How much TA = 300mg rootbark?

Anyone? I'd really like to start microdosing ASAP.

Hi Rhythm, I don't know if it is possible to tell how much of your TA would equal 300mgs of RB.. TA varies so much.  Is it homemade?  Is it PTA?  The quality of the bark it was made from would make a difference etc.  I would probably take .1 of the TA and see what that does or less.. If you want to take a bit more or less the next time then the decision is yours. Good Luck! roxine

It's IW TA from like, 2 years ago. I guess I just needed a good approximate starting point. I'll just experiment. Thanks!

Microdose.. I'd say around .1 per dose, .05 if you wanna be super cautious. But micro dosing never gave me, (personally, I know everyone is different), too much benefit. I'd take a day that you have free, all responsibilities done so no worries, and just take the .5 as a booster. Or .25, .3, whatever your knowledge leads you to believe will be the most beneficial. Possibly with an natural enhancer, wether supplements or other that is tried, and proven effective by the many knowledgable ppl here. Best wishes and may she treat you good! - Gb

^ Hahahaha, the other pill of .5 sent me into a 36-hour flood-like experience. Can you imagine flooding by accident? yeah. I can.

If it is 2 years old it may  have lost some of its potency... Have you kept it in a dark, cool place?  Airtight?  That would help keep its potency but it could still be a bit weaker. roxine

Guess I didn't think of your weight or bodies tolerance to it. Those were very rough numbers, just ones that work for me. .5 of IW TA is a good booster for myself but I've always needed/benefited off a higher dose healthily from my experiences. But yes I could imagine, sry that's most likely too high a booster for most. Do what you know works for you.

If IW it is PTA which is said to have 65% Ibogaine in it.  You can do the math, est. RB has approx. 5% Ibogaine.  So 1gr PTA =13gr RB.  If it was regular homemade TA people seem to get around 20-30gr TA out of 100gr RB.  It's very confusing and I'm not sure how the confusion was started but PTA is way different than TA.  Lemme' gather some source material for a thread on it.

I'll do my best^ Plans to compile the various threads and the original material from Chris Jenks.  I'll try to make it is easy as possible for people to make their own PTA.  Like from a beginner's perspective with no chemistry knowledge, which is where I came from in making it.  Grateful Dad translated Jenks original material to try and make it easier to me which I still had some troubles understanding.  I'll try to do my best to make all source material available as well as clear directions.  To me the PTA is the only guarantee outside of hcl, there are definitely issues that can happen with just regular vinegar TA and it doesn't always insure a thorough journey.  Basically the goal is after 2 hours the initiate should be in deep dream state, and with vinegar TA it doesn't always happen that way.  Therefore it's my personal practice to convert to the PTA method as much as possible, and not give so much to chance.  Of course with Root Bark it's even more complicated.  With Iboga already being so weird and variable I think it is prudent to make the end product more standard in potency.  Things can get so utterly tense if one needs to keep giving more medicine over the course of a night, with purging causing even more difficulties.  I think most of these issues can be avoided with PTA, and also it makes for a cathartic purge whereas it seems other forms of lesser extracted Iboga leads to a painful and confusing purge. PTA also insures better clear visions.  Dosage is easier to make exact.  This is my take on PTA vrs. TA at least.  I've had to change my mind several times over the past few years not understanding it and being ignorant.  I'd like to bring all that to the table and allow people to see how far we've come and the options that are available but maybe not easy to find without deep searching.

Awesome K - thanks for taking on what is certain to be quite the challenge. I have read some of those threads and there are so many variations, corrections and additions that my head started spinning - could have auditioned for the Exorcist....

I agree^ So true^ Of course you could just get the PTA from Iboga World or Cerberus but for us DIY'rs we have to figure it out no matter how hard.  I think either way it's better to figure it out as it really seems to help one feel empowered and a feeling of accomplishment.  It will take me a while to make it as simple as possible.  I'm one of those that has made it confusing over the years because I didn't know what I was talking about and what went on in the purification process and what made it so special for the experience.  I found one thread a while back where I muddled it by saying that I thought that the TA that I had had was similar in experience to the PTA from Iboga World, I was very wrong.  Digital Phreedom tried to be very nice in not correcting me but I kind of wish he would have hit me with the iron hammer.
