Hi
So sorry if this has been discussed already - noob question.
I have lots of Acacia trees where i live. I initially thought the tree bark would suffice, since then i read about root bark.
If i want to collect bark myself - do i need to dig up the sapling etc - and strip the bark from an actual root ?
Hopefully there has been a discussion already that you could point me to ?
really appreciate this.
thanks

With Acacias, the phyllodes / twigs are more accessible and sustainable than root or trunk bark.
Also often reported to contain similar alkaloids.

if you uproot or strip the bark off a tree, you'll never get DMT from that tree again. If you (carefully and sustsainably) take no more than 1/3 of leaves (phylodes) and small branches/twigs that tree will provide you medicine for the rest of its (and maybe your) life. Be nice to the trees and they'll be nice to you.

We have huge forests here and unfortunately its outlawed as a non indigenous tree, so its used for firewood. Pity, they are rather beautiful. cheers

Quote:do i need to dig up the sapling Saplings might not contain so much in the way of alkaloids, from what I gather - but then again, I have no experience of harvesting Acacia (my attempts at growing them failed somewhat miserably  ), so others will surely be able to comment more effectively on this aspect. “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli
