Thus, I think mixing Iboga with caapi may be producing highly synergistic effects, and from what you said earlier Jorkest, I think your system may be more sensitive to these effects than most. However I did find that 500mg of root bark with a little alcohol and 6 liberty cap mushrooms produced surprisingly powerful results considering the very small quantities of everything ingested. Low doses of Iboga also boost the effects of marijuana to a noticeable degree.
So last night i took ayahuasca made with 1.5 grams of maya's 50:1 caapi extract, 50 grams of hawaian chacruna and 0.4 grams of iboga root bark.
The effects of the ayahuasca was greatly altered by the iboga and the effects of caapi where definately greatly enhanced, but the effects of the DMT where strongly diminished.
I find it strange to read that you feel that mushrooms where potentiated by iboga, since mushrooms are so simmilar to DMT.
I felt very strongly as if something was vibrating on a different frequency than the DMT in the ayahuasca, and just more or less cancelling out some of the effects of the DMT.
The visuals where absolutely less fine, sharp and colourfull than i normally have with chacruna. They where more raw.
The effects of the chacruna where greatly altered and became much more physical. In fact the physical sensation was very simmilar to that of a high dose of mescaline. There was that constant feeling as if my body was 'slipping away', i think people familiar with mescaline will know what i mean with that.
I now see that taking ayahuasca with iboga was on itself a very good idea, but taking a DMT-plant with it made no sense at all.
Besides altered, the effects of the DMT also changed and became less and less DMT-like through the experience.
I can imagine that there could be a strong synergy with cannabis and even with alcohol maybe, since i absolutely did feel some sort of buzz all along, but not with the traditional tryptamines, at least definately not with DMT. Maybe with mescaline though, since the experience became a bit more like mescaline.
One thing is certain though: this tiny amount of iboga rootbark hugely altered the whole ayahuasca experience.
