Hello there, i've been a lurker for sometime and every now and then i'll have a question that i would like answered. My question today is, has anyone smoked Changa and noticed they've lost weight? The reason i ask is, all last year i was big into Ayahuasca, pretty much was doing it a few times a week, during the time i noticed i was losing weight but was thinking it may had been the purging responsible for it. Anyways, i stopped taking Ayahuasca for the mean time for two reasons, i felt my time with her was up and plus i just couldn't take the nausea and purging anymore. Once i stopped taking Ayhuasca, i did gain back weight. But then i stumbled upon Changa, and just a few days ago started smoking on my second batch that is heavy on Harmalas, and noticed that now my face seems skinner and has more shape to it, and my manboobs (i'm overweight a little) started going down in size and my gut became a little tighter.

Now, i also smoke Cannabis with my Changa, so idk if that has anything to do with it. But like the question poses, has anyone else experienced this? To me, it almost seems like some sort of Amphetamine like weight loss effect, not the same of course but that's what my mind draws up. I've also noticed that DMT in and of itself when in lower doses with Harmalas does indeed share some sort of Amphetamine like effect in me (i should know, i'm Aspergers and was put onto stimulants as a kid).

Oh and no i haven't changed anything in my diet (sad to say but just look at what choices we have these days), not even when i took the Ayahuasca many times, i just didn't eat a few hours before an experience.

Thanks

I believe ingestion of DMT promotes release of growth hormone.

A rise in GH levels could certainly aid in weight loss and increased muscle tone..

yes, but only (or so i thought?) because changa motivates me to get active (yoga,martial arts, hiking, et al).

Well it could be the growth hormone thing. I'll just continue to look more into it.
