hey everyoneVery happy . im currently in the middle of my first dmt extraction and im wondering what is the proper way to dispose of the mixture that contains lye afterwards. i would assume mix it with more vinegar? since vinegar neutralizes lye. id appreciate your input greatly. for those wondering im using acacia confusa and followings cybs salt tek.

pour it down the drain, because lye is great at hydrolyzing hair and soap scum which clog drains.
by the time it reaches the sewage system, it'll already be quite diluted.

Good question as i was wondering the same thing. Considering sodium hydroxide is generally sold as drain cleaner i suppose the answer was staring me in the face... Drool
