In this episode, Chuck explains the different names for Ayahuasca and how he previously thought it was only one plant. Joe compares it to DMT and notes that there are other components in Ayahuasca that make it different from straight DMT.
The Ayahuasca ceremony involves drinking a blend of two plants, Psychotria veridis and Banisteriopsis caapi, both of which are native to South America. It has become a trend in Silicon Valley for young entrepreneurs to travel to South America and participate in the Ayahuasca ceremony.
