DM Turner- The Esseential psychedelic guide

Harmala and lacks the "Diamond Consciousness" of DMT alone. Since
Harmala slows the onset of 5-MeO-DMT so drastically, I've found that I
lose much of the brilliance that can be experienced using 5-MeO-DMT
alone. However, I don't find that Harmala produces any degradation of the
N.N. DMT experience. N,N-DMT is like a rocket to another dimension,
with or without the Harmala alkaloids.

HARMALA ALKALOIDS
LINK TO THE
ANCIENT SPIRITS
INTENSITY: 1 to 2. Harmala alkaloids are usually not potent psychedelics
when taken alone. Their main use is to potentiate other psychedelics.
MATERIAL:
The Harmala alkaloids: harmine, harmaline, tetrahydroharmine... are found
in a variety of plants. The most notorious of these is Banisteriopsis caapi, a
vine native to the Amazon region which is an active ingredient of the
"Ayahuasca" or "Yage" brews of the Native South Americans. Reports from
Gracie and Zarkov's Notes From the Underground and Jonathan Ott's
Pharmacotheon indicate that the bark of Banisteriopsis caapi contains
between .2 and 1.3% mixed Harmala alkaloids.
The most concentrated source of Harmala alkaloids is the seed of Peganum
harmala, commonly known as Syrian Rue. This plant grows in many areas
of the world: Africa, the Middle East, India, South America, Mexico, and
Southern U.S. The seeds contain from 2 to 7 % mixed Harmala alkaloids.
The majority of my experiments with Harmala have been done with Syrian
Rue, this being the most potent and readily available source of Harmala.
