I first learned about DMT from a documentary on netflix. A friend of mine had suggested it to me, and thought I would find interesting. Indeed, I did. I had heard of DMT before but had never really recognized it as the world's most powerful hallucinogen. After a month of research and curiosity, swim decided he wanted to try it. Swim did even more research on dmt-nexus/erowid, and decided that he would be extracting the DMT himself for two reasons: 1. Swim doesn't trust that someone else's spice isn't contaminated, and 2. Swim didn't think that he should be allowed to try DMT unless he could successfully extract it himself.
That being said, swim put his plan into action and acquired the necessary chemicals and glassware he needed. He then ordered a good amount of mhrb from an online supplier. Once that arrived, swim got to work. In his first extraction of 50g mhrb, his yield turned out to be around 1% using noman's tek. Swim has tried two doses of 50mg each using a home-made waterbottle/aluminum foil vaporizer. Unfortunately, the smoke was too harsh for him to inhale enough smoke to have any effects. Swim now believes that the aluminum foil was too hot, and he probably burned the crystals, causing the smoke to become almost un-inhalable.
Swim is now doing two more extractions this week of 200g mhrb each, which he expects will yield 3-4g DMT. After these extractions, he will be ready to try and reach hyperspace again. This time he will not allow the flame to touch the aluminum foil, and will have peppermint in his mouth as he inhales. Hopefully the third time is a charm for swim, and he will be flying through hyperspace by the end of the week.
Swim has two main goals:
1. To gain a better understanding or a different perspective of the world
2. To lose the fear of death
Here is a picture of swim's first extraction yield (part of it, anyway):
He was quite pleased with his results!
And for those of you curious, just a small bit of information about myself: I am 18 years old (making me a senior in highschool) and have never tried any psychedelics before.
Swim would like to give a shoutout to Cyb who has been most helpful in answering the questions he had during his first extraction!
I am already enjoying my time on dmt-nexus, and look forward to becoming an active member.
