From what I heard he had a psychosis after an Ayahuasca ritual, then used gold from jewelry which might contain lead and other nasty stuff for consumption and injection and also used SSRIs before he died, so possibility serotonin syndrome.
Sounds like they were mentally ill beforehand, ayahuasca didn't do that
And then he was found at the bottom of a lake, which would be unusual for serotonin syndrome
Ayahuasca can absolutely trigger latent psychosis, all psychedelics can do that.
Say that latent part again slowly
I'm aware of the meaning. I'm not sure what your point is though.
From an outside perspective it's this:
I'm pretty sure that none of the Ayahuasca retreats test for latent psychosis or if there is even a reliable way to do that.
Maybe the lead weighed him down
gold too.
Haha gold
ayyyyyy
Auuuuuu
Ahh ok, so drugs it is. I thought the cause of death was due to the gold injection, im actually shocked he survived that now.
gold is relatively inert, its the ions and the other elements, like nickel, lead,,etc that are in gold.
They drowned in a lake
