It's been a while since my last post, but I'm in Indonesia at the moment and figured someone might be interested in my search. :\

So here's the set up:

A few weeks ago I arrived in Bali, Indonesia to teach English at a local private school. I'll be staying in Gianyar, about 20 minutes from the tourist location of Ubud and maybe 2 hours from Kuta, for 2 months before heading back to America to continue my education.

I'm moderately experienced in various psychedelics, specifically mescaline. Before I headed over here I was doing a lot of research on Ayahuasca. I've seen a couple of sites selling an 'ayahuasca plant' from Bali. The more i try to get more information, the more i'm convinced that they're just trying to make their products sound exotic.

Culturally, I don't think Indonesia has much of a history of psychoactive substances, though mushrooms are pretty popular for tourists (if you're willing to risk the possibility of a decade in prison). Regardless, I've seen bits of info every now and then claiming that Indonesia is home to an ayahuasca brew, and I'm determined to find it.

Everyone worthy of asking about the brew has pretty broken english, so the key words I've been using are 'dukun' (local 'shaman' type individual) and 'caapi' (abbreviation for banisteriopsis caapi). I figure dukuns should know what I'm talking about and caapi should lead me in the right direction

Yesterday I was talking to the man who was driving me to Kuta, and I brought up my search. His english was a little better, so I tried my best to explain the effects of the 'tea'. After a bit of contemplating, he explained that a friend of his was talking about some drink that made you see things 'like a dream'. "but while still awake, yes?" I coaxed. "Yes! like a dream, but still awake". I gave the man my number, and he says he will talk with his friend about the mysterious ayahuasca tea.

I know it's not going to be called ayahuasca here. I told my new friend that the tea (anything ayahuasca related) would be a brownish color and would taste bad.

I have my fingers crossed, and will update when I get any new info for my search.

If anyone has any experiences in Indonesia, please contribute. I really have no idea what MAOIs I should be looking for... and even if i did, what the local names would be.

I've got 2 months, wish me luck!
 
Indonesia does have a little bit of history concerning psychoactive mushrooms. There are cafes/restaurants selling magic mushrooms dishes all over the place. I can think of three near ubud. Panaeolus mushies man, they strong
 
Yes I live in Bali too. I have a friend who has partaken in an ayahuasca party in Ubud.

Personally wouldn't want to try it with half a dozen strangers though..

Click to expand...

hmm... well tomorrow i'm going to explore ubud for some of these cafes. Don't want to do anything if i'm not positive it's safe, though.

and yeah, i doubt i'll make it to any ayahuasca parties, haha!
 
Doubt you will find anything in Ubud, unless you know a local...

Did you get my PM Gnarbucks?

Lostinspace, are you Indonesian or a tourist? If a tourist, may I ask what nationality you are? Just curious...
 
best trip i ever had was in Bali, many years ago at some bar, we had shroom shakes and the visuals were amazing.
 
I've seen mushroom shakes advertised near a tourist location just out of Ubud. I also remember getting hassled by people in Kuta (for the short time I was there) trying to sell me pot. Nuh uh. Happy travels Gnarbucks
 
^^ Really? Just out of Ubud?? The only place Ive seen them blatantly advertised were walking through the 'mushroom' alleys in Kuta... other than that, I aways got mine from behind the bar in Seminyak (I was stayin in North Seminyak last time I visited)
 
Good luck finding your tea. You could maybe try asking on one of the ethnobotanical forums about the names of the psychoactive plants that grow in indonesia and then try and find the local words for them.
 
pisspot, you're fucking awesome. Great help! Very introspective, but not very visual. Might up the dosage on those later (i followed your advice).

It was pretty hilarious how many places were selling mushrooms in Kuta. You'd just see a psychedelic rectangle on a shop sign with the word 'mushrooms' and an arrow guiding you to your fungi.

I'll check out another specific forum, justsayknow, thanks. will update with info on my tea search unless there are more comments on the mushroom situation. I believe the common strain is p. cubensis?
 
Hmm.. don't know how long that post will last... but i've see those prices. Good to know about how much they're putting in the drinks.

I figure if i go into one of the little shops, buy a bag and consume in the bathroom, i should be safe.
 
Try jl Kuta Theater in Kuta by the big BCA bank. There are a whole row of shops selling the mushrooms there. And they deliver if required. Price "negotiable". Though I would still prefer the Ayahuasca..
