An extract labeled 5:1 is NOT the same as 5x. The 5:1 ratio generally means the ratio of solid to liquid. 5:1 is a little odd, because that means that there is more solid than liquid (by weight), it's generally something like 1:5 meaning 1 part solid to 5 parts liquid, so if you have 1oz of tincture, then 1/5th of that is the actually alkaloid. 5:1 means you have 5 parts solid alkaloids to every one part liquid (like alcohol or glycerin).Dimitri-Trance said:Well I have a 1oz bottle of liquid extract labeled "Harmaline 5:1" im thinking its extracted from syrian rue.(75mg per dropper full)
memo said:I would say that 150 to 200 mg of harmaline would be effective. Freebase dmt is not as effective in my opinion as a salt form. You can salt the freebase by putting it into some lemon juice along with the harmaline. Some people don't get off on 50mg dmt in pharmahuasca but it was a good starting point for me. It takes 30 to 45 minutes to come on and lasts 3 to 4 hours.
Also, there is such an incredibly WIDE RANGE of alkaloid content with Harmala and Haramaline, that we offer the 75mg number solely as a reference point, rather than a rule. We don't test each individual batch of seeds that arrive, nor do we make a "standardized" version of the Harmala Extract, but we do buy the seeds from the exact same supplier, who grows the plants that produce the seems themselves, on the same series of plots, year after year.
Also, I just tried the liquid harmaline 5x extract from a reputable place and found that instead of containing 75mg's per dropper that it only contained maybe 15-20mg's. So I dried about 16 dropper fulls to get roughly 300mg's. I will never buy the liquid harmaline extract again, either I'll extract from rue or just drink some B. caapi, though the liquids are what I try to avoid. Hope this helps somebody. Peace everyone.
