Banisteriopsis caapi contains beta-carbolines which act as an MAO-inhibitor. This means that it stops certain chemicals from being broken down by the human brain, such as DMT in plants like mimosa hostilis, psychotria viridis and phalaris arundinacea and tryptamines in magic mushrooms.

Effects
Banisteriopsis caapi alone will not give any pleasant or interesting trip. But combined with mushrooms or DMT it will provide an intense and spiritual trip. Ourinhos vine is a very powerful strain that is used in most of the official ceremonies of the Santo Daime, Uniao do vegetal and Barquinha churches in Brazil. The Trueno variety brings on a particularly intense purge as well as other physical effects which are often very overwhelming.

Usage
The leaves of the plant which grows in South-America are never used; the active piece is the inside of the bark. There is no standard recipe for ayahuasca but 30 grams of B. caapi and 30 grams Psychotria viridis is a reasonable mixture.

Warning
Banisteriopsis Caapi is an MAO-inhibitor. When you combine it with certain psychoactive products or food, it can cause headache, sickness, or worse. It can even be deadly!
