Ayahuasca experience

I am really interested into having Ayahuasca ceremonies in the Amazon rainforest. I am 18 years old and I have told about my future adventures to a few friends who after some research decided to join me. I am confident that the experience will be beneficial for me. I however know that it needs to be a very personal decision and that it won’t be as enlightening to everyone. I am wondering whether I did well in offering my friends to come or ifit should be more of an individual experience. what do you guys say? also do you reckon it would be too early to do it before we are in our 20s?

Ps. I did specify and still do to this day that research needs to be done on the subject and not to think that its something fun to do.
