Simple DMT extraction [MHRB, acid/base]

[whippa craka]

This may be very similar to some other tek's but this is what I do and Is what I consider to be the best combination of all of them. If you have any TIPs let me know and I will add them

Materials:
Mimosa tenuiflora/hostilis root-bark
A way to grind the root bark very fine (coffee grinder)
A glass jar with tight lid
Lye (Granulated sodium hydroxide, 100%) - BASE
Naphtha (VM&P) – Non-polar solvent
Separatory funnel or syringe
Coffee Filters
Rubber Gloves (Nitrile preferred)
Freezer
Non-sudsy ammonia (10% min)
Distilled Water

Optional:
Vinegar or another acid to neutralize any Lye Spills
Rubber spatula

Extraction

1. Break the MHRB into as fine of a powder as possible.
2. Combine the NaOH and H2O into the mixing jar SLOWLY (read below)
   • This reaction is exothermic. Add the H2O first and slowly add NaOH.
   • Use 10ml H2O/1 gram NaOH for each gram of root bark.
     1. If bark is pre-powdered, add 1.5-2x as much H2O.
   • Stir while mixing the two to prevent a high concentration of NaOH.
   • A pH of 2 is recommended.
3. Add the powdered MHRB into the mixing jar
   • Add as much MHRB as you did NaOH in grams.
4. Seal and shake vigorously, let sit for 30-60 minutes.
5. Add 1ml of naphtha for each 10ml of H2O to 11-12ph
   • pH 9 is only 0.32 above the pKa (acid dissociation constant) of DMT.
6. Slowly roll the naphtha around the jar for 5 minutes
   • DO NOT SHAKE the jar due to emulsion. Slowly mix the two.
   • If bubbles form and wont separate (emulsion), create a higher pH by adding NaOH or adding table salt. Mix the solution and let sit again.
   • The warmer the solution the better it absorbs DMT. Warm, not hot.
7. Let the jar sit and the naphtha separate in layers
   • If taking longer then 30 minutes there is most likely emulsion. Read above step.
8. Remove the top layer (naphtha) and place in a separate jar.
   • DO NOT collect any of the brown, jungle spice mixture. This is toxic.
   • This can be done many different ways. Use a separation filter or a syringe to suck up the naphtha.
9. Repeat steps 5-8 3x
   • Each one of these steps (5-8) is known as a “pull”. You are extracting the DMT from the mixture.
10. Place all your separate jars of naphtha in the freezer at the coldest setting for at least 8 hours
    • Placing them in fridge and then the freezer may help in crystal production.
11. Pour the cold naphtha through coffee filters into separate containers in the morning
    • Filter the naphtha as quickly as possible out of the freezer. The longer you wait the more DMT you loose.
    • Let the rest of the cold naphtha evaporate to get DMT that did not crystalize. Also less potent.
12. This DMT fresh out of the freezer is the most potent DMT out of your batch. I suggest you separate this from the rest of the DMT you will collect.
13. Using the spatula, remove any paste from the jars and place them on a separate filter
14. Place the filters out to dry
15. To purify, put the designated DMT on a coffee filter and wash with non-sudsy ammonia.
16. Steps 18-21 are optional. Generally done for bulk methods when you cannot do a more simple ammonia wash.
17. Once dried. VAPE IT UP!!!
    
    
    ***OPTIONAL***
18. To purify more, fill a shot glass with ~1g of the DMT, and another with your solvent (ammonia/heptane).
19. Place both in a pan of hot water and slowly add the solvent to the DMT
    • Use eyedropper
    • Stop when DMT is dissolved
    • Use minimal solvent for best results
20. Cool to room temperature.
21. Place the dissolved DMT into the freezer to crystalize.

This is allowed here?

Either way, reads like a solid A/B extraction, though I wouldnt personally use this method. STB > A/B

 

[Captain Brewster]

Could you use a different souce for the dmt instead of mimosa with this tek??

How much of dmt extracted by this method with a 72 kg man need
To smoke

 

[whippa craka]

Generally the yield is 1%. The only run I have done I collected 0.350g from 112g MHRB (0.3% yield). This was because I only collected crystallized DMT from the naphtha and discarded the rest. It was really unnecessary. I will let you know of any results in the future.

And do you concider it pure?
Also other extracts had a acid stage before basifying
Does it still work? Why would ppl do it the other way?

 

[whippa craka]

I considered my yield very pure. An ammonia wash did nothing to it and it was so white and fluffy
I find the biggest factor to be making sure you seperate clear naphtha, not yellow cloudy naphtha or MHRB solution.
