'''Changa''' (or '''xanga''') is a blanket term ~~used to describe various~~ smokable ~~blends~~ that ~~contain~~ the ~~powerful~~ psychedelic substance [[~~DMT~~]] ~~— usually with an~~ [[MAOI]] containing herb ~~like~~ [[syrian rue]] or [[banisteriopsis caapi]].

'''Changa''' (or '''xanga''') is a blanket term for a smokable blend that contains the psychedelic substance [[dimethyltryptamine]] (DMT) infused onto a [[MAOI]] containing herb such as [[syrian rue]] or [[banisteriopsis caapi|''banisteriopsis caapi'']].

Changa is usually made by ~~blending together any combination of desired smokable herbs and~~ pouring a ~~solvent~~ (~~like~~ isopropyl alcohol) ~~containing DMT and an MAOI~~ over ~~the~~ chosen blend of herbs, letting the ~~mixture dry completely and then smoking the~~ final product. Although there are many varieties of changa, like ayahuasca, the key active ingredients are DMT and an MAOI. The inclusion of the MAOI ~~has been~~ reported ~~to serve~~ to extend the experience by 10-30+ minutes~~, slow it down and render~~ it more coherent and less chaotic than ~~the experience of freebasing~~ DMT.

Changa is usually made by pouring a DMT solution (such as DMT that has been mixed with isopropyl alcohol) over a chosen blend of herbs and letting the solvent evaporate. The final product can then be smoked in a manner like [[tobacco]] or [[cannabis]]. Although there are many varieties of changa, like ayahuasca, the key active ingredients are DMT and an MAOI. The inclusion of the MAOI is reported to extend the experience by 10 to 30 minutes while making it more subjectively coherent and less chaotic than freebase DMT.

An alternate way experience changa is to orally dose a MAOI agent (either pharmaceutical or herbal) and then proceed to vaporize DMT as one normally would after the MAOI has taken effect. This has the advantage of allowing the user to "break through" on significantly lower dose.

==Enhanced Leaf==

"Enhanced leaf" is a related term that is sometimes used to describe DMT-containing herb-mixtures that do not contain MAOIs. Common herbs that can be used for this purpose can range from passionflower to mint leaves.
