DM Turner- The Esseential psychedelic guide

egion. I have only recently begun experimenting with ingested DMT, and
these experiences are described later in the chapter DMT ~ Water Spirit.
The Harmala alkaloids also intensify smoked DMT, and I have described
this method of administration below.
Prior to smoking or ingesting the DMT one should wait until they are
feeling the effects of the Harmala alkaloids. This will prevent the DMT
from being metabolized prematurely. (See chapter on Harmala alkaloids.)
Harmala only slightly intensifies 5-MeO-DMT. Therefore, one still needs to
smoke 5 mg. or so to get a powerful high. It does, however, prolong the
normally 2-3 minute peak to 10-20 minutes, with the total experience
lasting between 40 minutes and two hours.
N,N-DMT is significantly intensified by Harmala. Smoking 15-20 mg. of
N,N-DMT while on Harmala will produce an experience as intense as
smoking 40 mg. of N,N-DMT by itself. This is especially useful because it's
difficult to smoke 40 mg. of harsh tasting DMT. Harmala will also extend
the N,N-DMT experience to about 30 to 40 minutes total.
The high of both types of DMT while on Harmala is a much slower process.
I don't feel "blown out of my mind" quite so quickly. The focus of the
experience becomes personally involved, rather than the feeling that I'm a
voyager in some alien realm. I tend to experience an increased awareness of
my mind, body, and subtle energy. I often feel that my body and Being are
"embraced" by an ancient earth spirit. And this earth spirit is instructing me
to become aware of, and open up, many lines of communication that exist
between my mind, body and the extemal world. In combination with
Harmala the DMT high does not "disappear," leaving me suddenly back in
normal reality. I have more time to absorb the experience and make it a part
of me.
The combination of 5-MeO-DMT and Harmala produces the most powerful
experience I have ever felt. This tends to be both physically and mentally
overwhelming. I've had some good journeys with this combination but I've
also become violently nauseous and experienced extreme discomfort, and
I've witnessed other people go through sheer misery. One friend who
ingested 5-MeO + Harmala felt he had entered into an ill-intentioned pact
with a spirit, and while trying to fight his way out of the pact, went into
convulsions and bit the inside of his mouth. Since there is such a high
percentage of intensely unpleasant experiences with this combination I've
recently reverted to taking 5-MeO-DMT alone, and most acquaintances of
mine who've used this combination have done likewise.
Some users feel that the DMT high is "warbly" in combination with
