Was wondering about how someone would go about extraction.
I've had a look at a few articles on extraction but I'm still pretty lost at this stage.

I don't have any lab equipment, and have no background in chemistry, apart from a willingness to put the work and time in to perform an extraction.

Any input would be appreciated.
Cheers. bongsmilie

Well first you need to buy some mimosa hostills root. Then look up a tek, there are many, finding a legit one should be very easy. Im sure there are good ones on shroomery or hipforums or something.

Apparently it is really easy, Ive never extracted it. But I will someday when I got nothing better to do

First off safety first, you need a safety glasses and heavy dish washing gloves, preferably made of nitrile but latex will do. Wear long sleeves and pants. For equipment you will need at least two glass containers one of which should have a lid (some plastics are ok but glass will always be ok, so it's safer to buy glass and be sure), a separatory funnel or glass baster, a means of filtration (coffee filters in a metal strainer work), and a means o checking pH.

Soak ground up rootbark in pH=10.5-11 water (you'll need to add a little more base after it is poured on the bark, use a more concentrated solution rather than adding more lye directly to the solution) for a little, after a half hour (for later pulls let the bark sit in the basic water for 12-24hours) add ~1/4 the volume of the basic water worth of nonpolar solvent (heptane gives cleaner products but naphtha also works) and close the container. Shake vigorously for a minute. Separate the layers (if using a sep funnel you need to filter out the rootbark first), heptane (top) layer contains your DMT. Put it in a cold freezer (as cold as possible) overnight and you should see a precipitate of DMT freebase crystals. For subsequent pulls (I usually do 4 total) combine the NP layers and evaporate ~80-90% before freezing. You can get a slightly better product by first doing an acid wash then extracting with NP solvent (throw out the NP layer) before basifying and extracting but it's not needed.

sounds like you know what your doing..... can you explain more about using the solvents and a little more detail on the extraction.... mabye a step by step?

The acid base extraction is much better. Than an alcoholic one.

I have always done an initial hydrocarbon shake of the acid extract. It makes for a usefully pure product upon alkalization. I have been amazed at how apparently pure (by color and crystallinity) a crude acid-then-base harvest was when using distilled solvents. cn

The acid wash step takes care of the yellow color that STB extracted DMT can have. Heptane instead of naphtha helps too.

[FONT=Tahoma, Calibri, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]A step by step procedure

1. Ensure you have proper safety equipment, including safety glasses, long cuff nitrile gloves at least 8 mils thick, or nitrile or latex dish washing gloves, and a ventilated space. Keep some vinegar on hand to clean up any base spills.

2. Cover your MHRB with enough vinegar to cover it and have about a half inch of liquid over it.

3. Extract with one quarter of the volume of vinegar of nonpolar solvent (heptane is preferred, naphtha works as well, for the love of god don't use dichloromethane, chloroform or any other halogenated solvent).

4. Separate and discard the nonpolar layer. You can distill the solvent if you have a still and want to recycle solvents.

5. Raise the pH of the MHRB/vinegar suspension to 10.5-11, this will make 98% or so of the DMT into the freebase. Mix this for about an hour for te first pull or 12-24 hours for the second and subsequent pulls. Mix in about a quarter of the solution's volume of NP solvent, stir vigorously for 30 mins or shake vigorously for a few minutes.

6. Separate, save the nonpolar layer. For the first pull you can freeze the nonpolar layer immediately, for subsequent pulls pool the nonpolar layer and evaporate 80-90% of the solvent before freezing.

7. After the solvent has been in the freezer for 12-24 hours you should see a nice crop of white or yellow crystals, collect them by filtration and let them dry in a desicator (a sealed environment with a drying agent such as baked Epsom salts) for a day. You should now have some nice DMT that you can smoke, make into pharmahuasca, or convert to a salt for injection if you are really fucking brave. Have fun in other dimensions!![/FONT]

Derple don't use that tek. Fucking ziplock bags as sep funnels?! DMT already has a plasticy taste, don't make it worse by including plastic in the product. Yuck!

Thank you so much for this, much appreciated, + rep.

Would you suggest any equipment, ie a fume hood, gas mask/goggles.
(Sorry if its common sense, as I said, I'm pretty naive at this stage.)

Lots of ventilation worked for me. A mask and gogs are definitely a pretty good idea, and I'd also add rubber gloves to the list. cn
