Testing purity?

[Psychologic]

How can one know their spice is relatively pure without having experienced any that they absolutely knew was pure?

Someone once said this to me (paraphrased):
"I had purified the DMT through several recrystalizations until it was completely white and nearly odorless (after STB with Lye + Naptha). Using a bulb vaporizer I filled the chamber with smoke, let the smoke cool for 5-10 seconds, and then began slowly inhaling. There was slight discomfort in my lungs, but no pain. However, it did slightly burn my throat and left a "cool burning" sensation on my lips that lasted several minutes. Having never smoked DMT that I didn't extract myself, how do I know that my DMT is pure?"

I didn't have an answer to this question. Does anyone here have any insight into this?

what extrememetal43 said is true , although it may change color after extraction if you leave it in open air, there's also been a discussion in the old forum i believe , regarding whether or not lye could contaminate the naphtha pulls , i can't remember the outcome of that discussion , but im sure if you dig around the old forum pages you will find it . i think is the one where elkabong and noman are arguing about stb tek vs a/b tek
hope it helps

So does the description of the physical effects (burning lips, etc) sound normal for pure spice? I know pure dmt freebase is somewhat caustic on its own, I'm just not sure how much.

ya when u smoke it it does numb ur lips a lil bit, i believe thats cuz its a freebase and it basic so itl do it, try putting it on your lips b4 burning it or put a lil piece in your nose it gona burn a lil. not gona b any different cuz u heated it up and am inhaling it. Your description of a cool buning was perfect i think. the discomfort in the lungs can b attributed to maybe burning it a lil bit and not vaporizing it properly. burnt spice is the most caustic suffocating stuff but if its smoked properly most of the bad effects are minimized.
