Q: How do I know when it’s the right time for me to drink ayahausca again?

A: There’s no simple answer to this question, as it depends on your individual process. Many factors are involved, including where you are on your path, how frequently you have opportunities, and how deeply you’re committed to showing up for the transformation that ayahuasca can catalyze.

Utimately it comes down to a simple question: are you facing your stuff and doing your work, or are you avoiding it? Is your urge to return to the medicine a way to go deeper—or a means of avoiding your inner work? Is it genuinely time to receive more information, or are you looking for instant transformation?

It’s possible to be addicted to plant medicine/psychedelics, not in a physiological sense, but certainly in a spiritual one. Assuming that you’re consulting with ayahuasca as a catalyst for inner work—are you keeping up your end of the deal?

Here are links to two posts where I discuss this question in-depth:

Knowing When It’s Enough, Part II

The second post has a lengthy list of questions to ask yourself in evaluating whether it’s time to go back for more.
