joining in from the middle east

[M420$]

Hey there! It’s been a while since I’ve been lurking around this website, and I’ve gotten a rough idea about everything. So yeah, I’m just a dude from the Middle East (I don’t want to disclose exactly where, but close to Dubai). It’s very strict here when it comes to substances like these or even other dissociatives, thus I’m very interested in learning more about it and the uses of it here in the Middle East. Me myself I have around a few years of experience in this field and have been taking these substances on and off every once in a while, BUT IM NO EXPERT BY ANY MEANS, most of my trips have been on shrooms and LSD as I have taken these two the most, especially LSD i have the most experience with it. and i feel like I’m finally ready to dive deep into the realm of DMT and to start experimenting with it and sharing my experiences with it, as I’ve heard a lot about it and what it can do to you as a person only raises my interest in substances like these.

That said, I’m fully aware of the legal risks in my region and elsewhere, so I’m approaching this purely from a curiosity and educational standpoint hypothetical discussions, research, and hearing others’ stories to better understand the potential benefits and precautions. Has anyone from similar strict environments navigated this safely? I’d love to hear your thoughts, experiences, or any advice on staying informed without crossing lines. Let’s keep it respectful and insightful!

Welcome to the Nexus.

I certainly hope you are successful in your search for the spice given the strict regulations in your area. I wonder if you are allowed to have the right things shipped to you? If not you might want to look into procuring seeds and beginning long term project where you actually grow the plants that you desire.

I am aware that Syrian Rue grows all over your area and you might be able to just pick that up in a shop if you're interested in an MAOI.

Regardless, I hope you enjoy your time here and i'm glad you signed up.

Hi and welcome.

I'm in a similar situation in northern Africa . Our laws are even stricter than Saudi Arabia so importing bark or any entheogen was out of question for me. This lead me to embark on a journey to source endemic Sources of tryptamines.

After over 10 years of search I finally nailed it with phalaris. I've managed to spot a local strain of phalaris aquatica that proved to yield 0.3% 5-meo-dmt. Its harvest ready within 3 months when sown in autumn. It's drought hardy perennial so you Only sowe it once and can stay with you for a lifetime. 50 plants is all you need to fulfill all your personal needs.

I also acquired a collection of hybridized phalaris aquatica breed line that has promising DMT chemotypes with satisfying yield ~0.4%. i hope this helps.
You can refer to my profile posts for more information.

If you have any questions don't hesitate. Seeds are available if you're keen to give it a try.

Pandora,

Thanks for the warm welcome, Its great to be here!

Yeah, shipping has been a major no go for me. I've heard directly from two people who got caught trying to bring in certain things, and both ended up with 10 year sentences they're still serving time right now. Stories like that make it crystal clear why it's not worth the risk, so I've shifted everything to local sourcing only. It's slower and more limited, but way safer.

From what I've researched so far, there are indeed some Acacia species that grow locally here and reportedly contain DMT or related compounds, which is what really sparked my deeper dive into this whole realm. It's fascinating to think about working with what's naturally available in the region rather than relying on imports.

As for other psychedelics around here, magic mushrooms are the main natural option (grown Locally), and LSD seems to mostly come from lab made sources (often traced back to China based on what my friends and I have pieced together locally). Syrian Rue is super common and easy to find it's even sold openly in markets because of its traditional reputation in Islamic healing practices. People often prepare it by grinding the seeds and mixing about 4-5g with a cup of water (sometimes boiled or steeped), and it's used for various health reasons. The cultural and medicinal history around it here is pretty rich, which makes it an interesting MAOI option without the hassle.


Anyway, thanks again for the kind words and the thoughtful suggestions means a lot. Looking forward to chatting more and staying safe in the journey!

hey there, thanks for the kind hello and for sharing your experience! It's really inspiring to hear from someone who's put in over a decade of dedicated searching and finally found a solid, sustainable local solution with Phalaris. That kind of persistence in such a restricted environment is impressive, and it's awesome that you've zeroed in on a strain of Phalaris aquatica yielding around 0.3% 5-MeO-DMT, plus those promising hybridized lines pushing toward 0.4% DMT chemotypes.

Your approach aligns perfectly with what I've been thinking too: sticking strictly to endemic or easily cultivable local sources to avoid any import risks. I've read a bit about Phalaris (bulbous canary grass/Harding grass) and how it thrives in Mediterranean/North African-like climates, with good drought tolerance and deep roots helping it persist.

I'd love to learn more if you're open to sharing (no pressure, of course)—maybe some basic cultivation tips for our region, like ideal sowing depth/timing, any specific stress techniques you've used to boost yields, or how you handle identification/harvest to maximize potency? Also, since you mentioned your profile posts have more details, I'll definitely check those out for extra info.

Thanks again for the offer on seeds that's generous, and if it feels right down the line and aligns with local regs/safety, I might reach out. In the meantime, this gives me a strong lead to explore safely and sustainably. Stay well, keep thriving, and looking forward to any insights you feel like dropping!
