Thanks for the welcome, been busy, but I've got time now to participate more.

Pharma dosage for me is syrian rue tea (4 grams three hours before the journey, 6 grams 20 minutes before lift off) and somewhere between 200-240 milligrams DMT.

I tried extracting caapi once and failed pretty badly. I've been lazy and now buy 10x syrian rue extract online and add that to my changa (which is all I smoke, no plain freebase for this explorer) .

I have not done a traditional aya mix. Pharma is all, with both caapi tea and rue tea. I've stuck with rue since it's so cheap and effective as opposed to caapi, which I've found a bit pricey and hit-or-miss potency wise. Though I do absolutely love the vine, and will explore more when funds are more fluid for me.

Now, for the most important change DMT has helped me with, I would say that would be quitting drinking. I drank every single day for years. When I got my first batch of root bark in the mail (oh happy day!) I put down the bottle for good and devoted my attentions to personal growth. And quitting drinking has helped me with the real focus of my life, which is that of the caterpillar transforming into the butterfly.
