The time has finally arrived. Today I will be making my first brew and tonight late at night I will take it. My plan is to brew 50g of red caapi with 5-7g of mimosa hostilis( any dosage advice on mimosa would be great.. I've read multiple things) in three cycles of 60 minutes each.... then reducing down to 150ml or so. I plan on setting up my computer for some tunes on my side porch and bringing my comforters outside to have the experience on my trampoline to make purging an easy endeavor. I think bring outside on a cushiony trampoline with warm blankets and ambient music will be a good setting for my first time. I'm kind of nervous but I know the time is right and I can't wait to get to know this medicine. Again..... suggestions on dosing are still welcome as I've never made the tea before. Oh and I plan on doing a little tannin binding so if that should be taken into consideration regarding dosage keep that in mind.

All i can say is...go low on the tea. 30mg fumarates and 30-50g caapi can catapult me into sub breakthrough states easy. I would go for 1-3g tea at most. Better start slow imho. Trampolin and ayahuasca sounds horrible imho because of nausea. As for tannin binding: Do it while the caapi brew is still unreduced, because you want to drink teh sediment after you have reduced it. Had many misfires decanting reduced brews. Perhaps this isnt too much of an issue with higher doses, but with 30-50g caapi, id drink the sediment.

Bon voyage! Dosage depends on how your good material is, so suggestions are likely random. But these amounts seem to be pretty reasonable IMO.

Man I think tripping on the trampoline with blankets would be amazing. And you can just lean over the side to purge, yea.

Warm Travels

Does 3 1 hour boils sound good? I read to do three three hour ones and if that's the case I might take the day tomorrow to brew it and take it at night instead of all rushing it into tonight.

Sounds like a plan to me brudda! Enjoy the beautiful time!

edit: didn't see that last post lol but na don't rush it take your time with the brewing and jus do 4 boils 60 min ea., this way your being a little bit more thorough with the brew.
--dls--

Most alkaloids will get extracted after these 3 boils, i think there is a thread somewhere on the nexus discussing this. Prolonged boiling apears to convert some harmin into Tetrahydroharmin, one aspect that might seperate rue teas from caapi teas. That being said, i have had great travels doing just 3 boils.

All the best in your endeavours!

I might do this tomorrow. Horrible day at work and I don't know that having stress about work in the surface of my mind will be good for this

Don't rush things, one solid trip is better than 3 mediocre ones. Also add some acid (vinegar, lemon juice, phosphoric acid etc.) to your cooking pot. But not too much, you want to make it ingestible and keep it in your stomach. 3x45min would work, too, depending on your particle size. Finer is better.

Have a fantastic journey!

I too recently took the plunge for the first time and am so glad I did. Id suggest you forget you ever read anything about the medicine, forget about the nexus, and just stay open and you'll be good. Though quite intense and profound I found the experience to be much gentler than I expected from all the hype.

Blessings your way!

I have a feeling that I'll be okay.... I've had changa sessions that have been over two hours of very heavy psychedelia with over an hour total of breakthrough time. I know Aya and changa are totally different animals but I'm totally welcoming to fully immersive psychedelic experiences. Just remember dependent origination
