Acacia confusa Root bark vs. Acacia confusa branch bark Question

[Brian Kerr]

Is there any health concerns to using *Acacia confusa* lower branch and stem bark as apposed to using the root bark ?

I am going to make a type of ayahuasca with the bark and Syrian Rue seeds.

I was planning to make a resin with the bark so I can swallow it in ball form or pill form if you will.
Good idea ?.....Bad idea ?.........does the bark tase bad ?.........maybe it is not nessessary ?

I was thinking on grinding up 3 to 5 grams of Rue seeds and swallowing the Rue in gel caps 30 min before eating the
bark resin (or tea) if that is better.

Any suggestions about my plan ?

Thanks for any help

I don't know if the root bark is nearly as active as the regular bark, I have only heard of just "bark" being used, nonspecifically.

root bark is the part most reported to be of the highest alkaoid content. People were selling stem bark at first, but now rootbark is available.

I would never eat rue. Brew it properly into a tea that is well filtered and decanted after sitting for 2 days, and then reduce and drink. I would do the same with the acacia. Just eating the rue will be much more uncomfortable.

..endlessness found stem and root bark to both contain DMT/NMT..stem bark is about 0.6-0.8%, root bark higher..
there are no known toxic compounds as such..

there are reports that the bark is orally active on it's own (i.e. without additional MAOIs...) see: Acacia confusa & Formosahuasca - DMT Experiences - Welcome to the DMT-Nexus

..i would be concerned if the demand for A. confusa root bark, at expense of the perfectly usable branch bark, grows too great..root bark harvesting of acacias will kill the trees (unlike mimosas) ..stem bark is the eco-friendly thing to utilize...
