Hi all,
I'll shortly have about 10lbs of San Pedro to work with and I hope to have an experience with the cactus either this upcoming weekend or the next. I've looked into various extraction techniques and seeing as they have quite a bit in common with MHRB extraction, I don't think I'll have much of a problem with it. I do have a few questions though.
The first is regarding the use of Syrian Rue or other MAOI/RIMAs. Seeing as most San Pedro doesn't seem to be all that potent, potentiating with Rue would seem to be a good idea in my mind, especially considering how cheap Rue is compared to cactus. But I've heard a number of possible issues, especially when combining the rue with the whole cactus as it seems that San Pedro has a fair amount of tyramine. I know that extracted mescaline shouldn't be an issue with rue, but would there be an issue with combining rue with a full spectrum SP extraction (IE, before doing any acetone washing)? Does this extract contain a fair amount of tyramine, and if so, would the combination be a problem? I've heard from a number of sources that diet isn't especially important with regard to RIMAs and I have consumed aged cheeses while on rue in the past with no issues.
So, how many people have tried the (MAOI/RIMA)/mescaline combo before? Would you consider it a good way of using less mescaline yet achieving the same results? Is there any reason why I wouldn't want my first cactus experience to be like this? Would you recommend I only use rue in combination with fairly clean extracted mescaline rather than with the full spectrum alkaloids? Does anyone find that the rue imparts a negative quality to the trip?
If I decide to proceed in this manner, I was thinking about taking 200mgs of harmalas along with either 200mgs mescaline hcl or 250mgs combined alkaloids. Does this sound like a good first time dose? I should mention that I seem to have a very high tolerance for hallucinogens in general, I need to take large amounts of shrooms (around a quarter ounce dry) before I get really any decent visuals and I need silly large amounts of DMT to get much of an effect (I broke through once at around 400mgs and typically need around 200 to get a substantial experience). I don't believe that I've had any experience with phenethylamines with the exception of MDMA (which I seem to have average tolerance to, given my weight).
I've heard so many good things about this particular entheogen, I'm really excited to give it a try. My significant other and I will be dosing together and we'd like to have control over our facilities the entire trip if possible. From what I've heard about mescaline, this shouldn't be an issue, but I wonder if the addition of harmalas might effect things greatly.
Given how cheap harmalas are and how relatively rare and expensive cactus is, I'd think this combination would be used far more often. Is there a particular reason that people tend to shy away from this combo? Any and all information that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
