Eating caapi powder is one way to do it, it works well if you have good and potent caapi, other wise it sucks majorly to have to eat 40+ grams to get where you want to be. Also beware of gastrointestinal discomfort from eating large amounts of caapi powder. Not to mention caapi varies widely in potency, some cultivars requiring as little as 20g for full inhibition, and others as much as 80g. Having a brew that you can roughly tell the potency by how bitter it is, is a good way to figure out your dose. With eating powder that is much more difficult and frustrating imho.
One thing i can recommend, is don't be afraid of brewing. Just get some good vine, not powdered, as its a pain in the ass compared to shredded or whole vine to brew, and if you have a crock pot let it cook 6 hours x 3 times with distilled water and a capful of distilled vinegar. Easy as pie, then just combine your liquids and reduce it down on low/med heat to a manageable amount to drink. This is an excellent and almost foolproof way to brew.
If you don't have a crock pot you can still brew on the stove top, its just a little more effort, but still easy, and hard to mess up.
Brewing is pretty simple, and once you try it a few times its almost impossible to fuck up. Its actually kinda fun imo, and so worth the time and effort rather than eating powdered vine.
PM me if you are having issues finding potent vine, i may be able to point you in the right direction. And good luck with your efforts in working with the vine.

In a society in which nearly everybody is dominated by somebody else's mind or by a disembodied mind, it becomes increasingly difficult to learn the truth about the activities of governments and corporations, about the quality or value of products, or about the health of one's own place and economy.
In such a society, also, our private economies will depend less upon the private ownership of real, usable property, and more upon property that is institutional and abstract, beyond individual control, such as money, insurance policies, certificates of deposit, stocks, etc. And as our private economies become more abstract, the mutual, free helps and pleasures of family and community life will be supplanted by a kind of displaced citizenship and by commerce with impersonal and self-interested suppliers...
The great enemy of freedom is the alignment of political power with wealth. This alignment destroys the commonwealth - that is, the natural wealth of localities and the local economies of household, neighborhood, and community - and so destroys democracy, of which the commonwealth is the foundation and practical means.โ - Wendell Berry
