I know, i've read them, still doesn't change my opinion. I view the different Harmala-containing plants simply as different flavors of the same kind of medicine, which i call Ayahuasca. People may get all pissy over the name of the concoction, but i just talk about the plants involved, but i call it all Ayahuasca, because for me the Harmalas are what causes the "Ayahuasca Effect", which is different than oral DMT with Moclobemide, Harmine and Harmaline imo are what primarily makes it Ayahuasca, other plant constituents add to it and create unique flavors but at the end of the day, the Harmalas are Ayahuasca, imo. Rue is fine, Caapi is fine, any other Harmala-containing plant capable of activating oral DMT is fine, they're all useful, none are better than the other, they just have different flavors and while Caapi may feel better than Rue, Rue still gets the job done, make no mistake, therefore, embrace all the plants no matter your preferences, whatever you call it doesn't matter, Harmalas and DMT in any form is good medicine. Plus there's admixture plants that can be added to the mix, further adding to things and creating unique flavors of the medicine/experience, it's all still Ayahuasca to me, just different flavors.
Caapi to me isn't Ayahuasca, Caapi is Caapi, Rue is Rue, Harmine is Harmine, Harmaline is Harmaline, but the Harmalas are what i see as Ayahuasca, not the specific plant, Ayahuasca is just a label, i focus more on the plants used rather than the label, but i lump it all, Ayahuasca, Anahuasca, Pharmahuasca, etc, under the label Ayahuasca. I've had this conversation many times with people on here and elsewhere, people have their opinions/views, but i like to be specific and refer to the plants, especially since the label Ayahuasca includes traditional and non-traditional plants and preparations. People may wanna split things into different categories, and that's fine, but i lump it all under the main category of Ayahuasca, especially since that's the main label used that has the most information and research attached to it, compared to the label Anahuasca or Pharmahuasca. Plus there's many different admixture plants, traditional and non-traditional, that can be added to Ayahuasca and similar potions that in themselves can change/alter/flavor the overall medicine/experience, and yet it still falls under the same label/category of Ayahuasca, even though they are different flavors of the same kind of medicine. So yes, technically, i call it all Ayahuasca, and i see absolutely nothing wrong with that.
4 is good enough.
