quick question

[InFlames420]

One tek I read about extractions said that you need to soak the material in an acid for about a week then repeat 2 or 3 times. Another said to leave the material in the acid overnight, simmering on the stove, then repeat 2 times. Will it work to just simmer it overnight? Another question is how long do chems like DMT or Bufotenin last in an acidic solution?

you can skip the acid step altogether and go straight to base see erowid's dmt for the masses

indefinitely.

DMT is stable in an acidic environment, but not in a basic one. A/B extraction is old-school... tried and true. straight base extraction is the sloppy lazy man's tek. I have a hunch the so-called "higher yields" also includes plant phospholipids, and a slew of other alkaloids. if i ever get around to doing both teks, I'll run them both through hplc (I suspect numerous peaks with the base extraction, indicating a mess)

sounds fairly simple the old garbage in garbage out time and patience is key go the long way if its better in the long run know that from x but never done dmt any other way and was just a quick sesh 4 tha boys lol
