The seeds of the Syrian rue (also esfand or harmel) have been used ritually for thousands of years in many cultures from the Middle East. The seeds and roots are still used as folk medicine, spiritual guidance and especially in the West as a psychedelic smart drug. This extract is 10x more potent than the seeds by themselves and thanks to the powdered form it is easy to dissolve.
- Syrian rue extract - 10x stronger then seeds
- Contains powerful alkaloids: harmaline and harmine
- Duration of the effects: 5-8 hours (dependent on dose)
- Works as an MAO-inhibitor in Ayahuasca-brews, but also active without additions
Using Syrian Rue
This extract is mainly mixed with other substances and is usually not taken immediately. Some users experiment with vaping or drinking (tea) the extract. This is possible, but be careful with dosages.
For vaping, take the concentrate oven. Use vape wool (recommended products) with vaporizers that are only suitable for dry herbs. Choose a vape temperature of 100 to 150 ° C.
For tea: let the tea steep for 5 minutes. Also drink the powder. This is easier by stirring well.
Syrian rue and DMT
Syrian rue contains a collection of substances that prevent the naturally quick degradation of DMT. DMT is a natural substance which lets you trip heavily, but with oral use it is degraded directly by enzymes in the liver. To prevent that and therefore activate DMT for oral use, Syrian rue is used.
This extract is therefore mainly mixed with other active ingredients and usually not taken immediately. Some users experiment with vaping or drinking the extract (tea). This is possible, but pay attention to dosages.
Syrian rue and Ayahuasca
The plant contains the alkaloids harmine, harmane and the most important, harmaline. Because Syrian rue (peganum harmala) works as an MAO-inhibitor, both the extract and seeds are used in the tripping-brew Ayahuasca.
Traditionally Ayahuasca is made from the banisteriopsis caapi vines and leaves from the chacruna (psychotria viridis), but in theory you can mix any two components to create an Ayahuasca-like brew. Ayahuasca analog (or anahuasca) is how this brew is also called.
Syrian rue Effects and Dose
The one question is of course if Syrian rue also works without DMT. The answer is yes. Syrian rue seeds and extracts also work without the addition of other plant extracts. This extract approximately 10 times more potent than the seeds. You will need 10 times less of it for the desired effect.
- Microdosing: 0,04 grams (without additions)
- Low dose: 0,2 to 0,3 grams for combining with, for example, chacruna
- Normal dose: 0,5 grams (without additions)
- High dose: 1 gram (without additions)
Just Syrian rue
After taking 0,5 grams of just Syrian rue 10x extract you can feel intoxicated for 45 to 75 minutes. You will become relaxed, slightly unstable and you will have diminished sensitivity in the body. This can cause a feeling of dizziness. With a low dose you will see shimmer, colors and shapes from the corners of your eyes. With closed eyes and in a dark room these become more intense and will fill your entire visual field. The shapes can change into faces or places, but real hallucinations emerge with higher doses. Sound also alters. Sound will become somewhat duller. In addition, thoughts become clouded and you can feel nauseous for a whole day. The higher the dose, the more and longer you can feel nauseous.
At a higher dose of 1 gram 10x extract, you can experience a sense of levitating. That can develop into and outer body experience, but that is unlikely with just Syrian rue. You can however experience loss of ego and you will react quicker on impulses than you are used to, because time seems to slow down.
Little is know about microdosing of Syrian rue. Some experiences talk about a more relaxed feel, being yourself more and being more acutely aware of your surroundings. With a microdose we mean a dose that will not hinder in day to day life and you can continue to function normally. For Syrian rue 10x extract that means a dose of about 0,04 grams.
Setting
As described earlier, the best way to take Syrian rue is in a low dose in a dimly light room (no candle light because of fire safety!) In the darkness it is easier to see lovely shapes and colors that will stay hidden otherwise.
