This would be a dream come true as if this actually works since baking soda is so easily accessible.
Several members over at the nexus have been asking me for sometime now to give this method of extraction a write up. It has been criticized by some, but for a fact - this method of dmt extraction is exceedinly easy and yes, it works. This write up is a bit sloppy and unorganized, that will soon be remedied.
Keep in mind this is not the advanced clandestine chemists ideal method of extracting dmt, however, this method will prove invaluable to the person who finds him/herself in a position of not being able to procure solvents or chemicals that the ideal methods would call for. Also it will no doubt be a valuable tool to those who want a completely food safe extration. Lastly those who are new to this field who feel unsure about using or even attempting to procure chemicals such as naptha or lye.
The real beauty of this tek is that you probably already have everything you need to extract either freebase or a salt of DMT. If not, you can buy everything you need at your local dollar store, or corner grocery store. This tek although making use of sometimes even the fattiest and crudest solvents , yeilds a 100% fat and oil free product. You will pull beautiful white xtals. This tek IS workable and almost impossible to screw up by even the most chemistry naive extractor.
Although somewhat lacking in exact amounts, volumes and measurements ... it should give a strong enough general overview to carry anyone through.
Here it is... starting with what you'll need...
Baking soda
90% Rubbing (Isopropyl) Alcohol, or Ethyl Alcohol, or Acetone, (Methyl works but voids the food safe aspect, however it is completely safe if evapped completely.) Less than 90% will work but will result in small amounts of baking soda being in the end product. This is completely harmless and can be cleaned by repeating the process a few times.) Acetone is prefferable here
Any Type of Vegetable Oil, Canola Oil, Sunflower Oil, Peanut Oil etc... (hell even lard would work here if kept hot)
Some type of acid, Lemon juice, Vinegar, Vitamin C ... etc...
__________________________________________________ ____________________________________________
Mix 1 gram of baking soda for every gram of powdered root bark you have in a large glass or metal pan (metal is fine here), add enough water to cover the bark and baking soda mixture + an extra inch or so.
For every 50 grams of bark used, add 1/2 cup of your vegetable oil to this mix. now set this mixture on low heat and bring up the temperature until it is hot , and steams when stirred. This mixture should be kept HOT but should not boil. Once it is hot , maintain the hot temperature for 1 hour. During that hour, the mixture should be well but very gently stirred every few minutes.
Now mix up some acidic water. For every gallon of water add 1.5 cups of vinegar or 1 cup lemon juice per gallon and measure out an equal amount of this acidic water for the amount of oil that you have. (If you have 2.5 cups oil , you'll need 2.5 cups acidic water, a little more wont hurt, but probably wont help either.
When atleast an hour has passed (two cant really hurt) then use something like a turkey baster/dropper type device to remove the oil and add it to your acidified water. Stir gently for several minutes. The goodies will attach to the acid in the water forming that particular salt, migrating to the water... leaving the oil on top containing only the oils and fats.
The oil after several minutes of mixing with the acidic water is removed and added back to the original basic bark mixture. This process is repeated a total of three times, each time using the same oil.. and each time "steeping" for an hour or so. also each time the oil is removed fresh acidic water is used and at the end combined.
(If a salt of dmt is desired , say for oral use, then at this point .. after the oil is removed the water is allowed to evaporate and the remaining material washed with acetone to yeild beautiful salted dmt crystals)
If Freebase DMT is the goal, then at this point the acidic water is made basic by adding baking soda. I'd say about a half a cup for every two cups acidic water you have should do it.
The water is now evaporated. This proccess is slow and requires a slight bit of patience if you are doing a larger extraction. Use a small fan and apply low heat to speed up the evaporation proccess. Now at this point you will be left with freebase dmt and baking soda. This material is scraped up and placed into a small dish.
Here one must retrieve the freebase dmt from the baking soda. There are several ways of doing this. Acetone is here prefferable however most people don't have acetone handy. Instead, we can use high proof alcohol. 90% Isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) will do great here and is available at your local walmart. 70 % can be used but keep in mind that the 30 % water present will carry over a good amount of baking soda. This ofcourse is completely harmless but ofcourse undesirable. This can somewhat be remedied by repeating the washes with alcohol.
Anyways... you have to completely dissolve the powder in acetone, rubbing alcohol or high proof whiskey (anything other than everclear will leave a taste) The baking soda will be left behind, and at this point your goodies are dissolved in the acetone or whatever solvent you used here. So collect the liquid , careful to leave the baking soda pwder behind. Rinse this powder three times and combine the liquid from all three rinses.
Use a small fan to quickly evap the solvent to leave behind beautifully white (if a good solvent was used at the end) dmt crystals. The only impurities that could be present AT ALL is a small amount of baking soda. The weaker your alcohol (if used instead of acetone) the more baking soda will be pulled along with the dmt. Harmless but indeed, undesirable. 90% rubbing alcohol from wal-mart or the dollar store (at least in the states) will do just fine.
The purity of the end product can be improved by redissolving in solvent and leaving behind anything insoluble, and re-evaporating to leave behind purer crystals.
Like it was previously stated, this certainly is not the "Best" method for extracting dmt however it DOES work. This now makes it possible for many people who previously would not attempt an extraction for several reasons to now do so. Thanks to those who inspired me to write this up, you know who you are! Peace and Godspeed!
