I'm posting the tek that I use in my DMT freebase extractions. It has worked wonderfully for me over the past couple of years. I have used my experience to refine the tek over time.

I'll make this very clear. This tek is NOT revolutionary. It is simply a variation of the Marsofold Tek. I adjusted it very slightly to work well for me. I'm sure there are better teks out there, but this tek is perfect for me. And I have no desire to use any other tek.

This tek can be used for either MHRB or ACRB. You can adjust the numbers to do smaller or larger extractions, just keep the ratios consistent (use math!) The tek below is for 250g extractions.

I'm posting this tek because I feel it will be useful for people who are complete and total noobs at doing a DMT extraction. Afterward, they might want to switch to a slightly more refined tek or even an organic tek. But I believe this is a great beginner tek that is easy to follow. An advantage with this tek is that you can literally have DMT the next day. It's a very speedy tek in my experience. Finally, I do want to note that some of the wording might be a little weird because I wanted it to fit on a single page in Word using 12 point font (I'm anal like that!)

So without further ado, I present to you all the Poads Tek.

Poads Tek – Extract DMT Freebase in 10 Easy Steps

•Mimosa Hostilis Root Bark Powder (Acacia Confusa works, but it will contain NMT)
•Water
•Vinegar
•Large Pot
•Strainer
•2 Large Glass Beakers
•Large Glass Jar – must be 100% air tight, a large skinny jar works best!
•Red Devil Food Lye
•Naphtha
•Glass Turkey Baster
•Glass Baking Dish
•Measuring Cup Set and Scale

Step 1: Simmer a mix of 10 cups Water and 1.5 cups White Vinegar in a large pot on medium heat.

Step 2: Add 250 grams of powdered Mimosa Hostilis Root Bark to the simmering liquid. Simmer for roughly 2 hours. Do not boil. Stir very often. Do not let the contents sit still for more than 10 minutes.

Step 3: Separate liquid from sludge by passing contents through a strainer into a large glass beaker. Repeat straining process on liquid to ensure there is no sludge in the resulting liquid. The resulting liquid must not contain any sludge. The sludge-free liquid should be poured into the large glass jar.

Step 4: Pour the solid sludgy mass that fails to pass through the strainer into the other beaker. Repeat step 3 by passing the sludge through the strainer again. Try to obtain as much liquid as possible, but no sludge. Repeat several times, until passing the sludge through strainer results in no new liquid.

Note: Do NOT discard the sludge/root bark. It can be used for additional acid simmers to obtain a larger yield!

Step 4.5 (optional): If one would like to perform a defat, this is the time. This is recommended for ACRB only, but it is not completely required. Here are some links for information on defatting.

Step 5: Add 60+ grams of Lye to jar. Mix by shaking jar. Remember to be careful when using lye.

Step 6: Add 3/4 cup of Naphtha to the jar. Shake to mix. Let sit for at least thirty minutes or longer.

Step 7: Use a glass turkey baster to retrieve the top-layer clear liquid. Do not retrieve any of the lower brown liquid. Squeeze the obtained liquid into the glass baking dish. Repeat steps 6 & 7 once.

Step 8: Place the dish in the freezer. Do NOT touch the dish. Let the dish sit in the freezer overnight, if not longer.

Step 9: Remove the dish from the freezer and quickly pour off the naphtha into a separate container - in case any DMT remains in the naphtha. Let the dish evaporate for a few hours (possibly under a fan) before transferring the DMT to another, clean, glass surface of some kind.

Step 10: Let the DMT freebase continue to dry for several hours before using. Do not use until completely dry.

Great job Poads a very simple and well layed out tek!

In step 9 when you say "Drain all of the clear liquid. White DMT freebase should be sitting on the coffee filters." Do you leave the freebase sitting on the filter to dry out or move it to glass dish?

Is there a defat for ACRB ,& can you explain the reasoning behind only 1 x acid boil instead of 3 x acid boils , also do you reduce the liquid down to a certain amount for the lye to assertain a ph of 2-4 and a more suitable amount to handle , also whats the reasoning behind shaking up and disturbing the crystals instead of pouring of the naps in step 9 ?

Fallsup - you move it to a glass dish. I'll add that.

Tinkabell - One acid boil because it's less work. One could do more if they choose. I've never once measured PH for the basifying step. With the amounts I'm using, 60g of lye is plenty. It says 60+ grams because you can use more if you want to. You really cannot over-basify.

The shaking of the crystals in step in 9 is because the crystals have already been formed by this point, and it's just an easier way to get them out of the jar. If one wanted to use a glass "dish" instead of a jar, no shaking would be required. In fact, that would probably be a more-efficient method. I'll make such a change.

No defatting step. This tek was mostly built for MHRB. One could definitely add a defatting step between step 4 and step 5. I can say that I've never tried a defatting step, and I've never had an issue with the end product when using ACRB. The end product has been completely white crystals and never goo (which I would imagine is the point of the defat). However, I've always found MHRB to be more potent than ACRB, and maybe, just maybe, the lack of a defat explains this. I've always blamed it on the NMT content of MHRB. I'll put a note that you can do a defat, I'll call it step 4.5.

Like I said, this tek favors noobs. I'm certain there are other teks that provide better yields. The purpose of this tek is simplicity to prevent screwing up.

I'm not sure that one acid boil and and the use of 8oz of solvent per pull (~240ml) is going to end up with good results.

Multiple acid boils and less solvent per pull will almost assuredly yield better results. If you are only going to do one acid boil you might as well leave all the bark in the solution and basically do a STB with an added acid step. All that "sludge" you want to separate out from the liquid will still have some alkaloids in there. At the very least you should put a disclaimer saying *not* to discard the bark after filtering. Also, if you use that much solvent it is very likely you are going to have to evaporate it down before the goodies crash out during freeze precipitation, it isn't going to be very saturated at the ratios you call for.



You don't have to sacrifice yield for simplicity, and I'm not exactly sure how this tek is easier than similar teks?

Good idea about not discarding the bark. I'll add a note.

And you're probably right about the four 1/2 cup pulls. Honestly, I only do two 3/4 cup pulls. I figured the Nexus would scream "that's not enough!" but, I'll make that change.

The whole point of me posting this is because I see threads almost on a daily basis about newbies ending up with virtually no results. This tek is written in plain English. I simply cannot imagine anybody screwing it up the way I've written it. I said before, this tek is not revolutionary. I basically just rewrote an existing tek in wording that virtually anybody can understand. This is just for first-timers to get their feet wet and to better understand the process. If I wasn't restricted to the welcome area, and I didn't have to read about failed extractions all the time, I wouldn't have posted it.

I would like to thank everyone for your kind suggestions to help me further refine this simplistic tek. I wouldn't be here without you guys! If anyone has any further comments or suggestions, please post!
