I think it is very very difficult to reach enlightment with psychedelics (alone) because you never come back from the trip with everything, plus you cannot take them more than once every 2 weeks for the full effect.

I think the 2 most powerful psychedelics that can be taken daily/near daily are rue and cannabis, both have somewhat similar effects and from the outside you can maybe see that they lead to almost the same destination, but after learning more about both plants ive realized they are very different and they actually have opposing effects in some areas.

What i have realised also was after carefully analyzing and contemplating while on the combo, that the bad use of cannabis that leads to poor memory, addiction,laziness, lack of motivation etc, all come because the rue isnt present, the opposing effects of cannabis against the rue is the exact problem why cannabis can cause adverse effects, same thing the other way around, overuse of rue can cause energy overload, irritability, restlessness etc, i find cannabis also takes full care of that and fixes the energy imbalance.


When i first started smoking after 2 years of not smoking ( at that time i was taking rue for about a year, fully functional with megadoses ) it was very difficult and i was getting confused alot and i was having very powerful trips (and very rough) that forced me to lower my rue dose from 6g to 4-5g and also not smoke during the peak but about 5-6 hours later, but then with practice and solving issues i was leaving behind, ive got a hold of it, and i have upped my rue dose again, and started smoking near the peak, and boom, i can tell exactly where this is going, if you somehow manage to make both plants agree with each other, then you can literally have heaven on earth, no exaggeration, there is no intoxication, only pure light.

But for one, you would need at least 6g to completely cover up any issues from smoking daily ime, and 6g is probably also low, you will probably need more depending on how much you smoke, and for two, it is better if not essential to work with rue first, and get comfortable with heavy doses, i dont think the other way around would work for most people.

The higher you go with rue, the "higher" you get with this combo, and i mean "higher" literally, you literally go up, and the more "up" you go the more you realize that there is no impossible and there are 0 limits to this life, if you deserve it you will get it no matter how crazy and "magical" it is, because you will get to know the creator of the word "impossible".

I was also taking lions mane, im not sure if its essential to reach that state but im sure it played a big role.

So yeah, hope this post will benefit anyone anywhere, peace 🫶
 
Have you experimented with a Balanced Bud with a good balance of THC/CBD? I blend and tweak my weed so its both not too strong creating memory loss or too CBD heavy causing sleeplessness in me.

You seem to completely be passing over the very molecule which the whole forum is named after - DMT - which doesn't seem to exhibit tolerance buildup, and to call it "powerful" would be the understatement of the century.

It's great that you've found your particular medicine and can work with it in a productive way. But be wary of believing you've found "the key to enlightenment". Usually that's how people who've unknowingly lost the plot in their own delusions talk. Not saying you have done so, just proferring a piece of unwarranted yet valuable advice. ;)

I agree and in addition, I'd say DMT has another great advantage over cannabis : it doesn't show on roadside check drugs test while cannabis can make you positive on the saliva test up to several days after the last joint smoked, especially when you are a heavy smoker. I'm saying that from my recent driving license suspension perspective, which lead me to definitely quit cannabis, the pleasure-risk balance now tipping too far towards risk. Now I've been caught positive on cannabis, they will surely drug test me every time I go through a roadside check.

That is a very practical concern for the majority of the world, yes.

Yes, i had high thc bud before which didnt work as well, the one i have is still high in thc but it feels alot more "natural" and balanced, also higher harmala dosages almost fully prevent the memory loss with too much weed, ime.

The issue with dmt and other psychedelics is like i said, its hard to come back with everything in the experience, plus the trip is more spontaneous, i think with rue and cannabis your memory is fully intact and its just an all together a diff experience and for me for valuable, with dmt you leave earth, with rue and cannabis, you choose to fly and come back with your own will.

Thanks for the advice, im not enlightened and never said i am🤷🏽‍♂️, but i think i can reach that state willingly, but not all the time, enlightment isnt you, its a state, and its never fully permanent.

I guess you talk about the high DMT breakthrough doses people are seeking these days, otherwise it's not true. I recall everything and all the insights I have while on harmal & moderate/sub-breakthrough DMT doses, which is my primary approach with spice. On psychedelics, you mostly start losing track when you're overwhelmed.
On the other hand, before I quit cannabis, I had extensive experience with it combined with harmal, and though I used to enjoy the combo, it never helped me stop losing memory/track of my dreams, which now are ways more vivid and easy to memorize.
I never gained insights from harmal & cannabis combo as much as I gained insights from harmal & DMT combo. Happy you found a combo that suits you, but I agree with what @Nydex said, harmal & DMT plays another league, insightfulness and enlightenment wise. At least that's my opinion, knowing both combos quite well.

Where you using heavy harmala amounts? I find cannabis requires heavy amounts to properly balance it, i have been having the wildest most vivid dreams the past few days, i just woke up and im actually abit foggy rn because i had a dream too powerful.

I have had a bad past relashionship with cannabis too, but i was open years later to building new one from scratch, and i got rewarded heavily, i think cannabis is a very special plant, you could try again, whats there to lose?

Its more so the fact that these 5ht2a agonist states feel abit too "out there", i have actually tripped 3 days ago, on not a large dose but a good one, and it just made me feel very childlike and happy but i dont think its as beneficial as using harmalas+cannabis on the daily basis, because my ego is not there at all so im in a completely altered state that i will eventually come back from, but with cannabis and rue its alot easier to allign that state with your functional baseline, imo.
 
Thanks for sharing!

I feel like cannabis is either a hit or miss in people, most of the damage that cannabis cause can be prevented/reversed by pregnenolone.

My experience with chronic heavy cannabis users is that they often develop traits like carelesness, unreliabilty, passive-agressive behaviors, and become with time disconnected with their emotions. That's just my own personal observation and opinion. However I can see how Syrian Rue can help by counter balancing some of these symptoms.

Both @Nydex and @The Sofa Traveler shared everything I wanted to point out already. People tend to fixate on a perfect combo and create stories about it. These plants are part of the world and I doubt that any of them will bring you to enlightenment. They could be a catalyst that opens you up to a bigger reality, but that's about it. Psychedelics are healing compounds that help us to foster a healthy relationship with ourselves and the world. In a sense, they are like a preliminary practice on the way.

Enlightenment is not a state, imo. Any state is by definition fleeting, and the only freedom is in yourself. Not in your personal self, but in that life energy that makes you possible. It's like an electric current behind it all, or a screen on which the story of your life is projected. It honestly frustrates me that people don't want to see it. Ego dominates on all fronts, spirituality included.

What can I add? There is no magic pill out there. The only magic is you yourself. Consciousness is what makes all the stories possible, and without you, all these combos have no meaning. We've had quite a few threads just about that recently. Yes, stories are important to make sense of life, but real life is beyond all stories. You see it or you don't. It's just that simple.

I feel it's time to stop preaching on Nexus. Most of the time, no one gets my point and sees it as some kind of attack on their worldview. All the power to you.
My attempts were honest and wholehearted. "Whoever has ears, let them hear."

Peace 🕊️

I take what I consider high enough harmalas doses for my personal practice and life harmony, and this for years. On a regular if not daily basis it is about 150mg and occasionally up to 300-400mg purposely (400mg would equal a 8g tea optimally prepared with decently potent seeds). When I used to drink tea, I had up to 12g seeds doses but I was most of the time in the 3-5g dose range on the regular basis.
I have had a bad past relashionship with cannabis too
I never had bad experience with cannabis and never said I had other than it messed with my dreams track. Actually I was heavily enthusiast on cannabis. I quit it after almost 40 years of great relationship because of the reasons mentioned above, not because of a relationship problem with the plant. Where I live, law is very strict about cannabis and driving. I can't allow myself to have my driving license suspended once more. I'm quite happy I can continue to use harmal and DMT without such negative impact on my life, as they are not detected on drug tests, they are not even sought after, while one remains positive on cannabis drug tests days after.
Its more so the fact that these 5ht2a agonist states feel abit too "out there", i have actually tripped 3 days ago, on not a large dose but a good one, and it just made me feel very childlike and happy but i dont think its as beneficial as using harmalas+cannabis on the daily basis, because my ego is not there at all so im in a completely altered state that i will eventually come back from, but with cannabis and rue its alot easier to allign that state with your functional baseline, imo.
That's just your experience, it's not mine. Maybe take time to build a longer relationship with harmal and low DMT doses, it might change your mind on the topic. E-cig ROA allows to have the perfect dose you need, neither too much nor too little. It's very different from having a unique dose in one take (even a small one), you can gradually build the experience intensity at the level you want and feel the more comfortable with while gaining tons of insights rather than flooding the brain with a unique dose.

I think you stated before you don't have access to DMT.
This explains why you are looking for substitutes and trying everything under the sun with Rue, and seeking frequent validation from this forum for your efforts.
I hope you can get some DMT at some point to calm this restlessness you seem to have regarding this.

DMT with Rue can be taken often or even daily if that is your intent (usually not advised though) and that is the 'Enlightenment' combo most suited to most people. That combined with meditation and integration work takes you as far as you will ever need to go and beyond.
No memory issues with this combo either, plus retaining is a skill that can also be developed.
 
with dmt you leave earth
This makes me feel we don't have the same approach with DMT. To me it's quite the opposite : I never feel as grounded and connected to earth and life than when I'm on harmal & DMT. Only times where DMT used to make me leave earth is when I used to have higher doses without harmal. I'm no longer interested in such an approach as I didn't grab much insights for trivial life.
Not to mention there is no need to be on regular heavy harmalas dose to gain insights from the harmal & DMT combo. They can be grabbed since the very first experience with it, at moderate dose of both. It's much more suitable for the common people.

That's absolutely not my feeling. To me, you're among the most balanced, interesting and wise people to read on the Nexus. Don't stop preaching here would pray devotes like me :giggle: (sorry OP for the short off topic).
