Oh my, what a massive dose you need.
Recently I took a pharmahuasca journey:
T+00:00 - Took 90mg of harmala alkaloids, extracted from rue in capsule together with water
T+00:40 - Took 90mg of DMT in capsule together with water
T+01:40 - Journey finally kicked in
T+02:00 - Peaking starts
T+02:30 - Comming down
T+03:40 - End of journey, only trace amounts left
This was my first journey with extracted harmala alkaloids. It took a real long time for the DMT to kick in and I even thought a failed harmala extraction was the cause. The relatively low dose of harmala was done by purpose to shorten the journey, also too much harmala gets me stuck in a loop way too often.
In retrospecs, the journey from entering hyperspace to landing was 2 hours, it took one hour and forty minutes before reaching hyperspace, a real long time I must say. Maybe this prolonged launch time was caused by me eating 2 hours before taking the harmala pil. I have to say that this prolonged launch time smoothed out the experience and while it was an intense ride it was also very much controllable.
