Yeah, if you have the chance just bite it already. It's something you need to try, I was scared first too but as soon as the sham began chanting I was floating, if I did it alone i would prlly die tbh ahaha. It's insane to handle it by yourself, and that's why ayahuasca it's a drug you need to be watched by either a experienced person or better case a shaman, there's places around the world. Peru, Amazon -- etc. I did it Peru. A warning it's that the smell might not be pleasant as when you will wake up you will stink so you will need a shower. Also don't eat anything before hand and avoid drinkin if you can. That's why if you ate anything you gotta be honest because's there's some danger involved and the sham will post-pone it.
