LSD + MAOI = Redic

Haha, whats good everybody? Just wanted to share my experience with you all.
Recently, I dropped some good acid on two separate occasions. Starting four days before each trip I would drink a few cups of yerba mate each day. The night before the trips I had a light dinner. On the actual day I would skip breakfast and and lunch and dropped in the early afternoon. I had dropped this exact same acid at least 5 different occasions before these two experiences. The difference was remarkable for me. With the yerba mate I had the most insane closed eye visuals, which I have never gotten before. Prior to this, my friends would always go on and on about their intricate closed eye hallucinations, but I never experienced them, even on my heaviest doses of shrooms (7.0 grams). Another thing that had never happened to me before was I experienced the entire universe as one. My body was no longer the container of my consciousness. I had always felt a connection with nature, friends and the universe while tripping, but never to this degree. The only way I can describe it is the walls that my mind had built in order to have a concept of self were completely and utterly shattered. Both experiences were the farthest I feel I've gone down the proverbial rabbit hole.
Now many of you may speculate this is all just the placebo effect etc etc. I can't really say that it wasn't the case here, because who can really know? All we do know is the effects of these drugs play off of your expectations. However I can tell you that I will be conducting further experiments with this combination, just as soon as it gets warmer .
If you want to try and test this MAOI thing out, go to your local health food store and look for Yerba Mate, it should be with all the teas.
Peace, bc.

Interesting--I was doubting your claim that Mate is an MAOI but according to Wiki you may be right... Seems like that stuff is pretty damned healthy...
An August 11, 2005, United States patent application (documents #20050176777, #20030185908,[24] and #20020054926) cites yerba mate extract as an inhibitor of MAO activity; the maximal inhibition observed in vitro was 40–50%. A monoamine oxidase inhibitor is a type of antidepressant, so there is some data to suggest that yerba mate has a calming effect in this regard.
In addition, it has been noted by the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine that yerba mate can cause high blood pressure when used in conjunction with other MAO inhibitors (such as Nardil and Parnate). [25]
Emerging research also shows that yerba mate preparations can alter the concentration of members of the ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (E-NTPDase) family, resulting in an elevated level of extracellular ATP, ADP, and AMP. This was found with chronic ingestion (15 days) of an aqueous yerba extract, and can lead to a novel mechanism for manipulation of vascular regenerative factors, i.e., treating heart disease.[26]
Mate contains both caffeine and theobromine (which antagonize adenosine receptors) and reduces the body production of adenosine in the blood (prolongs half life of ATP, ADP, and AMP). These two processes will synergize to provide a much cleaner stimulation than a simple dose of caffeine (only blocking adenosine receptors).
Glad you had a good acid trip
