How comes people are so sure what they have is n-oxide anyways? Did anybody make a chemical analysis in it? A lot of people say 'oh its yellow its n-oxide', but thats not good reasoning, it can be yellow for several other reasons.
Also some people say its oxide because its an oil, and thats one of the possibilities but I noticed that depending how its yielded, even normal dmt can be oily (for example certain evaporations can yield an oil that refuses to harden but redissolving and freeze-precipitating will yield crystals, even without doing a zinc oxide reduction). Maybe certain impurities or traces of remaining solvent prevent crystallization, or maybe its just the way the molecules arrange themselves making them remain in that kind of oily state, I dont know..
Then there are people that say its oxide because it was for example white dmt but then after long storage it changed appearance, got darker, more waxy. This could potentially be oxidation of dmt, but it could also be that it was only a small amount of oxidation on the outside, not even significant for pharmacological difference, or it could be oxidation of other non-dmt small impurities on the surface of crystals..
And even if people would be sure that they have n-oxide, how many of these people claiming the differences actually did blind-tests ? I never get how people can be so certain of differences in dmt, if I can have COMPLETELY different trips even with the same batch in the same setting with same intentions in the same day, only some minutes/hours appart... ?
I think a lot of it may be self-suggestion, or just people not having had enough experiences with the batches to see how varied the experiences can be, making judgements from one or another experience.
(just had to put this critical questioning out there, im not saying that for sure people dont have n-oxide or that for sure n-oxide is not different than dmt, maybe it is maybe its not, only real testing would tell.. Lets not jump into conclusions too fast)
