Harmala Freebase

Freebase harmala is a purified form of the beta-carboline alkaloids present in certain plants, such as Peganum harmala.
The main alkaloids are harmine and harmaline, known for their psychoactive properties.

Properties and mechanism of action:
Freebase harmala has the ability to inhibit the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO) in the body.
This effect allows other compounds, such as dimethyltryptamine (DMT), to be active when ingested orally or inhaled.

Uses and applications:
Traditionally used in religious rituals and shamanism in various cultures, especially in the Middle East and Africa.
Can be used to induce psychoactive experiences and altered states of consciousness.

Forms of use:
Inhalation: Can be smoked or vaporised for rapid absorption through the lungs.
Oral ingestion: Can be consumed in capsule form, mixed with liquids, or in powder form, with effects that may take longer to appear.

Ritual and ceremonial use: Consumed as part of religious or shamanic rituals, often accompanied by specific ceremonial practices.

Dosage:
Dosage varies according to the purity of the compound, individual tolerance and method of administration.
It is recommended to start with low doses and increase gradually to avoid unwanted effects or overdose.

Obtaining:
Obtained from the seeds of Peganum harmala.
The process involves extraction of the alkaloids from the seeds, followed by purification to obtain the free base form.
The exact amount of Peganum harmala seeds required to obtain 1 gram of freebase harmala can vary due to several factors, such as the concentration of alkaloids in the seeds and the efficiency of the extraction and purification process.
Peganum harmala seeds typically contain around 2-5% beta-carboline alkaloids, mainly harmine and harmaline. Suppose we take an average value of 3% for these alkaloids.
To obtain 1 gram of harmala freebase, which is a purified form of the alkaloids, we would need to extract approximately 3% of the total weight of the seeds in alkaloids.
Therefore, approximately 33.33 grams of Peganum harmala seeds with an alkaloid content of 3% would be needed to produce 1 gram of harmala freebase.
