I finely ground 25g of chacruna. I put the leaf powder in a glass. I added 35ml of white rum (Bacardi, 40% alchol). I mixed it up well with a spoon. The quantity of rum was barely enough to moisten the leaf powder thoroughly. I left it to soak at room temperature for 8 hours.
I chewed and swallowed one 150mg tablet of moclobemide and washed it down with a bit of water (very bitter). One hour later I added 100ml purified water to the leaf powder paste, gave it a good stir and drank the lot.
The trip had plenty of ayahuasca character and was very therapeutic. I felt myself changing into a feline. I had some wonderful deep relaxation, feeling tensions being released in my body and soul. "Feline relaxation therapy", heh.
I will use this leaf preparation method from now on. I already made a few regular brews with this batch of leaf and tonight's trip was the strongest!
Next time I will use vine. Potent as the trip was, it lacked much of the magic and shine of true ayahuasca. My next trip using vine with this leaf prep method will surely knock my socks off!!!
Tonight I have proved to myself that this alcholic leaf prep method works brilliantly, and that vine is more than a simple maoi. I read speculations that tetrahydroharmine is a weak serotonin re-uptake inhibitor. Maybe that is what makes the difference. I don't want to totally knock moclobemide though. It gave me a super trip tonight. But vine has that extra magic something.......
