you would think a mod would care to keep some sort of standard but i guess its true, this really is just shroomery for spice heads.

"im not the only person thats dosed this high and frequently"

Sounds to me like you are proving that it IS INDEED your technique if you have passed it on to others who are "frequently" smoking doses that high with similar results. If you were a hard-head it would be one thing, but saying that several others you know who dosed at the same time are experiencing similar effects seems statistically suspect. I have to side with Art - your technique is either lacking or you're rippin a yarn.

Incidentally, this is not like some of those other forums you listed BECAUSE we don't tolerate pissing contests, which seem to be the standard thread elsewhere.

And if it is true, and you've done your homework, you would know how truly astounding AND anomalous your experience was, and wouldn't be so casual and cavalier in your relating of it. Or at least you would understand the responses you are getting.

I really hope its your technique. If it is though, be careful, cause you're in for a helluva whopper when you improve it!

It actually is, I think - because this kind of bullshit is potentially very, very dangerous. For those who don't know that its utter nonsense and adhere to this guy's dosing guidelines, they're going to get the shock of a lifetime - absolute best case scenario.

As I see it, we all of us have a shared responsibility to call this kind of stuff out. A little education can go a long way towards keeping people out of the ER.

30mg - something is going on....for most people this is not nearly enough to be of any significance, unless one is taking a very large MAOI dose....or a lot of Ayahuasca vine. This may be a good introduction.

60mg - possibly light visuals, probably not very much. A good gentle self observational, light physical opening. Walking around and interacting should be easy. Most should have no problems dealing with this dose.

100mg - clear visuals, opening, brightening of all senses, a good effect. This is a good dose, to start with. Walking around and sitting upright are very possible. Maybe there can be a beginning for inter dimensional communications and the like. Good for singing and bodywork, sorting out the personal inventory etc. This is a good starting dose in my opinion.

150mg - strong for many people, where it gets more visionary and immersed for others, where the trans personal really beings to kick in. Many won't find they are really getting to where they want to go with this dose.

200mg - usually a solid immersive visionary experience, where one is still able to navigate the physical reality if need be.

250mg - many are pretty much pinned to the floor, this dose can be very workable for many people.

300mg - a very strong visionary dose, as much as 90% of people would ever really want to do. This is where inter dimensional communication, O.B.E. like experiences, and very unusual and experientially real phenomena really come to the fore. Although, 200mg may do the same thing for other people.

400mg - some people need this much (of large body weight and tolerance to substances in general!), but usually 300mg is about the upper limit, beyond that it can become difficult to work with for most.

500mg - too 'full on' to really work with for most...just too much information....the elements that arise may become too distorted and 'excited' for their to really be grounding and/or assimilation.

700-1000mg - no recall to little recall whatsoever, can be very stressful to the system, where the quality of overdosing in the smoked DMT state comes into play. i.e. convulsing, frothing at the mouth, eyes rolling backwards.

theres no need to be confrontational people. once again, dig a little deeper. theres more there than you think. its not dangerous its just off-putting to a small-dose mindset.

I'm sure it's awesome, but for many folk here have have experimented quite widely with different combinations 100mg is a very large dose. I can have comfortable travelling at 50mg for a thinking exercise, but doses of 100-150mg for me and what has been told by most others is like a fullon breakthrough that can last easily for an hour or two that can SEEM to last for days. Complete out of body with life like touch felt from entities and unreal objects. That's a complete foreign reality integration

I would never in my wildest dreams take more than 250mg's. Not because I'm scared... well yeah a little and it's a nice evolutionary mechanism, but it's just not necassarry for myself and most others

It actually sounds like a waste to me

I respect your right to experiment on yourself and all, but I'm fairly sure if that was consumed by 100 participants, many of them would have bad reactions.

Taterboard effused:
"what sort of doses do you people do with cubensis or pans? i would imagine that too is small. all im saying is, i think youre afraid for no reason. and just because a lot of you say it doesnt mean its truth, just the opinion of yet another forum... have an open mind and try it. otherwise, how am i going to take that sort of non-sense seriously. dose higher and then tell me what happened. i think youll find it was amazing and beautiful not frightening."

Wow are you preumptuous. and arrogant.

Wow are you presumptuous. and arrogant.

Wow. Clearly this site is not for you. If you had done YOUR homework, you'd know a little bit more about who you were addressing, and you'd understand that your brand of condescension is neither encouraged, tolerated nor welcome here.

We got off on the wrong foot here. Are you willing to say anything to start over? I hope so. I hate to make anyone feel unwelcome here.

combining MAOIs with other psychoactive drugs can lead to dangerous medical problems including serotonin syndrome, hypertensive crisis, and other related serious issues.

whether mescaline (also showing some MAOI activity itself) is safe in combination with any significant level of tyramine has not really been established

it is reasonable to be concerned about combining cactus and MAOIs

Smoked DMT Dosages

Threshold 2 - 5 mg
Light 10 - 20 mg
Common 20 - 40 mg
Strong 40 - 60 mg

What are the MAOI's present in this brew? I know the achuma contains three natural MAOI's in Kaempferol, Quercetin and Isoquinoline. These mild MAOI's are reversible, and should pose no danger when combined with tyramine.
Please see: http://forums.mycotopia....tanica...questions.html (Bridgesii questions?)

The brew will include four grams of syrian rue , the MAOI's in this case being Harmine and Harmaline. These MAOI's are reversible and considered safe to consume with low-levels of tyramine.



These combinations raise a lot of flags in the plant community, and rightfully so. Safety is a priority and anyone experimenting with MAOI's should follow the proper dietary restrictions: http://forums.mycotopia....ahuasc...trictions.html (MAOI FAQ - DIETARY & DRUG INTERACTIONS / RESTRICTIONS)

Prescription meds such as zoloft, prozac and celexa contain SSRI's that can be dangerous when combined with an MAOI.

This brew contains a mix of very powerful plants. I hope the user has a healthy relationship and respect for these plants. To me the wild-card here is the addition of Belladonna, which is generally considered dangerous.
