How long should the process be?

[PrimeMilleniumV2]

I was wondering how long it should take to get the bark to final product. I've done 2 complete cycles from start to finish. The first time I was careful and it took me almost a month to do 2 kilos. This time It was almost 2 weeks for 1 kilo and I've heard that it can be done in 2 days or so. And i want to get my process down to that. Any tips?



I start with 2 cups distilled water, 100g Bark, 75g Lye and 150ml naptha. I have 3 jars going in a crock pot at once. I let then sit in the hot water with intermittent light Stirring every 20 min or so. And do that for 2ish hours. Then pipette it off, and freeze for 24h. Dry it and mix with 150ml of warm heptane till it's dissolved, then pipette out the dark orange stuff. And then put in a little dish and freeze again.

I want to shorten my process down. Please help.

The photo is finished result of a small batch after heptane.

That's an awful lot of bark to be processing - more than a lifetime's worth, perhaps…

No commercial-scaled extractions and reckless “spreading”

The Nexus is not a place for commercial operations and we do not want to support drug dealers; we believe in using these substances for personal use.

If and when sharing these substances, we believe that it has to be done without money or other payments involved, with a careful approach and care when facilitating the introduction and/or experience of others.

It is imperative to take care that the person ingesting has no contraindicating medical/psychological history, takes it in a proper set and setting, and correct dosage/method of ingestion. This cannot be done if the substances are spread on a large scale. We do not want to "turn on the world", those who are ready will seek it. Indiscriminate spreading of psychedelics can lead to potential serious damage to people and is a big legal liability. Big extractions (and the preparations leading to it and gathering of materials) can attract the attention of the Law.

You should be able to extract 100 grams easily in one evening. Taking more than 10 days for a whole kilo, therefore, suggests poor methodology and/or poor technique.

Also thank you for the reply. I wasnt aware of the dangers of reckless spreading. I'm not trying to do that. My goal is aspiritual journey. I've wanted to have a breakthrough ask my life and I feel am finally ready. But have been unable to get there.

Well, you should be able to get somewhere with far less than 1kg of bark, so maybe something's up with your method of self-administration, or you could be one of those unfortunate few with unusually refractory CNS serotonergic systems.

What have been your experiences thus far? What methods have you tried and what have your doses been?

Btw, I can relate to an obsessive tendency of wanting to be knee-deep in crystalline product, but there really shouldn't be any hurry - but nor is there anything wrong with desiring a parsimonious approach to the extraction process. I'd be very surprised if you were still feeling the same sense of urgency after even your first gram (calculated as three daily doses of 30mg for a month) if you've been consuming it effectively, let alone ten to twenty grams…

It would be sad to be wasteful in all of this.

I have tried vape carts, pipes, and bongs. I can get to a point where everything looks cartoony and I get closed eye visuals. Intense body euphoria. But that seems to be the most i can get. Pipe and bong are super harsh and is difficult to smoke. Carts I know are ineffective when it comes to breakthroughs. So I've heard. I've heard that putting some on a bowl of weed is a good idea. But haven't tried it.

I don't do it everyday. It's probably been a week or two since my last try.

Do you reccomend a route of administration that has been effective for you? I'd be eager to try.

That sounds like an issue regarding technique. Burnt DMT is awful! Were you using a bed of herbs, or how else did you apply flame to the material?

Fortunately, the rest of your questions in this area can be answered through reading up on all the various methods detailed and discussed in this forum section:

Preparations and Methods of Administration

Potions, brews, elixirs, and concoctions

which should spare me from having to write out a full list

Awesome. Thank you sir! I'll read that here shortly. And i haven't tried with herb yet. I've just heard about it. I use one of those little butane torches.
