The notes on harmine being more acicular whereas harmaline forms blades is completely accurate. The numbing quality akin to cocaine is something I've never seen another human mention, it's fascinating to think it isn't jut me and the only other person I know who's talked to me about insufflating harmalas. The somewhat "dirty" feeling of rue may relate to the non-traditional harmala alkaloids I would suspect, I'm not sure.Harmine, harmaline are different.
Both, observably in their physical characteristics as well as experientially.
Sufficiently pure harmine is stimulating.
Sufficiently pure harmaline is sedating.
Sufficiently pure THH causes “tracers” and “color enhancement”
Sufficiently high enough doses of any of them cause “tracers” and “color enhancement”
Too much is disorienting, muddy in the eyes - annoying.
I prefer subuccal administration of harmaloids, I prefer harmine over harmaline.
I have taken harmine (subuccal r.o.a.) @ 50-75mg daily for periods of up to 3 months and over a period of about 4 years with no anecdotal perturbance. Less and I wanted more, more and I wanted less.
I have glowed head to toe and seen all of my fluids fluoresce for weeks on end.
I found that eventually my body just didn’t want it any more, and after about two weeks it was entirely sweat out of my system.
Rue seeds contain vascicine, vascicinone, harmine, harmaline, harmane, norharmane, harmol, harmalol etc etc etc.
Some of those compounds are no fun in their isolated form, but together as an entourage there are other adjacent compounds that work “together” or to counteract one another.
I do not prefer any of the red / neon yellow / green fluorescent compounds. I prefer the aqua / sky blue colored ones (harmine, thh - respectively)
Harmine is more acicular, harmaline is more blade-like.
They have analgesic effect on mucous membranes, in that way there is a similar physiological sensation in the face to cocaine.
The florescence of daily administration of harmalas snuck up on me when I was 22-23, pissing in a night club to ABSOLUTE alarm, suspecting a severe viatmin imbalance due to some past problems. I've used harmine, harmine and harmaline daily in different periods, often falling back on B. Caapi tea when I was not coadministering serotonergics, I tripped a fucking LOT over this period of my life. Tripping on just harmalas is quite an experience, but in low doses and especially when taken regularly, it's not exactly the same as a microdose, it's something more profouind, more "religious" or "spiritual" feeling if that makes sense. The impact it has on senses and physical capacities also should not be overlooked. I was capable of dramatically more as far as calishtenics, cardio, I was suddenly doing shit at the skatepark as if I'd been skating for years longer than I had. The speed I ran with during a pursuit with somebody in the street while on ayahuasca is probably faster than I ever have ran, or will ever run again. I really prefer harmaline > tetrahydroharmine > harmine, harmine's a bit rough on the body for me whereas harmaline is a beautiful middle ground of that and THH's more cognitive sort of feeling.
I didn't cease harmala administration for 8 months daily, the months before and after that period being 3-5/7 days for sure. Psilocybin and LSD were also administered alongside a series of adjuncts. It took about ten months in total until harmalas' lessons had been fully learned, for me, for then.
