Changa

Buy Changa is a combination of DMT or DMT-containing herbs with a smokable MAO inhibitor.

There are many different herbs and additives that can be used to make changa, but the conventional formula uses ayahuasca vine as the core ingredient. Freebase DMT (N,N-dimethyltryptamine) is then dissolved and combined with the ayahuasca vine. Other herbs are added to provide additional psychoactive effects, reduce the harshness of the smoke, or improve the flavor.

While changa was only officially “invented” in the early 2000s, the concept of smoking DMT-containing herbs has been around for a long time.

Even the late Terence McKenna himself reported smoking ayahuasca vine at the peak of a mushroom trip in his 1993 Book — True Hallucinations.

In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know about changa. We’ll go over the ingredients, safety, dosing, legality, and much more.

What is Buy Changa?

Changa is a smokable form of ayahuasca. It consists of a blend of herbs, including dried ayahuasca vine (or another MAO inhibitor) and DMT. It’s used as an alternative to ayahuasca or smokeable DMT.

Changa is more gentle than 5-MeO-DMT and not nearly as long-lasting as ayahuasca. It gives users the ability to ease into the DMT realm more slowly. It takes a few tokes to get into the deeper levels, so users aren’t forced into psychedelia so aggressively.

With that said, changa is a formidable psychedelic that demands respect. Many people who try this smokable blend get a lot more than they’ve bargained for.

The basic principle is that the MAO (monoamine oxidase) inhibitor prevents the DMT from being broken down too quickly — resulting in a stronger and longer-lasting DMT experience.

There’s an ongoing debate about what constitutes “true” changa. The original changa creator — an Australian by the name of Julian Palmer — used ayahuasca as a central ingredient in the formula. Today, you can also find changa that uses a herb called Syrian rue, or passionflower, as an alternative to ayahuasca vine.

The source of DMT isn’t specific either. Some use synthetic DMT; others prefer naturally extracted forms or plants that contain DMT like the acacia tree, chacruna, or mimosa.

Other plants are often added to improve the flavor, reduce the harshness of the smoke, or add additional psychoactive effects to the blend.

A similar mixture involving a pharmaceutical MAO inhibitor and synthetic DMT uses the same base principles. This mixture is referred to as pharmahuasca.

Safe Buy Changa Guidelines

• Learn the four pillars of responsible psychedelic use — set, setting, sitter, & substance
• Know your dose — start very low, and increase the dose over time
• Buy from reputable sources only — only order changa from sources you trust
• Know the timeline — the effects of Changa are going to last between 10 and 45 minutes
• Have a trip sitter nearby — someone you trust who remains sober throughout the experience
• Don’t mix — it isn’t safe to mix Changa with other drugs, medications, or alcohol
• Know when to avoid Changa — don’t take Changa if you have underlying heart, neurological, or psychiatric disorders

How Does Changa Work?

The active ingredient in changa is N,N,DMT — the same active ingredient in ayahuasca and yopo.

DMT is a powerful psychedelic capable of producing profoundly psychedelic states of consciousness. When we take DMT orally, an enzyme called monoamine oxidase (MAO) breaks it down almost immediately.

By blocking MAO with other herbs — such as the ayahuasca vine or Syrian rue — we can prevent DMT from breaking down for a while, which allows it to exert its psychedelic effects.

The MAO inhibitor is critical for oral preparations of DMT (like ayahuasca) to work, but it isn’t as important when smoking DMT.

Smoking or vaping DMT will still produce powerful psychoactive effects before MAO has a chance to break it down. This is how the bufo toad venom (5-MeO-DMT) works.

With that said, adding MAO inhibitors to DMT in smoking blends makes it significantly stronger and longer-lasting.

A changa preparation with about 40% DMT and an MAO inhibitory herb is considerably more potent than 100% free-based DMT at the same dose.

What’s The Dose of Buy Changa?

It’s virtually impossible to suggest a specific dose of changa because of how much variability there is in changa products. The dose wholly depends on what herbs or other ingredients are added to the blend.

However, the general dose of DMT in changa is somewhere between 30 and 200 mg of DMT — so you’ll need to know the rough concentration of DMT in the changa you’re using before you start. This isn’t always easy to find out, and most of the time, you’ll have to find the dose of changa based on how it feels, rather than relying on a specific weight of dried changa leaf.

The best way to use changa is to start with a very small dose. Take one puff and wait a few minutes to see how it affects you. From there, you can take gradually longer pulls or hold the puff for more time before letting it out. The more you smoke, the more psychedelic it becomes.

By applying patience, you can dial in the intensity of effects without going overboard. Smoke a bit, wait, smoke a bit more. Repeat.

Some changa hits like a freight train after just one or two pulls; others are much milder and may require several sessions to get to the DMT dimension. You honestly never know until you try it — and every batch is different.

What Does Changa Feel Like?

Changa feels very much like ayahuasca or 5-MeO-DMT. It’s generally much milder than these other forms of DMT, but not always. Some changa trip reports depict extremely profound and deeply psychedelic experiences. Because of how diverse the potential recipes of changa are, the experience can change dramatically.

If you’re adding herbs like calea or mugwort, the experience is going to be much more lucid than if you added something like mullein or peppermint instead.

There are a few different tiers when it comes to the changa experience:

Tier 1: Expanded Awareness State

This state is most similar to LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) or magic mushrooms. You remain in the “real world” and remain entirely present in your body. However, you feel a stronger sense of connection with others as well as the world around you.

Your visual sphere becomes altered. You see geometric fractal patterns all around you. Objects appear to be moving and merging together, and you may even hear sounds or see colors you’ve never experienced before.

Tier 2: Projection State

The projection state goes one step further than the expanded awareness state. You’ll likely remain aware of your own existence, but you’ve traveled somewhere outside of your body. Usually, this will feel as though you’re still in the same room, but you’re looking at yourself from another perspective.

Visual and auditory hallucinations will be profound. You may experience a sense of oneness or a sense of impending doom. Both are signs of ego-dissolution and can be profoundly enlightening experiences.

It’s common for people to lose some or all control of their bodies during this state. You may laugh uncontrollably, find yourself staring off into space, or lay into the ground in a heap for a few moments.

Tier 3: Alien Realm

This is the third and final tier of the changa (or DMT in general) experience.

At this stage, you’ve lost touch with reality entirely. You may or may not know who or what you are and have traveled to a different place altogether. Often the environment you find yourself in is completely unfamiliar. You may be in an alien world, in a jungle, or in a room you’ve never seen before. The experience is exceptionally vivid and surreal. Many people report “making contact” with aliens — a phenomenon that’s eerily common with DMT trips in general.

Time no longer has any meaning. The whole experience itself only lasts about 10 minutes or so before coming back to a more centered consciousness state, but it can feel like you’ve lived several lifetimes while undergoing the experience.

There’s a lot of philosophical debate about how “real” these experiences are. Ultimately, while it’s happening, what you’re experiencing is entirely real. You can see, feel, touch, and interact with the experience the same way you would interface with “normal reality.”

Does Changa Cause a Hangover?

It’s uncommon for people to experience a hangover after using changa, but it isn’t impossible. It really comes down to what ingredients were included in the changa they were using.

Some additives, like chemical additives or herbs like datura or Brugmansia, can cause lasting side effects. They can cause headaches, fatigue, nausea, depression, or lasting hallucinations for several days following the trip.

True changa rarely has lasting negative effects.

In fact, most people report an afterglow — which is a feeling of positivity, spiritual awakening, and constructive introspection for several days following the experience.
