EDIT: If you plan on extracting dmt for the first time, it could help to read this. Theres a lot you learn for next time you do an extraction and this is what I learned.
about a year ago, I came across DMT and ever since reading about it, I've always wanted to do it. I had several obstacles, one being the materials and two being the rootbark. But after months of searching, I found a reliable vendor that sold me fresh mimosa hostilis powder. The problem after that was how I could pay them. Luckily, they accepted bitcoin and in my city, there was one machine I had to longboard to all the way on the other side. While I was waiting 2 weeks for it to show up at my door, I bought all the materials I needed. Each and every one was bought from a different store because I either didn't have the money or they didn't sell it. My rootbark came in the mail and I bought my naphtha. With everything ready, I began extracting. This is how it went down.
As soon as I got the powder, I had to buy naphtha and deionised water. But impatiently, I searched the whole town for the yellow bottle blue cap ronsonol and found it in one store that sells meth pipes to minors. Instead of starting the extraction the next day, I just went right ahead and did it. No distilled water. I was super duper OCD about making sure I
did not fuck up and everything was going quite well until disaster. The cheese wizz jar I kept everything in broke at very bottom. It looks like someone just cut the bottom off. This happened while it was in the heat bath. Brown water spilled all over my desk. But this wasn't all of the solution, that was mainly just the water in the heat bath. I thought I ruined everything up by adding another 140ml of water to my solution. This was a HUGE pain especially since it was 4 in the morning. Way longer than I thought it was (which was way off) So I grabbed 2 jars and put my solution in both. The rest of my extraction, fingers crossed I would yield something. I then added the naphtha and started my pulls. And because I passed out the night before with this giant mess, I spent the whole day making dmt. A few hours after I left my first in the freezer, I already saw crystals forming. That point, I was 95% sure I had DMT. The next morning, I dried the dishes and scraped off the dmt. The ronsonol lighter fluid pulled a brown, oil like substance that was kinda like hash. This was from my second pull and before I made the pull, my solvent had some dark red stuff in it that fogged it all up. The jar looked like the surface of mars.
After removing the crystals, I didn't have a scale. But I wanted to test it. So I filled my home made vape up with just a little bit (probably 20 mg) and smoked it. No burn, not very much taste and it smelled like the rootbark mixture. Very sweet and exotic like something from the amazon rain forest. My oil rig I used it with now has a distinctive taste to it that reminds me of smarties. I did put a bit of the brown stuff in and it didn't effect anything.
My trip, wasn't really enough to fully experience DMT hyperspace but even still, it was the highest I've ever been. Not to mention my vape worked exceptionally well. I may even post a tutorial on how to make one (involves a pyrex test tube, a spring, screen + steel wool) not too sure if everyone does it this way, but I plugged both ends of the hollow tube and held the dmt over a candle flame. I watched it evaporate and fill the tube with vapor. When I thought there was enough, I put it on my bubbler and inhaled a massive vapor rip. You can even inhale using just the tube. As soon as the DMT hit my lungs, euphoric rushes went through my body. After wards, I just got higher and higher and higher. The effects lasted 50 minutes after taking. Music was amazing, smell was amazing, outside was amazing, my bed was amazing, everything in the universe just blew my mind. And just like that, I fell in love with DMT.
I've learned lots from this first extraction. Like.. get a better jar or something. A cheese wizz jar was just not suited for this. I also need to make sure I don't boil the water for heat baths. I recall people on this forum saying you should be able to keep your fingers in water. Next time, I will be more prepared with deionised water for better quallity. One thing I didn't do was actually weigh out the lye, the rootbark and the salt. instead, I looked up how much cubic space took up every gram. I used 1.7 tablespoons of table salt, 23ml of lye and just threw in all the rootbark. Speaking of salt, I have read somewhere on here that table salt is not what you should be using. Instead, sea salt. I don't see why, but I also don't see why not. Last but not least, no more starting extractions at midnight.
I can't wait to attempt more extractions
