La responsabilidad penal del guía por los eventuales daños derivados de la ingesta de ayahuasca en el curso de una ceremonia de consumo

Revista de Estudios Jurídicos y Criminológicos January 1, 2026 Antonio Martín Pardo

This paper examines the criminal liability of a guide for harm arising from ayahuasca ingestion during ritual ceremonies, a practice that has grown notably in recent years. Analyzing the victim's own contribution to their harm, it reviews major doctrinal and jurisprudential positions, especially those from the theory of objective imputation. The study concludes by proposing a dogmatically grounded solution that limits the guide's responsibility based on the principle of victim self-responsibility and case circumstances.
