..i like that quote..

rudder, and others, i feel i need to make a few key points here:

1) Acacia mearnsii is NOT EASY TO CONCLUSIVELY INDENTIFY compared to similar species..even to the experienced!
without close-up images of pinnae, jugary-glands (see Botanical terms Acacia info thread), flower and pod/seed
you could easily have A. decurrens or dealbata..neither of which is said to have much if anything in there..

2) i have repeatedly stated in the acacia info thread that there are RELIABLE vs. VARIABLE acacia species..
reliable, meaning certain to have dmt the rest being up to your extraction skills, include A. acuminata and A. confusa..other species, like Mearnsii, are EXPERIMENTAL or in research..

3) if finding DMT is the main frustration, then seek out acacia bark from chinese medicine suppliers (very easy) or be patient and grow known reliable species..

Inactive. Trying many hits and holding each for 10+ seconds out of a GVG results in nothing more than brain fog.

Any idea what's in the extract? I thought N-heptane exclusively pulls N,N-Dimethyltryptamine.

Identification is really hard with this species as Nen has mentioned. What is worse is that you begin to see that there are all these different strains and what may well be about a dozen species (or more) or sub-species. And they may be active too... not enough research has been done.

We will have really gotten somewhere when we all know, what sub-species/strain/species is the one with tryptamines, how to look for it, and what time of year it tends to be active. etc.

btw, Rudder, your extract looks promising...

All too often newbies think they can just go out there and extract DMT from a local acacia just like that. It normally just doesn't work like that.

have you used the gvg much rudder? I ask because a lot of people vape dmt with it to no avail due to problems in their technique.. I find a great way to test extracts is with the sandwich bong method. and I agree with choco, your extract does look very promising

Hey rudder,

Did you reach a consensus on your extraction of acacia mearnsii? Have you, or any other contributors this thread, tried any follow up extractions?

Thanks for sharing your results, nice work

A freind recently did a STB on some trunk bark from a dead mearnsii and freeze precipitated nothing what-so-ever.
Couldve been the shellite or not enough water used but instinct tells me this tree has nothing to share.
Next up is a.pravissima or a.implexa phyllode test.
