MAO’s and their inhibition are tricky biz Binary Drool. Through my ayahuasca journals, I have learned that my MAO needs a serious beat down for a ‘long’ open pathway. Now the ‘high’ that I get when I do vine only brew is not in comparison to a tryptamine high. It is more subtle and nurturing. Brewed right however, there are pleasant CEV and an elevated feeling of “Everything’s gonna be just fine”. I get some colour and vision on large amounts though… 200g+. I have extreme difficulty moving at all… even a turn of the head can produce nausea. I know that I’ve done my brew right when I’m waking up earlier in the mornings to come, and feeling much more positive and up beat.
I have tried the most common vine types out there. McKenna Red, Cielo, White and Black. Each time for me, the McKenna Red had the least noticeable effect. The white has a mild but very pleasing and healing effect for me. It’s very gentle and I’ve consumed over 200g in a evening. It’s probably the happiest vine out of what I’ve tried. The black is strong and has a similar effect to the white, but much stronger… nice though. My choice when I reach into my apothecary is whole cielo vine. 224g of whole cielo knocked me down hard, but gave me the strongest, longest lasting effect that I’ve ever felt. Multiple purges, both orally and rectally, and visions where very warm and jungle like.
My recommendation is that you try a whole vine. Cielo has always been good to me. I’ve always had success mixing the cielo vine with a little bit of black vine also, though the black vine I get is already shredded. The spirit within seems to be stronger in whole, self-prepared vine… or perhaps it just stores longer, I’m not sure.
Have you read up on dieta? Some take it very seriously, some not… I’m somewhere in between. Some dieta aspects that I would have laughed off earlier have proven to be important to me for a successful vine ceremony. When vine’s comin up, the wifey’s cut off and there’s no self-lovin!! Lol.. laugh as I know you are, but times that I’ve caved, my visions have been very low and sometimes non-existent. Ecstasy before ecstasy makes ecstasy dull
.
As for doses… caapi only brew in the jungle can be consumed in excess of 500g, depending on where you read. 50- 100g opens the pathway for my chaliponga brew, but doesn’t produce a strong effect on its own. 200g+ does though.
This again, is just my opinion developed from my own ayahuasca journals. What works for me, may not work for you. Write down everything... look for patterns. Always diet properly when dealing with MAOI’s and ALWAYS have a sitter who is trained well!!!
Good Luck
