Acute Psychological Adverse Reactions in First-Time Ritual Ayahuasca Users: A Prospective Case Series

Conclusions Based on the cases reported here, we suggest that although it is possible that participating in ayahuasca ceremonies may entail acute psychological negative reactions, those challenging experiences can also have positive long-term effects. Prospective research on the safety profile of ayahuasca and how it is affected by the context of different practices and safety strategies is therefore necessary.
