Welcome to Psilohuasca.com! Welcome home to your true being.
If you have found this place you may have heard about Ayahuasca, the psychedelic brew of the Amazonian jungle.
Welcome to Psilohuasca.com! Welcome home to your true being.
This homepage is all about the possibility of using Psychedelic Tryptamines as a tool to experience the nondual nature of reality, your true self.
It’s made of two main plants- a vine, Banisteriopsis Caapi, also called Ayahuasca itself, and a perennial shrub, Psychotria viridis, called Chacruna. The shrub contains DMT (N,N-Dimethyltryptamine), which is a psychedelic tryptamine, found endogenously in the human brain. It is normally controlled by an enzyme called Mono Amino Oxidase. Now the Vine contains Harmine/Hamaline which acts as Mono Amino Oxidase Inhibitors- therefore orally ingested DMT becomes psychedelically active.
Since the Vine, the MAO inhibitor, being also called Ayahuasca itself, the word “Psilohuasca” is used to describe a combination of Psilocin containing mushrooms and a MAO inhibiting plant source.
Maybe some of you out there don’t know much about “magic mushrooms”, so I am going to tell you a few scientific facts.
Psilocin is the active tryptamine alkaloid which is the reason for the psychedelic effects of the mushroom. Psilocybin, which is also present, is the phosphoryloxy version of Psilocin. However, through the stomach acid it is being broken down to Psilocin.
Psilocin is actually nothing else but DMT with an additional hydroxyl group on the 4th position of the indole ring (4-Hydroxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine). It can be seen as “orally active DMT”, since you can simply eat the mushrooms and they will reveal their psychedelic effects. An MAO inhibitor is not needed (as with DMT).
See below for a molecule comparison:
So why then add the Mono Amino Oxidase inhibitor?
If you want to experience the full potential of Psilocin by taking a high dose (70-100mg), but don’t want to eat large amounts of Psilocybe mushrooms, then the addition of an MAO inhibitor is the key. Somehow the MAO Enyzme breaks down a good amount of the Psilocin before it hits the brain. By adding Harmine/Harmaline this action is partially inhibited. Harmine and Harmaline also have tranquilizing and anti-depressive abilities which help with nervousness and anxiety before the experience.
Mushrooms are the main ancient source for spiritual experiences, our European ancestors have used the mushrooms for spiritual reasons for thousands of years before they vanished through the prosecution of the Catholic Church.
The oldest religious cult was found to be a mushroom one, The painting below from the caves of the Tassili Plateau in Northern Algeria is dated around 5000 years B.C..
Why not use the psychedelic mushrooms for all the reasons so many people take Ayahuasca for in these days? There are users of mushrooms- but in our society they are sadly much more seen as a party or recreational drug. That is also the way the media treats them, since they are still illegal almost anywhere, although you can find them yourself in nature all over the world. Or you can grow them very easily yourself at home, with a little bit more effort than growing plants.
Although dried fruitbodies (thats what we usually call mushroom) are illegal also in the Netherlands, a loophole in the latest drug act excluded mushroom sclerotia (a hardened form of mycelium, which is still legal, too). So called Smartshops are still allowed to sell sclerotia, calling them ‘Philosopher Stones’ or ‘Psychedelic Truffels’ for marketing reasons. Just like mushroom mycelium itself, the sclerotia do contain Psilocybin and Psilocin, but are rather weak compared to the fruitbodies.

The best source for the natural MAO inhibitors Harmine and Harmaline are the seeds of the perennial plant Peganum Harmala, better known as Syrian Rue. These seeds are not only legal almost anywhere, they are also very cheap, since the plant produces a lot of them. Together with a Peganum a typical dose of Psilocin/Psilocybin can show effects up to five times the amount taken.
Instead of cutting a huge piece out of a living Vine and then having to extract its active ingredients, as little as 3grams of the powdered Syrian Rue seeds can be used by simply ingesting them.
The main differences between Ayahuasca and Psilohuasca are:
