I still haven't tried it yet, but I should do so soon, if only to tell you all about the experience, dear reader. Thousands of cultures from all over the world have known for thousands of years about the special qualities and effects of the active substance in ayahuasca, Dimethyltryptamine, or DMT.

N, N-Dimethyltryptamine is a chemical substance that occurs in many plants and animals and which is both a derivative and a structural analog of tryptamine. It can be consumed as a psychedelic drug and has historically been prepared by various cultures for ritual purposes as an entheogen.

If you've never seen Mike Tyson in tears, please watch the video after this post; not because of the secret pleasure of seeing a grown man, a multiple world heavyweight boxing champion even, cry, but because of what he has to say about DMT. Dimethyltryptamine is a substance found in many plants, animals, and it's even produced by our own bodies. Despite this wide availability, it's still unknown why this substance exists or what function it has. It's also known as "the spirit molecule" and after reading this and watching the video you'll know why.
DMT is a psychedelic drug, but a special one; it has the effect of forever changing one's view of life, nature, humanity, the universe and spirituality. The trips caused by this drugs are very similar between all users; they all have the sense of completely losing their ego, leaving their body and being allowed to exist as a soul without a physical body, outside the physical realm we normally occupy. Almost all users report back being in a place akin to "heaven" where they are guided by a peaceful "presence" or even greeted by angels or huge guardians with one eye in the middle of their forehead, the place where the "third eye" and the pineal gland reside.
The fact that this drug and marijuana are illegal, while a superbly harmful drug like alcohol is freely available, is an indication, in my mind at least, that as a species, we've got "it" completely backwards. It's only recently that western science has begun to re-discover this drugs many beneficial uses; it could be a cure for PTSD, Depression, Trauma, and more. The mental imagery caused by this drug is so potent, that even people who are normally unable to conjure up such imagery (yes, these people do exist, and some of them have been blind all their life), are now seeing fantastical mindscapes and God-like figures.
After yesterday's rant against capitalism's addiction to greed, I'll be selfish today and leave it here ;-) Please, do watch the video, and I promise that as soon as I gather the courage, funds and my girlfriends approval, I'll try it out for myself, and report back to you as soon as I get my senses back :-) In the meantime, if any of you has had experiences with DMT or ayahuasca, or even psylocibin mushrooms, I'd love to hear about them!
