Abstract

Summarized are psychonautic bioassays (human self-experiments) of Pharmepena - crystalline 5-methoxy-N, N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT; O-Me-bufotenine), at times combined with crystalline b-Carboline (harmaline or harmine). These substances were administered via intranasal, sublingual and oral routes, by way of pharmacological modeling of diverse South American shamanic inebriants (principally the snuffs epena/nyakwana, prepared from barks of diverse species of Virola.) Intranasal, sublingual and oral psychoactivity of 5-MeO-DMT, and the 1967 Holmstedt-Lindgren hypothesis of the parica-effect - intranasal potentiation of tryptamines by concomitant administration of monoamine-oxidase-inhibiting (MAOI) b-Carboline from stems of Banisteriopsis caapi admixed with the snuffs - have been confirmed by some 17 psychonautic bioassays. Salient phytochemical and psychonautic literature is reviewed.
