mini A/B without NP step at the end

I wonder if one cannot simply collect DMT freebase from sodium carbonate-basified water, by decanting + drying. Very few people seem to be doing this.

Is this because...

1) It doesn't work very well? (poor yield?)
2) Having traces of sodium carbonate in final product is undesirable/harmful?
