I changed my mind, took 60mg of AMT.Lovely
4.5 Pharmahuasca
Pharmahuasca (Pharma) is a pharmaceutical version of the entheogenic brew Ayahuasca. Instead of using plant material, extracted Harmalas and DMT is used. The advantage is that extracted Alkaloids enable to accurately dose the Harmalas and DMT levels. Each traditional brew can have different strengths due to batch variations and cooking quality differences. Pharma is therefor great for accurate dosing and experimentation. The down side is that it takes know-how of how to extract. Luckily Nexus is here to help with plenty of extraction teks.
Harmalas preparation
Harmalas needs to be extracted from plants. There are numerous teks on how to do this. Caapi contains +-2% Harmalas, so from 10g of Vine you can extract +-200mg of Harmalas. Rue contains +-5% Harmalas, so from 5g of Rue you can extract +-200mg of Harmalas. Harmalas can also be taken as a pure isolated form of Harmine or Harmaline. Most online vendors sell Syrian Rue Harmalas extract (around 50/50 Harmine/Harmaline). Harmalas Freebase is not water soluble while Harmalas HCL is. Both can be used for pharma. HCL is said to be more suitable for long term storage.
Harmalas dosage
Usually a dose of one of the following is taken: 200mg of extracted Caapi /Rue full spectrum Alkaloids; 100-150 mg Harmaline; 150-250 mg Harmine. Any of these can be combined with 150-250 mg Tetrahydroharmine. As a rough guide, 100-150mg of Harmalas will be sufficient for most people. 200mg is considered a strong dose. Some people need doses up to 400mg. Preferably one should aim for a threshold dose. Everyone is different so you must experiment to find your own optimum dose. Take you time and increase slowly. Keep in mind that high Harmalas dosages can lead to nausea and stomach cramps. Vomiting is normal and considered therapeutic in Ayahuasca ceremonies. But too high a dose of extracted Harmalas can make you extremely sick.
If Caapi contains +-2% Harmalas, 50g of Vine contains +-1000mg of Harmalas. Meaning, one dose of Caapi brew contains 5 doses of Pharmauasca! How can this be? The alkaloid content of Caapi varies so much that it’s impossible to say what’s going on. Some speculate that Caapi brew has something in it that slows or regulates the absorption of Harmalas. People also report that the duration of Pharmahuasca is shorter than traditional plant brew. Only lasted for ~4 hours instead of 8+.
Harmalas effect
Harmaline is about twice as strong as Harmine. It's more sedative while Harmine is more stimulating. Some people like the sedative effects of Harmaline and find that it helps to make a more relaxed dreamy experience. Most people however prefer the stimulating effects of Harmine. They find it makes a more clear headed experience. Most people who do use Harmaline combine it with Harmine.
Tetrahydroharmine (THH) is reported to be too weak an RIMA and does not orally activate DMT. Purposively some sellers sell a mixture of THH/Harmine labeled as pure THH. Combining THH and Harmine / Harmaline results in a clearer, more focused, vivid, enhanced, controlled experience compared to Harmine / Harmaline on its own. THH is not available in all countries.
DMT preparation
DMT needs to be extracted from plants. There are numerous teks on how to do this. For Pharma it's best to use DMT Fumarate. In order for DMT freebase to become active orally, it needs to be converted to a salt. Your stomach will do it, but most people report that it's extremely uncomfortable. Better is to chemically change it prior to intake. This can easily be done by dissolving the freebase DMT in vinegar (DMT-acetate), orange juice / lemon juice (DMT-citrate), or Coca-Cola (DMT-phosphate). Most people dissolve it in orange juice, but Coca-Cola is also excellent because DMT phosphate is one of the most potent forms of oral DMT. If you use a DMT-fumarate tek, you end up with a salt straight away and don't need to convert it. DMT-fumerate is the only DMT salt in solid form. The rest are all oily making it hard to dose and handle. However if you add DMT to an acidic liquid, you just drink the liquid (the DMT-salt is dissolved inside).
DMT dosage
Oddly enough the dose of DMT in Pharmahuasca needs to be higher than that in Caapi brew. As opposed to Harmalas for which the opposite applies. Maybe this is due to a more diverse presence of Alkaloids from the Harmalas & DMT plants. These probably have an additional effects compared to the isolated alkaloids in Pharma. Oral DMT dosages vary extremely from person to person. Some people are overwhelmed with as little as 30-40mg. Others need 200mg+ before any effects are felt (no matter what type or how much Harmalas is ingested). Strangely there is no correlation between body mass or sensitivity to smoking DMT and using other psychedelics. In general: Low: 20-50mg, mid: 50-100mg, strong: 100-150mg. Keep in mind that a high dose of DMT can be an overwhelming experience. Start low and build up slowly. Additional dosages can easily be taken. Take your time to finding the right dose.
I didn't plan on using it daily, but they make you feel pretty damn good. I was buying 5g at a time at the end and doing it constantly, and eventually thought the government could hear my thoughts, the police were gonna shoot me if I stepped out the house, my housemate had hacked my wifi, people were plotting against me, there were cameras all over my house etc
Not fun. Benzos calm you down but they don't help with the delusions. Sobriety did.
It depends IME. My wife and I will use psilacetin at 10mg as couples therapy, homebrew style lol. Most of the time it does wonders for us, but only if we're not right in the middle of something bad/a spat/etc. Set and setting right?First instinct when we calmed down was let's dose something and I weighed up some 2c-t-2 but then we started talking and it feels like we would just be running away from the situation. It feels so much easier to solve emotional problems when under the influence but am I really solving them or just running away?
Give negrogesic his Oscar already!On significant daily doses of benzos I engaged in charlatanism of the highest degree. Without self-incriminating, very analogous to the film "catch me if you can", it was bizarre. Of course I knew what I was purporting was not true but I played the roles with the kind of a conviction an actor does when they dedicate themselves to the role with a sort of pathological fervor that challenges their own boundaries of self. Very interesting times, no harm came of it fortunately. Benzos cut the brake cables for me, and per the topic at hand, feed into delusions or even facilitate them. I should write a book on my misadventures on benzos.
