From Erowid, I read
Quote:# harmine in dried cultivated stem at levels ranging from 0.057-0.64% [0.39% average of 6 samples];
# harmaline at levels of 0.05 to 0.38% [averaging 0.19%] (but said to be absent from some other samples) and
I'm ignoring other alkaloids, I know.
SWIM likes to take his harmine to harmaline in a w/w ratio of 10:3 with 30-40mg DMT. This works. Here, the alkaloid ratio appears to be 2:1. He has always used 100mg harmine/30mg harmaline for pharma. Now, if one were to do an extraction on caapi without separating out the harmine/harmaline from each other...
Now, he has read of people taking 200-300mg of their caapi extractions. Based on this info, 150g harmala-containg powder extracting from caapi would be 100g harmine, 50g harmaline, (ratio of 2:1) close to the aforementioned dose.
Is this sound logic? Will the 150g harmalas be an adequete substitute for the 100mg harmine/30mg harmaline combo?
