Not sure if this has been posted before, but quite an interesting paper on Acacias from this year. Full paper attached below.

The first law enforcement attendance at an N,N-dimethyltryptammine
(DMT) clandestine extraction laboratory (clan lab) in Western
Australian (WA) occurred in 2008.

"Attendance..." ‽

If that isn't a George Carlinism, I don't know what is.

It certainly gives new meaning to attending school... or attending a concert....

And here is another recent paper on DMT content in Acacia, but a very underwhelming paper with very little information, no species name and no discussion on other compounds found and what are the characteristics of the PCA clusters.

Good stuff. Thanks for making the paper accessible. Pretty rough that someone died doing an extraction but for the same token mixing highly flammable solvents with gas as the heating source is pretty fucking stupid.

They certainly get a Darwin Award!

They didn't list Coleii? Disappointing. But some awesome data.
