Trying to figure out my pharma dose

[WalkingSpirit]

Hey everyone,

Some of you may remember be, some maybe not. I haven't been on much, and lately have been hoping to return to hyperspace. I've been there probably at one point via smoking the spice but drinking it is always a favorite choice for me. When I used to do a pharma mix, I had a vial of harmaline, and would make a 1:1 ratio for the pharma cocktail. Last time I acquired some harmala extract, I forgot to check what kind it was (harmaline or harmine). I cant find anything but "peganum harmala", "syrian rue", or "african rue."
A few others have tried a pharma cocktail but many of them are still amateurs and didn't prepare well for the pharma trip. I am about to embark on a spirit walk sometime soon myself. If there is a difference between how much of the extract I should use, pending on which type it is, would someone be so kind as to tell me? That way, if my 1:1 ratio fails, I have a back up plan for next time.

Thanks!

I hope all is well with you WalkingSpirit. I am relatively new to the world of harmalas (I learned from the spice alone for a while ), and I have so far only experimented with harmala extract mixtures and caapi brews. However, from my research here on the nexus, it appears Harmaline is about twice as strong as Harmine. Harmaline is also present in much lower amounts naturally in the plant than Harmine, so you would intake much less harmaline than harmine in a caapi brew.

Harmine is supposed to be more of a clear headed high, whereas harmaline is supposed to have a heavy body load. It seems 200-250 mgs of Harmine are necessary for inhibition of MAO, but only 100-150 mgs of Harmaline are necessary to inhibit MAO.

I hope that was helpful. If not, I'm sure some other "harmala gurus" will be by shortly.

peace and happy journeys

Thanks for your response. I thought someone else would have something to say by now. The vets of time past perhaps?

If your 1:1 ratio fails, have some spice on standby to smoke because even on some "failed" experiences, you can still have MAO inhibition, and if you in fact do, only a couple hits of spice should blast you well into the stratosphere for an hour or so. If after the hour, you've decided you could use more, just take another hit or two and you'll be up for another hour. Repeat and so on...
