Welcome to the forums findtheothers
Glad to hear your trying to extract your own dmt.
I think the process is essential if you wish to use dmt for whatever purposes you find with it. I won't ask how you obtained dmt beforehand, since imho its irrelevant now that you choose to extract your own. And if it was gifted by a fellow traveler, than
.
I found out when i first started extracting, was that if you do a few small test batches first, refine your technique, and go slow and think everything over twice, you can't go wrong.
I'm sure you've already checked out the wiki, i spend hours (and still do on occasion) reading through various teks. Its a great resource, and lots of good info on teaching people what is going on, rather than just giving out a "recipie".
I hold the opinion that if you don't know what the steps in your tek are actually doing chemically, and the reason why/safety risks, you should wait until you learn more vs. rushing into it, as a general rule of thumb.
PM/make a thread if you need any help with your future extractions, i for one, and countless others will help explain the process and help people understand the steps.
Once you got that down, its like learning to play new music on an instrument you can already play. Any novel teks that come out, or you come across are just new pieces of sheet music that you can learn in a fraction of the time it once took you when you first started.
Hope ya stick around, learn something/teach us something, and contribute to the collective nexus of information focused on psychadelics as well as other topics, we try and cultivate here. Its a great community
Peace and safe journeys,
DT

In a society in which nearly everybody is dominated by somebody else's mind or by a disembodied mind, it becomes increasingly difficult to learn the truth about the activities of governments and corporations, about the quality or value of products, or about the health of one's own place and economy.
In such a society, also, our private economies will depend less upon the private ownership of real, usable property, and more upon property that is institutional and abstract, beyond individual control, such as money, insurance policies, certificates of deposit, stocks, etc. And as our private economies become more abstract, the mutual, free helps and pleasures of family and community life will be supplanted by a kind of displaced citizenship and by commerce with impersonal and self-interested suppliers...
The great enemy of freedom is the alignment of political power with wealth. This alignment destroys the commonwealth - that is, the natural wealth of localities and the local economies of household, neighborhood, and community - and so destroys democracy, of which the commonwealth is the foundation and practical means.โ - Wendell Berry
