Namasté, everyone. Lately I've been using Peganum harmala (Syrian Rue) seeds to enhance my DMT trips and also for tripping on psilohuasca (Like ayahuasca, but with mushrooms instead of oral DMT. I eat about 2 g* of seeds some 45 minutes before doing shrooms. The trip lasts about 90 minutes longer and is slightly stronger than twice the amount of shrooms without MAO inhibition - for me, a 2g/2g psilohuasca trip is comparable to a 5g shrooms-only trip - with a much more pleasant come-up. I highly recommend it to anyone who's curious). But I'm running out and my supplier has yet to restock.

I've found a website selling P. harmala extract but I haven't found much information on how much of the extract is equivalent to how much in actual seeds. The site itself claims that 30 ml of extract is equivalent to 10 g of seeds. Still, I'd like to hear from other people who have experience with Syrian Rue extract if that seems accurate.

So, if you've used Syrian Rue extract and seeds, what would you say is the ratio? And if you've only used the extract, please chime in with how much you use as well.

Trip safely and spread love.

* Before settling on 2 g I took the seeds on their own a few times, starting at 200 mg and slowly increasing the dose, because I read that people's sensitivity to the active compounds can vary wildly. 2 g seems to be my sweet spot, I even feel slightly stoned from the seeds themselves. According to Erowid, a common dose for MAO inhibition to use together with other psychedelics is anywhere from 3 to 6 g but I've found reports online of people who have had the desired effects with as little as 300 mg. It seems like above a certain threshold, desired effects cease to increase but potential side-effects such as nausea do not. If you want to try this, be safe and start low. And always keep in mind the drug and food interactions when using MAOIs, as there are many and some can be life-threatening.
