Heat Damaged DMT?

[DisEmboDied]

It seems as though about a gram of my fairy dust has been damaged by heat, it was light yellow, was left out in the heat (I had no other choice at the time), and over a couple of weeks has turned brown and doesn't seem to work as good. Will re-crystallizing or the like work you think? Is there anything I can do to bring it back?

Hard to say, I would try to recrystallize it. Only way to be sure.

Agreed.. Maybe a quick sodium carbonate wash if you wanna be super careful.

No real idea but I wonder if this could be partially down to (or causative of) oxidization.

Whats your method of smoking?

Recrystallizing is good, I'd do it with at least half of the stash just for the sake of it, but even as it is, it should be still active.

GVG Endless, it is still active, but it went from light yellow to almost brown from the heat I suspect. I only suspect that it has lost potency from this. It seems as though this would have to be the case....hmmmm...

How did it get that way in a GVG? You're still using the ceramic filter between the flame, right? If so, there should be no problem with it.

Also, I hope you didn't pack that whole gram in there... :shock:

Not in my experience.. It should be perfectly active, at least when it happened to me it was

One can convert it to an alkaloid salt like fumarate and then back to freebase. Cleans up nicely.

if it oxidized (i am not knowledgeable enough to know if this is actually the case or not, but i would think it to be a possiblity) you can convert it back to fb with vinegar and zinc dust.

whether or not heat causes oxidization is another matter.

I have some hostillis DMT that is more than a year old and has melted into goo and changed colors over time...
And was re desolved in napatha a couple times it recrystalized a few times over to a darker color..
I finaly desolved it in alchol and made changa out of it...
When i smoke it..I expect it to be active.. there isnt much that can hurt the DMT molecule except open flame at a very high temp...I have read...
When i fire up my changa ill know for shure though...
