Banisteriopsis caapi plant extracts are mildly hallucinogenic. However, when combined with plant parts containing the hallucinogenic compound N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), B. caapi can produce strong psychoactive effects. In the hallucinogenic drink ayahuasca, B. caapi stem and bark are boiled along with the DMT-containing leaves of the plants chacruna (Psychotria viridis) or chagraponga (Diplopterys cabrerana).
