A new and very exciting discovery has hit the entheogenic circles as of late. A group who actually has a face book site for ayahuasca ceremonies in Taiwan have discovered that the roots of acacia confusa are actually a very highly active DMT source. K. Trout had pointed this out in his books, but no bioassays where really available on this particular plant until now.
Acacia confusa root can not only be worked with in conjunction with syrian rue or caapi, but it can be used alone as hase been discovered recently on the DMT nexus forum by a brave explorer.
The brave psychonaught reportedly drank 5 table spoons of root made into a light tea by itself, no betacarbolines added. He was then thrust into a very difficult and high dosage DMT journey. The roots of the plant are active and very powerful. Acacia confusa has one of the highest yeilds of DMT discovered in nature. That it is active with out the addition of a harmala alkaliod is amazing, and reminiciant of reports of cold water extracted Jurema or mimosa hostilus root bark, which has been a real hit or miss in bioassays.
There are also reports that Confusa may have a traditional history of use as an entheogen by the original peoples of Taiwan. Today it is currently used in chinese medicine with whispers that the old herbalists know that it can take one to another world.
The organization in taiwan that leads ceremonies wrote a nice report on an acacia confusa ayahuasca analog recipe. According to reports the recipe utilized stem bark in the brew instead of root bark. the stem bark being much weeker in content.

Today it is currently used
Today it is currently used in chinese medicine with whispers that the old herbalists know that it can take one to another world. Haha, I can imagine the whispers, the secret experimentation, that's great. Thanks for the info. I often wonder how many original cultures used entheogens, so this is another addition to the list.

The whole mimosa/acacia genus of over 1300 species is a pharmacopia of tryptamines and other psychoactives, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia
The acacias are most widely distributed in austalia where the aboriginals best know there medicinal-shamanic uses. They are also absolutely abundent thoughout central america and even into parts of the states. Many acacia types have concentrated medicine in the roots, such as this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia_farnesiana
but also concentrate in fruit, thorns, leaves and other parts of the plants.
acacia gum resin is really... good
