Contents
Introduction
This article is about the interactions and effects of mixing different entheogens, both with each other and with medicine. Some combinations have a good synergy while others can be a DEADLY combination! Taking any substance carries a high responsibility, please read the WARNING section with great care!
Warning!

THIS THREAD IS STILL 'IN THE MAKING' AND CAN CONTAIN WRONG DATA! DO NOT USE THIS THREAD AS A DRUG-INTERACTION GUIDE YET!
Even though the interactions of certain substances are described here, it is extremely important to be safe at all times! This article is only to give information about interactions and their effects, this article is NOT meant for advice on taking any combination!
Many interactions described here are subjective descriptions, so what is shown here is only an indication on how certain combinations can affect you and how safe they are. Many times those effects are dependent on dose (of each substance), route of administration, timeline of administration, set and setting, your mood, your physical health, your mental health and many other factors.
Psychedelics
DMT
Some report dysphoria at lower doses. I (House) do not find this to be the case I find low doses incredibly euphoric. Higher doses can be known to go beyond human emotions and concepts. Higher doses of DMT are also known to cause strange bodily hallucinations like the feeling that you have stopped breathing, or that your heart has stopped beating. These hallucinations are common and can be countered with conscious relaxation and meditation prior and during the experience. You do not have to submit, per se, but beware that you may have to let go of certain intensities during the experience. It can easily be the most "intense" experience of your life for some people, and this is *NOT* a bad thing!

Generic information: |
Harmalas potentiate and prolong the effects of DMT, while at the same time it adds a slight psychedelic effect of it's own. For DMT to be orally active, a MAOI is mandatory. |

Harmalas (MAOI)
Side effects include contraindication with certain substances. Make sure you understand interactions with substances before using them! At higher doses users experience nausea and vomiting, but this also isn't necessarily a bad thing, since harmalas are anti-parasitic, purging is often considered cleansing to both the body and the mind. Chest pressure is also common with ayahuasca. Feelings of having something heavy sitting on you. This is normal and if experienced just relax and let it be, it's part of the serpents coil.
Mushrooms (psilocybin)
I (House) think the most common side effect I hear about with shrooms is stomach discomfort. A lot of people don't know that you really are not supposed to consume any kind of raw mushroom. It's a rare case in the culinary and medicinal fields where raw mushrooms are told to be ingested. (I can think of a few exceptions, of course.) So for some ingesting the raw material can be very nauseating, myself included. Making a tea or the lemon tek is the way to go. By soaking raw mushrooms in lime juice, the citric acid literally cooks the mushrooms breaking down the cell walls. This is also known as a ceviche in the cooking world. Personally I just slip the shot of lime juice with the mushrooms in it back, it tastes good and I don't experience nausea this way. Some people filter out the mushroom material from the solution. Experiment. Taking too many mushrooms can lead to a feeling of being poisoned, but as far as I know no one has ever died from taking them on their own. Dose accordingly!
LSD
LSD is a potent vasoconstricting substance. This means it causes an increase in blood pressure by tightening the blood vessels in the body. This can be countered with vasodilating substances. Some find that oral hash completely diminishes the vasoconstriction. I like using transdermal magnesium prior to a dose to also help with things like jaw tension. Also, conscious relaxation, deep breaths, and massage (even done by the self) can help curb tension experienced from the drug. If you feel over stimulated or uncomfortable, you probably need to "Flow", so to speak. Get up, stretch, dance around, laugh, have an orgasm, be creative, play a musical instrument, take a hot shower. Things like this help with getting energy flowing and making meditation easier. Eat a bit of fruit on the come-up if you feel some unease! Many people find cannabis greatly eases the transition, but of course not everybody.

Mescaline
Iboga
Careful with this one! Much research and tests must be done before ingesting this substance. It is clinically proven to slow down a rhythm of the heart beat and has killed people because of this. A heart panel and EKG are common tests preformed before ingesting this substance. Please beware of this and do a lot of research before even considering this very profound medicine! Side effects include disorientation, immobility, nausea, in high doses for very long periods of time. Some people still can't drive a car 1 week after a flood dose, for example.
Iboga + LSD
{{SubstanceInteraction|Iboga + LSD|#406040|#60FF60|OK|...|

LSD becomes much more potent after Iboga and I would suggest taking it sometime between 1-7 days after taking a low dose of Iboga. For me I find that the LSD really puts the teachings of the Iboga into perspective. Be careful though, there is a definitely potentiation. |
Iboga + Mushrooms
{{SubstanceInteraction|Iboga + Mushrooms|#406040|#60FF60|OK|...|

I find that psilocybe mushrooms are a really great synergy. They seem to kick in the Iboga about 3x as hard, so a low dose of both makes for a good journey. Euphoric, meditative, deep combination. Great for sorting things out in your life. |
Iboga + Cannabis
{{SubstanceInteraction|Iboga + Cannabis|#406040|#60FF60|OK|...|

Great synergy with Iboga and cannabis. Noticeable potentiation. Also takes care of the intense nausea with higher doses of Iboga a bit. I believe this synergy is even used traditionally in some instances. |
Iboga + Harmala

While myself and others have found a low dose of harmala to be a nice synergy with Iboga, others have found the combination too intense. Start low and work your way up. |

MDMA
The most common side effects of MDMA are jaw tension, feeling burnt-out the next day, and it's minimal amount of neurotoxicity. A lot of people "pre load" with substances that are neuroprotectant before, during, and after the experience. Neuroprotectants include cannabis, nootropics, vitamin C, 5-HTP, and others. Jaw tension can be countered again with transdermal magnesium, conscious relaxation, meditation and massage. As for feeling burnt-out, try to only redose a small amount one time or not at all. Constantly redosing can cause more burnout srensations. Also dosing too high. You might want to touch, hug, kiss, and tell how much you love everything around you, too.
Taking MDMA with MAOI and certain prescription medications can lead to seratonin syndrome and even death so plesse be careful!
