Hi everyone!
So this is SWIMs first post on the nexus, but SWIM has been reading for quite a while.
AFOAF recently told SWIM of his plans to start extracting DMT.
After extensive research this FOAF has come to realise that very little to no documented extraction is being done in Africa, and as far as he can tell there is also very limited knowledge on the best plants to use down here, even though we have an abundance of biodiversity that includes many Acacia species.
With this in mind the FOAF has decided he will be a pioneer on this wild continent (as he said before he has been underwhelmed with previous African efforts- at least the documented ones). He has a source searching for the right plants in the right places but he has a question about one in particular- the Black Wattle or Acacia Mearnsii- although it is indigenous to Australia it is found in abundance in South Africa as an invasive/alien species. His question comes in 3 parts:
1) Is this plant, as he has heard, a container of DMT?
2) Which parts of the plant contain DMT and in what concentraions?
3) Could he use the bark from firewood he can obtain from a local source (He is mainly asking to find out if that bark would be useable after being dried out for so long).
SWIMs FOAF looks forward to many enriching discussions on this forum and to hopefully contributing some new knowldge to its annals.
