Well what I have left over is about 100g of powdered yellow caapi to work with.. I am interested in microdosing caapi to find out if it has any beneficial effects for my general mood. I am also interested in experimenting with a caapi only tea to familiarize myself with the teacher. And from what I've gathered, 50g seems to be a "normal" dose.. However I plan on starting out with a 30g dose to be safe..

I am pretty clear on the preparation as far as I know. A 3x3 boil of the caapi and a final reduction of all 3 brews into a drinkable amount.. There seem to be mixed feelings on whether or not to include the sediment into the drink.. I for one dont care if some gets in there so i will try it regardless.. And since this is going to take a formidable amount of time I will most likely prepare all 100g and just use what I need as I go.. I dont plan on acidifying the water..

I tried entering "microdosing" in the search engine and read a lot of caapi threads but are still unclear on the microdosing amounts.. does anyone have any advice regarding dosage amount? i.e. daily, weekly, monthly?

There is quite a bit of information about microdosing Caapi on the ayahuasca forums.

eH

try 10g at first. you could take this much a day if it feels right to you. or more, or less...

Thanks house, I will go ahead and try 10g to start out.. and Emptyhand, thanks for the suggestion. I will browse around that sub-forum..

take care!

I think Emptyhand meant the Ayahuasca.com forums.

ohh I see now, thanks for clearing that up ragabr!

Has anyone had any effect from say putting a few grams or so of shredded wine into a cup and pouring boiling water over it like tea? I am trying to introduce myself to the caapi spirit gradually. Any advice on the best way of gettting to know this spirit?

First step for you is to do more research. Basic research will reveal that "pouring boiling water over it like tea" will not work.

That is my only advice.

I wouldn't bother doing that unless it was with caapi leaf

A much more efficient way to do it (with leaf or vine) that is much less wasteful is to do a full, big brew...and then just measure out and (and heat up if you want) the amount you want to take that day.
