ACTIVE CHEMICALS
Harmine, harmaline and tetrahydroharmine, these are B-carboline alkaloids which inhibit the body’s MAO (Mono Amine Oxidase) preventing the break down of substances allowing chemicals such as DMT to become orally active or stronger.

B-carbolines are also present in other plants including caapi and Passion flower.

OTHER USE
The crushed seeds can be made into a red dye for rugs.

HEALTH WARNING
Should never be ingested for the following reasons.
Peganum reduces the body’s MAO function which breaks down potently harmful substances. Because of this abstinence from food, especially chocolate and dairy products for 4 hours before and after peganum use is necessary to avoid being ill.
Drugs even if legal, medication even if for dieting or asthma, and consuming alcohol or anything toxic is dangerous, and shouldn’t be taken for 2 days before and at least 1 day after peganum to be completely safe.

Potentially harmful if pregnant or suffering from bad health, especially liver or kidney problems. Above info is for interest, seeds sold for germination only
