An extraction is made to avoid nausea, provide a clearer trip and to accurately DOSE how much DMT is in it.
Alkaloids can vary depending on what the source of DMT is. Some acacias contain contain less than 1% and therefore lead to less powerful trips and being underwhelmed. Some people have reported yields of over 2% with MHRB and thereby become overpowered. That is why people prefer to extract it. And in reality, an extraction really isn't that complicated to do.
