SWIM has never experienced DMT, but after reading a Caapi Copy thread here in which a MHRB tincture was described in combination with caapi copy, this sounded like the easiest introduction for a SWIM like SWIM, who would rather not deal with extraction teks (above a simply mixing alcohol with plant matter).
Anyway recently SWIM found a vendor that sells a caapi extract, 40% active alkaloids, at close to a dollar per gram. The vendor only specifically mentions that the extract contains harmine and harmaline, but if it's a caapi extract, it should have THH right? Maybe THH isn't well known enough to include it in the short description...Should SWIM have to ask if its in the extract? (This is the first time SWIM has seen a Caapi Extract, but now that he thinks about it, they are probably not uncommon...)
SWIM's other question is there's no reason that this caapi extract can't be used in lieu of Caapi Copy, right? What would dosages be like with this (40%) Caapi extract for MAOI inhibition? How would SWIM calculate dose?
SWIM plans to take this caapi extract in conjunction with a MHRB grain alcohol extract. He orignally planned to use Caapi Copy, but at about $7 per CC dose, he's assuming that a Caapi extract is a better bargain, while still retaining the aspects of ease and no nausea.
Here's the MHRB tincture quotes from the caapi copy thread:
And just to add to the general MHRB tincture discussion, here's a quote from a SWIM who did a phosphoric water extract, however even this is too unfamiliar for SWIM to attempt over the simple alcohol tincture:
The SWIM 2 quotes above uses 1/2 a fl. ounce (15ml) of the MHRB tincture, so SWIM was planning trying 10-15ml with whatever amount is suggested from the caapi extract. Are there small dose ranges that SWIM can build up upon, or is it really a kind of breakthrough or not kind of thing? Should he try consuming some of the MHRB tincture by itself for prep for aya, or will it not so much matter?
Also, how long should these extracts stay good while stored in a cool dark place? Months, years?
Extra Personal Info: Like he said at the top, he's never experienced DMT, and actually has only experienced marijuana and low dosages of mushrooms, and despite (failed) attempts to experience different forms of DMT described in this forum, he has steered clear of any drug in over a year. He is so interested in Aya because its mental uplifting and residual mental clearing effects, as well as reported overall "awesomeness". Actually really everything about it interests SWIM. He has read here warnings that only most experienced psychonauts should venture into aya, and also other viewpoints that it doesn't much matter what a SWIM has experienced as long as they are prepared. He's not about to go out and try every other psychadelic under the sun (which he isn't that interested in anyway) to feel that he's prepared himself for an ancient healing combination. SWIM isn't over his head is he? Because its helped so many (of which SWIM is merely speculating weren't extremely experienced with psychadelics beforehand), not to mention a Joe Schmoe National Geographic journalist, SWIM can't help but think that it can't matter much what your psychadelic BG may be..
SWIM isn't going to hastily run into aya dosing, but just wants to have everything a-okay clear on tincture dose ranges before experimenting!
