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


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.

The percentages of DMT and MAOI concentration in the mixture can vary. A typical mixture would be characterized by breakthrough experiences at a dosage of approximately "one full bong bowl" (with each breath held in for at least 20 full seconds). There have also been reports of breakthroughs occurring with changa that has been rolled into joints, though this is a far less reliable method of doing do.

The main advantage of smoking Changa directly over smoking pure free-base DMT is that it's easier to smoke and reduces the chance of burning the DMT instead of vaping it is the, Here A guide to properly preparing Changa can be accessed [[Preparation of changa|here]].

There is an increased risk of serotonin syndrome when changa (or more specifically, the MAOI component of it) is taken with many antidepressants, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs).
