Combinations - Is it Safe to Mix Mushroom Chocolate with Tetrahydroharmine (a MAOI)?

[Explorer2012]

AFOAF was considering mixing a low dose of mushrooms with tetrahydroharmine. Would this be worth it?

AFOAF understands that your supposed to take MAOIs before the main substance, but he is curious about this.


If it isn't plausible then AFOAF will just take some before.


Any input?

According to another website, which I shant name, they had the dose as just under a third the usual one when using an MAOI.

I may have not been clear.


AFOAF is curious about whether or not eating chocolate with a MAOI would be safe.

And if so, could the MAOI be combined with the mushrooms inside of a chocolate and eaten at once? Or would this not give the MAOI enough time to effect the experience?

Be careful if you're using good chocolate as the theobromine can react poorly with the MAOI and make one uncomfortable, though there is little chance of it being lethal. though 3 ounces of 80% probably won't be a real issue, it might be worth trying that with out the mushrooms first.

It's a sin to mix mushrooms with commercial wax chocolate from Hershy's or Cadbury, the blood of the slaves used to harvest it will taint your tripp. Make sure to get some good 70%+ cacao, fair trade stuff from Central America, preferably a bar with chili in it. I recently had a bar called "Firecraker" with salt,chili, and poprocks in it. While a good bar of chocolate may be the cost of a cheap meal, it's one of the cheapest luxery items out there, the very best chocolate is FAR FAR FAR cheaper then the best wine or cheese or cigar...

OK, well if I can find some fair trade chocolate; would 10 grams be a small enough amount to prevent the chance of an adverse reaction?

Ah, I was under the impression that you were buying premade mushroom chocolate. Didn't know you were making your own.

From what I've gathered white chocolate would work out well. It only has cocoa butter in it, no cocoa solids (unlike real chocolate).

That means it would have little to no caffeine or theobromine
