Hi,

I don't have any answers. Only questions. I don't know where else to go!
I've been on my spiritual quest for 50 years now. I am on my own. No one knows I have tried anything at all. This is all just something I am doing for myself, and I do not involve anyone else in my quest.

The only psychedelic experience I've ever had was the first time I tried cannabis in 2008 (47 years old at the time). I could see bright neon graphic still photos and moving images. I could see who I really am. It was the best thing that ever happened to me.

I have tried maybe 25 times to get back there, and I haven't been able to.

Next, I tried 2 different types of truffles. Again, only the first time was worth bothering with. But it didn't come anything even close to my experience I had the first time I did the vapo in 2008. Plus, the truffles gave me a bad headache 3 of the 7-8 times I tried. And I have never found anything good / useful to come of any of these experiences.

Now, I have in front of me a packet that says 'Banisteriopsis caapi ~ 200X Vine Extract (95% Pure Alkaloids) 500 mg.'

But I don't have a clue what I am supposed to do with it!!!!! I thought it would come with instructions or something. The only thing I've tried so far, was to mix some of the powder in with the cannabis in the vaporizer. It was kind of nice the first time. I could see the electricity outlining my hands, etc., but that was only the first time. Never again. I don't have a clue how I'm supposed to use it. I feel I'm just wasting what I have. I haven't been able to find any information on the internet about how to use 200x extract... Only recipes for the actual vine.

Anyone? I would so much appreciate some help. As I said, I don't have anyone to ask, personally.

Time for me to leave for work now. I wish you all a wonderful day. ~♥~ Renee (Yes, I'm a girl.)
 
Hello FaeryNee,

Welcome to the DMT-Nexus.

The Caapi-powder you have is probably an extract of the caapi-vine, the active ingredients you now have are harmalas. Normally you either take the harmalas alone in a good dose or, if you want to go the 'normal' route, you take it together with DMT.

People like to call caapi 'the teacher' and DMT the 'light-bringer'. Oral DMT does not work on it's own, it needs a substance like harmalas to inhibit the break down of DMT in your body.

So you can now either do one of the following;

1) Take the harmalas alone, orally. I would suggest you take the whole 500mg or what you have left of it. This since a normal brew of caapi contains between 1 and 2 grams of harmalas and taking anything less might not be enough.

2) Take the harmalas together with DMT. This will give you a deep DMT+harmala journey where you can read many experience reports on this forum. For dosages I recommend you read more on it on this forum.

3) Extract DMT by using one of the many extraction teks we have on the wiki and make some changa, this is a smokable DMT+harmala blend. It's especially recommended for people who want to try DMT for the first time since it's more easy to dose.


One things that is important: harmalas are RIMA's and are dangerous in combination with certain medicines, SSRI's are one of them. Never take harmalas together with SSRI's and always check if they can becombines with other meds if you use them!


I hope you will find what you are looking for and I advice you to read, read and read. :)


Kind regards,

The Traveler
 
And welcome to the Nexus Renee. You will find several (of us) 50 yr olds here and, thankfully, very many 'girls' (as you put it 8) ).

50 is an excellent age to be coming fresh to all of this. And if you take (our founder & benefactor) Traveler's advice, and use this place to guide you on your path, you will find a whole new and life-changing world opening up around you.

Plus, it's a lovely place to come each day! :)
 
Hello FaeryNee,

Welcome to the Nexus!

Just about everything you can think of related to your question can be found in these parts. A wealth of information, reports, and friendly souls willing to help you on your path. I remember holding my first piece of vine wondering what the heck to do with it. About five brews in I finally did something right and WOW! You are in for some neat times my friend.

Many blessings on your journey and hope to see you around.

PS Make sure you head over to the wiki... Great stuff there.

Welcome!

IMO you will benefit greatly by spending some considerable time reading through the forum. After a good perusal over a couple of weeks perhaps, you'll have a very good idea where to go next. The DMT-Nexus is a HUGE source of useful information, on EVERY aspect of using DMT and DMT combined with other things.

Edit: And ahhh--how nice it would be to be 50 again!
 
Wow. I'm just home on lunch, and wasn't even expecting to see that anyone had responded to my post yet. Thank you so much everyone. When I get home from work, I'll start reading more :) I just hadn't noticed any posts concerning extracts/powder... I'll keep looking!!! And I would understand 500 mg. as a weight, but don't yet understand what 10x/100x/200x extract means, at 500 mg. I guess I kind of figured 500 mg. at 200x extract, might mean the equivalent of 10,000 mg. / 100 grams. Again, I am totally clueless at this moment, but I will figure it all out eventually. I'm sure. Thank you again for all of your speedy responses, and the nice welcome. ~☼~
 
Welcome here FaeryNee!!
God to see you!
this 10 X or 200X only means the extractors used say 200 grams of caapi reduced down to 1 gram of caapi extract. Then you just do your math from there, or as traveler just mentioned start no more than 500mg (roughly 100grams of grouded caapi, but some loss is happening during hte extraction so expect like a quarter or third less effect if the extraction is good).
You'll see, all this new talk alien to newbie will soon look like a familiar slang.
Enjoy the reading, there is some deep talks here about lots of things, and some less deep, life-like, but good life !!
 
Been reading since I got home from work... I think maybe I'll have to wait a few years before I can try to do anything on my own. My daughter lives with me. I have no way to be running some type of science lab in my kitchen. It was a nice thought while it lasted, but darn... At least I know where to come back for information, once I am living on my own, without anyone else to worry about questioning what I am doing. Thank you again for your time and input

There are a considerable number of us that exist here who are under the age of 21 or are 18+. :)

But there is something special in anonymity, since physical age certainly doesn't differ my opinion of anyone, it is especially easy to practice that here.

Welcome to the forums, fellow being.
 
Hi there Renee! I'm excited to see people of all ages interested in expanding their consciousness. I was wondering if you'd be willing to talk about why you are doing this alone. I certainly understand the benefits of taking time to examine yourself with no one else's influence (I'm a big fan of isolated trips occasionally as well), but there are also experiences that can only occur when you are sharing them with others.

I mainly ask because I am always heartbroken when I see people interested in new things only to see them turn back because of their circumstance. Either way, I wish you the best of luck on your journey!
 
Ahhh... On my own because it's always been a solitary journey for me... I have no contact with spiritual friends. I've been divorced and on my own for 24 years. My daughter is 28 and we've always been good friends, so have somehow managed to be able to tolerate living with each other for all these years ;) We've always lived in small towns where everyone knows everyone else's business, and I've never met anyone 'in person' that seemed to have any desire to break free from the human/material condition (including my daughter). I am only now becoming more adventurous through 'meeting' spiritual friends on facebook... None of them live near to where I live ~ Most live in other countries. I have just never fit in with the people where I've lived, but I've always been okay with that. I'm happiest when I'm by myself, especially happy while out hiking the coastal and Redwood trails ~♥~ The best. Well, I'm at work, and better get back to it!!! Thank you for your well-wishes and concern :)
