Thank you for the welcome Purges.

As it happens, SWIM is planning on vaporizing changa-- caapi leaves.  He is holding off on the 10x caapi for now, wanting to get some experience before going that route.

Fortunately, although my friends may hesitate to participate directly, they are supportive of SWIM and will be with him for is first exploration.  SWIM may be able to inspire them as your aquaintance did.

I hope both of us are successful at re-tapping that well of inspiration and going with the flow.
