Hi .. a friend of swim send this sample of a batch to test... the problem is the brown stuff ... what do you think?? They said that he used zippo lighter fluid to extract...






What is it???

Thanks!

of what?



used lighter fluid to extract what from what? I dont know how you can expect anyone to answer if they dont even know what youre talking about. And even assuming youre referring to dmt, without knowing what they extracted from theres no way to even begin speculate on what they pulled.

However, Ive had year old dmt that I found in an old pyrex that had turned to dmt oxide that had a slightly brownish tint in some areas, but without any specifics I would hesitate to suggest that our two separate scenarios are similar in any way

**I just came back to add this edit. after looking at your picture it seems that you have some yellowish dmt with darker tan/brown spots in the denser areas. If you extracted it yourself and (eventhough you said you didnt I realize how some people are about self incrimination) are confident that none of the basified solution got into your solvent then i'd say its just a minor impurity and if its really that big of deal to you just do a re-x and if not go ahead and smoke it. But regardless of what I say you should still probably wait for one oof the big posters to come and assess your situation

its gonna be hard to give you a correct answer.

i would recrystalise it, that should sort it out.

Thanks for the answer.. is DMT from mimosa hostilis.... I forget to metioned .

What does it smell like? It could be spice, my 1st batch was golden oil and my 2nd extraction using A/B method produced white crystals. Both smell the same and the oil was powerfully good.
Enjoy...

Looks like spice. A sloppy extraction but I don't think the brown will hurt you. AFAIK it's just gooey dmt-oxide or even a bit of the jungle mixed in there.

But that stuff disappears in usually the first re-ex. So this person did not take their time to follow the steps to the end. Ask your source about cleaning it up.

i was told that if you get some base (lye or what have you) in your dmt in comes out with brown..


did you make sure that you only had the lighter fluid when you evap'd, or that the lighter fluid was pure enough for evaping. (unless you freeze precipitated, in which case i am not knowledgeable enough to know)

It looks like what you have is a crude extract of DMT. If it's (relatively pure) DMT it should smell something like synthetic plastic or mothballs. I'd bet what you have is smokable but if you're hesitant you can always disolve it in a small volume of warm naphtha (lighter fluid) and then do a freeze precipitation. That should get rid of the brown stuff.
