So I dissolved DMT freebase in acetone, then tried to evaporate the acetone and much of it evaporated, and some white crystals formed, but I have a bunch of yellow goo now in the dish that doesn’t seem to want to evaporate anymore. It’s like vegetable oil, but thicker. What happened, and how do I recover the DMT? Thanks in advance.

Probably moisture, which readily absorbs into the acetone, contributed to the formation of the goo. You still have DMT though, that's the good news. It's just a bit less convenient to handle than nice sparkly crystals. Your DMT may crystallise if you poke it around a bit although a more sure-fire way is to run it through a mini A/B including freeze precipitation from light naphtha. Otherwise, redissolve it in the acetone and use it to make enhanced leaf by applying to herbaceous material of your choice. “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

Dissolve the goo in vinegar? Then add NaOH until the DMT freebase crashes out? Then what?

Mini A/B is like a normal extraction, just smaller. After the basing, pick things up with warm naphtha and crash it in the freezer. https://www.dmt-nexus.me...aspx?g=posts&t=61631https://www.dmt-nexus.me...&m=917045#post917045for example. “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'.

MgSO4 = bath salt = epsom salt = readily available.
It will take the water out of the acetone, make it "dry".
Acetone can absorb/hold a lot of water, hygroscopic.

It seems worthwhile to add this, for drying magnesium sulfate easily and effectively: “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'.

So regarding the practice of redissolving DMT in acetone after a naphtha pull, what is the consensus opinion? Is it a useful thing to do? My understanding is that naphtha molecules can get trapped in the DMT crystals, but if you redissolve in acetone, then couldn’t the same happen but now you have acetone molecules trapped in the crystals? Is it less harmful to inhale a molecule of acetone than a molecule of naphtha?

Who told you Naphtha gets trapped in DMT? There are tons of TLC test results here that says that isn't really something that happens or needs to be worried about. His is why the whole "re-crystallization" thing kind of gets under my skin sometimes. If you screwed a step up and somehow contaminated your end product by all means refine but don't throw molecule in acetone to clean the already evaporated Naphtha from it. If it worked the way you believe the only viable option would be a vacuum chamber.
