Lazy bugger. It took me about 2-3 mins to read thro that info to get a good grip about what kind of food to stay away from. Have some veggies, noodles and drink water if ur uncertain i.e eat whatever food that's not on the list!!

Lol u misunderstood eachother, MindAstro and I have gone through the list a couple of times before, but since there is so many on it, we were wondering if anyone might have any suggestions what to eat.

Btw, isn't it this way: If you have taken an MAO-Inhibitor, you can't eat cacti. But if you eat cacti it's ok to take MAO's, but not MAO-Inhibitors right?
We got kinda confused thinking that u can't eat substances containing MAO's when tripping on cacti.

I think there ain't nothing like "MAO's".
MAO is monoamine oxidase and it's an enzyme (? or something like that?) in your body which breaks down certain types of chemicals (tyramine, tryptamines, serotonine and what not else). It protects your body from excessive amounts of harmful chemicals.

An MAOI is a MAO INHIBITOR, a substance which makes the MAO in your body inactive for a certain time. Therefore you shouldn't eat tyramine containing foods and under no circumstances drugs which release massive amounts of serotonine like amphetamines or SSRI's.

You shouldn't take MAOI's together with cacti because cacti contain substances which can be dangerous when your MAO system is out of order.
Cacti (San Pedro and Peyote) are not MAOI's, so you can eat anything you like.

If you want to take maoi's, then just eat plain noodles and you're 100% safe (be careful with noddle-sauce and under no circumstances add cheese!)

ok thanks for the info mate. I've looked it up and they say not to use Mescaline containing cacti with MAOI's, that's all we need to know 8)
