What are you defining as "break through".....this is a term coined to describe the dmt-saturated psychic state where one can't even see one's hand in front of one's face in full daylight.....you're saying this happened to you with a /30-60mg oral dose/ of dmt?? That's hardly even a threshold oral dose for most people..........SWIM has broken through on vaped dmt but to even begin to approach that state orally took 75g mimosa........Not saying I don't believe you, but that's akin to claiming that one got "drunk as heck" from a single sip of beer......thus my questioning whether your use of the term "breakthrough" is misinformation.



Yes to both, (pre-breakthrough, as during a breakthrough, one cannot by definition know if one's eyes are open or closed as well as whether or not one is standing.)



I am assuming you mean high harmala/low dmt breakthrough vs low harmala/high dmt breakthrough.....

In this case, no: The breakthrough shouldn't happen at all with low dmt, while with lots of dmt and not much harmalas, it should be a relatively short breakthrough..........implying that high harmala/high dmt would potentially result in a long breakthrough.

Why did he see the dmt's effects as distractions , and given that, why include the admixture at all...?

Hi there my friend YESS. Harmine overpowers DMT. For the past week I have been smoking changa that is 500mg Dmt, 500mg herbs, and 90mg harmine. Dmt crystals were white! Freeze precip method was used, then crystals were fan dried. I take four tokes and by then the harmine is super strong and I cant smoke enough (harmine makes me not care about anything, like I am just pure conciousness, a plant observing)...the feeling is very freeing. However low visuals and Harmine keeps me tied to the ground so that I cant hear the buzz and cant travel the wave and go deeper and have the dmt experience.
My experiences laid down for your acumulation of knowledge. Much love. Hope I have helped

The fireworks are not DMT's only effects. For me, the most desirable effect of the DMT is that it helps bring out the Caapi / harmala effects fully. I don't need strong DMT, just enough to 'activate' the vine or harmalas.

Chaliponga is an exception as it has unique, interesting properties beyond just DMT. When I drink Chaliponga, I can drink it with the minimum amount of MAOI needed to activate it and it takes me to interesting places.

With MHRB or Acacia, a combination of minimum MAOI and a high dose of the DMT tea would be fireworky and uninteresting.
