This is a sensitive and personal topic, many don't care to talk about their journeys
I'm one of those people. Description is always lacking, and it seems too personal to share.

to summarize:
I feel very comfortable chilling in rooms with my elf-bros. Never a negative experience with them. Always a pleasure.
i'm ready to take it to the next level with pharma, and i don't know what to expect.

i have heard of those who awake in alien landscapes filled with beautiful architecture.
Reuniting with old forgotten friends... being aboard alien spacecraft... etc.
Is this level of experience typical with a 200mg dose? What information should i keep with me in order to have a positive experience

Certainly.. but i would NOT recommend starting off with anywhere even near 200mg for your first time. Everyone is different and you should work up from a much smaller amount first, like 40 or 50mg (even that is strong for some)..100mg of dmt orally is too much for me most of the time

I'd agree with universecannon that dose is an important thing to consider, as a too strong dose of ayahuasca will last much longer than smoking it, and being stuck in a bad situation for too long can be maddening. But, I also think that tripping in general is an art, and if you've been painting masterpieces with the spice, then you'll probably be a natural with the brew as well, even with a heavy first attempt. And for me, ayahuasca is generally a softer, more loving experience, and it's so much easier to integrate and remember the journey because of the extended time. Much more valuable overall, in my opinion.

I agree.. Personally Im one of the people that need very high doses for pharma, but I think you have to find for yourself how it goes. Being experienced with smoked dmt, or dosaging with other psychedelics is no indication how much you'll need for pharma.. So start low, like 30-50mg, you can always take more later on (even the same day a couple of hours later).

How are you planning on taking it, dissolved in juice, "bombing" by wrapping in smoking paper, capsules with hole poked, or? What about harmala dosage and source?

If you're looking for a positive experience, 200mg isn't the route to go. Start with around 50mg. The good news is that if you achieve sufficient MAO inhibition, and after you've taken the pharma it's either not working, or disappointingly weak and vague, you can simply load up the pipe with some DMT which is practically 100% guaranteed to kick things up to the next level (or maybe blast past a couple levels) for at least an hour. If you feel like more as its effects start to wear off, simply take another hit and you'll be back in deep space in no time. Dosing low and using vaped DMT to work your way into hyperspace is a much more reliable way of dosing than to try taking more and more which may make you more nauseous anyway.
