harmaloid purity

[Espiridion]

...


Well, I guess it'll be Adam's catalyst, sodium borohydride and a pad of argon then. Expensive but reusable. Caapi is too expensive to used as frequently as I'd like, and with a bundle of unwanted harmaline....the choice seems clear. It'll be awhile before I amass the necessaries but it will happen. Thank the universe for Sasha Shulgin, may he rest in peace.

A little off topic, have experience with THH from back in the day, and over the years have learned that the combination of harmine and THH in equal ratios (for example 190mg harmine + 190mg THH) is an unbeatable combination. They work together in harmony for the best experience possible. Just my 2 cents. Isolated THH has nothing imho on the combination of the two in equal proportions.

This study by Callaway (see page 2 and page 3) shows this nature (with a little bit of help from woman or man) derived 1:1 ratio of harmine to THH is found quite often in advanced brewing by the UDV, Santo Daime and even Shuar Indians:

In the chart on page 2, just multiply the 1.83 for harmine or THH or other example figures by 100 to get the actual mg amount in the brew.

See page 208 of "The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, Indole and Carbazole Systems"
By W. C. Sumpter, F. M. Miller":

Heterocyclic Compounds with Indole and Carbazole Systems, Volume 8

The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, since its inception, has been recognized as a cornerstone of heterocyclic chemistry. Each volume attempts to discuss all aspects – properties, synthesis, reactions, physiological and industrial significance – of a specific ring system. To keep the series...

A good dose of THH ranges from 150mg to 225mg and a good dose of harmine ranges from 150mg to 225mg. The two in combo is a perfect experience imho.
