Right! Like the title says!

My last couple of extractions I've had something abnormal happen. When collecting my crystalizing dish I've had a very florescent neon green 'gel' form over some crystals.

I'll pour the solvent out and the gel stays. I'll evap it and where the gel was are some crystals (in one big chunk) of a slightly off color. I had a little in my last extraction and the world's smallest test hit rendered me completely incompacitated.

I tried with some more, tiny tiny bit. Smaller than a kernel of corn and very flat. (I don't even care to measure these days). Oh lawdy lawdy! I was GONE!

12-16 minute full force trip. When I got back the room was unrecognizable for about another 10-15 minutes.

This last extraction I aquired ~200mg of this stuff! I mean I was hoping for more so I can do follow-up tests and it's just as potent as the last!

I'll take pictures if it happens again on my next extraction; and add them to this thread.

Has anyone else come across this wonder goo?

Edit: and when I say unrecognizable I'm not talking candyland here. I'm talking open eyed hyperspace almost!

What bark are you using? What Tek Are you following? What solvent?

As far as I know, if there is a color other than yellow/brown/red there is something wrong, often rust inhibitor or something in the solvent you are using. DMT should not be a neon color whatsoever and I suggest that you refrain from putting any of that stuff in your body.

Anrchy :

I don't follow a 'tek'. I use my own route. I have explained it to you in the past and probably won't explain it again any time soon. My primary solvent is ACS grade and my secondary solvent is still, quite pure.

I believe the color had more to do with the complete and total saturation of the solvent more than anything else. I can assure you that nickle sized crystal is quite pure and you likely won't ever taste nothin' more potent.

Also my solvents are distilled/recycled. The bark I used is MHRB. My extraction route works. After the first extraction I just toss the soup, I run through a sep funnel, evap off most the solvent under reduced pressure and crystalize. Here is where I get the neon green. I'll evap to dryness. Seperate out the one bigger crystal and redissolve everything else with a büchner funnel. vac distill most of it, and freeze it for 2 more days.

The first thing that comes to mind that might be a possibility of the origin of the green color is that your solvent is somehow dissolving little bits of green plastic. I've heard about someone using a blue plastic bag as sep funnel and he ended up with blue dmt.

Green is a weird color. but if you vacuum distill it you shouldn't be worried about any impurities

Sorry, but green is not a normal byproduct in relatively pure freebase dmt nor a full spectrum extract.

rust inhibitors in the solvent.

Rust inhibitors.

Please DO NOT smoke any more of your extract. You may be putting your health in jeopardy.

THIS ^

Please please please don't smoke that anymore!

no way green could be coming out of a decently clean mimosa extraction. I find evap testing solvents before every use a good habit to get into. even if its from the same container.
ive never not evaped tested anything. I do with all my solvents, even lab grade 100% stuff. ive found alot of liars in our community.

coleman fuel?

Dichloromethane from a reputable chemical supplier.

Guys, it's not contaminated. Everything only touched borosilicate glass.

I would also like to mention that it's only a tiny fragment that's green, not the solvent itself. It does dry to a pale white set of crystals. Is distilled off after use at a narrow temperature range, and has never done this before. So unless rust inhibitor magically floated into my glass bottle I keep store my solvent into...

The only way you get green DMT is from contamination, afaik.

If you want more help, you'll have to walk us through details that, for some reason, you seemed reluctant to expound on when asked earlier.

Dmt extract from impure to pure.

Red->brown->dark yellow->yellow->pale yellow->off white->bright white->opaque->clear

I feel sorry for you if you continue to believe that any other color is ok. Pure white crystals are going to give you just as strong an effect as 100% pure DMT. You cannot tell the difference in potency. Your green dmt has contamination of some kind, in other words the green is due to something else. Dmt does not have that characteristic upon purification.

Anrchy: I have gone into good detail SPECICALLY for YOU in the past. I haven't been reluctant at all. I'll humour you, and post the tl;dr version as I'm a wee bit preocupied atm.

Bark is taken from bag, cut with scisors. Then pulverized with a grinder. This is mixed into an acid solution, lysed with a sator, and defatted during a soxhlet.

After defat it is lysed/homogenized with a sonicator and then alkylated. I intimately introduce everything to my primary solvent. After this I break the emulsion and settle the layers with a centrifuge, and pipette everything to a sep funnel.

I will repeatedly homogenize, pull, settle pipette, and sep 4 times. After this I discard my bark solution and evap off most of my solvent under reduced pressure.

I'll pour off my saturated solvent into a crystalizing dish, let it cool, ice bath, fridge, then freeze for 2 days. I'll scrap, save the dish (as it contains quite a bit of dmt residue), clean with filter flask/büchner funnel. Evap off most my solvent with another vacume distillation, and receystalize. This dmt is bright white/opaque in color and I smoke this.

I fractionally distill off my left over solvents (except the defat solvent) and rebottle it. Clean and dry my glassware, and call it a day.

Yikes... Well something is creating the green...

I'm no chemist but from the little knowledge ive picked up along the way, i am pretty sure that Amylene is added to some Dichloromethane as a stabelizer at 50-150 ppm.... No idea if amylene would/could cause a green discoloration but i thought i would share that little tid bit...

Any chemists around here have any thoughts on this?

Don't insult my intelligence please. As far as the tan wax, that's not a bad description of it, I'll upload a picture when I'm home. I have no doubt some contaminant caused the discoloration and change in viscocity, I believe it to be non hazardous though.

You're smoking a Neon Green substance and don't know what it is!

Ummm.... Just sayin'

What do you believe it could be then, and i am sorry that i did not recall you explaining your extraction method in detail as i post quite a bit. There also was no need to detail it here but oh well.

If you take a minute to contemplate why your thread sets off alarms you would realize why it might have been important to elaborate on what you may think it is, why you think it is ok to ingest ect ect.

Your method was to basically say green MUST be good and this stuff is some new wonder dmt. Remember, people of all sorts read these posts and more than a few people posted about a blue dmt that was most definitely dangerous to consume. We at the nexus (for all our sake) need to be precise with our explanations in order to keep our hands clean. Accidental poisonings because someone read your thread then smoked dmt laced with rust inhibitor would be a shame.
