Drinking a lot of liquid?

[elru]

i am thinking right now and wondering if one of the reasons why pharma might be less reliable than aya might be the amount of liquid available for the harmalas/dmt to be dissolved in in your stomach. i havent taken pharma many times but i remember that the time that it worked for me has been when ive dissolved the harmalas in liquid, drank them, then drank another cup of liquid to get rid of the taste. when it hasnt has been the times that i think i have taken them in broken-open capsules without as much liquid because there wasnt a taste.

has anyone else noticed a correlation between how much liquid you drink when you take pharma and how well it works for you?

Now you mention it, my most intense journey was when I dissolved the alkaloids in a pint of water each and drank 30 minutes apart.

It may be the case. The harmalas for sure have got to cover everything that the dmt touches or else the dmt will get chewed up by mao. But who knows how these things might respond once they hit the stomach. I usually just take caps for pharma, but I have often wondered if I am hindering the effectiveness by taking caps. Maybe the small surface area of the liquid does not spread to the entire stomach/intestinal lining, thus lessening the effectiveness of the dmt? Or maybe once that cap pops, it spreads to the entire stomach quickly?
