So I've gotten extremely curious about the effects of Harmalas used by themselves. I'm planning a new DMT extraction, and intend to get some MAOIs extracted too while I have the tools together, for some pharmahuasca...
But while I'm waiting for the plant material, I'd like to gather some insight on Harmalas themselves. They seem to be a mostly ignored bystander in the psychedelic community, with all experience reports on Erowid, and most discussion here on the nexus, only mentioning them as a potentiator for DMT or some other indole, like mushrooms.
Still, reading with attention, there seems to be a lot of interesting stuff there. According to some sources I've gathered, Ayahuasca, literally speaking, is not MAOI + DMT, it IS the MAOI - the DMT is an added bonus, and some shamans apparently say that one should first be familiar with the vine before adding the Deemz. (Sorry, it's been a while I read this so I'm not sure where it was discussed.)
There's also the topic here on the Prophet Muhammad talking about the use of Syrian Rue as a sacred medicine.
And, finally, MAOIs are quite popular in the Western world as antidepressants...
So I'm wondering if any of you have experience with using Syrian Rue or vine for their own effects, and what one can expect from them at various (sub-psychedelic and psychedelic) doses.
