Has anyone done this?
I've been clipping leaves from my now very mature cappi plant and making tea with them in the morning. Sometimes alone with a bag of green tea. It's a very noticeable potentiation with the stimulant effect. Of course we've all made CHANGA this way, but has anyone tried to just harvest leaves and leave the bark in place?
According to this source the leaves have the highest concetration of alks anyway.

Ott 1994 summarized Rivier & Lindgren 1972 as reporting:
0.05-0.83% total alkaloids in dried stems;
0.14-0.37% in the branches;
0.25-1.90% in the leaves;
0.61-1.95% in the roots and
0.91% in a lone sample of seeds.
In all but two cases harmine was the major alkaloid.
In two cases d-leptaflorine (tetrahydroharmine) was the major alkaloid, exceeding harmine content by a few percent. One of these was a sample of root and the other a sample of stem.
In all of these cases, harmaline was a minor alkaloid comprising traces to 17% of the total alkaloid.
On a slightly seperate note. Today was a particularly rough rue-hcl spice journey. Really had me missing the MUCH warmer glow of cappi.
So any one tried this?
If your religion, faith, devotion, or self proclaimed spirituality is not directly leading to an increase in kindness, empathy, compassion and tolerance for others then you have been misled.
