Evening Glory said:Such a potentiation is really incredible, are you sure it is correct? It does contain thujone among other substances, and thujone acts on GABA and 5HT-3 receptors. It could be that the thujone is potentiating the DMT through it's action on serotonin receptors, and/or perhaps through inhibition of a CYP 450 enzyme. This is really interesting!

SWIM is not sure that that really is a concern. In the amazon tribal people celebrate with entheogens as well as alcohol all at the same time... There was one ethnobotnaist reporting that vilca snuff, ayahausca vine and peach palm chicha was all being consumed with no moderation in a festival setting... if you do not have a problem being centered while under the influence of alcohol then it probably woul dnot be a problem... if you where slammed drunk though... yah... probably not a good idea... we have so many moral judgments placed on alcohol... that are mostly cultural and not universal. Alcohol can be a nice way to ease into smoking changa with a lessened anxiety and in a celebratory intention. alcohol itself can open the heart in amazing ways... intention changes everything... everything...

ye, what I meant to say is, it is hard to judge when you should not smoke after consuming alcohol, 1,2,3 beers? Where does one draw the line. Some people feel the effects after just one beer or glass of wine.
I do know that I tried smoking one night after some celebrations, "itl all be ok I said". I took one draw of my VG and I imediately felt bad, no way was I going to clear the dose. It really struck me that I should not have done this.
I feel that the intoxicating effects that alcohol give are no way to go into a journey.
Each to their own. And ye, dont smoke it slammed drunk
Aegle said:I have noticed that others who drink before hand when smoking spice have very mild journeys and very little if any experience during the journey. It depends how much you drink I guess, I dont gain any knowledge from alcohol hence why I dont drink. I personally feel alcohol and entheogens should not be taken together. :b
Much Peace and Understanding
