"Since these substances are illegal in our sick society, by asking for a sitter in a public forum like this, you are opening a can of worms. You could be a law enforcement officer - note 0 freinds - or the would be siitter could be a law enforcement officer."

The second possibility is remote though possible, but the first (that the poster is a law enforcement officer) is not a risk. What could a sitter possibly be charged with? I would not hesitate to sit for someone who was in my area. There is no legal risk if the sitter does not provide the brew.

That said, I would not suggest using a stranger as a sitter. Get to know people first and you might be guided to the right person.

And it is not enough for the person to be spiritually oriented, they need to know something about Ayahuasca.

And Ayahuasca is not DMT (though DMT is usually a component of the experience) nor is it interchangeable with Salvia or other entheogens. Anyone considering doing Ayahuasca should thoroughly educate themselves about it first. I suggest going to www.forums.ayahuasca.com and reading the sticky posts in the Information, The Vine and Plant Spirits sections. There is a thread in Information section called "A Safety Guide for the Solitary Ayahuasca Drinker" that has a section discussing the role of a sitter. You could also post in Connections & Events section asking to find friends/kindred spirits in your area. That is probably the closest thing to an online portal of the kind you are asking about.

clearly, a curandero/a would be a million times better than someone to just sit with you.
