Hello to all curious minds out there. I just want to share some information about my experience extracting DMT from the Acacia Confusa AKA small Philippine Acacia. For a plant that is supposedly native to my country it certainly was a challenge finding them. I did research to determine the most likely area where i would find them, and set off into the hills and jungles. Hours of hiking and several attempts all ended in failure. I eventually found some growing by the street in my neighborhood! I did not want to harm them by stripping off the bark. I found a tree with a broken branch and bark falling right off. I took this loose bark and some bark I even found in the ground half buried in mud. In all i collected 1.5kg of dead bark. I was skeptical if I would be able to get any DMT from dead bark since it is my first time doing an extraction and I cant find any info on anyone else trying on old/rotten bark. I cooked up a small batch following the instructions of Willy Myco on youtube. Success! You can get DMT from old/dead bark. This made me feel great because I did not harm the tree which is something I really wanted to avoid. The idea of stripping living bark did not sit well with me. I was able to take some seeds too and plan to grow them in my garden.
1. Dead bark falling off tree. I peeled it off with my hands. Below was the fallen branch half buried in mud with more loose bark that i peeled off.
2. I cleaned the bark with a hatchet down to the red inner part, and washed away the dirt and mud.
3. I cut the bark to bits using a large metal cutter for sheet metal. Then powdered it in a heavy duty blender.
4. First test extraction using freeze precipitation. Crystals form like snowflakes.
5. Final re-crystal after cooking all my bark. I just let the naphtha evaporate, and the crystals formed like Supermans fortress of solitude.
