Accidentally made changa on NOT recrystallized DMT

[kangela]

So, fool of the year award goes to....

There were two batches on the table - one recrystallized, one still not recrystallized. They were mixed up and the enhanced leaf mix was made with the uncrystallized batch. Now it is in a jar, slowly drying ...

Extraction was done with an A/B with heated naphtha (˜70 degrees C), the naphtha was quite yellow, and the crystallized spice was a mix of white and yellow crystals, and some small amounts of yellow more gooey stuff here and there..

So, what are the options?

1. Just smoke it. What do you think?
2. Re-extract the DMT from the herb mix (passionflower/blue lotus)

So, if one was to choose #2 (re-extraction), how would they do that?
First let it dry out completely (suitable ethanol was used as a solvent), and then what? Make another A/B extraction of the leaf mix? Or would just adding naphtha do the job?

Help! (Please ..)

Is it enhanced leaf or changa (aka harmalas added)? That changes the overall cleanup process.

More importantly, yellow and goo dont equal impure/dangerous product. Those are normal variances in the potential appearance of clean/safe product.
Is there something about your process or that batch in particular that leaves you feeling it is unsafe or contains contaminants?

Well, nothing in particular. Much care was taken not to get lye into the crystallization vessel. And the naphtha used was original zippo lighter fluid.

But after searching the forum for quite some time, one has only read posts of people skipping the re-crystallization if their crystals came out really white and fluffy, and has yet to come across a post from someone skipping re-x if their spice came out yellow.

Also, hot extractions are generally labelled as "containing more impurities" here on the forum. And judging from the yellow color of the naphtha and crystals, this might be the case? But being impure doesn't necessarily mean that it's hazardous to smoke?

And yes, we're talking about enhanced leaf. DMT + passionflower/blue lotus, dissolved in suitable ethyl. No harmalas.

You'll be fine if you've already ensured that your naphtha evaporates cleanly - even if the yellow material contained traces of trepped solvent, that is effectively gone now that it's been through the cycle of dissolving in ethanol and evaporating that off again. Furthermore, the yellow colour typically comes from oligomers and polymorphic behaviour and some people even prefer it. Pure white crystals only seem to be more of an imperative when producing e-juice, where thinking goes it will last a longer time before the coil gets clogged up.
