I wish to start with Mimosa root bark (powdered), de-fat once, extract with acetic acid, basify, wash, extract with a polar solvent, and crystalize using a solvent pair. NO heat. Anyone care to elucidate on usable chemicals? I'd like to avoid pat ether, di-ethly ether, chloroform, and tetrahyodrofuran. MEC is also undesirable. I want stable crytals, not goo. I can work it out myself, but I figure some of you guys already have.
i've read of people successfully using d-limonene as the solvent, calcium hydroxide as the base along with acetic acid. search google for " food safe dmt extraction" your not going to get pure dmt crystals by any means with d-limonene though.
i think that if you don't use heat you will need to substitute that deficiency with an increase in amount of time
Use the tek i posted, except do NOT heat the naptha. Lower yield, but nice white, freebase crystals: http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=398828&f=457
That's pretty standard and it involves pat ether (napatha) so no inovation there. I don't want to broadcast with fumes.
Well, you aren't going to extract DMT without using a non-polar solvent. You just aren't. The best you can do is attempt a food-grade extraction using vinegar (acetic acid) food grade lime (CaOH) and d-limonene (extracted from orange peels)! Process takes a week or two (instead of a day or two) and yields goo rather than crystal freebase. You can find shitty teks elsewhere. i will post one here sometime in the future.
SWIM followed a very similar tek (https://mycotopia.net/forums/dmt-sp...-mhrb-stb-extraction-step-step-pictorial.html) and from 114 grams of (what was assured was high quality MHRB powder - lovely pink/purple color from a reputable Brazilian source) MHRB powder ended up with just over 3 grams of yellow colored crystals/powder. She did 3 naphtha pulls, and has kept the 2 jugs of MHRB, lye etc just in case more spice remains. Since she has no real desire to smoke freebase, she followed a reputable tek to convert to fumarate for oral use. In line with tek info, used 50ml 100% anhydrous acetone per 1 gram of freebase, making another 50ml anhydrous acetone FASA solution with 320mg Fumaric acid. First hint of problem was when virtually none of the freebase dissolved in the acetone, the tek said it should all dissolve almost instantly. After much swirling and stirring, it was clear that it was not going to dissolve. SWIM ran the acetone through a coffee filter, retaining pretty much most of the 1 gram of freebase (thinking at this point that SWIM has something other than freebase DMT!!) Since the FASA solution had already been made, SWIM added to the filtered acetone from the first container and noted that there was very little clouding, which again their should have been a lot of! Disheartened she left the container and went off to do something more constructive. 4 hours later there are white crystals all over the bottom of the container, with some on the sides. SWIM estimates that it's a small fraction of a gram, but hoping this is actually DMT fumarate. Any ideas what could have gone wrong with the initial extraction? Everything looked like it had gone to plan with exactly the same resulting pictures throughout each step of the tek, giving SWIM great confidence that her hard work and attention to detail had paid off. But it seems likely that the resultant crystals/powder from the STB extraction did not actually contain much DMT! Since SWIM has kept the two jars with the original 114 grams of MHRB (with lye and some naphtha etc still in there), is there anything that she can do to see if spice still remains? Seems such a waste, especially given the great shortage of MHRB.
