My Syrian Rue Tea & Vaped DMT Sessions

[TransistorBass]

I plan to add to this thread with future sessions to avoid multiple posts.

21st December 2025

Setup for the session was 500mg Syrian Rue Tea at 9.00, repeat 500mg at 12.30.
A little tired from a busy work day yesterday and a few beers.
Devi Prayer on repeat for sound track which was very calming.

Annoyingly my heart was going a little faster than I’d have liked and the room could have been warmer and also later on it could have been cooler, I was a bit of a sweaty mess afterwards!
14.15-ish DMT vaped in gentle short tokes of 4-5 seconds each, gently entered DNA squid world, popping in and out at threshold level with top up tokes so only ‘knocking on the door’ so to speak. The Syrian Rue definitely had an effect and slowed the decay time down lots, mostly CEV with feels and hints of entity faces and I mostly kept the eye shades on, I had to tweak the curtains and adjust the heating at which point I was relatively unstable on my feet.
First gentle session a success, effects are still mildly active now as I write this at 15.45 as just a bit of head fuzz. Needed a bit of a sugar boost afterwards.

Thoughts for next time are mostly about the room temperature, though also where to put the vape down without knocking it over, it was clear a big toke would have nicely levelled me up and increased the intensity.

Here's a recap of the Vape Juice and Vape setup from another Thread to help with context on the above:
19th December 2025

Only a little nervous going into this as I’ve been looking forward to trying a gentle experience and plan to take Syrian Rue seeds before vaping in future so I can try to extend the visit in different levels of state.
First Vape juice mix in Geekvape Aegis Legend 3 Kit with Z0.15 Coil fitted, a juice mix of 500mg DMT with 1.75ml PG and 0.75 VG to make 3ml of D-Juice. Vaped at 20w but quickly turned up to 30watt after first toke.
This was a quick few toke test session before / during my Yoga practice, started with about a 3-4 second toke, then a 5 second I could taste the DMT more on this toke, mostly CEV but a little OEV after another quick toke.
DMT doesn’t really fit with Yoga as it gives you too much to look at and you forget what Yoga poses to do and it would be all too tempting to keep toking. But the Yoga had to be done.
I feel this was a good test of the vape device and the Juice, DMT level per toke felt nice and steady but could also build if doing a couple of 10 second tokes.
Still feel light and refreshed afterwards just like a bigger dose.

1st January 2026 - Same vape juice mix as last time.

500mg Syrian Rue tea approx 13.20 which was after eating lunch.
Setup in the room I do Yoga in, clear head as I had no alcohol last night.
Eye shades on for most of the experience.

I think it was 14.50 when I closed the door and got myself settled, my heart rate was a bit high if I’m honest.
It's almost 16.30 now and I just came out of the room for the second time, I needed a pee and more water the first time!
It would be very easy to stick around for hours like this, another beautiful threshold session, dipping in and out and enjoying the relaxation of the CEV again and again.
I’m beginning to recognise the Harmalas now and how they subtly alter the feelings, they bring a body-load (I’m starting to understand this term now) which feels more like Mushrooms or LSD and along with extending the curve of the effect’s decay it brings a pulse to the experience which you feel as a low wave that increases the effect before waning away.

In this session I took relatively small tokes to begin to calm myself down a little followed by about a 10 second, a little bit of a mental fight to click-over. Again, as the last Syrian Rue session I have been skirting around the threshold levels and honestly it's very tempting to try and stay in this state due to the utter beauty, though it's good to feel the effects subside a little and get the body feeling back and do simple things like drinking water, re-applying lip balm and moving the body all of which feel like grateful experiences.

After getting a drink and going back in I did a quick tiny toke before a big 10 second one, this is the first time I’ve felt a rush of nausea which I told myself would pass, and it did, I left these effects to run their course and enjoyed the relaxation and spent a little time talking to my brain to tell it that the sound in my ear isn’t sound and it's only created by the brain (Tinnitus).

Such a lovely space to hang out in, it would be interesting to plan a full afternoon session.

OK, stepping this up now to a more Vapourhuasca style thing now I've extracted my own Harmalas as Freebase.

21st February 2026

Setup:
Warm Room up
Music was ‘meditation music’ via Amazon
Comfy chair
Eye shades

Chemical enhancements for Vapourhuasca:
40mg extracted Harmalas Freebase, taken in glass pipe 10 mins before, this was harder to weigh out due to how fine the powder is and how much of it sticks to the weigh-pan.
NN DMT via Vape juice, 3ml PG/VG with 600mg

Start Time: 14.00
End Time: 15.20

Experience:
The Harmalas were raising my heart rate so had a couple of 2-3 second hits on the vape and allowed my body to calm. Almost instantly I noticed the smooth calm effects that lasted way longer than DMT alone.

Now that I’ve settled I took a bigger 5 second hit and put the eye shades on, colourful fractal world ensued and the pulse of the Harmalas was evident bringing waves of effects, I was almost definitely in some big fractal room or space.
The Harmalas are drawing out everything and it’s hard not to allow the effects to ebb and flow and drift into an almost sleep-like relaxation.
I allowed the effects to wane as it was very relaxing and felt I should allow things rather than hitting it again straight away.

Repeated this twice more with 5 second hits and again let it slowly subside.
I really needed movement again in this session, I really needed a good stretch and squirm as the body feelings return to normal.
The last hit was noticeably more subtle.

It’s 15.50 now and I’ve still got a relaxed buzz ongoing.
This experience has been visually more like my second ever experience but not a hint of any faces or entities, I now feel I should have taken some notes in between hits so I could remember the swirl world a little better.
Some nausea again in this session, again told myself it would pass and it did, I think this was caused by either cool air hitting my lungs / throat or a sip of cold water settling in my stomach as you get the reality-feels back.

Post-Session Tea and Cake are very welcome!
