For quite a while I have been interested in the potential mystical effects of Melatonin (N-Acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine). It is commonly known that even light (500ug-20mg) doses used orally for sleep aid can cause some pretty vivid dreams. I decided to extract the melatonin out of some 10mg pills I had lying around. Here's what I found.
Extraction: (in brief)
300mg of melatonin in pill form was pulverized and extracted using a filter and 91% Isopropyl Alcohol. 215mg of material was yielded from the extraction. Had a reddish-brown color (likely contained impurity absorbed by the 9% water in the IPA). 5mg was vaporized on de-coated aluminum foil. A naphthalene smell identical to dmt was noted.
Effects
40mg was loaded into a clean DMT pipe loosely based on "the key v2". The dose was inhaled in 4 consecutive hits in about 1 minute. DMT taste and similar to vaporize.
Effects did not reach the peak in minutes as expected, but instead built for about an hour. Eventually, staying awake became nearly impossible and I lied down to sleep for 4 hours. Before falling asleep, a strange floating feeling and slight euphoria were noted. When I awoke, I did not remember my dreams and continued to feel drowsy for the rest of the day.
The next day before bed I prepared a "capsule" containing the remaining 170mg and took it about an hour before bed. Very emotionally intense and vivid dreams were noted in the first half of the night (I woke up to use the bathroom), whereas the rest of the night, my dreams were fairly normal.
Final Thoughts:
I believe that melatonin may have some secrets we have yet to unlock. Granted, the effects that I felt were quite subtle. However, this drug is usually taken in quite small doses even though up to 800mg/kg has been established as quite safe. I am currently out of mel, but will do another extract soon. Stay tuned.
