harmala chew

[Mimosaquero]

greetings fellow travelers, im mimosaquero and the other day i decided to try something a bit non conventional in terms of how most modern users would consume the vine/harmalas. i got this idea from a shaman awhile back and decided to start doing it on my own. its ayahuasca chew where i finely shred the vine into tiny pieces and chew on it to let the vine absorb through my mucas membrane instead of my gut. havent tried it with syrian rue but my brother has and says it works really well, im wondering if anyone else has tried this method would love to hear about your teks/recipes because chew and snuff is something thats used very often in the jungle.

hey hey. im all in for chewing almost everything plant based. it was my first ROA with rue and I since stick to it for my almost daily routine.

In my personal expirience, If alkaloids a concentrated enough, chewing raw plant material always gives the fullest spectrum of effects with a quick onset,

For me with rue its 1,5g for 5-10 mins. I keep it in my mouth, swallow it after. I like to get a sense of the Plant Spirit and higher qualitys of the plant via the taste even when the flavor can be precieved as highly questionable. Its part of the fun.

Sometimes there are tiny stones in my rue, thats something you may watch out for.

have not tried it with caapi, looking foward to it.

Yes, can attest to do that as well.

Chewing and swallowing rue is the most effective/efficient way of taking in it's medicine and spirit. But, I find it's not doable often because it opens me too much to the energetic dimension, and also leaves me in a shaky energy. The experience can get scary at high doses, gets serious and deep easily.

thanks for the warning, because i did not went extremely high yet. Also it seems that I might be some kind of superresponder. Felt a view seeds directly and with 2g i had a very hard time walking strait in the beginning.
But maybe its just the chewing of HQ seeds.

Well the sublingual route should be much more effective than the oral (eating/drinking) one. The MAO enzymes are concentrated in the gut and your harmala dose should be sufficient to inhibit the gut MAO and any other MOA along the way to the brain. 4 g is usually needed for full MAO inhibitions. Sublingually, the harmalas have a short path to the brain and encounter much less MAO enzymes, so the dose is delivered to the brain more effectivly. 1g of good quality rue (~ 50 mg harmala freebase alkaloids) sublingual would be a decent dose already, even if only half absorbed.

if i were to chew on rue seeds and drink mimosa afterwards how would you advise me do it? will i need 3-4g or will i need less and how long afterwards? iive been grinding up my rue seeds in either caps or orange juice for the past few years before my mimosa doses and curious about this route.

For oral dmt to work effectively you would need to swallow the rue otherwise the MAO in the stomach would neutralize the dmt. But if you take the rue and mimosa as you usually do, and then chew more rue during the trip (or on mushrooms for example) that should produce interesting results. Would be nice if you try it next time and let us know how it goes.

I personally don't like to take ground rue, it surely works but I find tea or extract to be more reliable and easier on the digestive system. How long do you wait after taking the ground seeds before taking the mimosa and is it a mimosa tea?

usually 45 mins sometimes an hour, but the mimosa lasts 4 hours max so im thinking taking the rue normally then during the peak or lil bit afterwards chew on 1g to enhance the inhibition. i know rue has lil to no THH which is why its shorter lived compared to caapi.

Yeah that sounds like a good plan, I expect that chewing the rue during the trip will extend it. And beyond the harmala effect, the bitter taste might modulate the experience and stir it in an interesting direction.
