Lets change the world together

[Socrastotle]

Hello Everybody,

My name is Socrastotle, i am a self taught chemist, mycologist, and ethnobotanist among other things. For the better part of a decade I've been researching consciousness, the origins of religon, and the use of psychedelic substances. i truly believe that these substances, if used properly, could change the world. My goal UPON THE LEGALIZATION OF P. CUBENSIS, is to produce a pharmaceutical grade pure psilicybin isolate manufactured from psilocybe cubensis. My research has brought me to DMT-NEXUS as my research has recently showed me how similar psilocybin and psilocin are when compared to dimethyltriptamine, given this latest revelation it is my intention to learn as much about the chemical and physical properties of DMT as i can in order to further my understanding of the chemical and physical properties of psilocin and psilocybin. i am hoping that your wise, knowledgeable community accepts me into this sacred circle. i would love to become a full member so i can share my findings with other like minded researchers.

-Thanks

I BELIEVE IN THE FREE EXCHANGE OF THOUGHTS AND IDEAS, I BELIEVE IN SCIENCE

I very much feel that the United States is taking a second look at psychedelics and their potential in treating mental health. The stigma seems to falling away in many areas of the country. I am hopeful to see psychedelic clinics opening before too long. Fingers crossed!

Welcome to the Nexus! I certainly look forward to any contributions you make here!

Unfortunately DMT extraction won't work well for psiloc(yb)in.

That's because it will become negatively charged at high pH, and it can degrade at high pH. It can also degrade during exposure to light and air. The air degradation is a big issue since that is what a lot of home experiments use.

That being said, we have been able to get a clean MS signal crashing psilocin with FASA out of Xylene. Before that, the psilocin was moved into the Xylene from an water extract that was made highly ionic using ammonium sulfate. Unfortunately, yields were low and the process is cumbersome and stinky - not recommended.

Currently we are doing some work using cation exchange resins (available over the counter in the consumer market as water softeners). So far it is very promising, and that work continues. We also want to test HPBCD as a way to stabilize the molecule during the air dry - otherwise a more complex drying method may be needed (freeze vacuum dry or inert atmosphere).

The nice thing about the cation resins is that if it works it can be useful for many things.

- DMT extraction without solvents.
- Simpler rue extraction, which can recover Harmalol also (which is air sensitive).
- Separate chlorophyll from salvinorin
- Bufotenin
- Going back to mushrooms, ion resin could remove ternary ammonium compounds that could cause wood lovers paralysis.
- Mescaline isolation

So a lot of promise, but we need to work on it to see if any good results can be achieved.
