A Safer DMT Extraction - No Lye, No Naphtha

For one thing, it inspired a DMT extraction that doesn't require any lye or hydrocarbon solvents (like naphtha, toluene, etc.). This tek uses only citric acid, fumaric acid, acetone, sodium carbonate, and water. This makes it much safer for the layman than playing with strong lye solutions and being exposed to the vapors of hydrocarbon solvents.

The purely imaginary method described below does work, but it works really really slow. SWIM's FOAF was able to extract ~100mg freebase alkaloids from 10g of MHRB. This method does not discriminate between the alkaloids that are extracted (j.spice, d., d-Noxide etc etc), this is however a subject of discussion.

The tek:

1) dissolve 5g of citric acid per 100ml acetone

2) take the shredded/powdered bark and cover it with enough citric acid acetone. Incubate in a warm place, gently agitating every so often. After 2-3 hours, filter off the citric-acid saturated acetone extract and set aside (this solution should have acquired the dark reddish colour of MHRB). Repeat 2 more times.

3) saturate acetone with fumaric acid. Acetone can hold ~20mg/ml fumaric acid if let for a day or so to completely dissolve.

4) Add the fumaric acid-saturated acetone in the citric acid-saturated acetone MHRB extract. One cannot put too much.

5) Set it aside and wait for 2-3 days. One should see a yellowish precipitate on the bottom.

NOTE: In step 2 one is making an acetone extraction and at the same time converting the alkaloids their citrate salt. After addition of the fumaric acid-saturated acetone in step 4, there is an interconversion of alkaloid-citrate to alkaloid-fumarate salt, like:

dmt-citrate + fumaric acid <-> dmt-fumarate + citric acid

citric acid has a pKa of 3.13, while fumaric acid's pka is 3.43. Fumaric acid is a weaker acid and thus in the above reaction one should have most of the dmt as a citrate salt and just a tiny amount as a fumarate salt. dmt-fumarate however is totally insoluble in acetone (while dmt-citrate is perfectly soluble), and it precipitates as soon as it forms. The insolubility of dmt-fumarate acts therefore as a "sink" and given time all of the dmt-citrate will eventually convert to dmt-fumarate and precipitate out.

6) wash the precipitated fumarate salts with acetone, then take them out and let them dry.

7) dissolve the alkaloid-fumarate salts in 5ml of tap water, then and then add saturated sodium carbonate to make the solution basic. The alkaloids will be freebased and the solution will become milky. In 3 days they will precipitate out forming nice needle-like crystal in the basic solution. At this stage, one can filter the solution (nasty procedure since the crystals tend to be sticky and waxy) and retrieve any left alkaloids by dissolving them in acetone.

8 ) Let the crystals dry, wash them with acetone (it removes any traces of sodium corbonate which is totally insoluble in acetone), evaporate the acetone and enjoy the product.

For the FOAF of SWIM 30mg were for a good STRONG experience.

Having this (or perhaps a category tree with the proper extension installed?) in the OP would make it easier to stay up-to-date:

there's no wrong way to go about it, you use what you have.
I'd vacuum filter it and pour cold pet ether over it, then vacuum desiccate it.
or rotavap it.

Extraction tek for dummies

After spending hours after hours reading different extraction teks, I was starting to think I would never be able to do my own extractions. It all sounded so greek to me, even after looking up most of the new words in the dictionary. But, luckily one day I met a friend who knew how to extract dmt!!! And when he showed it to me, it was actually super easy, and I wrote it down in my own language. Getting that tek made me the most happy person ever!! I guess its more of you out there who have the same problem, so I want to share the tek with you. Its not advanced or anything, but it gives you dmt!

Equippment:

Big glass container
Pipette
Scale, at least a 0.01g
Glass bowl
Plastic to cover the glass bowl
Funnel
Rasor blade
Glows
Ml measures
Breathing mask? Remember to use a well ventilated room.

Mimosa powdered root bark
Ronsonol lighter fluid
Caustic soda, soduim hydroxide 99%
Water(destilled if you have)

The extraction:

* Put 3 litre of water in the glass container.
* Put 200g of sodium hydroxide(caustic soda) in the container, shake well.
* Put 200g of mimosa in the container, shake carfully until proparly mixed. (Open the lid once in a while, to release the pressure.)
* Leave it for about 1 hour.
* Put 300ml of nafta(ronsonol) in the container, and roll or shake very carefully for about 2 min.
* When the nafta is seperated on the top, remove it carefully with the pipette and put it in the glass container. Make sure you only get the nafta.
* Put plastic wrap over and leave it in a very cold freezer for 24 hours.
* Pour the nafta back in the glass container, so you can repeet the process 3-4 times.
* Let the crystals dry, and then remove it from the glass with the rasor blade.

Enjoy!!
