After experimenting with pharma now for about a year Mrs. Tentacle and myself have finally found the zone. Realizing full well that different doses and dosing plans work differently for different people, I want to share mine so other folks searching for their "sweet spot" will know that this way has worked - at least for someone else.
Mrs. Tentacle โข Female 54y (61kg) - regular tobacco use - small serving of cheesy bean dip about 20 minutes prior to first cap
T-30 150mg Full Spectrum decently pure Harmala HCL (gelcap)
T-0 92mg Full Spectrum decently pure Harmala HCL (gelcap)
85mg DMT Fumarate (gelcap)
Effects: Heavy tripping (our one cat became thousands of cats all over the house-friendly of course), visuals, euphoria, easy to close eyes and "leave the building"
Onset: about T+45min
Peak: T+ 2.5hr to T+ 4hr
Duration: T+ 5-6.5hr
Pup Tentacle โข Male 44y (82kg) - fasted 3 hours prior, a wee bit of cannabis about 2 hours prior to first cap
T-30 200mg Full Spectrum decently pure Harmala HCL (gelcap)
T-0 125mg Full Spectrum decently pure Harmala HCL (gelcap)
115mg DMT Fumarate (gelcap)
T+3:10 60mg (3:4) changa 1 small GVG rip then finished it off 10 min later with a big rip
Onset: about T+1hr
Peak: about T+2hr
Duration: 2.5hr - 3.5hr if including the changa dose
Effects: 1) Mild tryptamine trip, akin to low dose shrooms but different headspace. Less bound to emotions, more cerebral. Very mild visual distortion. 2) After dose of changa definite otherworld trippiness - not very visual, but deep, good. (I should mention - I've not had much visual luck on multiple substances as of late, so lack reported here is probably more related to me than the substance.)
At about T+4hr we moved to the bedroom where the music could be louder and we could get flat. I was pretty much back to normal-ish. Mrs. Tentacle was still tripping ovaries and did for a couple hours.
In one session one of us found our low end active dose, and the other found their high end active dose. Both are points easily worked from hurray!
One question remains. Of course physiology differs, but with the doses being very close as far as (mg/kg of body weight) I would have thought the effects might not have been so disparate. As I reviewed the each of our pre trip facts, Mrs. Tentacle is a regular tobacco smoker, I am not - tobacco has MAOI properties. Mrs. Tentacle ate a little bit of fatty food right before the pharma. I could swear I've read something about a little fatty food kickstarting pharma or some such thing. Will bean dip become an integral part of my pharma recipe?!?!? Only time will tell.
