I have some ancient seeds I'm thinking about brewing, more than a decade old.

Harmalas are insanely stable, so these should still be good... right? In any case, I'll report back after bioassay.

I've had seed stored for a couple years, and it's potency was still fine, idk about a decade but i'm pretty sure Harmalas are pretty stable. I've never noticed any potency loss or degradation with all my Rue seed/extract work.

There's a small possibility that some of the harmaline may have converted to harmine (if Shulgin's speculations regarding hundred-year-old specimens of caapi are anything to go by, as well as his mention of an old sample of harmaline unaccountably containing 30% of harmine). This shouldn't present any problems - indeed, some might regard it as an improvement.




“There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work."
― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli
