hey guys, I've been researching the subject of pharmahuasca for about a week now in order to learn the basics and determine my personal recipe for it, and I have a few questions.
I was talking to someone who sent me a link regarding what not to eat 24 hours before the trip, and they also filled me in on fasting the day of (or only eating some fruits) so I think I have the diet bit down. I have written a whole bunch of information in my notebook regarding the diet, SSRIs, trip setting and mental state. I have also begun to try and figure out exactly what amounts of each ingredient I will need for a first time.
I plan to start with taking about 200mg of capsuled syrian rue extract, obtained from a local sacred herb shop. I'm assuming that the extract contains harmaline, correct? If it's actually harmine, I'll be taking 300mg.
After about 20 or so minutes after that, I will be taking around 60mg of DMT. I plan to mix the DMT freebase with a shot of lemon juice or cola and converting it to a salt first prior to ingestion. Once I have taken that, I will be eating a piece of bread that's either been buttered or dipped in olive oil. I was told that this may push the DMT through my liver and speed up metabolism.
And then I will lay down and wait for about 30-45 minutes, with a bucket nearby, just in case I feel nauseous. I'm hoping that I have the correct dose of the MAOI and DMT so that any nausea will be reduced. I was also told that converting the DMT to a salt will also help to reduce any sickness.
I guess what I want to know is if I am taking the right dose of rue extract and DMT for a beginner, and if I have the route of administration correct. Are there any other things I should be looking out for? Is my recipe correct? Any help is appreciated, I would like to make sure I am doing this correctly and as safely as possible, with as little side effects.
I think the only major part of dieting in regards to aya/pharma is drugs. Food is less important, and oftentimes the risks w/ combining harmala alkaoids with certain foods is greatly exaggerated. Just eat a basic diet the day you dose, without any drugs/metabolites in your system beforehand. Avoid meat, cheese, dairy, and foods that are harder to digest the day you dose. Things that feel healthy for you too eat has been a great tool for me. I fast 3-4 hours before pharma.
As far as how much harmalas, it depends on the purity of the extract. If its a yellow crystalline solid that dissolves almost completely in water to make a yellow semi-transparent solution, i'd say 200mg of rue extract is a good place to start. If its a red, brown, crude extract you may need more. Doing a manske on whatever you buy by dissolving it in hot vinegar water, filtering, and adding the same amount of water saturated with salt when hot will greatly clean up your extract and should precipitate crystals when cooled.
For the dmt, take it 20m after the rue, i would recommend 50mg freebase dissolved in a acidic liquid, or 75mg fumarate for a first excursion.
The best way to do it though imho, is to get some rue seeds, boil them w/ vinegar, filter and manske it (google for a tek). This will get you fairly pure harmala hcls that should be yellow crystals, and rue seeds are readily available, dirt cheap, contain ~5% alkaloids by weight, and you need vinegar and salt to extract them. You know the purity if you do it this way, and its easier to recommend a dose when you have pureish rue hcl alkaloids. Otherwise, start at 200mg w/ whatever rue extract you get if you buy some, and work your way up 50mg at a time. But extracts are a waste of money imho when you can get 5g of very pure harmala hcl's from 100g of rue, which costs like $10. Vinegar, salt, and effort are all you need to get a ton of pureish alkaloids that are easier to relate to dosage wise.
