We usually refer to taking freebase DMT together with either extracted harmalas or rue tea as
pharmahuasca or
pharma in short. The good news about pharma is that it is much more precise to dose. The bad news is that pharma usually lasts shorter than aya because your digestive tract can readily absorb the alkaloids. Your friends most likely had high doses which is the cause for uncomfortable experiences, not the mimosa alkaloids.
Dosing 50mg of DMT for a first time of pharma is what most people would recommend taking. If after an hour you feel it's not working you can always dose more DMT. I advice you to avoid eating the DMT directly as it burns and is very uncomfortable for your stomach. Dissolve your DMT in some orange juice or lemon juice. Lemon juice works, but it's horrible to drink and once the purge comes you'll regret it. Drop your DMT in the OJ, stir and let sit for a 5 to 15 minutes while occasionally stirring so the DMT is properly dissolved.
The orange juice contains citric acids which will react with your freebase DMT to form DMT-citrate, which is much less harsh on your mouth, throat and digestive tract.
To dose simple drink your b. caapi or syrian rue tea and after 20 minutes you can drink your DMT-OJ.
