Melatonin

[GoreyLarson]

I am fresh out the womb in the DMT-Nexus.
SWIM has smoked spice 8 times and is desperate to get more.
Since I can't post in any of the more sophisticated boards yet, can anyone tell me if its even feasible to synthesize spice from melatonin, being that it's legal over the counter and the chemical structure is close?
I have taken a high school chemistry class, nothing more, so I'm not planning on doing this by myself or any time soon. Curiosity got the better of me so I figured if there was anywhere to get the info this was the place.
Please help, I greatly appreciate it!

I'm not an expert at organic chemistry, but right off I would say no. Both radicals on the nitrogen are wrong in melatonin. Plus you have an extra methoxy group you don't want on the ring (unless your goal is 5-MeO DMT). Of course just about any organic chemical can be synthesized from just about any other given enough effort. But the path you are describing appears to me to be very difficult, even for an experienced chemist. Someone correct me if I am wrong about this.

Even if you could synthesize it from melatonin, I don't think this would be a particularly cheap way to get DMT. Aren't melatonin tablets only a milligram or so each? Assuming near 100% yield (highly unlikely for an organic synthesis) you would need a bottle of 30 pills just for one average DMT dose.

no.

there is no practical way of synthing dmt from melatonin.
a metabolic pathway doesn't even exist for it

no synth talk here, sorry guys thread is being locked
