So, over in this thread I developed a technique to separate out NMT from DMT in ACRB extractions.
I finally got around tonight to trying the NMT that was recovered from that process. I had NMT fumarate, so in order to test it I converted it to NMT freebase and then enhanced some mullein with it. The fumarates were converted by mixing them about 1:1 with sodium carbonate and moistening the mixture, then pulling with acetone (I accidentally added too much water so I had to use a spoon to separate the goopy NMT from the sodium carbonate. The freebase NMT itself is a sticky off-white/light-yellow goo.
I tried 100mg of approximately 50/50 NMT/leaf (mixture not exact due to my problems converting to freebase). The smoke was not harsh at all (the leaf was still a bit damp with water and I think this helped keep the temps down). I immediately felt a very strong DMT-like body load. However, there were only very subtle visual effects, similar to strong cannabis or threshold-level DMT. Some kind of noisy, flashy closed-eye visuals but nothing very DMT-like. The body load and subtle visuals are still affecting me somewhat as I write this around 15 minutes after smoking the leaf. It's not unpleasant but I wouldn't consider it to be pleasant either, because of the strong body load and minimal other effects. There seems to be almost no change in headspace whatsoever. I checked my pupils in a mirror immediately after smoking and didn't notice any significant dilation such as would be observed with DMT. My eyes felt really dry though.
All in all, I would say that this corroborates the report given by Shulgin in TiHKAL. Minimal effects overall, mostly body load. I will probably try this again with a higher dose since I used 1g of NMT to make the leaf so I have plenty of material to test with. I will update if I have any different experiences in the future.
As a side note, I think I'm going to try moistening my DMT leaf in the future before smoking it to see if that helps keep it from flaming up and produce smoother smoke. This NMT leaf smoked very well with the small amount of moisture still in the leaf from the acetone that had some water mixed in.
