I have this 10x B. Caapi extract and am trying to figure out how much to use for my first pharmahuasca session.

The page says "Our 10x liquid extract tincture contains about 0.5 grams of alkaloid content per fluid ounce and 5ml is a standard measure for this interesting extract." I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how much of this to ingest, or how accurately I will be able to measure a dropperful.

This will be my first pharmahuasca experience. I tried aya once but didn't detox, puked most of the time, and had only mild visuals. I have smoked spice something like 50 times. Usually I smoke about 30mg, sometimes closer to 40. I have only broken through once (on 20mg, strangely enough), and have never experienced "ego death". So I'm still scared of getting blown away and eaten by mantids or something. I want to be cautious, but still be open to learn something. I often get anxious before vaping spice, but then it's always great and I wonder why I was so scared. Never had a bad experience.

All this is to give some frame of reference in the hopes that a more experienced person can recommend dosages of both the caapi extract and the spice. I was planning on dissolving the measured amount in a shot of lemon juice.

Also, if this extract seems weird to work with, what is your preferred MAOI? I like the idea of something easy on the stomach

If your going to use an extract, I'd opt for Syrian rue x10, taken as a tea, which isn't at all bad when sweetned with honey. 10-20mins later the f.b. DMT disolved in hot lemon juice, ( just dump that into another sweet juice)
Hits the sweet spot with me at a ratio of 350-400mg rue extract and 65-75mg free base DMT. ( some folks might need more DMT)

Nice insightful trips of 2-3 hrs duration.


Happy travels.
