obtaining naphta

Hello!
I'm from a former USSR country and here we have different traditions not only in drinking but also in household chemicals. No one here is familiar with such a substance "naphta". Solvent stores are full of different substances with strange names like "whitespirit" or "terpentine", however, none of them are named naphta. Could you please help me with finding it or suggest a similar solvent? I have heard that lighter fluids contain naphta, but they are way too expensive for me.
 
the issue is that in different places, things like 'white spirit' have different meanings. Where SWIM is at, white spirit is a mixture of naphtha and xylene, so it pulls more than just dmt, one cant get pure white crystals with it, only 'jungle spice', and xylene is quite toxic so SWIM doesnt like it. Maybe where you live, white spirit is naphtha... does it say anything more specific in the listed ingredients?

go to paint supply stores, or also hardware stores, and look in the solvent section. Memorize/write down (without people noticing, you dont want to call attention) the different solvents and listed ingredients. What you are looking for is an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent, better if its in between C5 and C9 (from 5 to 9 carbon groups). Aromatic solvents such as xylene and so on can be used but as mentioned, dont yield pure dmt, but a mix of some other things together with dmt.

Go to the google and write down the name of the brand (and if possible the CE or whatever other chemical information number listed), and see if there is more detailed information on the internet about the specific solvents you can find there...

good luck, and feel free to ask more questions
