What does Landshark Ayahuasca copypasta mean?

The Landshark Ayahuasca copypasta comes from user X @LandsharkRides, whose account is now locked. Copypasta text is written in pseudo-academic language, which makes many people outside their field feel uneducated.

It appears the original post was written to mock a woman on TikTok who allegedly drank the hallucinogenic drink Ayahuasca and claimed to have hallucinated for 40 days afterwards.

“Ayahuasca is insane because it appears to be one of the most legitimately dangerous drugs, with the potential to gigasize your brain, but it is exclusively consumed by literal turbonorms who want to, unironically, “cure the trauma of internalized racism” and get killed in one fell swoop –

Although its use is illegal in the United States, its use is permitted in ceremonial practices.
