The psychoactive part of ayahuasca is known as DMT, which can be detected in the body through a urine test up to 24, maybe even 48 hours after consumption.

Again, if this is something that happened preceding her paranoia and winding up on the front porch of someone's house,

It kind of gives a loose timeline, but again, with her drug screening being negative, it's all back in the Merc.

I mean, we've seen it in cases before, the thallium poisoning of Xuling.

Oh, yeah.

You know, like in hindsight, you're like, why aren't you testing for thallium poisoning when people are saying that these are symptoms of thallium?

But again, in this instance, it's kind of like, all right, let's just run a broad panel.

What do you go for?

Especially when sometimes there are like really fringe drugs out there that the

or they're like just not, I don't know, popular or common.

And so the odds are low and you know, whatever.

But again, we won't know because we don't know what was tested for.

But coming back to the tea ceremony, this idea of cleansing, it was led by a shaman named Tito Santana.

Now, I flagged this name here in my notes because I don't think he ever comes back around as a suspect.

I don't know if that's because there wasn't enough information on that matter, but it is interesting because these ceremonies, you know, they have been performed for centuries.

This is something that has crossed many cultures, and the intent here is to kind of bring visions, self-realization, the idea of ego death.

to merge your consciousness with the greater reality, the universe, and sometimes even purging and vomiting.

I mean, there's a range of motivations behind a cleansing or a ceremony of this nature.

Now, in rare instances, it needs to be noted, right?

If an individual is predisposed to a mental illness, you know, sometimes ayahuasca, DMT, or any of these drugs can essentially unlock parts of your DNA, things that you might have otherwise been predisposed to.
