There tends to be confusion in many people in the issue of nausea/vomiting and purging.
Vomiting means stuff coming out of your mouth. The purgative effect is blasting the medicine out of your ass. Purging can
also be used to describe vomiting, which is what I believe causes the confusion.
Harmalas alone cause minimal to no nausea in reasonable doses, and no diarrhea at any rational dose [I've gone up to a gram of isolated harmine•HCl, it doesnt loosen the bowels even at
that dose. Do not take a gram of simple rue harmalas, you wouldn't like that much harmaline.]
DMT alone has never caused vomiting or purging [diarrhea] in me.
Orally consuming harmalas and then smoking DMT can cause nausea and doing so on mescaline can be messy if your not ready. Trust me :lol: But still no purging.
Orally consuming harmalas and then orally consuming DMT is very likely to cause nausea and frequently results in vomiting. I just try to not vomit in the first 60 minutes so I dont loose any of the drug, beyond that I wont fight it. Vomiting will just send you into the peak faster. Still no purging.
Ayahuasca has a
TON of tannin. The liquid is saturated with tannin and the mud in aya is precipitated tannic acid and DMT/harmala tannates. Tannins are tissue irritants that your body really cant do anything with, so if there is still lots of tannin in your that your body cant rid itself of by vomiting it tries to flush it out the other end. Promptly. This is the purge, and it is why all other routes spare you the effect.
The purge caused by the caapi tannins is believed by many to be an important component of ayahuascas medicinal action, but it is not psychedelic.
Edit for a practical detail: Get a designated vomit bucket. I have a little bucket I use for all kinds of household and lab things but among its roles is that of my vomit bucket. I spend more time using it to bail coolant for solvent distillation, or hand cleaning small clothing items but this bucket has been with me to see universes
Explode! It's been with me as I shattered my mind and put the pieces back together, as I tore open long shut doors letting me rediscover love and beauty so whatever I use it for it will still be my 'vomit bucket'. It and I are friends, and by extension I've come to peace with vomiting. Vomiting is just a frequent part of a wonderful process and it is due a little respect. I never try to vomit but when I do vomit it's just a part of the healing. And I know vomit bucket will be there for me.
