Sarvis says ayahuasca did not make him quit smoking and drinking by effort, but that the habits fell away on their own.

“Like some of the things like smoking and drinking, I'm not going to say I quit any of that. It kind of quit me”

Sarvis argues the medicine revealed how media and society had programmed him to believe he was flawed.

“It becomes so evident of how I was programmed. And how I was taken away from self and molded into this belief system that I'm flawed”

Sarvis says ayahuasca experiences are highly individual, so no one can predict another person's ceremony.

“every person's experience is different so one person can't tell you what you're going to experience in ceremony they can only tell you what they've experienced”
