Hi jiva,
What I've understand so far is that the oxide turns into a non-oxide by heating it, due thermal decomposition. What is inhaled should have had the necessary temperature for this decomposition???
Once, a one-off test was done: what was thought to be dmt-oxide*** was vaped a trip for sure. Was it different? Too long a time ago but remember not noticing a difference in nature but then again it was a slam where noticing something at all is difficult to grasp.

Only walked away with the thought: it works.
White crystals turning yellow over time had people never needing to compensate this with more weight, right?
Same product oral seemed less active than normal per weight (on several tests), prolly due to the non thermal decomposition? Just guessing.
*** this deep orange goo was not picked up by naphtha and I believe it even got reduced to mere white crystals with zinc reduction. I've no idea how much this defines the oxide, but looks like it.
