There is yet another contributing factor:
Many people are out there who are attracted to anything that appears or is described as dangerous.
One category might be drawn to ayahuasca rather than MDMA precisely because of the
risk.
So what if ayahuasca has been ripped away from its original custodians? They'll not care about that.
This is my private citizen's opinion: I would refuse to any invitation to use ayahuasca or peyote, because as a non native American, I would consider myself a receiver of stolen goods and morally complicit in theft.
What kinds of spirits would be willing to seek the company of a trespasser like me?
