Different types of caapi.

[soulfood]

Hi folks,

I often notice that some vendors have different colours of caapi available which are said to have different influences on the body and mind. Also various different countries of origin.

Any ideas if these effects are caused by the balanced content of the harmala alkaloids in the vine of is it more down to other more obscure alkaloids being present.

I guess I'm just a little curious about there being a more suitable vine out there to suite different individuals.

So whose in the know?

Almost certain it comes down to the age of the vine and climate levels. Such as 'Peruvian Red', 'Ourinhos White', or 'Cielo Yellow'. As this is merely just speculation but climate seems to take its toll very specifically. The white and yellow vine may certainly may be cultivated in the very same region but it has been confused with the title 'Ourinhos'(little gold). It has been going through SWIM's mind too of the alkaloid content through the strains, but would expect fluctuations of harmalas(harmaline/THH).. However, these matured vines grow very THICK and wonderfully intertwined. Flowering ever rarely, these vines are most cultivated for potency.

If you're looking to experience the vine in its true form, white would suit you.
