I totally agree with you although I myself have little to no experience with aya I'd think that an MAOI and inhaling DMT vapor would be way to powerful the first time, for me personally at least. Aya is an oral method so it doesn't have that punch the in the face smoking does, but I could be wrong. But I'd think you'd want to get a sense of what it can do before you start playing with MAOI's and the like IMO. My introduction to the "DMT universe" was with 5-meo and that was pretty intense the first time, it was hard to keep from losing my head. It was definitely a life changing and enjoyable experience, when I look back on it. So really it comes down to you and what your comfortable with no else one can tell you what's best for you...
