Ayahuasca, a psychotropic beverage from South America containing β-carbolines and DMT, can cause poisoning, especially when combined with other drugs. A 24-year-old male habitual user arrived at an emergency room with cognitive decline, delirium, stupor, and disorientation. Blood analysis identified DMT, harmaline, harmine, harmol, bufotenine, and tetrahydro harmine, along with other narcotics including a cannabis metabolite, amphetamine, and norcocaine. The poisoning was associated with ayahuasca consumption and its interaction with other drugs.
