How do curanderos trip so much?

I have read about curanderos tripping as often as twice a week for extended periods and i know in the native american church its not unheard of for people to participate in peyote ceremnoies once a week for years on end.
I know there is a lot of disagreement on tolerance but I am just wondering how these guys trip so much. In my experience, I think tripping as often as once a week can be helpful and beneficial to do for a period of time (like a few months) but in the long run, it is too much to sustain and takes a toll on your body and mind.
Do the curanderos know something we dont know or do they suffer ill effects like becoming burnt out or spaced out, dark trips and loss of profoundness of the experience? I dont really understand how people trip that much or even why you would want to.

Well, i would assume 8f one is still using the left side of thinking brain primarily, it would be a problem. (Image after image thinking) but once tapp7ng into the right side with meditation sober, and disconnecting from that way of thinking, so your conscious is clear 24/7, it shouldnt be an issue. Tripping, the biggist thing os the racing of the mind. Being able to control ones own mind, and influenceing oneself, under the influence, can lead to great discoverys and revelations.

I would assume the ones who partake that often, have a superior intellect.

This once you discover your true self as an extension of the universe and realize you have thoughts but aren't them you gain amazing control over trips and they don't take the same toll.

Yes you are spot on. We are not our thoughts. But so many are stuck, with their thoughts, their thoughts control them, they dont control thoughts. As if they are alomg for the ride, watching what happens in their mind. Instead of making it all happen. Emotion controls thought. So if we cant c8ntrol emotion, we cannot control ourselves, or anything around us.
