hi tanjent,
my iguana has made pyschotria and rue extractions on a couple of occasions and had wonderful yet inexpressible effects.
He had done some reading on MAOIs and foods to avoid etc - pretty useless he considers. With the rue/dmt extracts he fasts for the day before taking. I think there is more up-to-date info out there about MAOIs and food contraindications - perhaps not as scary as one might be lead to believe; although if you go to some of the more specialist ayahuasca pages you will find descriptions of aya rituals (and what food the initate ate beforehand etc - quite bland foods). Oh and I actually have a shitload of moclobemide tablets and I'd be really interested to hear other's thoughts on a pharmahuasca - I've already read the only posts here that the search bought up. My iguana tends to prefer the rue as he feels it brings more than just a chemical inhibition to the experience, but he'd be very interested to generate a discussion on this. Rev - care to expand on that AFAOF story re rue & orally active dmt being scary?
I'm interested in re-reading Rev's thread about rue extracts combined with orally active DMT being scary - sounds like my iguana's last adventure...
tanjent, dunno if that helps you any but you are welcome to email
