Hello everyone. Glad to now be a member of these forums. I wasn't sure where else to post this, but I figured here is a good place. Sorry if this discussion has appeared before, but it may be something that comes up once in a while.
There is what I thought may be a psychotria viridis plant that may actually be either alba or carthagenensis, due to the leaves not going all the way to the center.
If alba were truly inactive or non-visionary, why are there all these posts on various forums talking about how to grow psychotria alba? I recall also reading a conversation on an ayahuasca forum that a user named Ringworm says alba can be an experience as if it had DMT, and another person in the conversation also said the alba effect can be more if they are eaten rather than boiled. Perhaps the amount of DMT is low and only appears when a lot of alba leaves are used?
http://forums.ayahuasca....7&hilit=alba#p286027http://forums.ayahuasca....=36280&p=267237&A few times, I found that eating one of the alba leaves off this specific plant alongside a gram of syrian rue and passionflower was able to give some mild visionary effects, mostly while lying down and calming mind and closing eyes. (ex. mild visuals of magical characters, colorful shapes, and blue futuristic honeycomb pattern seeming to come out into my mind from movie I was watching).
I wonder if the alba leaves would show DMT if it whoever did the test on this forum tested in a different way with different samples? Perhaps all nine samples tested in that study just didn't detect it right, or it was too little to detect at that time?
