Some questions about Acacia Confusa

Migrated topic.

So I am preparing for my first DMT experience with Fomosahuasca. I'm very new to brewing this or pretty much anything else, so I'm curious as to what the exact method of preparation would be. I would like to try it orally without an MAOI if possible, though I do not have any known medical condition that would have a negative reaction with an MAOI.

(I'm not sure if this next part would be against the rules of the Nexus, please edit if so!)

I have seen reference to Psychoactive Herbs' supply of Acacia Confusa, but have not seen any reviews of their quality. I am aware that they use tree bark rather than root bark, though they claim that it is the same chemically. I have also seen reference to the fact that A. Confusa can be orally active without an MAOI, which I would prefer. Would this supply of A. Confusa be useful for that, or would procuring some Syrian Rue/B. Caapi/other MAOI be necessary with the tree bark?

I have other questions, but I think these are good for now.
 
I just tried a tea and was not very impressed. I know for a fact it's correct bark and it's fresh from Hawaii. I was a little disappointed and I'm thinking it would have been better with and MAOI. I might have just made the tea wrong, but I would recommend an MAOI with it.

Thanks for the heads up. I am considering buying some Syrian Rue to go along with it. I've been reading a preparation guide for "Asian Ayahuasca", it seems to be very thorough and explains things well.

What is the consistency of the bark? Is it thin strips or more chopped up than that? If it's not chopped up well, I will likely just use an electric coffee grinder to powder it, put it in some tea bags and let it steep for around 6 hours over a low flame.

How did you prepare it? What was the experience like?
 
You will need a coffee grinder. It's like thin bark, but very hard to pull apart with your hinds. You'll never be able to pulverize it yourself.

DMT is not orally active without MAO inhibition.

This topic says otherwise. I am not certain if I can recreate the same effects, but I will attempt to do so.

The bark arrived today and it is crushed up already, though it is not powdered.

Also, the supplier states that it is from "Eastern Taiwan", not Hawaii. I cannot of course verify this but I see no reason for the supplier to lie about this.

I've also found my method of preparation (comments/suggestions welcome!):

I will take an amount of the bark (not yet decided on how much would be necessary) and boil it in water with some lemon juice added for easier extraction of the DMT. I may use tea bags for this, or I may not. Again, not sure what the best method would be. I will boil/simmer it for a couple of hours, remove the bark from the water and store it. Then I will repeat this process with another batch of water and the same bark. I will then continue this pattern until the water stops changing color. At that point I will discard the bark and combine all of the brews. I will then boil it down until it can easily fit in a container (tupperware seems the most likely). I am not certain when I will consume the brew, but I plan on making it today or tomorrow. It seems like an easy enough process, even if it will take a while.

Comments/suggestions on this method of preparation? Recommendations for the amount to be used?
 
NEED MAOI
just because some article says it may be active without, doesnt mean it is, and you would probably have to up the dose a lot. They say jeruma (mimosa) is orally active without MAOI, you just have to take upwards of 50-100 grams of it.
So if working with acacia, i dont see this as a very frugal option.
Better get some rue or aya
