Check first
N,N-DMT and 5-MeO-DMT differ
Dose depends on the form
20–40 mg is a commonly reported range for smoked N,N-DMT. 0.020 g is 20 mg of material. Use a milligram scale that reads that weight reliably.
A cart label can’t tell you mg per puff. A cup of ayahuasca can be any strength. Sit or lie down somewhere clear and have a sober person nearby.
Check for dangerous mixes
Ayahuasca and some changa contain MAOIs. Ask a pharmacist about your medications. Mixing with some antidepressants, tramadol, DXM, or MDMA can be dangerous.
5-MeO-DMT is a different drug. Ask a drug-checking service if it can tell them apart.
