Psychopharmacology (2025)
Cross-sectional controlled
Abstract
Comparing 54 long-term ayahuasca users to 53 non-users, found users exhibited lower death anxiety and greater death acceptance. Impermanence acceptance — predicted by ego dissolution intensity — was identified as the key mediating mechanism.
