Need help identifying if this is Acacia confusa, and if it's active without MAOI?

Hi community. I'm from China, and I obtained what I believe is cappi vine, seen on the pictures below. After my research, this clearly is not the caapi and I suspect it being Acacia confusa. Can you help me identify this root?🙏
Presumably the vine is from Brazil but turned out not caapi at all.
And, if this is actually Acacia confusa, I currently don't have a route of obtaining a MAOI (especially in China harder to know if things you get is what you think it is). So I came across this post about Acacia confusa orally active without MAOI,after extensive searching on the forum, it seems that's the only serious report on the subject. Really appreciate if anyone sharing their experience of Acacia without MAOIs😊

That looks like trunk bark. Trunk or root, you're going to be having some "fun" breaking that up (hence my amused response). Perhaps for further information you'll be able to search for herbal apothecary information regarding the "thinking of each other tree", if I'm remembering correctly how one of its names translates from your language. (Or is that Albizzia julibrissin, hmm.) Trunk bark is generally listed as only containing low levels of NMT rather than DMT, but you might get lucky.

I would guess that you've probably read this already:
This bit looks more promising, maybe the US wikipedia got censored.

An update, so I decided to just try it out, but it didn't work for me:cry:(not sure just"not working for me " or my brewing procedure had some problem)
So my procedure was:

140g of acasia confusa without additives was brewed for a total of four hours. Since there was only one pot, I didn't use the method of using separate reducing pot. Instead, I kept low simmer in one pot all the time. When the water evaporated until it couldn't cover the bark anymore, water was added. Water was added four times in the middle. I added approximately 8 spoons of white vinegar in total in two batches.
Finally, there was a little less water in the pot, but it was definitely not all cooked dry, so a little more water was added. When there was about 70ml left,Finally, two egg whites were added. After it solidified, it was taken out.
Before brewing, I smashed the bark with a hammer and put it in a pure cotton filter bag.
That day at noon, I had a little fruit yogurt and a small piece of jam bread. At 7 p.m., I had a little fruit (mango, banana, cherry tomato) because I read in several posts that eating a little before drinking can actually help the digestive system move and make DMT effective.
Is it that this doesn't work for me, or is there something wrong with my cooking process? I'm not sure if that pot has any impact. Its outer layer looks like it's made of stainless steel, but the inner layer has a coating (the kind of anti-stick pot).

The brewing was completed at 18:36, with a total cooking time of 4 hours and 10 minutes
I divided 70ml of the brewing into two cups and took the first sip at 21:58
It's been about half an hour since I drank two-thirds of the first cup at 22:38(nothing coming), so I finished the entire cup (1 dose)
At 23:45, it still had no effect, so I drank all of the second cup as well
At 00:45, I was almost certain that there was no effect, so I threw up. (Before this, I had felt nauseous and uncomfortable, wanting to vomit, but sometimes I felt the feeling of nausea decrease in the middle.)
At 1:10, I was confirmed that it had no effect. Feeling hungry, I ate some fruit and a bacon omelette burger

Yeah, it's really a better idea to establish whether the trunk bark contains any active compounds before committing to drinking a load of it without MAOI. The alkaloid content varies between different tree specimens, as well as being affected by the soil conditions along with the weather and season prior to harvest.

Really, try and do something to confirm the DMT content of your material. When you've come up trumps, find yourself something like syrian rue (Peganum harmala) seed to get the acacia orally activated.
