Yes I know it is a stupid question and yes I did look around and couldn't find the answer, so I decided to ask here. Please help, before I buy it. Syrian Rue is a MAOI and could be dangerous if you take it oral and not on the MAOI diet. What about if smoked? Or if you eat a small dose like 1 gram? Can it still be dangerous? Please answer my question. Thank You!
Hi, Syrian Rue is actually a type of MAOI known as a RIMA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIMA), you do not need a diet with these, they are very safe. You could eat 10g of it and you'd only have a tummy ache. I wouldn't recommend mixing with alcohol, depressants or stimulants under any circumstance.
An other thing Writer forgot to mention is that it can be REALLY dangerous to mix Syrian Rue seeds with other anti-depressants (especially MAOI and SSRI inhibitors) or anti-psychotics. These should be cleared from one's system before thinking of consuming Syrian Rue. Also be prepared for vomiting, as I cannot avoi d it with these seeds. The actual sickly feeling can be avoided via having ginger or peppermint tea after consuming, but you'll almost certainly still puke at some point. Smoking Rue seeds raw has potential to be active, but the smoke honestly tastes horrible and nothing added to it will make the scent better. Eating a gram of the seeds has a light effect, but definitely above placebo (mostly smiling more often, elevated mood, more talkative). I personally wouldn't use these seeds unless in combination with one of my favorite psychedelics, but it's all up to you. Have great future endeavors.
