willnotcannot,

be patient with the things you cannot obtain at the moment. Surely there will come a time where you can grow things yourself or know the right people.

As for Syrian Rue, it contains Harmala alkaloids which belong to the class of RIMA - reversible inhibitors of mono-amino oxidase. These are usually needed to make DMT orally active, that's why it's usually mixed with other plants. DMT containing plants. The whole mix is then a so called Ayahuasca anaologue.

On its own syrian rue has some psychotropic properties but personally I don't enjoy it on its own simply because it comes with nausea and sedation for me. I'm also not sure to what extent it actually produces effects. I'm sure other members can tell you more.

It's good that you did your research on DXM. There is a reason why a lot of people on here will say "stay away from it" though. It's a very strange substance with a very dark lure to it... I cannot explain it in any better way. In my early explorations I took quite an interest in it and ended up being very distressed mentally. In the beginning I loved it, later I didn't feel quite right without it, and finally I began to think of it as a demon whispering in my ear, promising me powers over my mind and spirit... but the price was high: I was paying with memories and pieces of my self. 

It may be safe physiologically, but it is a substance that should be used cautiously IMO. I for one will not tell you to stay away, but rather to be aware of what you are getting into.

take care
