Hi guys,
I was back at my favorite restaurant this afternoon and overheard a guy describing for his friend the results of his first DMT extraction, and thought it might be of interest here. This was his second extraction ever, his first being Mescaline from San Pedro a couple months ago.
Anyway, he described a very straight forward STB approach yielding 1.188 grams of what he believes to be DMT, from 100 grams of powdered MHRB. Luckily, I jotted down the url where he uploaded some pictures, and I was able to retrieve those before losing the napkin upon which they were written.
I'm sure this guy would welcome any feedback or suggestions the forum has. I'd imagine he's probably learned a lot from the members here, and greatly appreciates the wealth of knowledge and experience he finds on these boards.
At any rate, here are the steps he described:
Basification:
------------
1) To 100g of powdered inner bark was added 1.4 liters of distilled water.
2) This was allowed to stir under an overhead mixer until liquefied. Table salt was added as foam appeared which dissipated quickly.
3) While mixing, 200g of NAOH was slowly added.
4) Smooth but vigorous mixing was allowed to continue for 2 hours, after which it was stirred gently for 22 hours.
Solvent Extraction:
------------------
5) To this was added 200ml of Naphtha, which was vigorously stirred for 1 hour on the mixer, stirred gently overnight for 12 hours, then allowed to separate.
6) The Naphtha was drawn off by vacuum and filtered using medium paper.
7) Steps 4 through 6 were repeated four times and the Naphtha pooled. As separation became slow, the mixture was allowed to sit in a hot bath (45 degrees C) for up to 5 hours. He described the hot bath as an old slow cooker or low-temp crock pot.
Only minor emulsions formed, and those were settled with light stirring of the Naphtha layer at the interface with a glass rod.
Freeze Precipitation:
--------------------
8 ) The naphtha was allowed to sit undisturbed in small, cheap, freezer at -20C for 28 hours, after which white precipitates were seen at the bottom and on the sides of the beaker.
9) A flask and Buchner funnel with medium paper were allowed to sit in the freezer to cool. The beaker was swirled, and after the precip settled to the bottom, the naphtha was poured through the filter. Most of the precip stayed in the beaker.
10) A cold plate had been allowed to cool a glass plate to roughly 5 degrees C. The precip was scraped on to the cold plate, behind which was placed a box fan on low. The residual Naphtha was evaporated over an 8 hour period. The fan was removed after 2 hours to avoid blowing off powder flakes.
11) The dried precipitates weighed in at 1.188 grams. The taste is hard to describe. It's a little bitter, harsh tasting, and burns the tongue quite a bit. No blistering or irritation occurs, and the burning subsides after a couple minutes.
Re-Crystallization:
------------------
12) He said this is yet to come. I hope to be able to report these results soon.
