I'll try to keep this simple, if any part of this report is not clear please ask. Pictures are provided after the relevant step.
Two extractions were done, with slightly different methods. I will note differences by placing the second extraction in parenthesis. The second extraction yielded more product from less bark. Pictures were taken during the first extraction.
Ordered from the internet:
•500 g MHRB, powdered
•2 lb food grade lye
Locally bought:
•VM&P naptha
•Paint filters
•White distilled vinegar
•Distilled Water
•pH Strips

basically this tec: good'ol A/B with lye and vinegar - A/B - Welcome to the DMT-Nexus
Acidic Phase
Approx 1000ml Water was mixed with 2 Tbsp (1/2 cup) white distilled vinegar and 160g (150g) powdered bark. Resulting solution was boiled for 30 minutes.
Solution was allowed to sit for 12 hours while it separated into 2 distinct layers: a light-colored viscous layer on the bottom, and a dark red watery layer on the bottom. Darker layer was poured off and saved.
(Goey layer was mixed with 700ml water and 1/2 cup vinegar and boiled for 30 minutes. Again solution was allowed to separate for 12 hours and the new dark layer was poured off and mixed with layer poured off earlier.)
Light-colored goey layer was discarded. Saved liquid was poured through four paint filters and then boiled down to 600ml.
Defatting
(150 ml VM&P naptha was mixed with dark red layer and shaken for ten minutes. Polar and nonpolar layers were allowed to separate. Nonpolar layer was siphoned off and discarded.)
Basic Phase
Approximately 2 tbsp food grade lye was added to dark red, polar solution. The solution quickly changed to a deep black, an oily sheen could be seen on the surface, and the solution gave off a powerful odor. pH strips indicated a pH of at least 14.
The basic polar solution was mixed with 150ml naptha and shaken for ten minutes. The mixture was then heated to 120°F and allowed to separate. Emulsion resolving over 60 minutes: The clear nonpolar layer was siphoned off with a syringe and collected in a pan. Two more times fresh naptha was added to the polar layer, agitated, and siphoned off.
The resulting 450ml of naptha was heated and evaporated with a hair dryer down to 45ml. When allowed to return to room temperature, the naptha became cloudy. The naptha was poured onto a smaller dish and placed into a freezer.
After 12 hours the naptha was poured off the dish and about 500 (700) milligrams of white powder were collected. The naptha was allowed to evaporate completely and and additional 300 (500) milligrams of orange goo were collected.
~Results~
Tests with final product indicate both substances obtained are N,N-Dimethyltryptamine, the white powder being slightly more pure than the orange goo. Both smell of plastic with no trace of naptha.
