Passion flower

[Party_Animal]

I heard that passion flower has and MAOI in it.
Harmine/Harmala?? How much? Do you think drinking a couple cups of passion flower then eating some mushrooms would enhance the trip noticeably?

you would prolly need an ounce or more simmered w/VitC or lemon juice to get noticable MAOi effects...
info on relative strengths of syrian rue, caapi, & passionflower in gracie & zarkov's article (at erowid or lycaeum?)

Alkaloid content of passionflower seems to low to be of much use, far as it's MAOI potential.
Syrian rue seems unbeatable for harmine/harmaline.
As far as other alternatives....yohimbine is a MAOI, albeit an irreverisible one whereas harmine/harmaline are reversible, anyone tried yohimbine as a shroom potentiator?

i have read that mescaline is contraindicated with maois, and i also think i may have read that shrooms are. its very important to know whether or not they are.
in my experience, some sources say that passion flower is and maoi and others say that it isn't. you can get a nice effect from the extract if you smoke it, even though apparently maois are distroyed under intense heat. extracts of passion flower and scullcap make a great smoke and one that i would like to try with shrooms.

passion flower is a somewhat interesting substance even on its own -- it makes a wonderful antidepressant for me, personally and subjectively.
it has also shown definite potentiation of both LSD and mushrooms for me. However, I wasn't always sure that the stronger effects were actually more desirable than those of the psychedelics or passionflower alone....I found it seemed to make the trip a little more sinister. However I suspect that may just have been my personal set/setting at those points.
Anyhow, don't write passion flower off. I think it does have some potential in high doses for significant potentiation of effects of tryptamine psychedelics (combination with mescaline ought not to be a problem as mescaline and syrian rue have seen fairly significant use, and rue is a far stronger MAOI).
