So SWIM has some caapi that he wants to use to make a tincture from and then to evaporate onto some caapi leaf to use as a smokin admixture, either on its own or with some spice. The question he is posing is, would 95% grain alcohol be sufficient for this or does he need 99%ipa or acetone.? He has both grain alochol and acetone, but has more of the grain alcohol so is wondering if this is ok? You have to go within or you go without

im sure its good.. the 5% being water, and harmalas of caapi being soluble in water, cant see why it would be a problem  the only thing is the last bit might take a while longer to evap, but thats it and grain alcohol being food-safe, i would indeed go for that instead

If IPA works, that would be the easiest and cheapest.

So is it as easy as just covering your vine in the alcohol in a jar and leaving for a week? You have to go within or you go without

well i wasnt gonna do an extraction per se, i was just gonna evap onto some caapi leaf. That should do the trick right. You have to go within or you go without

That should do the trick right. it very well could i cant say for sure myself iv never tried it.. it stands to reason if you can smoke the plant with effect you should be able to smoke the alcohol extract... its just my thinking that itd be better to freebase it in some way, because thats the only way iv ever smoked harmalas and the results were fantastic... in any case let us know what you end up doing "once youve locked yourself into a serious drug collection the tendency is to push it as far as you can..." - hunter s. thompson

Ok, well i just put 100g of powdered/shredded caapi in a jar, along with about 10g of finely crushed caapi leaves. I then poured in 1/3 acetone, with the rest being grain alcohol, until all the material was covered. I shall report back in a week or so with results!! You have to go within or you go without
