Over time I was dismayed to see once white clear crystals turn orange. I knew in my mind that color is no indication of purity or potency, however, I simply had to restore things back to white. Or off-white...
Why do I always over think this process?
I heated water to under boiling (180f) , and removed all ignition sources .
I weighed my spice. It was almost exactly 3 grams.
I measured 75ml Heptane, into a flat bottom flask, and added the spice.
I immersed the flask in the hot water, alternating swirling with submersion.
Using a digital thermometer, I maintained the water was hot.
Again swirling and immersing over and over again until I was satisfied that all the DMT was in solution.
The flask bottom was coated with a red substance, and a few red " balls". I used a glass rod to poke the balls, while swirling again, to ensure all the spice was in solution.
Next, I decanted the solution into a glass baking dish, sealed the top with a tight fitting lid, and placed into a cold freezer for
Precipitation.
After 6 hours, solution was poured off, and spice was left to form crystals in a cool dry closet
Two days later- pure white crystals again!
I will post pics and weight tomorrow
Hopefully this is helpful to someone who is as daft like me

Good quality Syrian rue (Peganum harmala) for an incredible price!

How much spice do you have now?
I hope you kept the orange slag for later Wink

I ended up with a straight! 2.345gms.
I was too lazy to scrape the flask, and didn't want to hurt it, as it came from my High School Chemistry lab!.
And 2+ grams of DMT is way more than I need.
It makes me happy just knowing the trees are full, growing, and unharmed by greedy bark hunters...
