hello
just putting my 2 cents in.
did a zinc reduction of half a jar of harmalas, separated into two jars and did the same procedure of acid base and salt precipitation with the one variable being the zinc powder.
the resulting "thh" was significantly more yellow than the norm, i then took two seperate 10mg allergy tests, one just because, and a second one to check if a problem with watery stool was caused by it.
then took 200mg.
no perceptual distortion, no locomotive impairment, improvement on spelling ability, some light nausea that passed without incident, a little bit of shaking of vision left and right at one point and late cev of simple patterns.
this stuff is very calming but not sedative, it would be an excellent antidepressant in the right dose given that it neither numbs you nor acts like happy pills, it does cloud your mind a bit though (probably caused by build up of other hormones because they are not being broken down) and it does have a hangover at that 200mg.
all said the main thing is this counteracts the normal pacing around caused by pure harmalas, a combination dose between thh, harmine and harmaline in the correct proportions would probably provide an excellent inhibitor combine the effectiveness of the the latter two with the calm of the first.
all said once that ratio is found cappi effectively becomes redundant and with pharma you should in theory be able to have the same experience profile as if you drank the tea.
also side note, we need to make a thread about post harmalas hangover recovery tips, head still feel a bit heavy, but that said even after 12 hours the calming effect seems to be maintained a bit.
very fascinating stuff, thank you for making this thread and helping me through this endlessness.
and thank you everyone for reading all the way down to here, hope you all have a great day, even if it is months from now that your reading this.

waited to add one next day note.
if anyone knows the half-life of thh this would be very useful information, the effects in a more subtle form persisted for more than a day after, though it might have be placebo, with the calm like effect being retained well past noon the next day and a sensation of "mushroomness" to the heaviness of the head (a thinning of the weigh in lower parts of the brain with the heaviness still being retained near the top)
this effect i have not experience before and it makes me wonder what, if this is not an maoi, it is actually doing because (and im just speculating here) i highly doubt that the half life is more than 8 hours and there has to be a hormone that is either being elevated or depressed which is taking much longer to return to normal levels than the "inhibition" ceasing should take to break down.
what ever is happening, presuming that its effects are reversible a single 200mg dose will put you in this calm/attentive but heavy-headed state for more than a day, a great deal longer than its sister compounds are active.
if the only side effect profile is this heaviness then i think this stuff could be very useful, but how exactly i dont know since i do know what it is doing chemically.
also on the uv subject, the thh and the harmalas it was converted glow at different colours when put under a uvlamp, the thh on its own is more yellow then what it was converted from in standard light and in turn is more yellow/bluish under the uv light compared to the green of the original, somewhere between harmala green and quinine blue. please forgive the crude explanation i don't have any was to really examine it except by just looking at it.
thank you.
