First - why does the dose range vary so much? is it a factor of metabolism, and if someone has a fast/good metabolism do they need more or less DMT?
In addition to the wise advise that gammagore already gave you, I wanted to chime in on this one topic specifically. "Biological Metabolism" is the short & skinny to sum it up. The biological factor is really that everyone has different levels of MAO in their bodies. MAO's are a metabolizer, but not in the traditional sense of "metabolism" (i.e. Just because you have a high physical metabolism, does not mean you have a high or low level of MAO. They are exclusive of one another.) This is a scientifically proven fact, and it is believed to account for different levels of introversion / extroversion in our personalities, as well as play a large role in depressive or manic behavior.
So, what this means is that the dose you need to "zone in on" is the MAOI qty (not so much the qty of spice). This can be risky if you find that you need high levels of MAOI's, because too high of levels of MAOI's can cause some pretty uncomfortable, or even dangerous side effects. With that said, it sounds like you need to work with the MAOI dose slowly. Start at the lower end of the MAOI dose, and gradually bump your MAOI dose by say 25mg at a time, until you're actually feeling some effect from the MAOI's. Once you begin to feel some "warming, happy" effects from the MAOI's, you've likely hit your threshold. At that point, take your spice dose (say 75mg as a low - mid range dose for
pharma), and you should have a noticeable to moderately strong experience.
In summary, the MAO level in your body is the first player when it comes to pharma success (imho), and finding what level of inhibition of those MAO's works for you is the first key. Once you isolate that factor, then you can keep that level as a constant, and begin increasing spice levels as you feel it's needed. Does that make sense?
One last thing is that MAOI's are fine to be taken in a capsule, but your spice should not be capsulized if possible (i.e. drink it or chase it with a solution. There are reasons for this too, but I won't get into it here. Ask if you want to know more on this, and I'll explain my theory.
I hoped that helps a little. Ask more if I didn't explain clearly.
Peace and good luck!

…is DMT dangerous? The answer is only if you fear death by astonishment… [crowd laughter]… Remember how you laughed when this possibility was raised… a moment will come that will wipe the smile right off your face.
