Therapeutic Potential Ascribed to Ayahuasca by Users in the Czech Republic

Journal of Psychoactive Drugs August 30, 2018 Miroslav Horák, Lea Hasíková, Nahanga Verter 16 citations

Ayahuasca users in the Czech Republic describe its therapeutic potential as broad, particularly for treating drug addiction, based on memory recall. The intensity of the drug's effects does not directly correspond to its therapeutic benefit. These findings come from semi-structured interviews with 46 participants (23 women, 23 men) who had attended at least one ayahuasca ritual or facilitated sessions, analyzed using grounded theory.
