thank you

looks like I got a decent ammount precipitated from russian olive..so yeah..hope it's not too toxic!

.i've 'exposed myself ' to up to 300mg Harman (from acacia) on a few occasions..i don't think it's toxic at these levels, but it is a very potent MAOI, or so it seems..more likely to set off dietary amines etc (which would create potential toxicity)..i have also exposed myself to harman via a few Passifloras..'im still here..see the passifloras thread..

and thanks In Motion..!

I've 'exposed myself' to up to 700mg Harman on a few occasions and all I got out of it was an arrest for public indecency and a couple of restraining orders. I guess a boardroom meeting was the wrong place to try this.


On a serious note, I believe Harman is the active MAOI in tobacco so all smokers will have quite a lot of experience with it, aware or unaware.
