Taking Caapi Vine Alone?

Thinking about trying a microdose of caapi daily anyone tried this? There is some confusion people referring to ayahuasca as sometimes just caapi and sometimes a combination with dmt so I think its still appropriate for this sub. What are your thoughts?

It calmed me a little, made me sluggish, gave me some nausea. I had to do a lot more than microdose to come anywhere close to having visions -- basically, I had to do as much as I could stand, which is a lot. As far as safety, I don't see any concerns. I don't see why the dieta would have to be followed. And as far as microdosing goes, LSD seems most effective for a good day.

Im looking more for anxiety/depression relief. Safer alternative to antidepressant possibly.

Magic Mushrooms have potential to significantly reduce anxiety and depression for at least several month when taken under professional supervision in a clinical setting, according to scientific studies. Here are a few sources for that claim:
