moderation

[Mimosaquero]

greetings fellow travelers,
i recently took 2-3 months off weed and been smoking again on and off. i honestly just want a healthy relationship with cannabis since i tend to abuse it, plus my ayahuasca experiences i embark on weekly tend to talk to me about weed alot when im abusing it. right now im smoking 2 4-6 second puffs from a vape mostly everyday and just wanna know/hear others experiences when it comes to moderating usage to a healthy amount since i feel weed can really mess you up mentally once you go down that slippery slope.

Thread 'Experiences with daily harmala dosing + cannabis'

Jul 2, 2026

Anyone ever smoked weed while taking harmalas daily for a while? How would you describe the effect compared to cannabis alone and cannabis+acute harmala dose (no tolerance)?

Ive been taking heavy doses of rue seeds for months now, and a few days ago i picked up some cannabis after stopping them for years, its very interesting and chronic harmala dosing def changed the high significantly, im willing to share more but i would like to hear about people who tried it and how they would describe it.

*Assuming you are Puffing on a weed vape not DMT?

I used to be a weed head back in the 90's, took a massive break and only got back into it about 3 years ago to fix my Neuropathic pain. I've found my daily intake to be a net benefit to me for more than just the pain, brighter more connected brain and I'm sure my business would stress me out a lot more than it does if it wasn't for my nighttime routine of instant relaxation.

I've probably got the opposite of an addictive brain, nothing has ever managed to latch onto me.

My evening is:
0.25g In the PAX Mini
Then later on
0.1g in the Dynavap
I always use a good balanced THC/CBD bud or blend my weed to be sure to get enough CBD in the mix to stop my heart racing, but enough THC to pretty much guarantee a good night's sleep, and mostly avoid any memory loss like totally forgetting what movie we just watched!

99% of the time this routine stays exactly the same, I don't feel I'm building any tolerance either. Very very occasionally I may have 2x 0.1g Dynavap sessions in 1 evening, I'm really happy to be a lightweight.

**If you happen to be puffing on a DMT vape then at the moment I'm doing that maybe twice a week at low levels, mostly around 1 session of Yoga a week, 2-3 other Yoga sessions totally un-enhanced.

thc vape, 5 or so days ago i got this .5g cart and only been hitting it twice a day. usually in the evening or after the day is over. im just mostly concerned about if its considered "problematic" or if my usage falls under normal and i shouldnt worry too much, because few months back i was taking dabs all day everyday, last i counted it was 6-8 dabs a day. i just want a healthy relationship with weed since thats a very common theme for me with ayahuasca is that i have to build a healthier/better relationship with cannabis.

Sounds like you know the answer but writing things down always helps crystalize the thoughts..

I'm not the one to comment on your use. The theme of cannabis and moderation pops up every few months.

After almost 40 years of cannabis use, I've cut back in the most drastic way possible: I quit completely almost 8 months ago. It was a firm decision I made after taking 250mg of harmalas while lying down, to think about how best to deal with my driver's license suspension that happened a week earlier after being tested THC positive on roadside check. I couldn't afford longer to keep driving with that sword of Damocles hanging over my head, with all the legal risks that entails.
Quitting it was easier than I imagined, especially since it was done somewhat out of necessity, rather than genuine desire. Over time, I'd convinced myself I needed it, particularly to fall asleep, but that wasn't true. It took me a week to adjust my sleep schedule to this new reality. I didn't experience insomnia, just the need to readjust my sleep schedule without the on/off cannabis switch. And in doing so, I also realized just how much of a dreams thief cannabis is! My dreams are very vivid now and it's very pleasurable.
After eight months, the results are very positive, even though I loved cannabis. Procrastination is a thing of the past. I used to smoke my joints with tobacco, so I've also quit smoking tobacco for good. Cannabis was a backdoor into tobacco. Apart from joints, I no longer consumed any since I've been vaping nicotine for over ten years.
I feel that harmalas have greatly helped me make the right choices and decisions about cannabis, although I used to enjoy the combination of both. They also helped me quit booze for good some years ago, with the same ease (I was drinking a bit too much...). I think it's a very powerful tool to understand mechanisms underlying one's addictions, among other magic that commitment with rue/harmalas can provide.

Cannabis is a tricky thing. I was a big time stoner for almost a decade and I feel grateful my lovely wife came into my life and was fully against it and I desperately needed to stop for my mental health. These days I have it every now and then, usually low dose. I did slip into poor habits again twice. It's now been almost a decade since the first time I stopped. As long as I stick to every now and then it's fine. However, I find when it's an every now and then thing I'm actually not that into it.

I really should try harmala + cannabis, or should I not..? hehe
