That's all great to know, thanks very much for the input! :thumb_up:  Sounds like exactly what I'm looking for, as sort of an introduction to that realm before diving headfirst into the full-on Aya experience.

But this raises a couple of questions for me...

First, since I don't have any rue or harmala extract, what would you call "lots" of Caapi? I only bought 100g and am brewing it all up now... I want to save as much as possible to use with the Viridis later on so I was thinking I'd drink maybe 1/4 of it this time? Should I go with more to be sure it's effective?

Also, I've read a little bit about using gelatin to trap some of the tannins and avoid at least some of the purge... would that be a good strategy to try here? I've got a really strong stomach so I'm not too worried about it, but if I could be fairly sure of just staying in bed for the whole ordeal instead of having to dash to the bathroom that would be nice.
