with rue it will not be ayahuasca?  Do you mean that in the traditional sense?  There is an maoi and a dmt source.  Crystal v., do you mean that in the sense that it will not work.  I have read several recipes that use rue in place of cappi online.  I was just hoping for some personal accounts of procedures and experiences using the ingredients I have at my disposal.  Swim was going to use Noman's tek to get spice, but now space and time are not really aligning towards that end.  Swim will be traveling and hence was curious about shelf life with brewed ayahuasca (or ayahuasca analog).
