How to write an informational article to convey a random idea:

  1. write out a working title
  2. write out a bullet point list of all the ideas within this that will need to be explained (preferably but not necessarily in order)
  3. go through this bullet point list and write out sentences to add in more detail, they do not have to be well constructed

2014-03-29 21:43:53 lolwut|PJosepherum but i realised today that inhibiting MAOs is a really dirty hack 2014-03-29 21:44:01 @oskykins what do you mean? 2014-03-29 21:44:04 -- lolwut|PJosepherum is now known as PJosepherum 2014-03-29 21:45:52 PJosepherum MAO-A and -B break down monamines; this includes alkaloids like dmt, nicotine, ethanol, opioids, etc, but also includes endogenous hormones. because the chemicals are not being inactivated, they build up in the axons 2014-03-29 21:45:52 [21:45] 2014-03-29 21:46:00 PJosepherum causing, basically, friction 2014-03-29 21:46:13 PJosepherum hence overheating 2014-03-29 21:46:23 PJosepherum i have such a bad headache 2014-03-29 21:47:45 PJosepherum build up of epinephrine i think, or maybe the GABAergic system made me very twitchy. I was essentially in REM while awake lol 2014-03-29 21:47:55 @oskykins how much rue did you take? 2014-03-29 21:47:57 PJosepherum very disphoric though because of the stress 2014-03-29 21:48:41 PJosepherum erm, i pulverised ~3g with a hammer then brewed for 3 hours 2014-03-29 21:49:00 PJosepherum in less than 20ml water 2014-03-29 21:50:21 @oskykins aww ): when i took 5g grounded up, i had no negative body load 2014-03-29 21:50:58 PJosepherum brewing the harmala in water allowed for dissolution of the alkaloids, which increased their bioavailability i think 2014-03-29 21:51:19 PJosepherum whole seeds were inactive, shorter duration of brewing gave spotty results 2014-03-29 21:51:25 @oskykins awesome. :D how are you brewing it? 2014-03-29 21:52:05 @oskykins do you get extreme stimulation initially from rue and then extreme sedation at the end? 2014-03-29 21:52:17 PJosepherum stir harmala and enough boiling water to cover the solids in a mug, leave to extract 2014-03-29 21:52:26 PJosepherum both simultaniously 2014-03-29 21:52:33 PJosepherum simultaneously 2014-03-29 21:53:05 PJosepherum either will appear more prevalent in alternation 2014-03-29 21:53:51 PJosepherum so like, it began as sedation with a pleasant glow as the axons filled up, then certain receptors were hyperactivated causing stimulation 2014-03-29 21:54:47 PJosepherum it fluctuated. there was a sense of fullness throughout my body lol. distortions i think are not intrinsic to the effects of DMT 2014-03-29 21:55:19 PJosepherum harmala causes distortions by hyperactivating neural circuits via flooding of axons 2014-03-29 21:55:34 PJosepherum which can cause damage 2014-03-29 21:55:45 PJosepherum and unnecessary stress 2014-03-29 21:57:05 PJosepherum if harmala supposedly stops being selective for MOA-A at 5g+ seeds, i wonder what preparation "5g of seeds" is lol 2014-03-29 21:57:35 PJosepherum long extracts of low quantities of harmala is probably safe and fun 2014-03-29 21:57:36 @oskykins wait can you explain the brewing process again? i put grounded rue in a mug, pour boiling water onto it from an electric kettle, stir it, and then what? 2014-03-29 21:59:10 PJosepherum then wait for the alkaloids to dissolve into solution. there is a concentration gradient between the solids and the liquid; with time, the gradient homogenises so there will be the same concentration of alkaloids in the solid seeds as in the solvent 2014-03-29 22:00:05 PJosepherum so 3 hours at room temperature is ample time; citric/acetic acid will speed up the dissolution 2014-03-29 22:00:50 PJosepherum 30 minutes has been my fastest effective duration 2014-03-29 22:02:04 @oskykins thanks pjose :DD i am going to try this in the next week or so 2014-03-29 22:02:04 [22:02] 2014-03-29 22:02:13 @oskykins what did you mean by extract though? 2014-03-29 22:03:04 PJosepherum it is the beta-carbolines which are responsible for the effects of harmala alkaloids. ergo, they can be separated from the seed matter by dissolution into a solvent 2014-03-29 22:03:17 PJosepherum soaking in water is essentially the extraction method 2014-03-29 22:03:20 PJosepherum brewing 2014-03-29 22:04:05 PJosepherum same as tea bags; the content of the plant material infuses throughout the solvent 2014-03-29 22:05:12 PJosepherum the gastrointestinal system cannot absorb fibrous seed matter; instead it operates on the mechanism of dissolution and absorption 2014-03-29 22:06:02 PJosepherum stomach is full of liquid which soaks the plant matter, then the intestines mechanically press the material to squeeze out the solvent and any dissolved substances 2014-03-29 22:06:49 PJosepherum er, but items only stay in the stomach for a limited period, so internal brewing time is limited ultimately. this is why external brewing is more reliable 2014-03-29 22:07:01 PJosepherum the material is already in solution so can skip the internal soak stage 2014-03-29 22:07:07 PJosepherum and go straight to absorption 2014-03-29 22:07:24 PJosepherum 3g for 3 hours was too strong 2014-03-29 22:08:00 PJosepherum lol i've been saying preganum for days, it's peganum xD 2014-03-29 22:09:21 @oskykins lol hopefully i can save some money by brewing the rue 2014-03-29 22:09:33 PJosepherum ok, so beta-carboline content is between 2-7% depending on quality. average is 3%. 3% of 3g is maybe 30mg harmala alkaloids 2014-03-29 22:09:33 @oskykins i'm going to try this this week 2014-03-29 22:10:01 PJosepherum dude, low dose peganum can totally save money on drugs. if you're careful, coadministration can result in huge potentiation 2014-03-29 22:10:18 PJosepherum of i expect all psychoactives 2014-03-29 22:10:35 @oskykins what drugs combine well with rue? i know 4-aco/shrooms and LSD do 2014-03-29 22:11:28 PJosepherum anything euphoric or reinforcing will combine beautifully; opioids i bet will intensify an unreasonable amount 2014-03-29 22:11:47 PJosepherum ethanol was enhanced 2014-03-29 22:11:57 PJosepherum erm, stimulants become uncomfortable 2014-03-29 22:12:10 PJosepherum twitchy and anxious; caffeine and nicotine both exhibit this response 2014-03-29 22:12:39 PJosepherum it's dangerous to experiment because of the beta-carbolines' clearance half-life 2014-03-29 22:13:47 PJosepherum you could feel absolutely fine running on harmala + endogenous hormones, then experience several hours of hyperensitive crisis following administration of anything external 2014-03-29 22:14:14 PJosepherum this is why food is dangerous with maois; you're disabling a major safety feature 2014-03-29 22:14:39 PJosepherum so it is not ideal to play trial and error with it lol 2014-03-29 22:14:43 PJosepherum hence dirty hack 2014-03-29 22:15:11 PJosepherum i would like to find a safer way to sustain the activation of dmt 2014-03-29 22:15:54 PJosepherum i think harmala is responsible for the distortions i experience too. dmt isn't about visual glitches, it's about detail 2014-03-29 22:16:14 @oskykins ahh, i'm going to try combining it with LSD next 2014-03-29 22:16:16 PJosepherum dmt enhances clarity, it doesn't distort senses 2014-03-29 22:16:29 @oskykins thanks for all the advice dude 2014-03-29 22:16:37 @oskykins i'm saving this convo 2014-03-29 22:16:57 @oskykins so i remember 2014-03-29 22:16:59 PJosepherum be careful, start small. both of those drugs have long half lives. i expect LSD will be unbelievably potent with harmala lol. imagine salvia on it :| 2014-03-29 22:17:51 @oskykins yeah, josif told me it makes it more potent and changes the visuals to more mystical themes 2014-03-29 22:17:51 [22:17] 2014-03-29 22:21:01 <-- PJosepherum (PJosepherum@user/PJosepherum) has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds) 2014-03-29 22:21:09 --> PJosepherum (PJosepherum@Snoonet-06e.1lv.7o2lm4.IP) has joined #psychonautwiki 2014-03-29 22:21:10 <-- PJosepherum (PJosepherum@Snoonet-06e.1lv.7o2lm4.IP) has quit (Changing host) 2014-03-29 22:21:10 --> PJosepherum (PJosepherum@user/PJosepherum) has joined #psychonautwiki 2014-03-29 22:21:20 PJosepherum so i believe 3g peganum contains ~30mg beta carboline alkaloids. these can be separated further into their specific structures. harmine, harmaline, harmane, harmalol, etc, which all offer varying affinity for MAO-A and -B 2014-03-29 22:22:21 PJosepherum optimally, the smallest possible quantity of alkaloids should be determined as to reduce side effects 2014-03-29 22:22:44 PJosepherum rather, the smallest required quantity of alkaloids 2014-03-29 22:22:50 PJosepherum 30mg is too much 2014-03-29 22:23:56 PJosepherum the sum of downstream effects of variations of the beta-carboline structure results in a wide effectivity range 2014-03-29 22:24:33 PJosepherum the sum of harmalas seem to inhibit MAO-A at lower doses, and becomes non-selective at higher doses 2014-03-29 22:25:15 PJosepherum though of course, not all of them will select for -A at all times, since the system is chaotic 2014-03-29 22:26:03 PJosepherum i'm not sure yet what the different mechanisms and effects of MAO-A and MAO-B are, and the result of inhibiting eah 2014-03-29 22:26:04 PJosepherum each 2014-03-29 22:26:26 PJosepherum i need a pure MAO-A ligand and a pure MAO-B ligand to experiment with 2014-03-29 22:27:19 PJosepherum i can't find any dose information for pure harmala alkaloids. shulgin recorded some data though 2014-03-29 22:28:33 PJosepherum "harmaline; DOSAGE : 150 - 300 mg, orally" 2014-03-29 22:28:34 PJosepherum wtf 2014-03-29 22:29:20 PJosepherum "I feel that this compound is unlikely to be attractive to most people, as its major effects are an intoxication with a clouding of thoughts and some disruption of musical relationships." great description 2014-03-29 22:30:09 PJosepherum well actually no that's a pretty basic assumption 2014-03-29 22:31:07 PJosepherum though harmalas cause distortions which are distracting, the peripheral effects can be both euphoric and dysphoric 2014-03-29 22:31:18 PJosepherum depending on external variables and preparation 2014-03-29 22:31:34 PJosepherum but again, mao inhibition is realyl dangerous rofl 2014-03-29 22:33:02 PJosepherum but why am i experiencing mad negative effects from 30mg mixed alkaloids if shulgin reported safety at 150mg harmaline :/ 2014-03-29 22:33:02 [22:33] 2014-03-29 22:33:15 PJosepherum well he didn't report safety, but didn't report unsafety lol 2014-03-29 22:33:31 @oskykins wow you know a lot about this 2014-03-29 22:33:48 @oskykins you can help me breakdown syrian rue 2014-03-29 22:33:51 @oskykins for the wiki 2014-03-29 22:34:42 PJosepherum definitely! it needs expanding. the current lore is way too dangerous, not enough emphasis on extraction and safety 2014-03-29 22:35:11 PJosepherum understanding the mechanism allows for mitigation of negative consequences 2014-03-29 22:35:22 @oskykins yeah, you could write an extraction guide too 2014-03-29 22:36:13 PJosepherum good idea 2014-03-29 22:36:19 PJosepherum (with 500 mg, orally) "I took a half gram of pure synthetic harmaline after fasting for over a day. The resulting nausea was greatly attenuated after I vomited. At this dose there were intense and annoying visual disturbances, and complete collapse of motor co-ordination. I could barely stagger to the bathroom, and for safety's sake locomoted by crawling. Tracers and weird visual ripplings disturbed my sight with open eyes. With eyes clo 2014-03-29 22:36:19 PJosepherum sed, there was eidetic imagery. It had no symbolic significance, just bothersome disjointed sequences that lacked a relevant theme. They proceeded to transform so slowly (in comparison to the speed of my thought) that they were predictable and boring. Throughout the experience I just lay hoping it would end soon. It did not seem as though I had encountered intrapsychic material which was being expressed through somatic symptoms. Rather, 2014-03-29 22:36:20 PJosepherum I felt that I was struggling to metabolize a chemical disruption of my physiological functions. Although the session was not enjoyable, I was satisfied at having educated myself about the effect produced by a penalty dose of this compound." 2014-03-29 22:36:44 PJosepherum i felt this at 30mg 2014-03-29 22:37:12 PJosepherum and probably lower doses, from past extractions which were less efficient 2014-03-29 22:37:14 PJosepherum :/ 2014-03-29 22:37:18 PJosepherum massive conflict of data 2014-03-29 22:38:03 PJosepherum perhaps the variety of beta-carbolines results in potentiation via synergy 2014-03-29 22:38:31 PJosepherum whereas pure harmaline requires more force 2014-03-29 22:38:36 PJosepherum woah xD 2014-03-29 22:39:26 PJosepherum i don't feel safe pushing it, but i really want to know how microdoses of harmalas feel 2014-03-29 22:40:52 PJosepherum i also think abstinence from external chemical influence like food or drugs is necessary for an ensured pleasant experience 2014-03-29 22:41:00 @oskykins yeah, i know. xD this sounds unsafe 2014-03-29 22:41:09 @oskykins but i'll try it for science 2014-03-29 22:41:32 PJosepherum very. lol. if too much messengers build up in the axons, they can damage receptors 2014-03-29 22:42:25 PJosepherum receptors are hyperactivated, causing downstream distortions. the neuron mitigates the magnified signal by reducing the number of receptors presented on the membrane 2014-03-29 22:42:29 PJosepherum within the axon 2014-03-29 22:43:27 @oskykins lol shit 2014-03-29 22:44:27 PJosepherum i can't discern which part of my eyes hurt and why. i think it's either a central headache from axon flooding or strained ocular muscles from the REM 2014-03-29 22:44:45 PJosepherum harmalas make me very twitchy 2014-03-29 22:45:02 PJosepherum another distortion; bugs in muscular signalling 2014-03-29 22:45:30 PJosepherum caused by either GABA or epinephrine 2014-03-29 22:45:44 PJosepherum probably involves both 2014-03-29 22:46:25 @oskykins how much mimosa again? 2014-03-29 22:46:38 PJosepherum 3g @ ~0.5% DMT 2014-03-29 22:46:51 PJosepherum so 15mg? 2014-03-29 22:47:01 PJosepherum 15mg dmt, 30mg harmalas 2014-03-29 22:47:12 PJosepherum the dmt was very active 2014-03-29 22:47:33 PJosepherum even at 5mg, i have activated dmt with random doses of harmala 2014-03-29 22:49:00 PJosepherum harmalas potentiate the effect of consumed monamines because they inhibit their deactivation of monamines 2014-03-29 22:49:00 [22:49] 2014-03-29 22:50:09 PJosepherum next experiment is to figure out how low i can dose harmalas to activate dmt 2014-03-29 22:51:53 PJosepherum is my math right? 3% total alkaloids, 3g / 3% == 90mg! not 30 2014-03-29 22:52:10 PJosepherum shulgin's data makes more sense now :) 2014-03-29 22:52:35 PJosepherum so 1g @ 3% is 30mg. this is my next step. with abstinence from stimulants 2014-03-29 22:53:22 PJosepherum sedatives are better tolerated but to avoid negative effects, i'll fast before consumption 2014-03-29 22:53:44 PJosepherum and post consumption until the harmalas wear off 2014-03-29 22:53:58 PJosepherum brb! :) 2014-03-29 22:54:28 PJosepherum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDGEs0eVCAE 2014-03-29 23:00:00 [22:54] 2014-03-29 23:01:28 PJosepherum i should really rest 2014-03-29 23:01:34 PJosepherum and recover 2014-03-29 23:01:37 PJosepherum at least i didn't die xD 2014-03-29 23:01:38 PJosepherum lol 2014-03-29 23:01:45 PJosepherum again 2014-03-29 23:02:09 @oskykins lol that was you almost dying? 2014-03-29 23:02:24 @oskykins wait when did you die 2014-03-29 23:02:32 PJosepherum i know to be extra extra careful now. it's really not a good idea for the internet lore to suggest such a basic preparation of peganum harmala 2014-03-29 23:02:52 PJosepherum almost die, i haven't actually died yet 2014-03-29 23:02:59 PJosepherum because i continue to exist 2014-03-29 23:03:18 PJosepherum every time i've tried harmalas so far, i've experienced loads of negative effects 2014-03-29 23:03:53 PJosepherum punctured GI tract, burning out my axons 2014-03-29 23:04:01 PJosepherum twitching, eye strain 2014-03-29 23:04:16 PJosepherum nausea, coughing 2014-03-29 23:04:35 PJosepherum it's felt very violent 2014-03-29 23:05:51 PJosepherum but i seem to survive. the only way to relieve the tension was to meditate and do yoga 2014-03-29 23:06:28 PJosepherum and even that was oly slightly effective 2014-03-29 23:07:05 PJosepherum modification of DMT's structure could result in the goal of prolonging activation 2014-03-29 23:07:30 PJosepherum add protective moieties rather than disable an endogenous neural safety feature 2014-03-29 23:07:35 PJosepherum hmm 2014-03-29 23:07:42 PJosepherum much safer 2014-03-29 23:08:00 PJosepherum 5-MeO-DMT is a lot more potent 2014-03-29 23:08:06 PJosepherum but still short lived 2014-03-29 23:08:45 --> DMT_Entity|8509 (DMT_Entity8@Snoonet-ihf.p32.e9tvh6.IP) has joined #psychonautwiki 2014-03-29 23:09:13 PJosepherum i'm not sure what structural changes could result in prolonged activation, but this would be the best route for sustaining the cognitive clarity of DMT 2014-03-29 23:09:15 <-- DMT_Entity|8509 (DMT_Entity8@Snoonet-ihf.p32.e9tvh6.IP) has quit (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client) 2014-03-29 23:10:22 PJosepherum sedatives may actually reduce negative effects of harmalas 2014-03-29 23:10:35 PJosepherum i expect a benzo would reduce the stress significantly 2014-03-29 23:10:50 PJosepherum opioids would just mask it 2014-03-29 23:11:59 PJosepherum anyways, thanks for the discussion osca, surgeon, i'm gonna sleep for a bit and recover :)
