I think im doing something wrong and am looking for advice from more experienced people. I seem to require quite a bit of dmt for it to do anything for me, much more than the couple other people I have shared with. I am not a small guy but don't consider myself that big, about 6ft tall and ~220 pounds if it matters. I seem to require at least 300mg for anything interesting to happen. 100mg is the minimum it takes for me to notice it, but at that dose nothings happening. At 200mg it is stronger but feels like a mild dose where I just start to get any visuals. I have great luck getting very nice looking white dmt crystals so I don't believe its a quality issue. I have tried upping my dose from rue extract to the point of discomfort (up to ~8g of seed, normally ~4-5g) just to make sure I was getting enough. How much syrian rue I consume doesn't seem to change how much dmt I need, just makes afterwards less fun. I try to eat something ~30-45 minutes before the oral dose, about the time I take the syrian rue, then I eat something small and drink whichever juice looks best at the moment (cran-grape, apple, or orange juice) and take a capsule of however much dmt + vitamin C. About 45 minutes later I make myself comfortable and wait out the next 5-10 minutes for it to kick in. I have done this easily a couple dozen times and if I take enough it works just fine but it just seems like im doing it wrong. I have tried smoking it and it seems like 15-20mg is enough for mild visual hallucinations. I haven't gone for a break through while smoking yet, im not a smoker and it doesn't seem like the smoothest thing to inhale. The oral dose is my preference, but I go through way too much that way. Any advice, or am I just not a cheap date?

Your brewing the rue and not just eating the seeds, right?

Some people need much higher amounts of dmt than others, so you might just be one of those folks..You can try other things to boost it a bit though. I notice that its a bit stronger if i dont eat like 6 or more hours before dosing. Have you dissolved the dmt in the juice instead of taking it in a capsule?

You could also just smoke some dmt once the pharmahuasca kicks in. This can really boost it and keep it going for a long time after the smoked dmt wears off. Its really not harsh and hardly even noticeable at all if you smoke it in a bong or vapor genie

Yeah, some people need more: I am 5' 6", 120 pounds, and dose 8 grams syrian rue and around 250 mlgs DMT or more, so size clearly doesn't have much to do with it. And, yes, as the Cannon Man (look at me, new and already inventing nicknames for people) said, smoke some DMT to kick things in, I always recommend changa as it is pretty foolproof. I'm always nervous before that first toke, but after that first toke it's the same reaction: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH . . . . . . . .

I try to make sure I eat before taking a dose, noticed im more comfortable when something is in my stomach. I have not tried to dissolve the dmt into juice as I weigh specific amounts (50mg, 100mg, 200mg) and put it into capsules mixed with vitamin C. I do that with all my clean dmt right after making it. I have tried taking 100mg + smoking whatever dirty dmt I have but I haven't had much luck with a break through doing that.

Oh and I brew the rue and dry/bake it so I can package the powder into capsules. I am not a fan of the taste. I drank rue brew a couple times but stopped after I ran out of what I chase it with. And on that note, french vanilla coffee creamer works very well as a chaser.

Peppermint tea + Syrian Rue = the best kept secret you've never heard of.
