I searched old Entheogen Review Articles for Phalaris Brachystachys. I found a few positive reports. One report speculating that his rue/pb effect may have been related to 5-meo despite an alkaloid test showing results identical to psychotria viridis. I also found this report which would seem to be cause to proceed with caution: "Phalaris Brachystachys EH, of MA made an ayahuasca brew using 30 gm of fresh P. brachystachys (grown from JLF seeds) and 5 gm Peganum Harmala seeds. It came on within two hours and was pleasant for about an hour, but soon became extremely intense, with continuous diarrhea and vomiting, left side of body numb, racing thoughts, anxiety, etc. This went on for 36 hours! After coming down, some pleasant visuals returned to cycle in and out over a period of two days: "It even woke me out of sound sleep with strong sounds of weird things. I've never experienced this before, never wish to again. Either I'm very sensitive or this strain was kick ass." Effects for three and a half days sounds like something else beyond the Phalaris brachystachys or rue has found it's way into the equation. This report sure as hell isn't gonna stop swims from investigating further.
