Greetings from South Africa

Any questions or problems you may run into during an extraction can be asked to get other members input in this thread.

Hi all, I am from South Africa and am lost with regards to finding info on which local plants have a high enough concentration of DMT to make extraction viable.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi, welcome!

There are definitely active acacias in your country. Scrolling down the forum menu, you'll find both the Collaborative Research Project and The Ethnobotanical Garden where there are pointers on things like acacia species.

Both the search function and the wiki should help you with homing in on more region-specific ethnobotanical information. Should any further, more specific questions which arise - ask away!
 
Hello howzit.
From SA too. also interested in finding DMT containing trees.
Let me know what you find and Ill do the same.
 
Here's a hint: it's best to start educating yourselves about botanical resources for your region, as well as looking into obtaining seeds for cultivation of active species if at all possible.

Awareness of sustainable harvesting practices is also crucial, since indiscriminate removal of trunk bark or roots will lead to the premature death of the tree. Many species have active phyllodes which sometimes even just drop off the tree for collection.

Additionally, I'll soon be adding a list of Delosperma species in which DMT has been detected.

As mentioned earlier, no South African trees — that we know of — have significant quantities of DMT. I've checked. :)

Hi, welcome.

It would be very helpful to have a list of inactive or weakly active acacias, particularly with figures or qualitative descriptions, which could help to save people some trouble.

Of course, it's easy to imagine that any active acacias in SA would remain a closely-guarded secret - and quite understandably so. It would be desirable to avoid the tragedy of reckless over-harvesting that has been seen in Australia.

This all points to cultivation being the most viable way forward, whether acacia, mimosa or some of the aizoaceous species.

Astute point, didn't think of that at all.
