so SWIM got 500g of root bark powder. Is there anyway outside of a small test extraction that SWIM can test if the powder has the goodies or not. SWIM says the powder smells like cinnamon and taste like dirt.

would one of those LSD/Psilocybin/dmt test kits work?

and im not sure if this is the correct area to place , but to hell with it. What time frame can swim expect for a full extraction. and in an A/B extraction is the freeze-participate totally necessary. If swim has a crap load of naptha, could they just let it evap?

Well, AC is orally active on its own, if you wanted to, you could brew a tea from a teaspoon or so, just be prepared for a short and intense experience - an hour or so - read up on it, the reports are out there.

Also, theoretically a Marquis reagent (MDMA/Psychedelic/etc. test you describe) would be able to show DMT as a light brown, BUT since you'd be testing a brown liquid, that hardly seems conclusive.

The timeframe is not really that bad. Depending on your tek of choice, it's really only an hour or so of active extracting and some more passive hours for various steps in the process, ie. freezing and thawing the wetted bark a couple times (highly recommended for breaking cell walls) and precipitation/evaporation. And no, freeze precip is just one of your options, evaporation is just fine as well.
