SWIM's interested in using a more concentrated form of caapi leaves for a mild buzz/anti-depressant to low mao inhibition. He's read enhanced leaves are good for changa (and probably a tea), but SWIM wanted to consider tincture making with his leaves as well as it might be a more simple processm, not require smoking (more of an ease thing), and might just as effective to spike changa (not sure how that'd work) or just add to water.
Has any SWIYs ever made a tincture from caapi leaves? Is it worth it vs enhancing the leaves, or are there any tincture making directions any SWIY's can recommend?

Making a tincture is simple simple simple...
take the qunatity of leaf you want to be the base of your tincture and just soak in ethanol for a month in a cool dark place. Viola.
one thing though is that SWIM has heard that the leaf can really give a nasty purge. No real confirmation of this though. So one thing you could do is use brandy and make it a tincture that is sublingual. dont swallow it in other words.

Thanks for the tips . SWIM might have to experiment with both.
