Pharmahuasca

Pharmahuasca is a pharmaceutical version of the traditional entheogenic brew ayahuasca. It can be either entirely synthetic or a combination of synthesized chemicals and plant extracts. Usually, these combinations are made from extracted psychoactives (such as DMT from Mimosa hostilis) and synthetic MAOIs. Pharmahuasca contains a psychoactive phenethylamine, such as mescaline , or a psychoactive alkaloid such as DMT or psilocybin, combined with an MAOI, which enhances the effect (indeed in traditional ayahuasca, the MAOIs harmine and harmaline initiate the hallucinogenic effects).
