hello,
So lastnight I finally got a chance to drink ayahuasca!! I rather enjoyed myself
I asked the aya to take it easy on me as I am a beginner and that's what she did for me. I found myself in that all too familliar place I call ''Toy Land'' where everything is made of some sort of beautifully coloured plastic and it's full of well.....strange toys for the mind which later I remembered a Terrence Mckenna tape where he also finds himself in this place, like a nursery for the soul or something.

Anyway, about the admixture plants...
Does anybody here use plants other than DMT containing plants? such as lions tail, blue lotus, and calea? I do know these herbs are somewhat active when smoked but taken with aya im going to assume that it will have an effect of some sort. Don't get me wrong, DMT and aya was amazing even with the smaller dose that I drank, but experimenting is also great.

So would you have any advice on how many grams of these herbs to start with, possibly 5 grams boiled for an hour im thinking?

There are many admixture with ayahuasca, some sort of traditionnal inthe amazon some more experiemental. However it isn't necessary safe, especially for a beginner.
Some good and benign one are : ilex guyasa - gives an awaken feeling to aya, as it contained coffein and lots of anti-oxydants (no side effects) and said to help lucid dreaming.
Cat's claw is also another very medecinal herb that can be add, it helps the immune system, thus maintening you in good condition.
Psilocibine mushroom is a great one admixture too. You can even mix with chaliponga low dose.
same goes for salvia divinorum, smoked or quidded (or sublingual solution).

You could add some rue or passiflora to synergise the harmalas, also some caapi leaves.

After that changing dosage of both caapi and admixture change quite a few things.

Good luck !

Thanks rOm, I do know that mixing certain foods with caapi can be dangerous for sure. Ilex guayusa is a great tea and mixes well with spice. These herbs are common in changa blends which is why I am wondering if they are safe to take with oral caapi and without any dmt containing plants so I can get a feel for the effects, then eventually add in some dmt.

Does anyone else have something to say about this? Has anyone tried using these herbs as admixtures? Im interested in the potential effects of dagga/lotus. I have tried a few different ways to get an effect from these with only very slight changes in mood and am thinking that taking with oral caapi will bring out the true effects I just don't want to be the first to try it lol
