When you write to the DEA, just stick to the safety issue. Don't talk about cults, delusional pseudo-shamans, fake spirituality or any of that. That is outside of their purview and would muddy the issue for them. Make it clear and simple, just talk about the unsafety of AH's lack of qualifications and say that it would be dangerous public policy to set a precedent to let just anyone, with no qualifications, offer ayahuasca to the general public in the name of "religion." But ayahuasca does have potential therapeutic benefits in the right hands, so we don't want to close the door on that.
