SWIM had some DMT powder get slightly on his face and his lip and it burned for some reason??(He sneezed on his jar LOL). SWIM said it was like a numbing burn feeling, he also told me his powder is a light yellow/white. Can anybody please figure this out for SWIM or is this normal?? HE also said he did a sodium carbonate wash before freeze precipitation. He pulled piss colored naptha with no black solution(SWIM is very confident on this). Here's what SWIM used for his modified lazyman's TEK. SWIM said he got 1G from 100G of MHRB(from only 2 extractions) https://www.dmt-nexus.me...spx?g=posts&m=225309

Well DMT freebase is acidic by nature... acids do tend to irratate tissue. This is why it isn't recommended to try and insufflate DMT. You are going to be fine. At any rate, welcome to the Nexus! Glad to have you here  Once in a while, you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Thank you. SWIM thought it was strange when it got on his cheek and it had a burning numbing sensation. Its always better to be safe than sorry though  Also thank you! I'm glad to be here and i hope i can help make a difference here in someway.

One time I was using 'the machine' and inhaled in such a way that all of the vapor traveled over my bottom lip before entering my mouth. The result: that spot on my lip was numb aka tripping hardcore. It stayed numb well after I stopped tripping. It was a very odd sensation, and shows that DMT (even vapor) can be absorbed through soft tissue.

I don't know what the underlying cause is, but this is not an indication that there is something wrong with your dmt. Possibly the same reason lye can burn your skin. Lye is also basic. "Energy flows where attention goes" [Please review the forum Wiki and FAQ before posting questions]

When in the freebase form DMT has a fairly high ph and can be fairly caustic to soft tissue.

They all sing the same refrain: It's fun to take a trip, put acid in your veins.

Those two above nailed it. Its the same reason people smoke meth in its salt form, which would seem to be counterproductive but in reality is much less painful or messy than its caustic freebase form. Not compairing DMT to meth but the caustic freebase point is a fairly good analogy. "Whereas modern cynicism brought despair about the ability of the human species to realize laudable ideals, postmodern cynicism doesn't —not because it's optimistic, but because it can't take ideals seriously in the first place. The prevailing attitude is Absurdism. A postmodern magazine may be irreverent, but not bitterly irreverent, for it's not purposefully irreverent; its aim is indiscriminate, because everyone is equally ridiculous. And anyway, there's no moral basis for passing judgment. Just sit back and enjoy the show. " - Robert Wright "An intellectual is a person who has discovered something more interesting than sex." - Aldous Huxley

Chemically speaking, since dmt is an amine, it acts as a base when in freebase form. Nowhere near an acid obviously as anchry noted. So Eliteus, your issue is not bad - you are dealing with something that can be mildly caustic in nature. Need to calculate between salts and freebases? Click here!

When you put DMT in your mouth, it burns. When you snort it (as I'm told) it really burns, so I'm not too surprised that it would burn your face, and especially your lips which are more sensitive. "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind" - Albert Einstein

Thanks a bunch guys. Will DMT powder break down if SWIM leaves it sit in his closet? Or is it best to keep it in the freezer?

DMT freebase is quite a stable drug but the best way to store anything is in an airtight container in a freezer. The drier, colder and darker the storage, the better. Art Van D'lay wrote:Smoalk. It. And. See.

I put a tiny amount on my tounge and it seemed to burn and i thought it was lye from oversaturation the added lye.. And to this day..Im still not shure if it was mescaline citrate crystals of lye crystals i threw away.. Like the conversation above about DMT freebase burning or not.. my mescaline extraction also seemed hard to figure out.. I only know mescaline FB should taste biter ..but not really burn.. but some minor acidity may sting toung some... I wished i would have not overreacted so quickly because i wasted a lot of work..

Oops embarrassing.... Sorry did not mean to pass along faulty info! Really was just trying to say that the pH is what causes the irratation... Once in a while, you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
