So what the difference between the two what makes Acacia Confusa more likeable for you.
DMT is DMT.
I didn't say that I like it more. My Preference is for MHRB if I'm extracting bc it has so few plant fats to deal with. Makes the extraction process really easy. ACRB (that's
Acacia Confusa Root Bark) needs to be de-fatted by washing the initial polar layer extraction with a non-polar solvent.
The difference though—in my estimate, anyway—is the entourage effect that small amounts of the various demethylated analogs and beta-carbolines that surround the desired
n,n-DMT. So for example, ACRB is known for having about equal portions of NMT to DMT. And what is NMT? A demethylated form of DMT, and by this I mean, instead of
n,n-
dimethyltryptamine it is n-methyltryptamine. Its amine is missing a methyl group compared to DMT. Another name for it is: monomethyltryptamine. It's active, just not visually active. Isolated and taken on its own, NMT is boring and damn near inactive. But taken with DMT at the same time, and it has a tendency to 'flavor' the trip in a different manner, giving it its own personality, so to speak.
I find this interesting, because in a similar, analogous manner, various mushroom species/strains/variants, I believe, exhibit their own "personality" through a similar entourage effect. While psilocin might be the star of the show, baecystin, norbaeocystin, norpsilocin, psilocybin, and even the 4-xO-trimethyltryptamine equivalents perhaps weigh in on the final experience in some meaningful way to the end user. That's my hunch anyway, and I just find it cool to think about it as if each plant has something unique to teach me. I just have to unlock it and surround it with my body, get the lesson to my brain so I can experience in the
theatre of my mind and take in Mother Nature's Great Lessons, as it were.
Although there is also Phalaris Arundinacea which to me being a grass seems it will grow way faster.
The percentage of alkaloids is much lower though and that chlorophyll is difficult to deal with. It wants to form emulsions really badly. Lots of defatting and filtration is required along the way, and generally it's a pain in the ass. You can't beat the root barks for the lack of chlorophyll and ease of extraction. Reed canary grass extractions are time consuming and I believe they come with some 5-MeO-DMT with it, which will certainly change the overall effect…
Men only all those solvents they use. NaOH I allready found a bit dangerous (always had vinegar within reach)
Just wear goggles and keep the NaOH off of you, but it's nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be. Firstly, it's sodium, which is basically salt, and it's a hydrogen and an oxygen. Pair it with another hydrogen and it's water. You could use lime if you insist on using so-called 'natural' or 'organic' sources, but this is just superstition. Things from the earth will absolutely kill you fastAF, and there are man-made chemicals that will save your goddamn life in the right crisis, believe that. You know when you have surgery and they use anesthesia first so you don't feel it? Well that anesthesia is as man-made as it gets, and trust me – you want that anesthesia.
A simple A/ B extraction is that possible? Not using any hazardous substances to extract.
Everything is hazardous. Have you ever read the MSDS on water, aka: "Dihydrogen Monoxide"? Water is a hazardous substance in some perspectives… "Dihydrogen monoxide is highly corrosive and causes asphyxiation." Well yeah, you can't breathe water, and we all know it rusts ferric metals… I propose to you that NaOH is less toxic than bleach, but most homes have bleach under a sink somewhere… You can use pickling lime, instead, but it isn't basic enough and will not get the pH sufficiently high enough for a full recovery of the alkaloids in the plant. It will render some, but why leave money on the table like that, so to speak? Lye is perfectly fine to use, and besides, various lyes occur in nature sometimes (rainwater+wood ash, for example). Lyes are used to pickle foods, and they are an essential ingredient in soap-making. As for a non-polar solvent, naphtha, hexane and heptane are all petroleum distillates, which come from fossil fuels, which are obviously fossils of once living matter, so when you think about it, this is something of a natural source as well. D-limonene can be used instead and some swear it's all natural and supposedly "food safe", but there's not a chance I would ever just gulp down pure d-limonene, fuck that shit. It's nasty, noxious goop in my opinion. And besides, by the time the extract is used the solvents should be long evaporated.
I saw that Emkee in a publication of a magazine called Entheogen Review and possibly in Johnathon Ott's Pharmacotheon Entheogenic Drugs, their plant sources and history. Mimosa tenuiflora being active without a MAOI was stated. In the magazine it seemed most that tried got nothing. But Johnathon Ott says he got effects.
Yeah I'm dubious of this being psychoactive like that on its own. We all have different enzymologies anyway, so perhaps Jonathan Ott had a particularly sensitive system or something… idk.
