So I mixed up about a gram of some good DMT in isopropyl alcohol, and soaked some mullein in the solution. It took around a 30 hours to completely dry. After it dried it looked much browner. I started with about half a bowl, out of the glass pipe I usually use(A dry pipe btw), turned down the lights, started my music of choice, and lit the bowl. I was able to get two hits out of the cone, not enough to get any CEVs, but it gave one of the strongest body loads, I've had in a while. I waited a few hours, and loaded about twice the amount of enhanced leaf into the bowl of my water-pipe. Holy smokes(Literally ). I didn't much, just colors, and the emotion that come with smoking Spice. Changa is my new preferred method. It was just so much easier to get a active dose. The only downside, is that the Mullein kinda overwhelms the flavor of the spice(A flavor that I love). All in all Spice enhanced leaf is as amazing as everyone says. Next batch I make, I'm gonna try some passionflower and the plant matter, so I can try Spice with an MAOI.

It won't be considered changa until you burn harmalas with your spice. caapi's where it's at, but passiflora works.
good for you for smoking mullein.

So if its not changa...
Then is it DMT enhanced leaf?
I'd like to try caapi, but don't have a credit card, so buying online is kinda complicated. Passion flower I can get locally, so I think I'll try that first. Do you follow the same formula of leaf, to spice, with passion flower or caapi?

Yes, same ratio works just fine. Passionflower tastes a bit harsh, but you will most deffinately feel the difference.

Changa/enhanced leaf is the easiest way of smoking spice.

arachnid, welcome to the wonderful suburb of alchemy we call "changaland". yes, true changa has one, if not all three active harmaloids found in the caapi vine (harmine, harmaline, THH), but enhanced leaf blends that don't have any harmalas in them can be simply wonderful in their own right.

mullein was an excellent choice for your first blend! very soothing for the lungs....lavender is also excellent, as is peppermint if you are looking to take good care of your windbags...i'm sure i don't need to tell you of all the wonderful add-mixtures you can experiment with....to be honest- making different smoking blends has become quite a passion of mine! i go all out, making catchy names and even LABELS for their own vacuum containers in the freezer.

as house pointed out- caapi is probably the best harmala you could go with. all the actives are represented and caapi is, after all, AYAHUASCA...the great mother....the "soul"....or as the shipibos call it..."the cave".

let your curiosity join forces with your enthusiasm and have a ball coming up with new and interesting blends little brother! just be sure to come share your findings with all your friends here!

i just made a wonderful new blend myself last night....i call it my "DREAMER'S BLEND" and it is designed for journeys that lead directly into lucid dreams! nothing like getting into your jammies and all snuggled up in bed....lighting up and going into a beautiful hyperspace that seemlessly melds into a wonderful night's sleep complete with profound dreaming!

here's the poop:

1 gram elven parmesan cheese
1 gram blend of equal parts of the following:
*calea zacatechichi
*wild lettuce
*california poppy
*african dream herb
*blue vervain

fun fun FUN!!

LOVE AND GRATITUDE!!

*****1 gram elven parmesan cheese********

LOL. I just lost it!!!!!!!!

antrocles did you get the dreamers blend of IamShaman.com? I found (and bought) an herbal mix of Calea Zacatechichi, African Dream Herb, Blue Vervain, Wild Lettuce, and California Poppy. I look forward to trying it the next time I make changa. I also bought an ounce of Terence Mckenna Red b. Caapi vine. I was thinking of mixing the caapi and dreamers blend, half and half. Do you think this would provide enough harmaloids to be effective?

can i just ask if this is necessary?

i just keep mine in a sort of paper 'wrap' in a tin on top of the wardrobe.

will it be deteriorating because of this?

i made a batch about 6 weeks ago (40% spice 60% leaf)

the blend was 25% finely shredded caapi vine, 25% salvia, 25% calea, 25% heimia salicifolia.

i've yet to try it, (i was saving it for christmas eve in the hope i might really santa claus after all these years!) and i'd be gutted if i've managed to ruin it.

I kept mine in an amber glass vial in a drawer by my bed when it wasn't "on the road" I only had it for 6 months, but the last hit was as good as the first.

I keep all sorta of things in my fridge. Cannabis, Mushrooms, Spice, ect. I don't know if its really necessary, but I do it anyway.

Antrocles, it sounds like you've got a wonderful blend there my brother. I have yet to try changa but I know I am going to love it based on what I've read. I normally use Mugwort or Calea for my spice journeys anyways, both of which are very nice dream herbs. My question to you is how do you go about adding the African Dream Herb to the mixture? I am assuming you are talking about Silene Capensis which is a root. Is it more effective to crush in to little pieces or powder it? I would love to use it in my own changa once I get around making some. Thanks.

Love&Light&Gratitude

Smoking anything powdered is a challenge (or possibly a fool's quest, which is how I felt, after I tried ). I've had some awful non-breakthroughs with Skullcap once. Powdered herbs make powerful tea, though...

Probably shredded??
