DMT long term storage

[ChiefShroom]

I store my medicine in a mason jar in a cool dark room. What is the shelf life? Is there anything I can do to prevent deterioration?

Use something to exclude oxygen from the jar, like wine-preserving argon. Dark, cool and airtight is about as good as you can get in the absence of using an inert atmosphere.

I second what Transform said.

A mason jar is very spacious and you likely haven't filled it (unless you've been busy ). It' better to pack it as densely as you can with as little air exposure in the container as possible. If you want to extend it's life even further you might consider turning it into a salt like DMT fumarate and store this the same way.

I have dry and dry silica gel packets I can toss one in! That should work ahe?

It may help, but @Orion makes a good point that you hant to minimise the amount of air (oxygen) in the container. Silica gel absorbs moisture but not oxygen. There are various ways of displacing, removing, or absorbing the oxygen for improving long term storage.

How do you spray the argon in without blowing stuff everywhere? special lid? links to your setup?

Good question.

You can put the argon in the jar before adding powder or whatever loose material you had in mind. Argon is denser than air and stays put for a bit. Having the loose material in a second, smaller container may make things more convenient to handle.

There's an element of imagination and creativity that might come into play at any point. Small cylinders of welding gas can be fitted with a pressure regulator, making slow gas flow possible. Wine preserving gas will likely require a different solution.

Converting to a salt is the best starting point, especially in combination with the above. Suggest benzoate or fumarate.

would vacuum sealing be good option?
