Acacia vs. Mimosa derived DMT--Does NMT content change effect?

[Harold the Hoot]

Hello folks, I've been lurking on here for years, but decided to try and learn more about the tryptamines.

I'm a chemist by training, and a few years ago had a nice yield of DMT from acacia confusa using an acid/base extraction. I only tried it a few times, but ended up sharing the love with friends so it went quick.

I'm hoping to explore dmt as part of an ongoing battle with depression. I intend to use it with great respect, and for it's therapeutic value.

I used acacia last time because it was significantly cheaper than mimosa. The cost of both has gone up significantly, but more importantly I've learned that Acacia, in addition to DMT, contains significant NMT. Some people claim that this can dramatically change the experience between the 2.

I have very little experience with DMT. 1 acacia extraction, 3 experiences smoking it.

For you folks who have more experience, can you provide a little info on how the presence or absence of NMT has on the effect?

I'm still trying to find a source for acacia and/or mimosa. A lot of vendors online, but no way of knowing what's really going to arrive. I had a good root bark dealer, but their page is down and they aren't answering direct emails.

Thanks for any info!

The bark is going up for sure, importation regulations are getting tightened (depending where you live). It's why I bought 500g MHRB when I did and now got loads of DMT to last a very long time. MHRB is out of stock suddenly where I am now from the solid suppliers. I'm just glad I got a good bit of it now before all the commotion starts. They say NMT is in the yellower stuff from later pulls and the 'goo'. Others on here will be able to give more info on that. I thought it was more present in the later pulls and yellower and stickier/waxier type stuff.

Btw no talk of sourcing on here. Which is understandable.

This is an excellent question, which unfortunately I cannot answer. I can only offer this perspective:

Mimosa trees are pretty hardy and can sustain being hacked into. When I was a kid, I had several (not the active type) growing in my yard at one point, and my dad had quite a time trying to get rid of them. They just kept growing back.

Acacias can withstand some pruning, and will put out shoots of new growth in the areas they've been cut. In other words, harvesting their phyllodes, twigs and branch bark is sustainable. Ripping off trunk and/or root bark is not, and can kill the tree, or at least stunt its growth and make it less healthy.

I heard the same. Mimosa can be invasive where they're not really originated from and become annoying for homeowners. In Australia the enthusiasts like to go after a storm or a good bit of wind to go get the stems from acacias. The rangers keep an eye out for the ones destroying the trees, but what's already on the ground like stems and branches then they don't care.
