What I'm trying to say is that acetic acid is corrosive in high concentrations. How can you suggest that people smoke DMT acetate when you don't know the concentrations they are inhaling? Are you saying that DMT acetate is less corrosive than freebase DMT? I'd accept that cause you seem like a knowledgeable person, I just didn't know that freebase DMT was less detrimental to your health to stick in your lungs than acetic acid vapors. Got any data?
There is no official data on DMT acetate. Only the data you’ll find from users of it exists.
Put freebase DMT on your tongue. It burns like HELL. Put DMT acetate on your tongue, its much more pleasant. I think the same would apply to your lungs.
Some people feel pain in their lungs when they smoked DMT, even pure DMT. This is because it's caustic. It burns you. It's a base like sodium hydroxide. Bases chemically burn you if they are strong enough.
When you couple a base with an acid, you lower both the acid's acidity and the base's alkalinity. You make it burn you less.
It's just like when you put sodium hydroxide on your tongue. It burns like hell and makes a hole. If you put hydrochloric acid on your tongue, it also burns like hell. But if you mix hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, you make sodium chloride. That’s table salt. That doesn’t burn at all. The same thing applies with alkaloids which are bases, like DMT. While acetic acid is irritating, and DMT burns you like hell, DMT acetate is less irritating. The odor of pure DMT acetate is not the strong odor of vinegar. It’s the odor of DMT acetate, which is unique.
The only way the acetic acid might be as irritating as vinegar is if it came apart while smoking the DMT acetate or there was free acetic acid left in the end product (not drying it properly can cause that). If it broke into DMT and acetic acid, then it might be irritating, but it doesn’t seem to do that. It seems to vaporize as DMT acetate. How do I know? Because people who smoke it say it takes longer to come up and has a stronger body load. That is proof it is DMT acetate and not breaking apart as it’s vaporized. Another thing that’s proof is that the vapor would have the taste of vinegar and DMT, but it has the taste of DMT acetate.
There is no other hard core “proof” other than from various user’s experimentation.
