Which layers of bark contain DMT?

[Dr. Dimitri]

It has been said that DMT oxidizes if left stale for a year or two, so wouldn't that render the outer bark useless? How about the inner white wet bark?

Hi Dr. Dimitri,,

The dmt inside the bark is in its salt form, which is much more stable than the freebase that you get from from an extraction.

If this is the bark you're working with I'd scrap or peal the outer dead bark tissue off dispose of it then get the inner root bark & just grind it up or even keep the bark whole then freeze for safe keeping !!:thumb_up:

Bark from what? How was it harvested? According to who dmt oxidizes after a year or two (and what data is there to back up the claim?) ?

From this thread: Shelf Life of Shredded and Powdered Acacia confusa Root Bark? - DMT Discussion - Welcome to the DMT-Nexus

I assumed that a couple of years sealed in the freezer meant that out of the freezer and in the open air wouldn't match up to that couple of years. So I rounded it to about a year or two from Entheogenerator's anecdotal evidence.

Why not the outer parts?

dried material will last a long time if stored properly (i.e airtight bag and a cool dry place).. doesn't necessarily have to be in the freezer though

From what I've herd from a sorce the outter layer of bark is dead from wiki :- Bark is the outermost layers of stems and roots of woody plants. Plants with bark include trees, woody vines, and shrubs. Bark refers to all the tissues outside of the vascular cambium and is a nontechnical term.[1] It overlays the wood and consists of the inner bark and the outer bark. The inner bark, which in older stems is living tissue, includes the innermost area of the periderm. The outer bark in older stems includes the dead tissue on the surface of the stems, along with parts of the innermost periderm and all the tissues on the outer side of the periderm. The outer bark on trees is also called the rhytidome

Thanks for that info earthwalker, I think it is going to be too much effort to remove the outer layers on some pieces of bark as it is so dense and stuck together that it would be easier just to grind it all up.

Yeah I wouldn't be to fussed about it plus it won't make a huge impact on yeild , just powder it all together most do !! :thumb_up:
