Dear ones,
I just made 10x enhanced caapi leafs for changa according some guides here @nexus with the ifea to concentrate the harmalas.
That means I cooked 20gr of caapi leafs in water for a day, then I took out the leafs and cooked down till i had sricky stuff which i then mixed with 2gr “new leafs“.

But....i researched harmaline on Wikipedia where is written that they are NOT water soluble.
So I actually dont understand my work..... did the harmalas stay in the “old“ leafs....or do i totally misunderstand the process?

Freebase harmalas are poorly soluble in water. That's what the Wikipedia article refers to.

The harmalas in the leaves are in a salt form. I'm not sure what particular salt that is, but most harmala salts are water-soluble, and adding vinegar to the boil water may also help them convert to acetates, a very soluble form.
