Ayahuasca, also commonly called yagé, is a psychedelic brew made out of Banisteriopsis caapi vine alone or in combination with various plants.
Beat writer William S. Burroughs read a paper by Richard Evans Schultes on the subject and while traveling through South America in the early 1950s sought out ayahuasca in the hopes that it could relieve or cure opiate addiction (see The Yage Letters).
