First off, hi to all the members of this helpful and resourceful website. I have been into my drugs 4 a few years since leaving college. Using (not abusing) my fair share of chemicals on a weekend with mates. Not since recently have i heard anything about DMT, until last month when i encountered it on the all knowledgable erowid.org. I have been researching it since and have become almost fascinated with its purpose and possiblities. Anyway, enough of the bullshit speech and introduction. SWIM purchased 100g of powdered mimosa hostillis form the internet. For SWIM's extraction technique SWIM is following QT'S extraction, although untill visiting this website i have become aware of the fact this is perhaps not the best method to follow. SWIM is using naptha lye and 6%acidity white wine vinegar. SWIM has apllied ph3 acidic water/vinegar to 30g of root bark. SWIM has been placing the jar in a heat bath nightly for for days and shaking the jar for 5mins 4 times a day. On friday SWIM will extract his first time through a cotton filtered funnel then repeat the above process 2 more times. SWIM is debating whether of not to defat this after as many advise there is no need with the mhrb. any suggestions??? also any advice on what root to take next?? and will it be necessary to wash the final crystals with ammonia as SWIM dont think they can find any for purchase on the shelf here in the uk??? Your time reading and responding to this is much appreciated. peace and love reflex
