Quite cool, they've got loads of interesting recipes.

Quite awesome, thanks @Princess Arabia!

Thanks for the tip and references! It makes a lot of sense indeed. Since I live in Switzerland, I am not sure the isolated powders are legal here, I'll double check. But what I can easily do is buy some Syrian Rue seeds for boiling. A bit more cumbersome, have you had experience with this? Haha I've been to several ceremonies and I always go for the second shot. That said, it's hard to tell how much the facilitators there are putting. Usually here in Europe they acquire or store some form of paste, which is a reduced/concentrated form of the original brew. Then they dilute that into water to give to participants in the ceremony. The paste is stored on plastic containers for God knows how long so one can easily assume part of the active ingredients are degraded. That is another reason why I don't feel comfortable with these ceremonies anymore, I just feel the quality of the substance is bad. Makes sense. I think I just have had bad luck with this acquisition of the extract. I'll report back when I get to try Pharmahuasca with a different type/batch of MAOIs.

Thanks to great advice I've gotten in here To be clear, the guy who sold me told me that 15 drops would contain about 150 milligrams of each of the alkaloids. I should have asked about more details. What I've noticed today is that the weight of drop can be inconsistent. My calculation on the 375mg of harmine was to calculate a safe upper bound, since I was going to double the dose. My thought was: "ok, even if it contains 30% harmine by weight I'm still not way beyond uncharted territory". But it should be less, as you mentioned. Very cool study indeed. Considering that in ceremonies Ayahuasca is usually administered twice (sometimes even a third shot is offered), and in my experiences the second shot is usually smaller than the first, wouldn't it make sense to multiply the numbers by a bit more than 100 instead? Or in these 100ml are you already including the two shots? I was thinking of experimenting with this, indeed, thanks for mentioning. I have the impression that having at least some MAOIs at the same DMT drink may reduce the quantity of DMT broken in the stomach, despite people generally suggesting to take first the MAOIs and then DMT. I also wonder if splitting the dose in two could contribute to higher absorption of the second hit. Considering that Ayahuasca and Chakruna are traditionally brewed together (my guess), there is no way to, e.g., tweak the concentrations of MAOIs/DMT before first and second shots. So over time shamans realized that splitting it into two hits was the way to go.

Indeed! I managed to improve the dose today. I weighed 1250mg of my B. Caapi extract (double than yesterday). Assuming it contains 30% Harmine, this correponds to 375mg Harmine, which is about the typical Ayahuasca dose, according to a research study I saw (see below, Harmine dose was 7x that of DMT). Then I took 35mg DMT dissolved into white vinegar about 16 minutes later. I tested the shorter timespan between MAOI and DMT to see if my body could be processing the alkaloids too quickly. It seemed to work best, tho hard to tell if it was the MAOI dose that made the difference. The trip was emotional and slightly visual. Towards the end of my trip I boosted it by vaporizing about 8mg DMT (hard to measure accurately such low doses), which lead me to some profound insights onto myself and the people in my life. The onset of the vaporized DMT was indeed slower and the character of the trip different, as you described @What Am I. Next time I plan to try the same amount of the B. Caapi extract and boost the oral DMT dose to 70mg.

I've had amazing experiences with 25g of San Pedro powder (corresponding to an estimated 250mg mescaline) in two festivals this year. Mescaline is the best psychedelic for more extroverted purposes IME. The effects for me are very similar to MDMA, with less euphoria but still LOTS of love. The benefits over MDMA IMO are no need to redose (since mescaline lasts 12h+) and less likely neurotoxicity (at least it hasn't been found according to the literature AFAIK, but as we all know "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence", so proceed at your own risks). You may want to follow a protocol similar to MDMA to avoid toxicity, such as not mixing with caffeine, maybe taking Vitamin E and similar antioxidants, etc., if you want to be very strict about it).

Indeed, great idea and thanks again @What Am I. Btw, how long do your Vaporhuasca trips last if you take the MAOIs orally? Defo interesting, thanks for sharing. I might try it at some point, when the time for it arises. Have you been using SubQ for nn-DMT too? I would imagine that if someone gets a handle on oral ROA they'd have less incentives to go for SubQ. For 5-MeO-DMT that's a different story of course.

MAO is actually present in many bodily tissues, including the gut, liver, brain. It also serves to break down serotonin, and therefore, having mind-altering effects in itself (w/o accompanying DMT, but it also prevents DMT to be broken down in the brain). So its role in traditional Ayahuasca is greater than just allowing DMT to bypass the digestive tract. That said, there are indeed few reports of people using it rectally, as Leo said. I was also interested in this ROA to smooth-out my vaporized trips -- I feel the vapor ROA kinda shocks my system. What I am trying is doing the classic Pharmahuasca version: B. Caapi TPA extract followed by oral DMT mixed with fresh orange juice (for the freebase DMT to be neutralized into the water-solluble DMT citrate) 30 mins later. I am reporting my results here.

Reporting back, I tried Pharmahuasca orally today without success. I suspect the B. Caapi TPA is not as concentrated as I expected, or the DMT dose I used not enough (30mg mixed on orange juice) for my personal bioavailability. I will try again soon and report back, next time with more TPA drops (orally) and 50mg DMT (orally). I can tell it must be the MAOIs because I also tried vaporhuasca (few drops sublingually, then 15mg DMT vaporized), and the trip was almost the same in length as with pure DMT. The peak was quite intense, but my goal moving forward is to smooth it out via alternative ROAs (e.g., oral). Have people tried plugging n,n-DMT (after administration of MAOIs)?

After I completely cleaned my diet, I started experiencing discomfort when eating pasta. Another thing you notice, if you have a low sodium diet, is how dehydrated the body gets after eating heavy/processed foods (e.g., pizza). Let me share my banana-oats cookie recipe. It's super easy. I don't eat them much anymore cause I'm also avoiding cooking toxins, but it defo is way better than any ready-made alternative. Here you go: Video Recipe Pre-heat oven for 175C Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (paper manteiga) Two large, fully ripe bananas Mash the bananas until they’re like a baby food pure Add 1.5 cup (= 350ml) of oats Add 0.5 cup (=120ml) of chocolate chips Bake the cookies for 13-15 mins (or until they’re lightly golden on the edges) You should get about 15 cookies.

Cheers! You can frame it as time you get back to focus on more meaningful endeavors and connections. If you search you can easily find people who are non drinkers too.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I will definitely do the microplastics test if the price happens to be reasonable. As for cancer, I think a prevention-centered paradigm is more sustainable than a detection-centered one. Our society currently puts millions on developing these technologies but very little in incentivizing people to have better habits. Of course, having both prevention and detection available is better than a single one of them. Assuming cancer screening tools do not contribute significatively to future cancer risk.

For me Mescaline is very similar to MDMA, with a bit less euphoria. Personally, I try to avoid MDMA as much as possible due to its well-documented neurotoxicity. If you decide to do MDMA, do it the right way: properly test and weigh the substance. Use the protocol described in recent studies (IIRC, 80mg+40mg or 120mg+60mg, please verify this). Avoid caffeine and other substances that increase MDMA neurotoxicity. You should not take MDMA more than 50 times in your life according to what I heard a researcher saying. That said, who knows what other psychedelics do to our system and we're all doing them anyway.

Every time we deviate from our ancestral ways of living we take great risks. Great risk requires great rewards. If the rewards of getting the veneers are not clear or significant, carefully consider your decision. If the rewards are clear, significant, and durable, then you may go for it. There is no rush for such kinds of procedures, you can always do them in the future. Just sharing my consertivative approach to health.

@What Am I understood. I checked and citric acid is tribasic indeed. Thanks for the deep knowledge

What a great idea, thanks for the suggestion! Now I'm curious as to whether this could be used to convert 5-MeO-DMT freebase to 5-MeO-DMT citrate, for plugging. Has someone tried it? @What Am I, why the ratio of 1:0.35? DMT has a molar mass of 188 g/mol, and citric acid of 192 g/mol. So I would expect that a 1:1 net weight ratio would be optimal. Am I committing some chemical sin here?

Quite interesting. Thanks a lot. I will experiment with the different ROAs and report back. Btw, I have freebase DMT. I think I should convert it to DMT acetate with acetic acid before oral ingestion, for a more reliable absorption, correct? Otherwise, has anyone tried orally ingesting the freebase version directly? And, when converting, how long does it take to convert it to the salt form with white vinegar? PS: White vinegar is so easily available that it seems like a no-brainer to just use it for oral administration...

@What Am I, thanks again for sharing your experience. Some questions: I have some B. Caapi extract (which should contain about ~10mg of each of the most common β-carbolines per drop, namely Harmine, Harmaline, and THH), which I want to use to extend and eventually "smooth out" (by requiring less DMT) my freebase DMT trips. In this context, I am not particularly interested in replicating an Ayahuasca experience, but more in exploring the DMT realm in extended lengths of time. So, I assume (based on the messages just above this one) that using the sublingual ROA with <= 30mg of harmalas would maintain the DMTness of the trip. A few questions to you (or whoever knows the answer): If I want to do Vaporhuasca, how much DMT should I use? I'm afraid the B. Caapi extract will greatly potentialize the vaporized DMT experience and therefore I should be careful. I've had a short breakthrough on what I would consider 18mg of vaporized n,n-DMT, but the experience was so fast I could not property integrate it. Also, I've seen people recommending to wait 1 hour after taking the MAOIs. Any experience on how one could play with the "wait time"? Lastly, what made you switch from Vaporhuasca to Pharmahuasca, and what are the main subjective differences in the experience for you? Thx 🙏

I've dropped using toothpaste for several months now. Nothing happened to my teeth. My girlfriend sometimes complains I smell like garlic, but she hasn't left me. What do you know about the actual need to use toothpaste? I see it as something that emerged by a combination of the industry creating a product to make money and the freshness of breath it provides and people having the impression it makes your mouth "cleaner" (which is not necessarily the same as healthier). I'd like to know if you guys know something about this topic. I'm open to being proven wrong.

Haha really awesome! Every time I do 5meo, or most times I should say, I have this idea of sharing the experience with my parents. I never did it, though. I havent even told them that I use psychedelics.

Bryan Johnson sustains erections for as long as the titanic movie every night while sleeping.

Exactly. She's doing a disservice by comparing fruits to processed food and suggesting a "savory breakfast" with butter and other foods high in saturated fat. She misses that saturated fat increases insulin resistance (which is different than blood glucose). So when she suggests to add some cheese or butter to the sandwich, in the short term it might prevent the glucose peaks, but in the long run that will make the person's body less capable of regulating glucose. The actual solution is to stop eating shit, not to try to hack around it.

Saturated fat is worse than sugar (even for diabetes). That's a point she misses IMO.
