Ayahuasca - What Went Wrong?

[bmcnicho]

I tried to take ayahuasca at home using mimosa hostilis and harmine hcl.  It came on strong about 30 minutes later with some nice visuals and body feeling, but about 15 minutes later it began to fade a bit.  I waited another 15 minutes and was feeling surprisingly mentally sober.  I thought maybe I didn’t take enough of the harmine, but attempting to take more made me throw up immediately

At that point, I was feeling too nauseous to attempt taking more, and figured it might have not been the best night anyway.  I was basically sober at that point, with a bit of an altered body feeling and a bit more emotional

Does anyone know what went wrong? I’m thinking not enough maoi because there was definitely a large amount of dmt in there.  Also, is 1 hour in too soon to throw up? Does it take longer than that to fully absorb?

Thanks!

Update:

I think it was just resistance I was experiencing.  An hour later the effects came back and I ended up having a good experience

Mimosa hostilis and harmine are no Ayahuasca. Those are different plants than Chacruna (Psychotria viridis) and Ayahuasca (Banisteriopsis caapi).

@Batman Right, do you think it’s a different experience despite having the same active ingredients?  I chose mimosa hostilis because it’s more potent than chacruna and thus I would need to ingest less plant material.  And the harmine was extracted from syrian rue which is a common substitute for caapi

Yes, when you consume plants there are many other properties or molecules which are different between each plant. There is more in the plants other than DMT and MAOI alkaloids.
