DMT stored for 1,000 years?

[۩]

What if you stored DMT in a super strong capsule and buried it in a treasure chest in the ocean and no one touched it for 1,000 years?

It would turn to DMT oxide within the first few years,

then what?

I seriously think it would end up being okay. Maybe someone with more chem. knowledge knows for sure though.

Maybe purge the container with nitrogen or argon or something, so it doesn't even oxidize.

i'd expect nothing would happen to it if it was well-insulated enough

yeah, DMT under an inert gas at low temperature ought to be immortal

Time capsule time!!!!!

Usually ( but not always) the degradation of a chemical is a result of it's reaction to other chemicals around it. Some chemicals are unstable and tend to break down regardless of the presence of other chems. If you were to place it in a gold lined container and use a noble gas then if it is possible for DMT last it should do so.

I dont know how many years but I think I remember reading of very very old samples of yopo that had dmt and bufo intact.. I dont know enough about chemistry to answer with certainty but seems to me indeed dmt is very stable under normal conditions (even more if buried in cold/dark/dry place) and will not degrade to anything other than, at most, dmt n-oxide

remember to leave a nice instructions letter with it in a bunch of languages

Yeah, according to Wikipedia DMT was found in Cebil powder dated to 2130 BC. The source for that claim is this article, but I can't find the full version.

Nothing...you got stale dmt and a very confused alien...
