I performed a DMT extraction quite a while back using QT's DMT extraction as posted on Erowid (http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dmt/extraction_guide1/). I left the root bark in the muriatic acid solution as long as it said in the tek, one day the first time and then a week the next two times. The final product was a redish powder that I scraped off the bottom of a dish.
More recently, I noticed that there were notes added to the tek saying that letting the root bark sit for that long is unnecessary, and the simple heating of the solution for 15-30 minutes each time is enough. So I performed the extraction again, this time heating the solution for 45 minutes each time instead of leaving it for a day then a week.
This time, the final product consisted of a little bit of redish wax-like substance (IMO due to pulling in more than just the lighter fluid) and some transparent oil which I was able to absorb onto a piece of paper. Upon heating of the paper in a vaporization device, there was little smoke and I felt extremely faint effects. In summation, it was a failure.
Has anybody else had this issue? Is it something that I did wrong, or are the notes on Erowid wrong with regards to the timetable required?
It would be surprising to me if it was something else I did wrong since last time it worked perfectly and only the timetable is different. I already messaged Erowid about this, but knowing them, they'll probably just ignore it as they ignored a previous experience report.
