does it have to be caapi leaf?? could i just use
this. with some weed or peppermint or parsley something? Are harmalas required?
I guess I'm just a little confused between changa and enhanced leaf maybe?
From what I've read, the DMT needs to be absorbed into the leaf, and I am not sure if water can achieve that as well as IPA does. Don't quote me on that as I have only ever used 99% IPA to make changa (and as long as you get a sum weight of herb+dmt, the IPA will have all evaporated, it just needs sufficient time to dry).
The herb needs to contain an MAOI in order for it to be considered a true 'changa' blend. It can generally be any plant material that contains harmala alkaloids, or an extracted harmala alkaloid itself, mixed in with the blend. If it doesn't contain an MAOI, it is only considered enchanced leaf, not changa.
There is a sticky in the Changa subforum that sums up pretty well everything you need to know about Changa, the rest can be searched and found on this board. The members here are very knowledgeable, I just creep around and just haven't 'introduced' myself :lol:
If you can extract DMT, you can make Changa, it is EXTREMELY easy and well worth the time, money and effort.
1. Take DMT, put it in shot glass. (1:1 ratio works best, if you go more herb than DMT, you'll end up with a little too much herb to smoke to get a high enough dose)
2. Add acetone/IPA, enough to dissolve the DMT.
3. Mix it around so it dissolves as much as possible.
4. Add the herb blend you would like to use (DO NOT ADD BLUE LOTUS INTO THE IPA/ACETONE)
5. Let it evaporate, a fan works wonderfully.
Once it dries completely, and the sum weight is that of the herb+dmt, you are all set to smoke it.
Blue Lotus Petal is good to add to changa blends, but only after the changa has dried, you can add it. IPA/Acetone ruins the Blue Lotus, and when it dries it won't be very nice to smoke.
My first changa blend was 50% Caapi, 30% Mullein, 20% Blue Lotus. After making that blend I dropped the blue lotus because it didn't 'add' anything to the blend (it made the smoke a little bit harsh for me). I upped the Caapi to 80% and Mullein to 20% (Mullein is there just because it adds a little more 'color' and base to the blend, it also smokes well).
IPA = Isopropyl Alcohol. 99% works best (99% alcohol, 1% water)
I can't speak of experience with acetone, as I have never used it to make changa, but I have read that it works better than IPA.
You will not be disappointed if you follow the changa route.
