naptha is a dangerous chemical. my friend almost burned the shop down once when an open-pot STB (heated electrically to around 70C) spontaneously ignited just before he was about to decant the naptha. fortunately the lid of the pot was close at hand.

hmm, the lemminger reduction of dmt-n-oxide to dmt does not strictly meet your qualifications because the product-

1) is dmt

2) is illegal

but it does comply in that-

1) the chemicals are not dangerous

2) the dmt-n-oxide is not an available commercial product so it is unlikely that members will order it from suppliers, be placed on lists, or use the synthesis for mass distribution

I'm not looking to pick a fight for fun I'm just a psychedelic chemist trying to end the drug war as quickly and cleanly as I can. If the legal status of mimosa and other ayahuasca herbs changes in more countries I will question the rationale behind of your policy again. I understand of course that if mimosa is banned someone could smuggle in seeds and grow their own for 5 years in a greenhouse or something- securing safe access for him/herself without the necessity of synthesis. Is that the direction we're headed? It is not a bad direction but I'm more of a chemist than a gardener.

The whole situation is a bit of a cluster-fuck- I would prefer if fascist thugs would stop kicking down the doors of our churches and jailing the priests. Then knowledge could be passed smoothly from master to student without any disruption to society; instead of spreading from friend to friend or acquaintance to acquaintance with no one really in control.

Surely you agree with me that a religious exemption to the laws against pure DMT should be granted as should a similar exemption to the laws against ayahuasca- regardless of the race or national origin of the practitioner.  If so we are in harmony although our methods differ.
