Banisteriopsis Caapi - Caapi Vine Live Plants
Thousands of indigenous people of the region use Banisteriopsis Caapi Vine in sacred religious and healing ceremonies, as part of their traditional religions.
It is the main ingredient in Ayahuasca, a sacred medicine used for millennia in order to enter the sacred supernatural world for healing, divination, and worship. To prepare Ayahuasca, sections of Banisteriopsis Caapi vine were boiled with leaves from a number of potential admixture plants such as Psychotria viridis (Chacruna) or Diplopterys cabrerana (Chagropanga, Chaliponga) to make the Ayahuasca.
Here's a word-for word copy (minus most of the gramatical errors) of part of an e-mail exchange about these Ayahuasca plants. Pretty much says it all (change the channel if there are children in the room):
"A one foot vine with a huge, live root ball with 4 - 6 two-to-four-inch shoots coming out is in fact a nice plant to sell and receive. That in fact is a kicking-ass plant to receive. MUCH MUCH nicer that a 1 foot whimpy tendril attached to a little rootball. A one foot solid vine with a huge rootball and a several young tendrils kicks mother-fucking ass. You list em like I said and I'll edit it and add in the ass-kicking shit about how kick ass these fuckers are. These arent some wimp plants that have to be pussy footed with."
Our Live Banisteriopsis caapi plants are 6 to 10 inches, established, rooted vine sections with new leaf growth. These are rooted sections from our 10-year-old caapi plants grown in Hawaii.
