If one wouldn't like to make a great Formosahuasca it would be advisable to avoid doing the following:

(Yeah, the wording is funny, but believe it or not during the U$A prohibition cans of malted barley were sold with directions specifically telling the consumer what not to do if he didn't want the can to turn to beer. It was the first home-brew renaissance.)

For each serving:

10 gram 5x B. Caapi Extract
15 gram Acacia Confusa Bark (Great dose for most people, but next time around WG will try 20 grams, he likes total immersion.)

White Vinegar
Cranberry Juice

WG is pretty much on a macrobiotic diet, meat eaters reported less profound effects. Be sure to research your MAOI interactions before starting. WG also popped some activated charcoal the morning of the ritual and fasted on juice for the day, but not really, because none of this really happened.

Crush and tear Acacia bark into thin flat strips, about 1/4 inch wide and 3 inches long. Put into a crock-pot with distilled water (2.3 L for four servings), a Tablespoon of vinegar, and set to high and watch. When the mixture seems like its just about to boil turn it to low and mix (WG accidentally allowed it to start bubbling a bit, but it was early enough that the DMT wasn't destroyed, but avoid that. Do NOT boil.) Mix and top off with water periodically (check every 1.5 hours) until the last 2 hours (after 6 hours, making it 8 total hours) where you will pull the lid half way and add another Tablespoon of vinegar and allow the mixture to reduce to about a liter. The vinegar should be pretty much cooked out. Strain out bark and allow to cool. Put mixture in a jar and refrigerate over night.

The next day you will see sludge at the bottom of your jar. WG poured the mixture (disturbing as little sludge as possible) through plain white paper towels into another jar 3 times. It has been said that a t-shirt works well, but there is no laundry detergent that WG is willing to taint his mixture with. Also plain paper towels contain no ink. Coffee filters would probably work, but clog up easily. This mixture can be frozen but will be good in the fridge for 7 days or so.

When you are ready:

Encapsulate the 10 grams of 5x B. Caapi extract powder and swallow with a juice rich in vitamin C. WG didn't have enough capsules for everybody so he just mixed it with cranberry juice. Wait a half hour, by then the B. Caapi should have you feeling pretty sedate. It feels pretty good, actually.

Drink your share of the bark juice, with or without some cranberry juice. Don't puke for a half hour (nobody puked actually, even the meat eaters were able to keep it down, but there was some wicked pooping.)

You better be ready because there is no turning back after that. It lasted exactly two hours (duration of a REM cycle?) and left all participants feeling better than before drinking the brew.

WG will do this once a month for the rest of his life. Each serving cost about $20 in the end, MHRB would bring the price down I'm sure, but the participants really wanted to try the Formosa. There is 200x B Caapi Extract available, but it is not as cost effective.

Once again, none of this really happened and nobody should try it.

Namaste, yo.

Hah! Good prohibition story. Quite funny when following the letter of the law will let you slip right past the intent of the law. With a bit more human-centric processing used one would think this sort of thing wouldn't happen.

My knowledge of formosahuasca is limited, but you've inspired me to read up on it. Oh joyous is the time when I have interesting things to study!

Not working on a 20g/capita batch. Will post how it didn't go in a few days.
