It's well known that some ACRB has a much lower/higher alkaloid content than others...and I think if someone is serious about this endeavor - oral ACRB/MAOI - that the depth of their research should reveal common dosage information for quality ACRB...but with 2 threads written as instructions recently popping up which speak of very high ACRB doses, should there be a sticky made that covers the basics of oral dosage? (as well as possibly a sticky about not jumping into the teacher/instructor position too quickly? ...kidding...sort of...)
The 2 threads:
Acacia Confusa not active without MAOI
My Formosahuasca 'True Brew"
Like I said, someone who is serious about this and has done their research should probably already know that there must be something amiss with doses like this - whether it's the quality of bark, method of preparation, etc. But...we all know there are people who don't/won't do the research, and could procure some high quality ACRB and go off of information like this..and wind up biting off a WHOLE lot more than they, or most anyone, can chew. And this may not just be a rough night in their bedroom - it could be much more serious, with law enforcement and/or paramedics involved. On rather low doses of pharma/formo I've gone through things that had me being very vocal and loud - in a way that surely would have concerned the neighbors had I not made an exit to the country where I could make all the noise I wanted.
A novice ingesting 14-35g of properly prepared and administered high quality ACRB could be much more serious.
This is to see what others think about this situation. I rarely make threads, or posts even...but this caught my eye. Though I know we can't completely avoid things like this, I wonder if some steps should be taken.
Such as: a sticky that covers the basics of oral dosage information, as well as the fact that certain barks will differ in alkaloid content - sometimes greatly - and that experimentation is important - starting low, and working your way up until you know where your bark stands.
Part of me wants to just let the pieces fall where they may. Ya know, if you don't do the research and experimentation on something of this nature, then I guess ya had it coming.
Another part of me is concerned about the quality of information being spread, and people who decide they're ready to write instructions far before they're ready to write safe, solid, reliable instructions.
Thoughts?

So 25gs acacia whole pieces and 3gs rue are put into a blender whole.
20gs is a solid dose with 3g rue.
For a good healthy therapeutic experience 20g ACRB 3g rue made into a tea will do the trick.
My Formosahuasca 'True Brew"
INGREDIENTS:
Acacia Confusa root bark (140g)
Syrian Rue (18g)
That is for four doses...35g dried AC with 4.5g of Syrian Rue per dose. I'm a bit bigger than most people which is why I use the larger dosage. I am actually now starting to use upwards of 50g per dose, but I didn't want to put that in the post as most people tend to be in the 130-230lbs range and I don't like giving people dosage guidelines.
