Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) 80 grs.

Some people use passionflower to enhance the effects of mushrooms or other psychedelics. It is an MAO-inhibitor, but not potent enough to act as an ayahuasca analogue.

Use

Steep 2 grams of the chopped herb in 150 ml of hot water for half an hour. Drink this up to 3 - 4 times a day. To make a tea with strong sedative and slightly hallucinogenic effects, use 15 grams of the herb.

The powder can be mixed with juice, water, yogurt or custard. In general, one teaspoon is enough.

Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs):

DMT(N-dimethyltryptamine) is a tryptamine alkaloid present in numerous plants such as Mimosa hostilis, Diplopterys cabrerana, Desmanthus illinoensis, Psychotria viridis and Phalaris arundinacea, is not effective when ingested orally. This is because it is broken down in the body by the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO). MAO is an important enzyme that destroys certain chemical compounds, such as drugs and poisons.

MAO enzyme inhibitors interfere with the action of the enzyme and stop the breakdown of chemical compounds such as DMT, making it effective when taken orally. This is the fundamental principle of the traditional visionary medicine Ayahuasca.

With the right proportions, hallucinogenic mushrooms and other psychedelic substances can be used together with MAO inhibitors. By mixing these substances with MAO inhibitors, the effect will last longer and be more intense.

MAO inhibitors should be used with great caution, otherwise normal foods can become poisonous. The results can be dangerous: headaches, nausea, loss of consciousness and death. In the shamanic tradition, MAO inhibitors are used after at least one day of fasting.

List of substances

They should not be taken at least 24 hours before and after taking an MAOI:

Prohibited Foods: avocado, caviar and substitutes, chocolate, sausages, yeasts, beans, liver, dried figs, dried and pickled fish, bananas, cheeses, coffee, beer, alcoholic beverages....
Recommended foods: Cereals, pasta, rice, eggs and legumes.

No other drugs, whether natural or synthetic, should be ingested, as many interfere with MAOIs and could have very serious consequences.

The combination of MAOIs with other substances may cause a hypertensive crisis (sudden and extreme rise in blood pressure) which may lead to the rupture of an artery in the brain, i.e. a cerebrovascular accident.
