Mushrooms & Passion Flower

[wooger]

Hello

So I was considering taking some mushrooms some point this week, but the thing is, I have been taking this crappy herbal sleeping aid for about a week, and it contains passion flower and I noticed that it is a MAOI (I'm guessing the dosage is pretty low)

so yes, would this have any effect on the mushrooms? I'm no longer taking the crappy herbal stuff so if there is an issue how long should I wait for??

thanks

No, I doubt it will do anything, how much do you plan on taking?

Passionflower is pretty useless at maoi inhibition just so you know.

i got past the maoi ignition point with passion flower once...i think we made a tea of an oz or so, split it into two cups...drank it while we blended a mushroom smoothie, 7 gs for 2 people. we took the bottom few drinks of our passion flower and added it to the smoothie and let our little psilohuasca brew mix together for a few while we smoked a joint of passion flower. we then drank the eighth of mushrooms apiece with the rest of the passion flower tea....and just to make sure we reached the saturation point for the maois, we smoked another joint of the passion flower...

the trip was so different from other mushroom trips, and in certain ways more-so resembles aya experiences. i have exp with syrian rue/mushroom combo, so i can differentiate the psilohuasca experience vs the straight mushroom experience and that passion flower night was definitely psilohuasca.

just my 2 cents of exp

Ive used herbal sleep aids before (with passion flower, though not excusive) and have noticed no difference or effect on the mushroom trip. Ive not however taken the aid for very long (I use it very rarely, maybe 1/month) and never tried to take more than recommended for sleeping...

yeah, passionflower is a weak MAOI as the whole plant, however, i think extracts can have stronger MAOI inhibition abilities. Usually sleeping pills don't have high enough of a dose to cause any MAOI interactions.

Nevertheless, passionflower is a nice herb by itself in my opinion and if you enjoy it, mixing it with mushrooms shouldn't be a problem.
