Testing Caapi Brew (first time) - After Drinking, which effects should be present to know you've drank "enough"?

[ayahuascaexplorer]

Hello to this beautiful forum.

I am testing out my caapi brew to get a feel of how much I need, prior to doing a full dive into an aya trip. What are the indicators that I've taken enough Caapi Brew? I've had two types of results thus far:

Result 1: I am clearly getting a body high and headspace, with very light tracers (around 100g of Caapi). This is most intense in about the 30-45 min mark after drinking, then greatly subsides.

Result 2: I get very light visuals, similar to a 1g or less mushroom trip. This is at about 150g of Caapi.

Should I be aiming for Result 1? Result 2? Does it even matter that much in comparison?

Thank you all for the help thus far and the plethora of information on this forum!

Depends on the admixtures you are going to add. But go for result 1 and start with half of it, if you are not sure.

Both doses should work well in your case. From my experience, when there are tracers, there’s often enough for oral activation of DMT. Adding DMT into the mix allows you to somewhat time and fine-tune the experience. For instance, with a relatively low dose of harmalas and a high dose of DMT, you can create a medium-intensity experience that is fairly short in duration compared to using medium doses of both harmalas and DMT. On the other hand, a higher dose of harmalas can be profoundly impacted even by a small amount of DMT.

I’d recommend starting with a lower dose of harmalas and combining it with a relatively low dose of DMT, gradually increasing the dosage from there. This approach allows you to ease into the experience, build a stronger connection with Aya, and deepen your understanding over time. It seems like you’re already on that path, which is fantastic! Keep trusting the process.

Thank you both for the quick reply and information! I believe this answers my questions!

I'll be adding DMT (MHRB sourced) into the mix next week and will go from there.
