Is this really 'black' caapi?

[The Unknowing]

Looks like B. Colorada aka 'Red caapi' to me from a quick google search...not Alicia.
I asked the seller what 'Black' meant, and he just said it was the black strain. Very useful information.

Can someone who knows their Caapi vine please chime in?
Thanks

I don't have an ID but if it is, be careful with that stuff. By itself, it can floor you. That's the only ingredient you need for a brew. I was going to chase that down MHRB tea and let's just I never got that far...

Not sure what kind but most definitely NOT Alicia anisopetala/black aya .. But that´s probably a good thing since Alicia does not contain harmalas, will not serve to orally activate DMT, and we do not know anything about it´s toxicity, etc.

That being said, I´m not sure about the one you have ordered. If possible I´d at least try looking at the unreduced brew under blacklight and see if it shines, like caapi should, which would be a good sign for harmala presence. I´d also definitely start low at first, taking just that vine without admixture, like maybe 20g.

Good luck and let us know how it goes!

It does look like the pictures I have seen of Colorada, but that's not an opinion that should hold much weight.
