Mimosa vs B. Caapi brews

[kikko]

I was wondering what the differences are between Mimosa and B. Caapi. I understand that Caapi is the basis for all ayuascha brews but does a mimosa+syrian rue brew produce the same effect as a B. caapi only brew in equal DMT doses(since mimosa contains higher DMT concentrations)? Or does would SWIM have a different experience?

"I understand that Caapi is the basis for all ayuascha brews but does a mimosa+syrian rue brew produce the same effect as a B. caapi only brew in equal DMT doses(since mimosa contains higher DMT concentrations)?"

I'm not entirely sure what your asking. It won't produce that similar of an affect because B caapi only brews don't contain dmt. syrian rue and caapi are pretty similar though, and both very psychedelic at high doses even without mimosa or a dmt-containing plant.

Just to get it straight:

Contains DMT:
Mimosa hostilis
Psychotria viridis
Diplopterys cabrerana


Contains Harmalas (which are needed to orally activate DMT, plus they have some psychoactive effects on their own:
Peganum harmala (Syrian rue)
Banisteriopsis caapi (ayahuasca)

Sometimes ayahuasca is the name of just banisteriopsis caapi, sometimes ayahuasca is the name given for a brew containing banisteriopsis caapi + admixture (usually a dmt-containing admixture such as Psychotria viridis)

If it does not contain caapi, but rather rue, it is NOT ayahuasca, but an ayahuasca analogue.

So, you cannot compare mimosa with caapi, those are completely different. In fact, you coudl have a brew with mimosa AND caapi (though thats not a traditional brew, because they are both from different parts of south america). Maybe you want to compare Caapi vs Rue brews? Or using mimosa vs other dmt-containing admixtures?

In that case, I think you should get a variety of answers. There is this thread which there are some related posts (though the title is more about extracted alkaloids/pharma vs ayahuasca) Is an Aya experience the same as a Pharma experience? - Ayahuasca - Welcome to the DMT-Nexus

While rue and caapi both have harmalas, they each have different ratios of harmalas (rue usually having a lot of harmaline, while caapi usually has very little to no harmaline and mostly harmine), plus they each have different other alkaloids in small amounts. This might somewhat change the effects but its hard to describe, also because there are all sorts of variables that may be important (set and setting, dosage, one's expectations to the plant effects, natural variability even within same batch, etc).

Read the linked thread, and do a search for "rue vs caapi" or similar, to have an idea. Otherwise, I think its best that you try it yourself to see each one, and let us know how it goes
