Interesting take. I just tried some enhanced leaf and changa within a few days of each other and it was my first time smoking changa. I tried my Enhanced leaf first (50mg DMT), Changa a few days later(25mg DMT), then enhanced leaf again a few days after that (25mg DMT).

Although the changa experience was only about half the amount of DMT as the first enhanced leaf experience, I did find it much smoother and more gentle on the come up. I was thinking about initiating a family member, but after my first enhanced leaf experience I thought “holy shit I can’t believe I thought about giving that experience to my family member. They’d never try a psychedelic again.”

After trying the Changa, I thought “well maybe I could initiate them with this” as it’s not as big of a slap in the face as pure DMT.

after that Changa experience, I tried the enhanced leaf again with a similar amount of DMT from my Changa journey and the DMT alone was still definitely more of a rocket ship. The Changa definitely lasted longer, but I feel like I could see my family member (who’s never taken any psychedelics) being more comfortable in that headspace and less afraid to try it again.
