hey guys, me here from mycotopia where a few people probably know me.
this is a tek SWIM developed himself, SWIM have fairly good knowledge in chemistry, and has been researching possible DMT extractions for 3 months prior to first extraction.
This extraction was developed specifically for acacia obtusifolia, however it could be used for any DMT containing plant.
SWIM have been slowly refining this tek over the past 6 or so months, and at present is about half way through a large 3kg extraction(using camping water tanks), however this tek slightly differs in that heat is not used(heat melts plastic so he hears...).
This may seem like every other tek, however i believe it has a few differences which make it a lot more efficient.
Whilst SWIM enjoys making large quantities of DMT, SWIM does NOT condone the selling of such a product. nor see the point in selling such a product as it is just so easy to make.
SWIM's larger extractions are merely a case of "because he can", and also, later on, in an attempt to make a crystal to rival that of the erowid crystal
HH!!! you might see this in certain parts of this tek, basically, it stands for "handy hint" and is fairly self explanitory.
anyways, onto the good part.
Materials used:
300g Acacia Obtusifolia bark
Food processor
Cheesecloth(about 500mmx500mm)
500ml beaker(SWIM uses a coffee plunger)
2.5L pyrex pot
1.5L pyrex pot !! !! !! this pot is not particularly needed, but speeds up the process a bit
hydrocloric acid (whichever type you prefer)
sodium hydroxide (* * * *)
400ml shellite
Sep funnel !! !! !!sep funnel can be home made. SWIM has had great success with an empty naptha bottle by piercing the corner with a thumbtack
drying dish of your choice
PH meter!! !! !!this is pretty important, you can get em for about $20-30 off ebay and its much better then just guessing the PH. alternatively, PH indicator paper can be used
GETTING READY:
cut the bark up into 30mmx30mm(doesnt have to be exact, dependant entirely on the size of your food processor) pieces.
put a couple at a time into your food processor and let it mulch the bark for about 2 minutes. SWIM could do about 150 grams at a time but he had a small food processor.
HH!!! Dont overfill the food processor, but at the same time, dont put too little in... if there is too much room in the food processor the pieces tend to get stuck to the blades and dont actually mulch as well.
Once you have mulched all your bark, proceed to the extraction
EXTRACTION:
Get your piece of cheesecloth and lay it out on a bench/table/small puppy with broad stable back. put all your bark in the middle of the piece of cloth then wrap it up. in the end you will have something resembling a massive teabag(not the kind they gave SWIM's brother at a party when he passed out).
HH!!! dont pack the cheesecloth too tightly, make sure there is a little room for it to move, not much is needed, just enough so it is not rock hard. this allows solvent(solvent = acidic water) easier access to the bark.
place cheesecloth into your pyrex pot with the "tail" of the teabag on top, it should just fit, with only about 10-15mm clearance once you put on the lid(if not, its really nothing to worry about, you may just have a different pot to SWIM).
fill pot so that it JUST covers the bark.
add hydrocloric acid to the water around the teabag(its probably not a good idea to spill it directly on the teabag) a capful at a time, then rotate the immersed teabag a few times to mix in the acid. measure the PH. if it is above 4.0, mix in another capful. 1 capful is usually enough for SWIM to lower the PH to 2.5, but SWIM has very strong hydrocloric acid.
place the pot on the stove on a medium-ish temperature with the lid on. once it starts to boil, lower the temperature slightly so it does not bubble too much and spill over the side of the pot.
keep the pot on heat for 40 minutes.
After this step has been completed, take the lid off and lift the teabag out of the Aqueous solution, let it hang over the pot so it drips into the pot, once the flow of water from the teabag has become negligent, transfer the teabag into another container(large bowl will work well enough, just make sure its not made of metal).
HH!!! the teabag is extremely hot, SWIM usually wears a set of cooking gloves on top of a pair of gardening gloves to stop himself from being burnt, and it still hurts him a bit to pull it out.
The next step is dependant on whether or not you have the 1.5L pyrex pot.
IF YOU DO HAVE THE POT: pour out the Aqueous solution(henceforth known as ASS) into the 1.5L pot, put this pot on another burner on the stove and turn the heat to medium/high'ish. do not put the lid on.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE POT: pour out the ASS into a large, heat resistant bowl/container/small dog with a strong and pumpable stomach and keep somewhere on the bench/stove/small dog with a broad, stable back, then, once the other 2 acid washes have been done, transfer into the 2.5L pot and boil down till you have about 200-300ml of ASS left.
Do 2 more acid washes, for 20 and 10 minutes per wash. remember to check the PH prior to adding the acid. the water in the bark may have retained enough acid to bring the PH of the water below 4 without additional HCL.
After all 3 washes are boiled down in the 1.5L pot to a total volume of 200-300ml, pour it into the sep funnel.
measure 100ml shellite in the beaker, and add to the sep funnel. attach lid to sep funnel.
turn sep funnel end over end for about 5-10 minutes. being careful not to create too many emulsions.
seperate the 2 layers. if using the empty shellite bottle, just remove the thumbtack and angle the bottle so the hole created by the thumbtack is at the lowest point. then let all the ASS drain into the beaker, once. throw out the shellite left over, or, alternatively(this is what SWIM does)
[DE-RAIL]
throw it in another container(SWIM uses a 3l milk container) and once you have filled the container(30 extractions later) evaporate till 300ml naptha is left, add a little sodium hydroxide, evaporate the rest of the naptha, and make your own acacia soap. note: i havnt yet come up with a cheap, reliable method of removing the left over sodium hydroxide so i wouldnt suggest using this stuff except perhaps clothes washing, but the soap smells REALLY nice.
[/DE-RAIL]
Once you have your now Defatted ASS (pun fully intended) add a little less then a quarter of a teaspoon of sodium hydroxide to the mixture and stir. check the PH. if its less then 11.5, add more sodium hydroxide until it is above 11.5
move your ASS into a sep funnel(remember to put the thumbtack back in) then add 100ml shellite.
tip end over end, in much the same way you did when you added shellite to the acidic ASS. as before, do this for about 10 minutes
HH!!! if you find you are getting too many emulsions at this point, add a metric fuckload of salt to your ASS and mix it in(shaking it gently from side to side should do it) then leave it to settle, the emulsions should be gone in about 5-10 minutes. if this doesnt work, you are most likely fucked... i have still got a previous extraction in a shellite bottle that still has the same amount of emulsions as when i had first fucked it up about 2 months ago.
seperate the shellite from your ASS using the same method as with your acidic ASS, this time, however, keep both your ASS, and the shellite. put the shellite in the drying dish, and throw your ASS in a beaker, then throw it back in the sep funnel.
repeat the shellite wash with your remaining 200ml's of shellite(3 washes total) and pool it all into your drying tray.
use a hair dryer to evaporate till you have a little less then 100ml of shellite(about 80ml should do) and throw it in the freezer for about 48 hours.
you should now have some little white snowballs that will make you see ponys and dogs with strong pumpable stomachs and broad stable backs if ingested correctly.
