lsd + harmalas?

[kingpin106]

Planning to take around 200mg of harmalas then vape some dmt and after that maybe have a tab or 2. Now will the harmalas potentiate the lsd or should I take my regular dose of cardboard?

Be careful. I have flipped my lid after smoking changa made with Syrian Rue whilst on LSD and had some majorly head fucked trips. I even ran into trouble once when I mixed caapi (a much weaker MAOI than rue) leaf 50/50 with weed (I ran out of tobacco to spin) while tripping on a couple of drops of liquid in 2009. It made me lose my shit within minutes of smoking 1 cone. I was well into the trip and very comfortable before I smoked the MAOI so I'm blaming the caapi mix all the way...

I have noticed that some people seem to be more sensitive to MAOI's than others and don't forget that certain foods will also potentiate the effect of the MAOI. Harmaline is quite a strong MAOI and is the worst for side effects IME...

That said, I have had plenty of changa made with smaller amounts of caapi while tripping and noticed no potentiation after the DMT wore off.

I also have a couple of friends that seem to get no potentiation from harmaline and they have mixed it with countless psychs, on many occasions, without coming to any grief.

I couldn't count the amount of times I have looked after trippers that have lost it after mixing harmaline (extracted from rue) with LSD or even just smoking rue when used to potentiate a changa blend.

I personally would only take it (harmaline) for pharmahuasca now days and only after being on a strict diet for a few days before the trip. I learned my lesson the hard way and maybe you will too.

All the best

Thanks for the very informative reply Psilo. But I too decided that it wasn't the best option to combine the above tomorrow night but leave the harmalas to another time with the dmt. I certain that a couple of tabs + some dmt sometime along the trip will do. No need to overcook things.

Thansk again
