I just received 40gr of mimosa hostilis (powder) and 125gr of caapi. This is suitable for 5 people, however I only have one pot. I've read that you have to brew and reduce the plants separately and should use a minimum of 4 pots. I usually wouldn't question authority, but this makes no sense to me. I also read that you COULD use one pot for the brewing and reduction stages, but you would have to let the sediment for the mimosa settle in the fridge for a couple days. How many days? Would this affect the potency? Is Obama the anti-christ? So many questions. Please help, I only have one pot!

How did you come to the conclusion that 125g of caap is suitable for five people? Imo, that would make two brews of ayahuasca at most. Also, 8g of mimosa is a lot to start with if you (or your friends) have never taken aya...that's equivalent to ~160mg of dmt. It is usally recommended that people start with 3-5g of mhrb.

Additionally, Once you'd reduced your ayahuasca, you should drink the sediment as it usually contains actives, at least in the case of caapi. If you brew them together, there's no way to distinguish one plant's sediment from the other.

As to your Obama comment, I'm going to assume it's a joke, but please know that conspiracy theory discussions are not allowed here.

Wlcome to the Nexus

way too much mimosa and not nearly enough caapi unless you lucked out and got some very potent vine..which is unlikely due to vine like that being rare. I mean, 20g of caapi might actaully activate 8g of mimosa..but it is just a HUGE waste..when say 80g of vine might take you farther with only 2g of mimosa..

Was this an online "ayahuasca" kit? If so, avoid those things. They are usually put together by fools.

You should always test your vine out at about 20g first anyway just in case..jumping in to full doses with untested plant materials can turn everything into a disaster. Trust me.

Wow. Thanks for the info guys. I guess I'll give 3gr of mimosa a try. Although it equates to 8gr mimosa and 25gr caapi if divided by 5. It seems like this would be more of an acid trip that I really don't wanna have. I still only have one pot though lol. Any cooking teks?

And yes it is a kit. Didn't know things could be so tricky

I don't follow...you can divide any number by five and get a result. However, if the division gives you amounts that are off (i.e. too high or too low) then why divide by that number? Usually, 50g is given as the lower end of the amount of caapi needed to orally activate DMT and 8g of mhrb would be getting into the higher end of DMT needed.

As jamie pointed out, it might work as presented, but I can tell you that for me, 25g of caapi wouldn't do anything, even if I took 8+g of mhrb. Physiology varies so much from person to person that you really have to experiment a bit to figure out where on the spectrum you lie.

As for teks, look around the forum, specifically the Ayahuasca subforum. You can also check the FAQ (it's linked in my signature).

Thanks bro. I'm a little upset that this dosage is off. Wasn't expecting that.

Can I double the dose of caapi, meaning drink 2 doses? Would that still activate the 3gr of mimosa?

Personally, I would start with 50g of caapi and somewhere from 3-5g of mhrb, depending on how hard headed you know yourself to be. If you have experience with other psychedelics and know that it generally takes more for you to get off than for others you know, I would lean towards 5g. If however, you know yourself to be sensitive, I would lean more towards 3g.

Either way, if your first experience is underwhelming, you can begin to increase the amount of caapi/mhrb. I would advise increasing caapi initially, moreso than dmt admixtures, such as mhrb. This is because with insufficient caapi the increased admixture won't really be effective. However, if you increase the amount of caapi you take, you may very well discover that the same amount of admixture (or slightly more) will send you significantly farther.

Ok thanks. I'm gonna take it easy on the mimosa and get to brewing then. I'll post the results (if any) soon

i am as well looking for a one pot cook tek, but can't manage to find one as the term 'one pot' will be in every tek... so is there anyone here who can cover that main part of the reason this question was posted.

it is great you all share your knowledge and caution him about the ingredients, but answering the 'one pot' part would be lovely : )

i hope someone can enlighten us on that

Hard to imagine that amount of caapi stretches out to that many doses. I'm thinking 1 or 2 doses of caapi there, while dividing it into as many as 3+ doses stretches it too thin.

And with the root bark it's best that new batches on new people start as low as like 2.5g, then work up a little from there.
