Abstract
Trata-se de uma avaliação do possível papel do uso da ayahuasca, em contexto religioso, como auxiliar na redução do consumo abusivo de psicoativos, a partir de uma pesquisa de estudo de caso. Foi realizada uma entrevista aberta com uma usuária regular de cocaína, nicotina e álcool que abandonou este comportamento após entrar em contato com a ayahuasca num contexto ritualizado. O caso foi analisado à luz da comparação deste com a literatura existente sobre o assunto. Foi traçada uma relação entre o início do uso da ayahuasca e o abandono do uso de cocaína, nicotina e álcool pela entrevistada, a partir da avaliação das representações simbólicas e das descrições de suas primeiras experiências com a bebida.
