===Lethal dosage===

The only available study that tried to estimate the lethal dose ([[LD50|LD<sub>50</sub>]]) of ayahuasca in rats failed to do so due to the enormous amount of brew necessary for the procedure. The authors estimated, however, that ayahuasca's [[Toxicity::LD50 is around 50 times a regular dose]]. This speaks for the safety of ayahuasca usage.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors=((Pic-Taylor, A.)), ((Motta, L. G. da)), ((Morais, J. A. de)), ((Junior, W. M.)), ((Santos, A. de F. A.)), ((Campos, L.
