Please offer some expertise if you can:

After a 1/2 day fast, quiet contemplation, and sweet grass smudge she...

drank 2.5 g Peganum harmala tea (finely ground seeds, ~3/4 c water + juice of 1/2 lime boiled for ~ 5 minutes, strained).
20 minutes later consumed tea of 1 g fine pinkish MHRB prepared in an identical fashion - pleasantly surprised by a slight but distinct tropical fruit punch flavor! The bark is verified at 1.5%+ alkaloid content by previous STB extraction of the same batch.
After each cup she ate 1/4 apple to stimulate digestion.

1 hour later the rue was coming on - not as strong as previous rue-only experimentation - heaviness in the limbs, nausea fading in and out, emotional giddiness were all there, but mild. SWIM has a strong constitution and believes her rue dosing has been cautious, under purging levels for sure.

At 1 1/2 hours the MHRB alkaloids trickled in softly. SWIM was energized, enjoying moving her body eyes closed - there was only a hint of DMT geometry behind closed lids. A period of stillness and calm followed, very nice laying back and sensing that present stillness. The central heating fan stimulated a colorful meandering pattern behind closed lids
which SWIM followed for a bit - again, enjoyable and vivid but ephemeral. The "push" of the experience was quite gentle, like coasting. Calm was followed by animated focus, coming down: reflection, note-taking, wonderful listening to music. At ~5 hours it was time for bed.

Questions:

What adjustments to prep, dose, and timing will provide a stronger, more visual/visionary experience? The obvious answer is "more", of course, and yet... SWIM wants to be precise in her approach.

How to tell when one is completely MAO inhibited? She has read 1 g of MHRB can provide a more potent experience than described above. (She is not particularly resistant to smoked DMT, so believes her very light MHRB experience to be at least partially due to incomplete MAOI)

Is there any benefit to consuming the tea(s) unfiltered? Perhaps this will furnish more alkaloids, but will they be delivered in a timely fashion?

Will a *simple* Manske extraction on the rue reduce nausea?

Thank you.

yup do manske and you wouldn't have nausea anymore as others bad effects

thanks - SWIM is researching Manske harmala extracts and will attempt soon!

This is my favorite harmala extraction tek.

It leaves you with a reasonably pure product if filtered properly.

It's also one of the more enjoyable teks because of all of the color changes that take place.

I'm looking forward to trying this tek from gibran2.

Let us know which one you choose

Once you have your harmalas, this thread describes how to get the most bang for your buck as far as consuming powdered mimosa goes.

It seems to me the consensus is that once you start feeling the powdered mimosa taking effect, vape some freebase spice and hang on.

Good luck on your future journeys!

If you’re interested in extracting alkaloids from caapi (for a more authentic experience) you can use this TEK. It’s easy, high yield, uses no solvents, and produces a very clean product.

Thank you again! The nexus is such a great resource. I will post SWIM's explorations, definitely.
