My first chemical trance experience was ayahuasca in 2007 and it changed my life for good.
Of course that experience changed my mind also chemical induced trances too.
Now my point of view is more or less aligned to the one suggested by this book.
BTW, I do not recommend to try any hallucinogen substance to anybody unless very peculiar situations and conditions

While I personally have never used ayahuasca or any other hallucinogenic substance and don't recommend such use, I have a friend who indicated that his hallucinogenic drug experience opened his eyes ..... after which he NEVER took another hallucinogenic drug since he realized that there are other ways (such as meditation) to discovering Truth and he did not want to be substance-dependent.
Therefore, while I see some potential value in using substances in certain situations for certain individuals, my overall impression is that the dangers of substance-use far outweigh the benefits for MOST people though there are obviously exceptions to every rule. You may very well be one of the exceptions.
