A friend of mine gave me a plant that he claims is banisteriopsis and even kinda looks like it, except for a light Stripe down each leaf. The leaves are also slightly larger than usual. Here is a few pictures.

Veriegated caapi?

Interesting! While it does resemble caapi a bit I couldn't see any of the glands on the underside of the leaf where the leaf meets the stem. Does your plant have these glands? If not it doesn't rule out another banisteriopsis but to my understanding caapi always has these glands.
to my knowledge you can UV the plant to check for harmala content. If it has harmalas it will glow
Yeah I've seen ants feeding on those from my caapi. This mystery plant doesn't have them but apparently the original owner of the plant has been using this species for aya with success. I'd love to test some eventually.
