... the nausa is due to the harmine/harmaline not the DMT ...
This may not be absolute. My girlfriend has tried pharmahuasca now three times, and has been unable to elicit an experience. She doses with syrian rue, which lends a small amount of nausea but nothing too serious, waits an hour, doses with the DMT, and within ten minutes of the DMT hitting her gut the puking starts. Redosing with more DMT later brings on a new wave of nausea and puking. So, perhaps DMT also causes nausea, perhaps it is the combo, but my instincts tell me there are no absolute rules. Everyone reacts differently to such things.
It is interesting that the discussion moved from predominantly smoked DMT to oral DMT. I'm happy about it, because I think the oral DMT route is too often overlooked. Smoking is amazing in it's own right, but I 'liked' the oral route (I've done it once) because I found it to be far more engaging mentally. By engaging, I mean it was therapeutic, thought provoking, deep, introspective. Smoking has yielded some therapeutic effects for me no doubt, but nothing even close to the oral route. Oral DMT was the single most intense therapeutic trip I have ever had, far deeper than anything else, rivaled only by a 10g mushroom ++++ experience I once had. In fact, those two are the only ++++ I've had period.
My dose was 3 g ground rue seeds, swallowed raw, followed 45 minutes later by 50 mg DMT crystals. It rocked my world, tore my brain apart, scattered it all over the floor to look at and analyze, then put it all back together. Bloody intense, bloody difficult, and highly rewarding. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to understand the nature of DMT more fully. It is the sort of experience I would only take on once a year at most, and I wouldn't dream of doing it by myself. After it was over I thought I'd never waste my time smoking DMT again, which has turned out not to be the case. I do enjoy smoking now because it is a lower-level committment to revisit that space again, but it just demonstrates the level to which it effected me at the time.
I'd love to hear from someone else that has tried this combo. I can only find a handful of similar experiences online.
By the way,
Dose to peak about 2 hours.
Peak lasted about 1-1.5 hours.
Come down was rapid, about 15 minutes to a half hour.
