SWIM is planning on making an ayahuasca preparation using mimosa hostilis root bark and baanisteriopsis caapi. He plans on a doseage of around 50-60g b. caapi per dose and 12-20g of mhrb. He is aquiring whole peices of b. caapi vine and was wondering which color of b. caapi one would recommend for the most intense experience. He had also read on many recipes that whole mhrb pieces must be aquired and shredded immediately before preparation, is there a degradation of alkaloids factor that makes this truly a requisite or is it just as effective to obtain a pre-ground mhrb (the only option available to me at the moment)?
