The Nexian DMT Handbook

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Exclamation.png]]||This handbook propounds to illuminate all manner of DMT practice for informational purposes and for implementation '''only where it is legal to do so'''. That being said, DMT's production and use should not be condoned or endorsed where it is illegal to do so. Even where it is legal to do so, the operator must proceed with caution and in adherence to local laws, as '''many of the chemicals required for production can be hazardous to health or otherwise dangerous.'''}}

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This page is a work in progress -- its content throughout is not yet complete.}}

The production and use of '''DMT (N,N-dimethyltryptamine)''', otherwise known as '''"Spice"''', is a practice that resonates strongly with the complementary qualities of ancient shamanic and alchemical spiritual practice as well as contemporary DIY (Do It Yourself) ethic. The production of spice is a discipline unlike that of most other commonly manufactured drugs, as it is not as well suited for bulk-production nor production for the purpose of sale as most well-known and intensively manufactured substances. As such, its use is generally inseparable from its production in practice and in spirit.

The production of DMT most commonly entails its extraction from botanical sources and only very rarely entails its synthesis. In this way, its production still strongly resembles its more ancient preparations by manner of brewing, a simple form of aqueous extraction still commonly performed to this day. This is the simplest and most readily administered form of extract if used as a component of a harmaloid-based preparation or -huasca brew.

=='''Source Selection'''==
[[Image:DMT.png|thumb]]
DMT, its analogues, and other related alkaloids can be found in a wide variety of lifeforms, varying from trace amounts to considerable amounts. It is impossible, therefore, to include all of the sources from which DMT can be extracted, so the following discussion will focus primarily on the most commonly used and significant botanical sources.

==='''Botanical Considerations'''===

Several species of plants contain a variety of constituents apart from DMT. This consideration is of the utmost importance when selecting the source plant from which an extraction is to be performed, as it may become the determining factor in the material requirements of the extraction process. Some plants may even contain toxic alkaloids, so thorough research must be conducted prior to selection, extraction, and administration.

====='''Methods of Refinery'''=====

Before extracting alkaloids from the variety of plants named above, one generally needs to clean and prepare the plant source, to include washing, pulverization, or any other necessary pre-treatment.

====='''Defatting Concerns'''=====

==='''Vendor Considerations'''===

==='''Considerations Regarding Cultivation'''===

=='''Extraction'''==

[[Image:800px-Dimethyltryptamine-3d-sticks.png|thumb]]

Extraction generally refers to the process of isolating a product from a source. The basic idea is to utilize the unique properties of the product—whether reactive, electromagnetic, or otherwise structural—to draw it out of the source and into a target solvent. To accomplish this the product must either be naturally soluble in the solvent or must undergo reaction to increase its solubility. The difference between a high and low yield is firstly determined by how much more soluble the product is in the target solvent, than in its source material or solution, and secondly by how thoroughly the target solvent is mechanically brought into contact with the target solvent.

==='''STB Techniques'''===

Considerations:
: The use of "Straight To Base" techniques requires little experience or technical know-how for beginners to approach extraction techniques. STB is best-suited for quick, non-labor-intensive, crude bulk extractions. It requires no straining or cooking but requires time for soaking and separation. STB tends to yield a greater array of botanical impurities due to its lack of straining and defatting. These techniques do however enable a more thorough exhaustion of product from the material. This technique is ideal for shredded material that requires little or no defatting.

==='''A/B Techniques'''===

Considerations:
: The use of Acid/Base techniques implies the use of "acid-cooking" the source material, straining it, and basifying the resulting strained solution. The use of an initial acid extraction facilitates the implementation of a defatting phase and generally yields a product more devoid of botanical impurities. This technique is ideal for any material that requires defatting, though defatting may not be necessary, depending on the intended method of crystallization.

==='''Dry Techniques'''===

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This technique is still experimental and may result in variable success if used with MHRB.}}

Dry techniques (drytek) evolved from and are ideally intended for the implementation of the [[FASA|FASA]] method of crystallization and serve as the only techniques able to implement acetone as an extraction solvent. Acetone is generally favored for its ability to extract a notably broad range of active products.

Considerations:
: The use of dry techniques requires fewer and less toxic materials than the techniques that employ aqueous phases and separatory methods. The materials required are generally of a more household nature. They are most effectively applied to powdered botanical material. Acetone is, however, completely water miscible, so proper drying procedures are of the utmost importance. This technique may or may not require the defatting of botanical materials, depending on the intended method of crystallization. Dry techniques are the youngest of the current extraction techniques though apparently sound in theory and in practice.

====='''Overview of Materials and Methods'''=====

{{materials_list
|
* Powdered DMT-Containing Botanical Material
|
* Distilled Water
* Acetone
|
* Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salt)
* Household Base:
** Either Sodium Carbonate (Washing Soda)
** or Calcium Hydroxide (Pickling Lime)
** or Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda)
*** [[The_Nexian_DMT_Handbook#Material_Preparation_3|Converted to Sodium Carbonate]]
}}

Material Considerations:
* Acetone can be purchased at hardware stores but should be confirmed as pure acetone prior to purchase. Note that almost all acetone can contain up to 5% water contamination, depending on time and shelving conditions.
* In order to be utilized for extraction, sodium bicarbonate must undergo conversion to sodium carbonate.
* Lime is often found difficult to decant acetone off of and also difficult to filter out of acetone, whereas sodium carbonate is generally found more agreeable for both.
* Distilled water is preferable, as tap water almost always contains impurities that can potentially tamper with resulting yields.
* With few exceptions, the source material should be completely pulverized to a powder consistency before use, as this technique's choice of reagents are not quite capable of penetrating cell structure.

Methods:
: Extractions by dry techniques are characterized by the lack of a traditional aqueous phase in the extraction process, and instead, opting for basification within a paste which is followed by chemically drying the paste with desiccant. The process does not make use of separatory methods, and instead is characterized by it's use of dry-washing, decanting and non-intensive filtering methods. Certain materials must be rendered anhydrous prior to use.

====='''Material Preparation'''=====

{{procedure
|Rendering Anhydrous Magnesium Sulfate
|
# Spread Epsom Salt (Hydrated Magnesium Sulfate) on an aluminum foil covered pan.
# Place in the oven on 400°F for about one hour, or until the salt becomes gray and ash-like.
# Place your now anhydrous magnesium sulfate into a storage container and store away from moisture.
# If it becomes hydrated again, the process can be repeated.

*This can also be done on the stove top/oven ring, however it should be noted that as the Epsom Salt looses water it will stick to the inside of your pot but as it reaches complete dehydration and becomes grey and ash like it will unstick and become a powder.
}}

{{procedure
|Rendering Anhydrous Acetone
|
# Pour anhydrous magnesium sulfate directly into the can of acetone.
# Shake vigorously for an extended amount of time.
# Allow to settle for one day.
# Observe the magnesium sulfate at the bottom of the can.
#* If it appears extremely moist, repeat the process
#* If it appears quite dry, the acetone is ready for use.
# Store away from moisture and never leave sitting with the cap off.
}}

{{procedure
|Conversion of Sodium Bicarbonate into Sodium Carbonate
|
# Pour sodium bicarbonate onto a non-aluminum pan.
# Place in the oven at 400ºF for one hour
# Place in a storage container and store away from moisture.

*This can also be done on a stove top/oven ring in a pot and take around 5-10 minutes to completely dehydrate (it becomes a fine light white powder and the CO2 stops bubbling through the powder).
}}

====='''Extraction Procedure'''=====

# Mix the intended base with the powdered source material at a ratio between 1:2 and 1:1.

==='''Nontoxic Techniques'''===

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This technique is still experimental and may result in variable success unless employed with use of lye.}}

Nontoxic Teks typically involve the use of food-grade reactants and solvents in order to produce a completely safe and clean product. The current methods are essentially a hybrid of STB and A/B methods--effectively a B/A extraction method--but theoretically may be implemented similarly to drytek extraction, though drying procedures would be unnecessary due to the the exclusive use of the hydrophobic solvent, d-Limonene, in such procedures. The product is retrieved from the extraction solvent by a solution of acid in water, and the water is then evaporated, leaving behind a salt-form of the product to be collected either for further purification, direct administration, or conversion to freebase.

Currently the most reportedly successful nontoxic methods of extraction are "limtek" extractions, which are characterized by mixing the source material with lime and water until of a homogeneous doughy consistency, and then washing with limonene to extract. As lime is does not easily dissolve in water or break down plant material, it is necessary to pulverize the source material as thoroughly as possible for adequate results. This method was first proposed for the extraction of DMT with the advent of limonene's use in extraction, and later demonstrated for use in mescaline extraction.

Considerations:
: As the name implies, this technique is nontoxic throughout it's procedure, posing little to no hazard to the operator or to the user, and even a lessens the environmental impact. All of the materials used are generally considered as typical household items demanding little caution in storage considerations. However, because these teks implement the evaporation of water, the procedure can be a bit more cumbersome than other teks implementing the evaporation of volatile solvents. Oftentimes, a more toxic solvent is found to be preferable in the conversion from salt to freebase, though more cumbersome nontoxic methods are also available to accomplish this. Also, few acids will result in a solid salt-form, but most salt forms are considered to be preferable for longterm storage and for oral administration.

* In order to be utilized for extraction, sodium bicarbonate must undergo conversion to sodium carbonate.
* Distilled water is preferable, as tap water almost always contains impurities that can potentially tamper with resulting yields.
* With few exceptions, the source material should be completely pulverized to a powder consistency before use, as this technique's choice of reagents are not quite capable of sufficiently breaking down the plant structure.

=='''Crystallization'''==

[[Image:Dmtx400tt9.jpg|thumb]]

Crystallization is the process by which a product is isolated from a solvent. This is accomplished by either allowing the solvent to completely evaporate or by causing a precipitation to occur within the solvent, which can then be isolated from the solvent by several methods and then dried of any residual solvent.

==='''Evaporation'''===

In extraction, evaporation is the process by which a solvent disperses from its liquid form into the air as a vapor and a gas. When this occurs, the less volatile constituents of the solvent solution are left behind, and as such, it is a common method of isolating solutes from solvent.

Considerations:
* Many common solvents contain impurities which may not be quite as volatile as the pure solvent and may leave these impurities behind as a residue.
* Solvents often emit fumes and odors which may be hazardous to health, flammable, or may alarm those within proximity of the odor.
* Some solvents may require an excessive length of time to evaporate.
* Some solvents may absorb ambient moisture, resulting in a less expedient evaporation.
* Excessive air flow may cause the oxidization of the product.
* Solvent may become Trapped within the crystal structure of the product, resulting in a less solid and less pure product.

==='''Freeze Precipitation'''===

Freeze precipitation is the process by which product is isolated from a solvent through a decrease in solubility achieved by lowering the temperature of the solvent. This process generally relies on the solvent being completely saturated or super-saturated with product. Freeze precipitation is generally the fastest method by which product can be isolated immediately following extraction, but it relies on the use of only very specific solvents. This method is preferably used in conjunction with A/B and STB techniques.

==='''Salting Methods'''===

Salting is the process by which freebase DMT is reacted with an acid to create a salt form which is generally water-soluble. The natural form of DMT in botanical sources tends to be a salt-form, thus facilitating the simple aqueous extraction used to prepare DMT-containing brews. It is quite common to perform aqueous acid extractions from the material, however—whether for the purposes of a brew or for A/B extraction. The salt-form itself rarely lends itself to proper crystallization and usually can only be isolated as an oil unless very specific methods and materials are employed.

====='''The FASA Method'''=====

{{materials_list
|
* Freebase DMT Saturated [[APS]] or [[NPS]]
|
* Anhydrous Acetone
|
* Fumaric Acid
}}

[[Image:Dmt fumarate bond.JPG|thumb|Two DMT molecules forming a complex with one fumaric acid molecule to form [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]].]]

The [[FASA|FASA]], or fumaric acid saturated acetone, method is a method employed to render [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]].

Considerations:
: [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] is reportedly quite stable and resistant to oxidization or other forms of degradation. It is notably resistant to heat, and as such is able to withstand low-temperature oven-drying. Certain other related compounds, such as jungle-spice and bufotenine are also able to crystallize as a fumarate. Defatting is not required prior to employing [[FASA|FASA]] methods, as oils and most other impurities should not interfere with this method's procedure or the yield

: Because [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] is water-soluble, it is also well-suited for oral administration in conjunction with harmaloids, either mixed into a beverage or encapsulated.

Methods:
:The [[FASA|FASA]] method employs the firstly, the solubility of fumaric acid in acetone, and secondly, solubility of freebase DMT in acetone, and thirdly, the insolubility of [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] in acetone or the non-polar solvents commonly utilized for extraction. The solubility of both DMT and fumaric acid in acetone facilitates their reaction to produce a crystalline DMT salt which is completely insoluble in acetone or non-polar solvents.

{{procedure
|Rendering Crystalline DMT Fumarate
|
# Dissolve about 7mg fumaric acid per mL of fresh anhydrous acetone to prepare a FASA solution, allotting adequate time and stirring for complete saturation, and allowing any excess to settle to the bottom.
#* ''It is recommended that the solution be prepared in slight excess of fumaric acid rather than an excess of acetone for the procedure to be most effective.''
# Prepare a DMT-saturated solution using either acetone, xylene, toulene, or DCM, ensuring that its container will facilitate the collection of a precipitate and protect the solution from moisture.
#* ''Naphtha, however, is reported to cause fumaric acid to precipitate out of acetone, disrupting any significant chemical reaction from occurring.''
# Add FASA dropwise to the DMT saturated solution until no more reaction can be observed.
#* ''A precipitate should form wherever the drops are added, but will eventually become too thick of a cloud to observe any new reaction occurring.''
# Once the solution settles enough for a clear segment of the solution to be observed where drops of FASA are to be added, repeat step 3.
# Repeat steps 3-4 until no more reaction occurs, and allow to settle completely.
# Carefully decant the solvent.
#* If acetone is the only solvent used, it can be reused as FASA, or if no significant excess of FASA has be added, it can be reused for drytek extraction.
#* If an [[NPS|NPS]] or DCM is used, the acetone and fumaric acid can be wash out with water and separated by standard separatory methods.
# Collect the salted product onto an evaporation dish and dry by air-drying or by oven-drying on the lowest possible heat setting.
#* ''It is advisable to wash the product with anhydrous acetone to remove any potential excess of fumaric acid or NPS.''
# Store the dry product away from heat and moisture.

=='''Purification'''==

[[Image:Dmt crystal.jpg|thumb]]

The purification of DMT product has several purposes and is accomplished by several different methods, but all of them essentially involve the washing of product in some way or another. Purification either involves the isolation of product from unwanted impurities from the plant source or from the process of extraction, or it involves the isolation of product from active impurities which may or may not be collected after isolation.

==='''Recrystallization'''===

The general purpose of recrystallization is to crystallize the product in a fresh solvent after it has already been isolated from a solvent containing a considerable amount of impurities. This is meant to lessen the interference of impurities on the process of crystallization. Often this process results in more well-formed crystals with less discoloration. The advantage of this method of purification is that the solvent choice for recrystalliztion may be different and more suitable than that chosen for extraction.

==='''Washing'''===

The purpose of washing is to disperse impurities off of the product or out of a solution containing the product and into an intermediate solvent.

====='''Alkaline Solution Washing of Inactive Impurities'''=====

Most of the impurities that plague yields tend to be quite soluble in both alkaline aqueous solutions and non-polar solvents. To remove these impurities, an imbalance in equilibrium must be created between these two types of solutions, causing the impurities to disperse into a disposable solution from the solution containing the product.

====='''Solvent Washing and Isolation of Active Impurities'''=====

Active impurities require a slightly different method of isolation for purification and generally rely strictly on differences of their solubility or insolubility in specific solvents. Often, reactions are required in order to create these differences, as the products tend to exhibit very similar properties.

==='''Freebase Conversion from Salt'''===

The methods used for converting crystalline salt-form DMT into freebase are not dissimilar from those used in extraction. The only significant difference between the processes is that the conversion involves far fewer impurities and less material than the extraction. Because of of this and the fact that it involves the isolation of the product from an acid, the conversion acts as a sort of purification method.

====='''STB Conversion'''=====

This conversion is simplistic in that it almost exactly resembles the methods used in [[The_Nexian_DMT_Handbook#STB_Techniques|STB Techniques]], though it is significantly simpler in that it involves less material, fewer impurities, and does not require a strong base.

# Stir in [[NPS]] thoroughly and allow to separate from the aqueous solution.
#* ''The more contact allotted between the product and the [[NPS]], the greater the saturation.''
# Collect the top layer of [[NPS]], being careful not to allow any aqueous contamination.

#* ''Three washes is generally considered sufficient.''
# See [[The_Nexian_DMT_Handbook#Crystallization|Crystallization]] in order to render crystalline freebase product.

====='''Drytek Conversion'''=====

This conversion is preferred for it's lack of need for separatory methods and for it's notably dry quality which facilitates the use of acetone. This method of conversion evolved out of the [[FASA|FASA]] method and is characteristically identical to Drytek extraction.

=='''Administration'''==

==='''Leaf Enhancement'''===

==='''Vaporization'''===

The vaporization method of administration pertains to the use of pure freebase product with no additional material. This method generally makes use of heating an apparatus that is intended to distribute the heat to the product until it reaches the point of vaporization and can be inhaled.

====='''Glass-Pipe Vaporizers'''=====

Glass-pipe vaporizers are glass pieces that are meant to be heated directly in order to indirectly disperse that heat into the product. The glass used must be thin enough for the heat to pass through its structure and potentially distribute the heat evenly. The piece must have a chamber within which the product will undergo vaporization. It must be assembled in a manner that will allow for air intake and output: The output being the inhalation nozzle, and the input being a sort of carb.

{{procedure
|the Improvisation of a Glass Pipe Vaporizer
|
}}

====='''"The Machine"'''=====

[[Image:TheMachine 01.jpg|thumb]]

"The Machine" is essentially a glass vaporizer in which heat is meant to distribute through the pipe rather than across the glass. It utilizes a metal mesh plug inside of the pipe, on which the product is to be placed, melted and vaporized. The mesh acts both as a screen and a heat-sink, simultaneously allowing for the even heating of the product and prevention from inhaling unvaporized particulates.

This method of vaporization includes the standard variations—which are essentially the simple combination of a vaporizing bowl and a vapor chamber with an inhalation nozzle—and the bubbler variation in which the vapor passes through a water heat-sink before reaching the vapor chamber and inhalation nozzle.

Material Considerations:
* Copper will gradually turn black due to the formation of Copper(II) oxide (CuO). This reaction and its reactants are not detrimental to the process of administration.

{{procedure
|the Improvisation of the Standard Variation
|
# Obtain a glass piece with only two openings—one smaller than the other—accessing a single chamber.
#* ''The most common method is to use a small bottle and drill a small hole in the bottom.''
#* ''Though a straight tube, such as a dropper stem, could be used, a larger vapor chamber may lend itself to a cooler vapor.''
# Prepare a plug made of metal mesh by cutting a piece of an excess of the appropriate size to fit in the larger opening of the glass piece.
#* ''Stainless steel and copper of a coarse mesh are preferable, as they do not tend to burn at the temperatures needed for vaporization.''
# Using pliers to hold the cutting, use a torch to thoroughly burn off any machine oil or coatings found on the mesh.
#* ''Perform this step until no more smoke can be observed emanating from the cutting.''
# Allow to cool and roll the cutting tight enough to fit in the larger opening of the glass piece.
#* ''The plug needs to be tight enough to suspend it in the opening but not so tight as to block air passage.''
# Obtain an inhalation nozzle or mouthpiece of some kind if necessary to facilitate inhalation from the vapor chamber through the smaller opening in the piece.
#* ''A tube or straw of some kind is the most common method.''
}}

{{procedure
|the Improvisation of the Bubbler Variation
|
* This variation can apply to the use of a small bubbler pipes, bong-style bubblers, or improvised bubblers.
* One need only to follow steps 2-4 of the standard variation though in application to the bowl of a bubbler rather than an improvised glass-piece.
* The water in the bubbler acts only as a heat-sink and will not absorb a significant if any amount of product, as the freebase product is not very soluble in water.
* The use of ice in cooling should be forgone, as it may cause the premature precipitation of product within the chamber.
}}

====='''Effective Use and Maintenance'''=====

As the term indicates, vaporizers are intended to vaporize, not to burn product, as such, the product should never come into contact with the flame or be overly heated to the point of burning. Generally, a vacuum must be generated in order to direct the heat through the product and to direct the vapor into the chamber. Which should not be allowed to sit for too long, as it may begin to precipitate within the chamber. Every toke should be held in the lungs as long as necessary for the vapor to be completely absorbed, as no vapor should be exhaled.

Heat-Source:
: Though many prefer a butane torch for expedient heating, and though many manners of vaporizer demand its use, a standard lighter will produce adequate heat for vaporization. A standard lighter is generally ideal for vaporizers that generate a strong enough vacuum to pull the flame toward the heat sink.

Common Methods of Inhalation:
* Some prefer to vaporize their entire dose before inhaling so as to administer one strong toke. This method can be quite harsh and difficult on the lungs and throat and may induce coughing. However, this is reportedly the most intense method of administration, almost always inducing a "breakthrough" if held in the lungs for adequate absorption.
* Others prefer to administer one dose within multiple tokes, which is reportedly slightly longer-lasting and much easier on the lungs and throat though possibly less intense. Usually the amount of tokes taken depends on the intended depth of the experience. In many cases, three is found to be more than adequate and four is said to be a "breakthrough" dose. Any subsequent tokes to the first toke must occur within the first minute, due to both tolerance and lack of motor skills building up rapidly

Cleaning the Apparatus:
* The apparatus used for vaporization can be cleaned using the same solvents used for extraction. However, volatility and toxicity concerns should be a strong consideration in choosing the proper solvent.
* It is preferable to choose a solvent that evaporates quickly and cleanly and able to dissolve a broad range of products, as oxidization is likely to have occurred.
* Residual solvent residue may be hazardous, as the user may inhale harmful fumes or potentially ignite the solvent.

: The residual product dissolved by the cleaning solvent may be salvaged by appropriate methods of crystallization. However, it is likely to contain a variety of inactive constituents, so proper purification measures would be advisable.

====='''Concerns Regarding the Experience'''=====

* The primary effects of smoked DMT, induced within minutes of administration, last for about 5-10 minutes and are characterized by strong visual hallucination, a strong psychedelic quality, and minor auditory hallucination, while the secondary effects of a much more mild character may last for up to an hour.
* Tolerance is reportedly induced rapidly and often dissipates rapidly, though repeated or high doses may induce a slightly longer term tolerance. Some believe it is best to wait at least one hour between doses.
* The experience of smoking DMT is said to be quite overwhelming. It is often necessary for the user to have a "sitter" nearby to tend to the smoking apparatus so as to not risk the possibility of the user damaging it or accidentally inflicting burns. It can also be temporarily debilitating, so the user may be advised to refrain from any physical activity.
* Set and setting are of the utmost importance, as the user is often rendered temporarily vulnerable and emotionally fragile. The user must determine the appropriate conditions in which administration is to take place but is advised to initially seek out a setting containing minimal stimuli.
* It may also behoove the user to seek out a more experienced sitter for guidance and support. Often this is unavailable, and as such, it would be more advisable for the user to perform the rite in solitude. An inexperienced sitter may inadvertently induce anxiety in the user out of negligence or unnecessary concern.

==='''Potentiation'''===

: The effects of DMT, as with most psychedelic substances, can be lengthened, strengthened, altered, or otherwise potentiated through the use of various psychoactive or bioactive compounds. The potentiation of DMT is actually the oldest method of administration, as its necessarily potentiated oral administration serves as the compound's longest known history of use. DMT is generally considered to be orally inactive without some form of potentiation, such as a harmaloid preparation. DMT's potentiation is not limited to oral use, however, as many of the same potentiating agents may be used in conjunction with vaporized or otherwise administered DMT.

====='''Discussion of Harmaloids'''=====

====='''Oral Administration'''=====

======'''Pharmahuasca'''======

* A general rule for the dose taken of DMT in a capsule is NO MORE THAN 1mg per pound of body weight.
* This is assuming that approx 100mg MAOI is taken first.
* Take one MAOI capsule (100mg) wait ten-twenty minutes
* Take one DMT capsule containg half of the dose (for 150lbs. bodyweight, no more than 75mg DMT)
* Wait ten minutes, this will reduce the likelihood of vomiting.
* Take one DMT capsule containing the second half of the dose.
* Experiment with how much spice SWIM likes to use and find what's right for SWIM.

'''WARNING'''

* This method of administration can easily get out of hand by believing a small change in the weight of the dose will have little effect, the above dosage is considered to be a high one. Do not attempt to operate machinery during the trip. Do none of these things, after all SWIM will probably be lying on their back for a couple hours.

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Exclamation.png]]||This handbook propounds to illuminate all manner of DMT practice for informational purposes and for implementation '''only where it is legal to do so'''. That being said, DMT's production and use should not be condoned or endorsed where it is illegal to do so. Even where it is legal to do so, the operator must proceed with caution and in adherence to local laws, as '''many of the chemicals required for production can be hazardous to health or otherwise dangerous.'''}}

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This page is a work in progress -- its content throughout is not yet complete.}}

The production and use of '''DMT (N,N-dimethyltryptamine)''', otherwise known as '''"Spice"''', is a practice that resonates strongly with the complementary qualities of ancient shamanic and alchemical spiritual practice as well as contemporary DIY (Do It Yourself) ethic. The production of spice is a discipline unlike that of most other commonly manufactured drugs, as it is not as well suited for bulk-production nor production for the purpose of sale as most well-known and intensively manufactured substances. As such, its use is generally inseparable from its production in practice and in spirit.

The production of DMT most commonly entails its extraction from botanical sources and only very rarely entails its synthesis. In this way, its production still strongly resembles its more ancient preparations by manner of brewing, a simple form of aqueous extraction still commonly performed to this day. This is the simplest and most readily administered form of extract if used as a component of a harmaloid-based preparation or -huasca brew.

=='''Source Selection'''==
[[Image:DMT.png|thumb]]
DMT, its analogues, and other related alkaloids can be found in a wide variety of lifeforms, varying from trace amounts to considerable amounts. It is impossible, therefore, to include all of the sources from which DMT can be extracted, so the following discussion will focus primarily on the most commonly used and significant botanical sources.

==='''Botanical Considerations'''===

Several species of plants contain a variety of constituents apart from DMT. This consideration is of the utmost importance when selecting the source plant from which an extraction is to be performed, as it may become the determining factor in the material requirements of the extraction process. Some plants may even contain toxic alkaloids, so thorough research must be conducted prior to selection, extraction, and administration.

====='''Methods of Refinery'''=====

Before extracting alkaloids from the variety of plants named above, one generally needs to clean and prepare the plant source, to include washing, pulverization, or any other necessary pre-treatment.

====='''Defatting Concerns'''=====

==='''Vendor Considerations'''===

==='''Considerations Regarding Cultivation'''===

=='''Extraction'''==

[[Image:800px-Dimethyltryptamine-3d-sticks.png|thumb]]

Extraction generally refers to the process of isolating a product from a source. The basic idea is to utilize the unique properties of the product—whether reactive, electromagnetic, or otherwise structural—to draw it out of the source and into a target solvent. To accomplish this the product must either be naturally soluble in the solvent or must undergo reaction to increase its solubility. The difference between a high and low yield is firstly determined by how much more soluble the product is in the target solvent, than in its source material or solution, and secondly by how thoroughly the target solvent is mechanically brought into contact with the target solvent.

:[http://dmt-nexus.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=1085 DMT Extraction Overview]

==='''STB Techniques'''===

Considerations:
: The use of "Straight To Base" techniques requires little experience or technical know-how for beginners to approach extraction techniques. STB is best-suited for quick, non-labor-intensive, crude bulk extractions. It requires no straining or cooking but requires time for soaking and separation. STB tends to yield a greater array of botanical impurities due to its lack of straining and defatting. These techniques do however enable a more thorough exhaustion of product from the material. This technique is ideal for shredded material that requires little or no defatting.

==='''A/B Techniques'''===

Considerations:
: The use of Acid/Base techniques implies the use of "acid-cooking" the source material, straining it, and basifying the resulting strained solution. The use of an initial acid extraction facilitates the implementation of a defatting phase and generally yields a product more devoid of botanical impurities. This technique is ideal for any material that requires defatting, though defatting may not be necessary, depending on the intended method of crystallization.

==='''Dry Techniques'''===

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This technique is still experimental and may result in variable success if used with MHRB.}}

Dry techniques (drytek) evolved from and are ideally intended for the implementation of the [[FASA|FASA]] method of crystallization and serve as the only techniques able to implement acetone as an extraction solvent. Acetone is generally favored for its ability to extract a notably broad range of active products.

Considerations:
: The use of dry techniques requires fewer and less toxic materials than the techniques that employ aqueous phases and separatory methods. The materials required are generally of a more household nature. They are most effectively applied to powdered botanical material. Acetone is, however, completely water miscible, so proper drying procedures are of the utmost importance. This technique may or may not require the defatting of botanical materials, depending on the intended method of crystallization. Dry techniques are the youngest of the current extraction techniques though apparently sound in theory and in practice.

Material Considerations:
* Acetone can be purchased at hardware stores but should be confirmed as pure acetone prior to purchase. Note that almost all acetone can contain up to 5% water contamination, depending on time and shelving conditions.
* In order to be utilized for extraction, sodium bicarbonate must undergo conversion to sodium carbonate.
* Lime is often found difficult to decant acetone off of and also difficult to filter out of acetone, whereas sodium carbonate is generally found more agreeable for both.
* Distilled water is preferable, as tap water almost always contains impurities that can potentially tamper with resulting yields.
* With few exceptions, the source material should be completely pulverized to a powder consistency before use, as this technique's choice of reagents are not quite capable of penetrating cell structure.

Methods:
: Extractions by dry techniques are characterized by the lack of a traditional aqueous phase in the extraction process, and instead, opting for basification within a paste which is followed by chemically drying the paste with desiccant. The process does not make use of separatory methods, and instead is characterized by it's use of dry-washing, decanting and non-intensive filtering methods. Certain materials must be rendered anhydrous prior to use.

====='''Material Preparation'''=====

{{procedure

|
# Spread Epsom Salt (Hydrated Magnesium Sulfate) on an aluminum foil covered pan.
# Place in the oven on 400°F for about one hour, or until the salt becomes gray and ash-like.
# Place your now anhydrous magnesium sulfate into a storage container and store away from moisture.
# If it becomes hydrated again, the process can be repeated.

*This can also be done on the stove top/oven ring, however it should be noted that as the Epsom Salt looses water it will stick to the inside of your pot but as it reaches complete dehydration and becomes grey and ash like it will unstick and become a powder.

{{procedure
|Rendering Anhydrous Acetone
|
# Pour anhydrous magnesium sulfate directly into the can of acetone.
# Shake vigorously for an extended amount of time.
# Allow to settle for one day.
# Observe the magnesium sulfate at the bottom of the can.
#* If it appears extremely moist, repeat the process
#* If it appears quite dry, the acetone is ready for use.
# Store away from moisture and never leave sitting with the cap off.

# Pour sodium bicarbonate onto a non-aluminum pan.
# Place in the oven at 400ºF for one hour
# Place in a storage container and store away from moisture.

*This can also be done on a stove top/oven ring in a pot and take around 5-10 minutes to completely dehydrate (it becomes a fine light white powder and the CO2 stops bubbling through the powder).
}}

====='''Extraction Procedure'''=====

# Mix the intended base with the powdered source material at a ratio between 1:2 and 1:1.
#* ''The product remains in its natural salt form which is generally considered to be quite free from the botanical cell structure in powdered material.''
# Add only enough water to thoroughly moisten the mixture to the consistency of a paste while stirring to ensure the consistency of the mixture.
#* ''Although this is not generally considered a traditional aqueous phase in that it is not a solution, it is an aqueous phase in that it is excessively hydrated and sufficiently aqueous to facilitate reaction.''
# Allow adequate time to soak in order for reaction to occur.
#* ''The acid component of salt-form product undergoes reaction with the base, effectively neutralizing the acid and freeing the product in its pure alkaloid form, or freebase.''
# Stir in anhydrous magnesium sulfate until thoroughly dry.
#* ''The magnesium sulfate acts as a desiccant, and that this is performed in order to prevent water contamination of the acetone.''
# Add an excess of anhydrous acetone and stir thoroughly, allotting adequate time and stirring for thorough dissolution of the product into the acetone.
#* ''The more contact allotted between the product and the acetone, the greater the saturation.''
# Decant and/or filter acetone and collect, being careful not to allow any particulates into the collection vessel.
#* ''The bases used should not harm the quality of the product, but may interfere with the accuracy of weight.''
# Repeat steps 5-6 with fresh acetone until material is exhausted to satisfaction.
#* ''Three washes is generally considered sufficient.''

==='''Nontoxic Techniques'''===

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This technique is still experimental and may result in variable success unless employed with use of lye.}}

Nontoxic Teks typically involve the use of food-grade reactants and solvents in order to produce a completely safe and clean product. The current methods are essentially a hybrid of STB and A/B methods--effectively a B/A extraction method--but theoretically may be implemented similarly to drytek extraction, though drying procedures would be unnecessary due to the the exclusive use of the hydrophobic solvent, d-Limonene, in such procedures. The product is retrieved from the extraction solvent by a solution of acid in water, and the water is then evaporated, leaving behind a salt-form of the product to be collected either for further purification, direct administration, or conversion to freebase.

Currently the most reportedly successful nontoxic methods of extraction are "limtek" extractions, which are characterized by mixing the source material with lime and water until of a homogeneous doughy consistency, and then washing with limonene to extract. As lime is does not easily dissolve in water or break down plant material, it is necessary to pulverize the source material as thoroughly as possible for adequate results. This method was first proposed for the extraction of DMT with the advent of limonene's use in extraction, and later demonstrated for use in mescaline extraction.

Considerations:
: As the name implies, this technique is nontoxic throughout it's procedure, posing little to no hazard to the operator or to the user, and even a lessens the environmental impact. All of the materials used are generally considered as typical household items demanding little caution in storage considerations. However, because these teks implement the evaporation of water, the procedure can be a bit more cumbersome than other teks implementing the evaporation of volatile solvents. Oftentimes, a more toxic solvent is found to be preferable in the conversion from salt to freebase, though more cumbersome nontoxic methods are also available to accomplish this. Also, few acids will result in a solid salt-form, but most salt forms are considered to be preferable for longterm storage and for oral administration.

=='''Crystallization'''==

[[Image:Dmtx400tt9.jpg|thumb]]

Crystallization is the process by which a product is isolated from a solvent. This is accomplished by either allowing the solvent to completely evaporate or by causing a precipitation to occur within the solvent, which can then be isolated from the solvent by several methods and then dried of any residual solvent.

==='''Evaporation'''===

In extraction, evaporation is the process by which a solvent disperses from its liquid form into the air as a vapor and a gas. When this occurs, the less volatile constituents of the solvent solution are left behind, and as such, it is a common method of isolating solutes from solvent.

Considerations:
* Many common solvents contain impurities which may not be quite as volatile as the pure solvent and may leave these impurities behind as a residue.
* Solvents often emit fumes and odors which may be hazardous to health, flammable, or may alarm those within proximity of the odor.
* Some solvents may require an excessive length of time to evaporate.
* Some solvents may absorb ambient moisture, resulting in a less expedient evaporation.
* Excessive air flow may cause the oxidization of the product.
* Solvent may become Trapped within the crystal structure of the product, resulting in a less solid and less pure product.

==='''Freeze Precipitation'''===

Freeze precipitation is the process by which product is isolated from a solvent through a decrease in solubility achieved by lowering the temperature of the solvent. This process generally relies on the solvent being completely saturated or super-saturated with product. Freeze precipitation is generally the fastest method by which product can be isolated immediately following extraction, but it relies on the use of only very specific solvents. This method is preferably used in conjunction with A/B and STB techniques.

==='''Salting Methods'''===

Salting is the process by which freebase DMT is reacted with an acid to create a salt form which is generally water-soluble. The natural form of DMT in botanical sources tends to be a salt-form, thus facilitating the simple aqueous extraction used to prepare DMT-containing brews. It is quite common to perform aqueous acid extractions from the material, however—whether for the purposes of a brew or for A/B extraction. The salt-form itself rarely lends itself to proper crystallization and usually can only be isolated as an oil unless very specific methods and materials are employed.

====='''The FASA Method'''=====

{{materials_list
|
* Freebase DMT Saturated [[APS]] or [[NPS]]
|
* Anhydrous Acetone
|
* Fumaric Acid
}}

[[Image:Dmt fumarate bond.JPG|thumb|Two DMT molecules forming a complex with one fumaric acid molecule to form [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]].]]

The [[FASA|FASA]], or fumaric acid saturated acetone, method is a method employed to render [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]].

Considerations:
: [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] is reportedly quite stable and resistant to oxidization or other forms of degradation. It is notably resistant to heat, and as such is able to withstand low-temperature oven-drying. Certain other related compounds, such as jungle-spice and bufotenine are also able to crystallize as a fumarate. Defatting is not required prior to employing [[FASA|FASA]] methods, as oils and most other impurities should not interfere with this method's procedure or the yield

: Because [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] is water-soluble, it is also well-suited for oral administration in conjunction with harmaloids, either mixed into a beverage or encapsulated.

Methods:
:The [[FASA|FASA]] method employs the firstly, the solubility of fumaric acid in acetone, and secondly, solubility of freebase DMT in acetone, and thirdly, the insolubility of [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] in acetone or the non-polar solvents commonly utilized for extraction. The solubility of both DMT and fumaric acid in acetone facilitates their reaction to produce a crystalline DMT salt which is completely insoluble in acetone or non-polar solvents.

{{procedure
|Rendering Crystalline DMT Fumarate
|
# Dissolve about 7mg fumaric acid per mL of fresh anhydrous acetone to prepare a FASA solution, allotting adequate time and stirring for complete saturation, and allowing any excess to settle to the bottom.
#* ''It is recommended that the solution be prepared in slight excess of fumaric acid rather than an excess of acetone for the procedure to be most effective.''
# Prepare a DMT-saturated solution using either acetone, xylene, toulene, or DCM, ensuring that its container will facilitate the collection of a precipitate and protect the solution from moisture.
#* ''Naphtha, however, is reported to cause fumaric acid to precipitate out of acetone, disrupting any significant chemical reaction from occurring.''
# Add FASA dropwise to the DMT saturated solution until no more reaction can be observed.
#* ''A precipitate should form wherever the drops are added, but will eventually become too thick of a cloud to observe any new reaction occurring.''
# Once the solution settles enough for a clear segment of the solution to be observed where drops of FASA are to be added, repeat step 3.
# Repeat steps 3-4 until no more reaction occurs, and allow to settle completely.
# Carefully decant the solvent.
#* If acetone is the only solvent used, it can be reused as FASA, or if no significant excess of FASA has be added, it can be reused for drytek extraction.
#* If an [[NPS|NPS]] or DCM is used, the acetone and fumaric acid can be wash out with water and separated by standard separatory methods.
# Collect the salted product onto an evaporation dish and dry by air-drying or by oven-drying on the lowest possible heat setting.
#* ''It is advisable to wash the product with anhydrous acetone to remove any potential excess of fumaric acid or NPS.''
# Store the dry product away from heat and moisture.

=='''Purification'''==

[[Image:Dmt crystal.jpg|thumb]]

The purification of DMT product has several purposes and is accomplished by several different methods, but all of them essentially involve the washing of product in some way or another. Purification either involves the isolation of product from unwanted impurities from the plant source or from the process of extraction, or it involves the isolation of product from active impurities which may or may not be collected after isolation.

==='''Recrystallization'''===

The general purpose of recrystallization is to crystallize the product in a fresh solvent after it has already been isolated from a solvent containing a considerable amount of impurities. This is meant to lessen the interference of impurities on the process of crystallization. Often this process results in more well-formed crystals with less discoloration. The advantage of this method of purification is that the solvent choice for recrystalliztion may be different and more suitable than that chosen for extraction.

==='''Washing'''===

The purpose of washing is to disperse impurities off of the product or out of a solution containing the product and into an intermediate solvent.

====='''Alkaline Solution Washing of Inactive Impurities'''=====

Most of the impurities that plague yields tend to be quite soluble in both alkaline aqueous solutions and non-polar solvents. To remove these impurities, an imbalance in equilibrium must be created between these two types of solutions, causing the impurities to disperse into a disposable solution from the solution containing the product.

====='''Solvent Washing and Isolation of Active Impurities'''=====

Active impurities require a slightly different method of isolation for purification and generally rely strictly on differences of their solubility or insolubility in specific solvents. Often, reactions are required in order to create these differences, as the products tend to exhibit very similar properties.

==='''Freebase Conversion from Salt'''===

The methods used for converting crystalline salt-form DMT into freebase are not dissimilar from those used in extraction. The only significant difference between the processes is that the conversion involves far fewer impurities and less material than the extraction. Because of of this and the fact that it involves the isolation of the product from an acid, the conversion acts as a sort of purification method.

====='''STB Conversion'''=====

This conversion is simplistic in that it almost exactly resembles the methods used in [[The_Nexian_DMT_Handbook#STB_Techniques|STB Techniques]], though it is significantly simpler in that it involves less material, fewer impurities, and does not require a strong base.

Procedure:

#* ''The more contact allotted between the product and the [[NPS]], the greater the saturation.''
# Collect the top layer of [[NPS]], being careful not to allow any aqueous contamination.

#* ''Three washes is generally considered sufficient.''
# See [[The_Nexian_DMT_Handbook#Crystallization|Crystallization]] in order to render crystalline freebase product.

====='''Drytek Conversion'''=====

This conversion is preferred for it's lack of need for separatory methods and for it's notably dry quality which facilitates the use of acetone. This method of conversion evolved out of the [[FASA|FASA]] method and is characteristically identical to Drytek extraction.

=='''Administration'''==

==='''Leaf Enhancement'''===

==='''Vaporization'''===

The vaporization method of administration pertains to the use of pure freebase product with no additional material. This method generally makes use of heating an apparatus that is intended to distribute the heat to the product until it reaches the point of vaporization and can be inhaled.

====='''Glass-Pipe Vaporizers'''=====

Glass-pipe vaporizers are glass pieces that are meant to be heated directly in order to indirectly disperse that heat into the product. The glass used must be thin enough for the heat to pass through its structure and potentially distribute the heat evenly. The piece must have a chamber within which the product will undergo vaporization. It must be assembled in a manner that will allow for air intake and output: The output being the inhalation nozzle, and the input being a sort of carb.

{{procedure
|the Improvisation of a Glass Pipe Vaporizer
|
}}

====='''"The Machine"'''=====

[[Image:TheMachine 01.jpg|thumb]]

"The Machine" is essentially a glass vaporizer in which heat is meant to distribute through the pipe rather than across the glass. It utilizes a metal mesh plug inside of the pipe, on which the product is to be placed, melted and vaporized. The mesh acts both as a screen and a heat-sink, simultaneously allowing for the even heating of the product and prevention from inhaling unvaporized particulates.

This method of vaporization includes the standard variations—which are essentially the simple combination of a vaporizing bowl and a vapor chamber with an inhalation nozzle—and the bubbler variation in which the vapor passes through a water heat-sink before reaching the vapor chamber and inhalation nozzle.

Material Considerations:
* Copper will gradually turn black due to the formation of Copper(II) oxide (CuO). This reaction and its reactants are not detrimental to the process of administration.

{{procedure
|the Improvisation of the Standard Variation
|
# Obtain a glass piece with only two openings—one smaller than the other—accessing a single chamber.
#* ''The most common method is to use a small bottle and drill a small hole in the bottom.''
#* ''Though a straight tube, such as a dropper stem, could be used, a larger vapor chamber may lend itself to a cooler vapor.''
# Prepare a plug made of metal mesh by cutting a piece of an excess of the appropriate size to fit in the larger opening of the glass piece.
#* ''Stainless steel and copper of a coarse mesh are preferable, as they do not tend to burn at the temperatures needed for vaporization.''
# Using pliers to hold the cutting, use a torch to thoroughly burn off any machine oil or coatings found on the mesh.
#* ''Perform this step until no more smoke can be observed emanating from the cutting.''
# Allow to cool and roll the cutting tight enough to fit in the larger opening of the glass piece.
#* ''The plug needs to be tight enough to suspend it in the opening but not so tight as to block air passage.''
# Obtain an inhalation nozzle or mouthpiece of some kind if necessary to facilitate inhalation from the vapor chamber through the smaller opening in the piece.
#* ''A tube or straw of some kind is the most common method.''
}}

{{procedure
|the Improvisation of the Bubbler Variation
|
* This variation can apply to the use of a small bubbler pipes, bong-style bubblers, or improvised bubblers.
* One need only to follow steps 2-4 of the standard variation though in application to the bowl of a bubbler rather than an improvised glass-piece.
* The water in the bubbler acts only as a heat-sink and will not absorb a significant if any amount of product, as the freebase product is not very soluble in water.
* The use of ice in cooling should be forgone, as it may cause the premature precipitation of product within the chamber.
}}

====='''Effective Use and Maintenance'''=====

As the term indicates, vaporizers are intended to vaporize, not to burn product, as such, the product should never come into contact with the flame or be overly heated to the point of burning. Generally, a vacuum must be generated in order to direct the heat through the product and to direct the vapor into the chamber. Which should not be allowed to sit for too long, as it may begin to precipitate within the chamber. Every toke should be held in the lungs as long as necessary for the vapor to be completely absorbed, as no vapor should be exhaled.

Heat-Source:
: Though many prefer a butane torch for expedient heating, and though many manners of vaporizer demand its use, a standard lighter will produce adequate heat for vaporization. A standard lighter is generally ideal for vaporizers that generate a strong enough vacuum to pull the flame toward the heat sink.

Common Methods of Inhalation:
* Some prefer to vaporize their entire dose before inhaling so as to administer one strong toke. This method can be quite harsh and difficult on the lungs and throat and may induce coughing. However, this is reportedly the most intense method of administration, almost always inducing a "breakthrough" if held in the lungs for adequate absorption.
* Others prefer to administer one dose within multiple tokes, which is reportedly slightly longer-lasting and much easier on the lungs and throat though possibly less intense. Usually the amount of tokes taken depends on the intended depth of the experience. In many cases, three is found to be more than adequate and four is said to be a "breakthrough" dose. Any subsequent tokes to the first toke must occur within the first minute, due to both tolerance and lack of motor skills building up rapidly

Cleaning the Apparatus:
* The apparatus used for vaporization can be cleaned using the same solvents used for extraction. However, volatility and toxicity concerns should be a strong consideration in choosing the proper solvent.
* It is preferable to choose a solvent that evaporates quickly and cleanly and able to dissolve a broad range of products, as oxidization is likely to have occurred.
* Residual solvent residue may be hazardous, as the user may inhale harmful fumes or potentially ignite the solvent.

: The residual product dissolved by the cleaning solvent may be salvaged by appropriate methods of crystallization. However, it is likely to contain a variety of inactive constituents, so proper purification measures would be advisable.

====='''Concerns Regarding the Experience'''=====

* The primary effects of smoked DMT, induced within minutes of administration, last for about 5-10 minutes and are characterized by strong visual hallucination, a strong psychedelic quality, and minor auditory hallucination, while the secondary effects of a much more mild character may last for up to an hour.
* Tolerance is reportedly induced rapidly and often dissipates rapidly, though repeated or high doses may induce a slightly longer term tolerance. Some believe it is best to wait at least one hour between doses.
* The experience of smoking DMT is said to be quite overwhelming. It is often necessary for the user to have a "sitter" nearby to tend to the smoking apparatus so as to not risk the possibility of the user damaging it or accidentally inflicting burns. It can also be temporarily debilitating, so the user may be advised to refrain from any physical activity.
* Set and setting are of the utmost importance, as the user is often rendered temporarily vulnerable and emotionally fragile. The user must determine the appropriate conditions in which administration is to take place but is advised to initially seek out a setting containing minimal stimuli.
* It may also behoove the user to seek out a more experienced sitter for guidance and support. Often this is unavailable, and as such, it would be more advisable for the user to perform the rite in solitude. An inexperienced sitter may inadvertently induce anxiety in the user out of negligence or unnecessary concern.

==='''Potentiation'''===

: The effects of DMT, as with most psychedelic substances, can be lengthened, strengthened, altered, or otherwise potentiated through the use of various psychoactive or bioactive compounds. The potentiation of DMT is actually the oldest method of administration, as its necessarily potentiated oral administration serves as the compound's longest known history of use. DMT is generally considered to be orally inactive without some form of potentiation, such as a harmaloid preparation. DMT's potentiation is not limited to oral use, however, as many of the same potentiating agents may be used in conjunction with vaporized or otherwise administered DMT.

====='''Discussion of Harmaloids'''=====

====='''Oral Administration'''=====

======'''Pharmahuasca'''======

* A general rule for the dose taken of DMT in a capsule is NO MORE THAN 1mg per pound of body weight.
* This is assuming that approx 100mg MAOI is taken first.
* Take one MAOI capsule (100mg) wait ten-twenty minutes
* Take one DMT capsule containg half of the dose (for 150lbs. bodyweight, no more than 75mg DMT)
* Wait ten minutes, this will reduce the likelihood of vomiting.
* Take one DMT capsule containing the second half of the dose.
* Experiment with how much spice you like to use and find what's right for SWIM.

'''WARNING'''

* This method of administration can easily get out of hand by believing a small change in the weight of the dose will have little effect, the above dosage is considered to be a high one. Do not attempt to operate machinery during the trip. Do none of these things, after all SWIM will probably be lying on their back for a couple hours.

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Exclamation.png]]||This handbook propounds to illuminate all manner of DMT practice for informational purposes and for implementation '''only where it is legal to do so'''. That being said, DMT's production and use should not be condoned or endorsed where it is illegal to do so. Even where it is legal to do so, the operator must proceed with caution and in adherence to local laws, as '''many of the chemicals required for production can be hazardous to health or otherwise dangerous.'''}}

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This page is a work in progress -- its content throughout is not yet complete.}}

The production and use of '''DMT (N,N-dimethyltryptamine)''', otherwise known as '''"Spice"''', is a practice that resonates strongly with the complementary qualities of ancient shamanic and alchemical spiritual practice as well as contemporary DIY (Do It Yourself) ethic. The production of spice is a discipline unlike that of most other commonly manufactured drugs, as it is not as well suited for bulk-production nor production for the purpose of sale as most well-known and intensively manufactured substances. As such, its use is generally inseparable from its production in practice and in spirit.

The production of DMT most commonly entails its extraction from botanical sources and only very rarely entails its synthesis. In this way, its production still strongly resembles its more ancient preparations by manner of brewing, a simple form of aqueous extraction still commonly performed to this day. This is the simplest and most readily administered form of extract if used as a component of a harmaloid-based preparation or -huasca brew.

=='''Source Selection'''==
[[Image:DMT.png|thumb]]
DMT, its analogues, and other related alkaloids can be found in a wide variety of lifeforms, varying from trace amounts to considerable amounts. It is impossible, therefore, to include all of the sources from which DMT can be extracted, so the following discussion will focus primarily on the most commonly used and significant botanical sources.

==='''Botanical Considerations'''===

Several species of plants contain a variety of constituents apart from DMT. This consideration is of the utmost importance when selecting the source plant from which an extraction is to be performed, as it may become the determining factor in the material requirements of the extraction process. Some plants may even contain toxic alkaloids, so thorough research must be conducted prior to selection, extraction, and administration.

=='''Extraction'''==

[[Image:800px-Dimethyltryptamine-3d-sticks.png|thumb]]

Extraction generally refers to the process of isolating a product from a source. The basic idea is to utilize the unique properties of the product—whether reactive, electromagnetic, or otherwise structural—to draw it out of the source and into a target solvent. To accomplish this the product must either be naturally soluble in the solvent or must undergo reaction to increase its solubility. The difference between a high and low yield is firstly determined by how much more soluble the product is in the target solvent, than in its source material or solution, and secondly by how thoroughly the target solvent is mechanically brought into contact with the target solvent.

==='''STB Techniques'''===

Considerations:
: The use of "Straight To Base" techniques requires little experience or technical know-how for beginners to approach extraction techniques. STB is best-suited for quick, non-labor-intensive, crude bulk extractions. It requires no straining or cooking but requires time for soaking and separation. STB tends to yield a greater array of botanical impurities due to its lack of straining and defatting. These techniques do however enable a more thorough exhaustion of product from the material. This technique is ideal for shredded material that requires little or no defatting.

==='''A/B Techniques'''===

Considerations:
: The use of Acid/Base techniques implies the use of "acid-cooking" the source material, straining it, and basifying the resulting strained solution. The use of an initial acid extraction facilitates the implementation of a defatting phase and generally yields a product more devoid of botanical impurities. This technique is ideal for any material that requires defatting, though defatting may not be necessary, depending on the intended method of crystallization.

==='''Dry Techniques'''===

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This technique is still experimental and may result in variable success if used with MHRB.}}

Dry techniques (drytek) evolved from and are ideally intended for the implementation of the [[FASA|FASA]] method of crystallization and serve as the only techniques able to implement acetone as an extraction solvent. Acetone is generally favored for its ability to extract a notably broad range of active products.

Considerations:
: The use of dry techniques requires fewer and less toxic materials than the techniques that employ aqueous phases and separatory methods. The materials required are generally of a more household nature. They are most effectively applied to powdered botanical material. Acetone is, however, completely water miscible, so proper drying procedures are of the utmost importance. This technique may or may not require the defatting of botanical materials, depending on the intended method of crystallization. Dry techniques are the youngest of the current extraction techniques though apparently sound in theory and in practice.

** or Calcium Hydroxide (Pickling Lime)
** or Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda)
*** [[The_Nexian_DMT_Handbook#Material_Preparation_3|Converted to Sodium Carbonate]]
}}

Material Considerations:
* Acetone can be purchased at hardware stores but should be confirmed as pure acetone prior to purchase. Note that almost all acetone can contain up to 5% water contamination, depending on time and shelving conditions.
* In order to be utilized for extraction, sodium bicarbonate must undergo conversion to sodium carbonate.
* Lime is often found difficult to decant acetone off of and also difficult to filter out of acetone, whereas sodium carbonate is generally found more agreeable for both.
* Distilled water is preferable, as tap water almost always contains impurities that can potentially tamper with resulting yields.
* With few exceptions, the source material should be completely pulverized to a powder consistency before use, as this technique's choice of reagents are not quite capable of penetrating cell structure.

Methods:
: Extractions by dry techniques are characterized by the lack of a traditional aqueous phase in the extraction process, and instead, opting for basification within a paste which is followed by chemically drying the paste with desiccant. The process does not make use of separatory methods, and instead is characterized by it's use of dry-washing, decanting and non-intensive filtering methods. Certain materials must be rendered anhydrous prior to use.

====='''Material Preparation'''=====

{{procedure
|Rendering Anhydrous Magnesium Sulfate
|
# Spread Epsom Salt (Hydrated Magnesium Sulfate) on an aluminum foil covered pan.
# Place in the oven on 400°F for about one hour, or until the salt becomes gray and ash-like.
# Place your now anhydrous magnesium sulfate into a storage container and store away from moisture.
# If it becomes hydrated again, the process can be repeated.

*This can also be done on the stove top/oven ring, however it should be noted that as the Epsom Salt looses water it will stick to the inside of your pot but as it reaches complete dehydration and becomes grey and ash like it will unstick and become a powder.
}}

{{procedure
|Rendering Anhydrous Acetone
|
# Pour anhydrous magnesium sulfate directly into the can of acetone.
# Shake vigorously for an extended amount of time.
# Allow to settle for one day.
# Observe the magnesium sulfate at the bottom of the can.
#* If it appears extremely moist, repeat the process
#* If it appears quite dry, the acetone is ready for use.
# Store away from moisture and never leave sitting with the cap off.
}}

{{procedure

# Place in a storage container and store away from moisture.

*This can also be done on a stove top/oven ring in a pot and take around 5-10 minutes to completely dehydrate (it becomes a fine light white powder and the CO2 stops bubbling through the powder).
}}

====='''Extraction Procedure'''=====

# Mix the intended base with the powdered source material at a ratio between 1:2 and 1:1.
#* ''The product remains in its natural salt form which is generally considered to be quite free from the botanical cell structure in powdered material.''
# Add only enough water to thoroughly moisten the mixture to the consistency of a paste while stirring to ensure the consistency of the mixture.
#* ''Although this is not generally considered a traditional aqueous phase in that it is not a solution, it is an aqueous phase in that it is excessively hydrated and sufficiently aqueous to facilitate reaction.''
# Allow adequate time to soak in order for reaction to occur.
#* ''The acid component of salt-form product undergoes reaction with the base, effectively neutralizing the acid and freeing the product in its pure alkaloid form, or freebase.''
# Stir in anhydrous magnesium sulfate until thoroughly dry.
#* ''The magnesium sulfate acts as a desiccant, and that this is performed in order to prevent water contamination of the acetone.''
# Add an excess of anhydrous acetone and stir thoroughly, allotting adequate time and stirring for thorough dissolution of the product into the acetone.
#* ''The more contact allotted between the product and the acetone, the greater the saturation.''
# Decant and/or filter acetone and collect, being careful not to allow any particulates into the collection vessel.
#* ''The bases used should not harm the quality of the product, but may interfere with the accuracy of weight.''
# Repeat steps 5-6 with fresh acetone until material is exhausted to satisfaction.
#* ''Three washes is generally considered sufficient.''

==='''Nontoxic Techniques'''===

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This technique is still experimental and may result in variable success unless employed with use of lye.}}

Nontoxic Teks typically involve the use of food-grade reactants and solvents in order to produce a completely safe and clean product. The current methods are essentially a hybrid of STB and A/B methods--effectively a B/A extraction method--but theoretically may be implemented similarly to drytek extraction, though drying procedures would be unnecessary due to the the exclusive use of the hydrophobic solvent, d-Limonene, in such procedures. The product is retrieved from the extraction solvent by a solution of acid in water, and the water is then evaporated, leaving behind a salt-form of the product to be collected either for further purification, direct administration, or conversion to freebase.

Currently the most reportedly successful nontoxic methods of extraction are "limtek" extractions, which are characterized by mixing the source material with lime and water until of a homogeneous doughy consistency, and then washing with limonene to extract. As lime is does not easily dissolve in water or break down plant material, it is necessary to pulverize the source material as thoroughly as possible for adequate results. This method was first proposed for the extraction of DMT with the advent of limonene's use in extraction, and later demonstrated for use in mescaline extraction.

Considerations:
: As the name implies, this technique is nontoxic throughout it's procedure, posing little to no hazard to the operator or to the user, and even a lessens the environmental impact. All of the materials used are generally considered as typical household items demanding little caution in storage considerations. However, because these teks implement the evaporation of water, the procedure can be a bit more cumbersome than other teks implementing the evaporation of volatile solvents. Oftentimes, a more toxic solvent is found to be preferable in the conversion from salt to freebase, though more cumbersome nontoxic methods are also available to accomplish this. Also, few acids will result in a solid salt-form, but most salt forms are considered to be preferable for longterm storage and for oral administration.

* In order to be utilized for extraction, sodium bicarbonate must undergo conversion to sodium carbonate.
* Distilled water is preferable, as tap water almost always contains impurities that can potentially tamper with resulting yields.
* With few exceptions, the source material should be completely pulverized to a powder consistency before use, as this technique's choice of reagents are not quite capable of sufficiently breaking down the plant structure.

=='''Crystallization'''==

[[Image:Dmtx400tt9.jpg|thumb]]

Crystallization is the process by which a product is isolated from a solvent. This is accomplished by either allowing the solvent to completely evaporate or by causing a precipitation to occur within the solvent, which can then be isolated from the solvent by several methods and then dried of any residual solvent.

==='''Evaporation'''===

In extraction, evaporation is the process by which a solvent disperses from its liquid form into the air as a vapor and a gas. When this occurs, the less volatile constituents of the solvent solution are left behind, and as such, it is a common method of isolating solutes from solvent.

Considerations:
* Many common solvents contain impurities which may not be quite as volatile as the pure solvent and may leave these impurities behind as a residue.
* Solvents often emit fumes and odors which may be hazardous to health, flammable, or may alarm those within proximity of the odor.
* Some solvents may require an excessive length of time to evaporate.
* Some solvents may absorb ambient moisture, resulting in a less expedient evaporation.
* Excessive air flow may cause the oxidization of the product.
* Solvent may become Trapped within the crystal structure of the product, resulting in a less solid and less pure product.

==='''Freeze Precipitation'''===

Freeze precipitation is the process by which product is isolated from a solvent through a decrease in solubility achieved by lowering the temperature of the solvent. This process generally relies on the solvent being completely saturated or super-saturated with product. Freeze precipitation is generally the fastest method by which product can be isolated immediately following extraction, but it relies on the use of only very specific solvents. This method is preferably used in conjunction with A/B and STB techniques.

==='''Salting Methods'''===

Salting is the process by which freebase DMT is reacted with an acid to create a salt form which is generally water-soluble. The natural form of DMT in botanical sources tends to be a salt-form, thus facilitating the simple aqueous extraction used to prepare DMT-containing brews. It is quite common to perform aqueous acid extractions from the material, however—whether for the purposes of a brew or for A/B extraction. The salt-form itself rarely lends itself to proper crystallization and usually can only be isolated as an oil unless very specific methods and materials are employed.

====='''The FASA Method'''=====

{{materials_list
|
* Freebase DMT Saturated [[APS]] or [[NPS]]
|
* Anhydrous Acetone
|
* Fumaric Acid
}}

[[Image:Dmt fumarate bond.JPG|thumb|Two DMT molecules forming a complex with one fumaric acid molecule to form [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]].]]

The [[FASA|FASA]], or fumaric acid saturated acetone, method is a method employed to render [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]].

Considerations:
: [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] is reportedly quite stable and resistant to oxidization or other forms of degradation. It is notably resistant to heat, and as such is able to withstand low-temperature oven-drying. Certain other related compounds, such as jungle-spice and bufotenine are also able to crystallize as a fumarate. Defatting is not required prior to employing [[FASA|FASA]] methods, as oils and most other impurities should not interfere with this method's procedure or the yield

: Because [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] is water-soluble, it is also well-suited for oral administration in conjunction with harmaloids, either mixed into a beverage or encapsulated.

Methods:
:The [[FASA|FASA]] method employs the firstly, the solubility of fumaric acid in acetone, and secondly, solubility of freebase DMT in acetone, and thirdly, the insolubility of [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] in acetone or the non-polar solvents commonly utilized for extraction. The solubility of both DMT and fumaric acid in acetone facilitates their reaction to produce a crystalline DMT salt which is completely insoluble in acetone or non-polar solvents.

{{procedure
|Rendering Crystalline DMT Fumarate
|
# Dissolve about 7mg fumaric acid per mL of fresh anhydrous acetone to prepare a FASA solution, allotting adequate time and stirring for complete saturation, and allowing any excess to settle to the bottom.
#* ''It is recommended that the solution be prepared in slight excess of fumaric acid rather than an excess of acetone for the procedure to be most effective.''
# Prepare a DMT-saturated solution using either acetone, xylene, toulene, or DCM, ensuring that its container will facilitate the collection of a precipitate and protect the solution from moisture.
#* ''Naphtha, however, is reported to cause fumaric acid to precipitate out of acetone, disrupting any significant chemical reaction from occurring.''
# Add FASA dropwise to the DMT saturated solution until no more reaction can be observed.
#* ''A precipitate should form wherever the drops are added, but will eventually become too thick of a cloud to observe any new reaction occurring.''
# Once the solution settles enough for a clear segment of the solution to be observed where drops of FASA are to be added, repeat step 3.
# Repeat steps 3-4 until no more reaction occurs, and allow to settle completely.
# Carefully decant the solvent.
#* If acetone is the only solvent used, it can be reused as FASA, or if no significant excess of FASA has be added, it can be reused for drytek extraction.
#* If an [[NPS|NPS]] or DCM is used, the acetone and fumaric acid can be wash out with water and separated by standard separatory methods.
# Collect the salted product onto an evaporation dish and dry by air-drying or by oven-drying on the lowest possible heat setting.
#* ''It is advisable to wash the product with anhydrous acetone to remove any potential excess of fumaric acid or NPS.''
# Store the dry product away from heat and moisture.

=='''Purification'''==

[[Image:Dmt crystal.jpg|thumb]]

The purification of DMT product has several purposes and is accomplished by several different methods, but all of them essentially involve the washing of product in some way or another. Purification either involves the isolation of product from unwanted impurities from the plant source or from the process of extraction, or it involves the isolation of product from active impurities which may or may not be collected after isolation.

==='''Recrystallization'''===

The general purpose of recrystallization is to crystallize the product in a fresh solvent after it has already been isolated from a solvent containing a considerable amount of impurities. This is meant to lessen the interference of impurities on the process of crystallization. Often this process results in more well-formed crystals with less discoloration. The advantage of this method of purification is that the solvent choice for recrystalliztion may be different and more suitable than that chosen for extraction.

==='''Washing'''===

The purpose of washing is to disperse impurities off of the product or out of a solution containing the product and into an intermediate solvent.

====='''Alkaline Solution Washing of Inactive Impurities'''=====

Most of the impurities that plague yields tend to be quite soluble in both alkaline aqueous solutions and non-polar solvents. To remove these impurities, an imbalance in equilibrium must be created between these two types of solutions, causing the impurities to disperse into a disposable solution from the solution containing the product.

====='''Solvent Washing and Isolation of Active Impurities'''=====

Active impurities require a slightly different method of isolation for purification and generally rely strictly on differences of their solubility or insolubility in specific solvents. Often, reactions are required in order to create these differences, as the products tend to exhibit very similar properties.

==='''Freebase Conversion from Salt'''===

The methods used for converting crystalline salt-form DMT into freebase are not dissimilar from those used in extraction. The only significant difference between the processes is that the conversion involves far fewer impurities and less material than the extraction. Because of of this and the fact that it involves the isolation of the product from an acid, the conversion acts as a sort of purification method.

====='''STB Conversion'''=====

This conversion is simplistic in that it almost exactly resembles the methods used in [[The_Nexian_DMT_Handbook#STB_Techniques|STB Techniques]], though it is significantly simpler in that it involves less material, fewer impurities, and does not require a strong base.

Procedure:
# Dissolve [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] in an adequate amount of water.
#* ''No reaction occurs at this point.''
# Add a concentrated solution of weak base until total precipitation is observed by the cloudiness of the solution.
#* ''The fumaric acid undergoes reaction with the base, effectively neutralizing the acid and freeing the product in its pure alkaloid form, or freebase.''
# Stir in [[NPS]] thoroughly and allow to separate from the aqueous solution.
#* ''The more contact allotted between the product and the [[NPS]], the greater the saturation.''
# Collect the top layer of [[NPS]], being careful not to allow any aqueous contamination.
#* ''Aqueous contamination may result in an impure product or may disrupt subsequent crystallization.''
# Repeat steps 3-4 with fresh or unsaturated [[NPS]] until the aqueous solution is exhausted to satisfaction.
#* ''Three washes is generally considered sufficient.''
# See [[The_Nexian_DMT_Handbook#Crystallization|Crystallization]] in order to render crystalline freebase product.

====='''Drytek Conversion'''=====

This conversion is preferred for it's lack of need for separatory methods and for it's notably dry quality which facilitates the use of acetone. This method of conversion evolved out of the [[FASA|FASA]] method and is characteristically identical to Drytek extraction.

=='''Administration'''==

==='''Leaf Enhancement'''===

==='''Vaporization'''===

The vaporization method of administration pertains to the use of pure freebase product with no additional material. This method generally makes use of heating an apparatus that is intended to distribute the heat to the product until it reaches the point of vaporization and can be inhaled.

====='''Glass-Pipe Vaporizers'''=====

Glass-pipe vaporizers are glass pieces that are meant to be heated directly in order to indirectly disperse that heat into the product. The glass used must be thin enough for the heat to pass through its structure and potentially distribute the heat evenly. The piece must have a chamber within which the product will undergo vaporization. It must be assembled in a manner that will allow for air intake and output: The output being the inhalation nozzle, and the input being a sort of carb.

{{procedure
|the Improvisation of a Glass Pipe Vaporizer
|
}}

====='''"The Machine"'''=====

[[Image:TheMachine 01.jpg|thumb]]

"The Machine" is essentially a glass vaporizer in which heat is meant to distribute through the pipe rather than across the glass. It utilizes a metal mesh plug inside of the pipe, on which the product is to be placed, melted and vaporized. The mesh acts both as a screen and a heat-sink, simultaneously allowing for the even heating of the product and prevention from inhaling unvaporized particulates.

This method of vaporization includes the standard variations—which are essentially the simple combination of a vaporizing bowl and a vapor chamber with an inhalation nozzle—and the bubbler variation in which the vapor passes through a water heat-sink before reaching the vapor chamber and inhalation nozzle.

Material Considerations:
* Copper will gradually turn black due to the formation of Copper(II) oxide (CuO). This reaction and its reactants are not detrimental to the process of administration.

{{procedure
|the Improvisation of the Standard Variation
|
# Obtain a glass piece with only two openings—one smaller than the other—accessing a single chamber.
#* ''The most common method is to use a small bottle and drill a small hole in the bottom.''
#* ''Though a straight tube, such as a dropper stem, could be used, a larger vapor chamber may lend itself to a cooler vapor.''
# Prepare a plug made of metal mesh by cutting a piece of an excess of the appropriate size to fit in the larger opening of the glass piece.
#* ''Stainless steel and copper of a coarse mesh are preferable, as they do not tend to burn at the temperatures needed for vaporization.''
# Using pliers to hold the cutting, use a torch to thoroughly burn off any machine oil or coatings found on the mesh.
#* ''Perform this step until no more smoke can be observed emanating from the cutting.''
# Allow to cool and roll the cutting tight enough to fit in the larger opening of the glass piece.
#* ''The plug needs to be tight enough to suspend it in the opening but not so tight as to block air passage.''
# Obtain an inhalation nozzle or mouthpiece of some kind if necessary to facilitate inhalation from the vapor chamber through the smaller opening in the piece.
#* ''A tube or straw of some kind is the most common method.''
}}

{{procedure
|the Improvisation of the Bubbler Variation
|
* This variation can apply to the use of a small bubbler pipes, bong-style bubblers, or improvised bubblers.
* One need only to follow steps 2-4 of the standard variation though in application to the bowl of a bubbler rather than an improvised glass-piece.
* The water in the bubbler acts only as a heat-sink and will not absorb a significant if any amount of product, as the freebase product is not very soluble in water.
* The use of ice in cooling should be forgone, as it may cause the premature precipitation of product within the chamber.
}}

====='''Effective Use and Maintenance'''=====

As the term indicates, vaporizers are intended to vaporize, not to burn product, as such, the product should never come into contact with the flame or be overly heated to the point of burning. Generally, a vacuum must be generated in order to direct the heat through the product and to direct the vapor into the chamber. Which should not be allowed to sit for too long, as it may begin to precipitate within the chamber. Every toke should be held in the lungs as long as necessary for the vapor to be completely absorbed, as no vapor should be exhaled.

Heat-Source:
: Though many prefer a butane torch for expedient heating, and though many manners of vaporizer demand its use, a standard lighter will produce adequate heat for vaporization. A standard lighter is generally ideal for vaporizers that generate a strong enough vacuum to pull the flame toward the heat sink.

Common Methods of Inhalation:
* Some prefer to vaporize their entire dose before inhaling so as to administer one strong toke. This method can be quite harsh and difficult on the lungs and throat and may induce coughing. However, this is reportedly the most intense method of administration, almost always inducing a "breakthrough" if held in the lungs for adequate absorption.
* Others prefer to administer one dose within multiple tokes, which is reportedly slightly longer-lasting and much easier on the lungs and throat though possibly less intense. Usually the amount of tokes taken depends on the intended depth of the experience. In many cases, three is found to be more than adequate and four is said to be a "breakthrough" dose. Any subsequent tokes to the first toke must occur within the first minute, due to both tolerance and lack of motor skills building up rapidly

Cleaning the Apparatus:
* The apparatus used for vaporization can be cleaned using the same solvents used for extraction. However, volatility and toxicity concerns should be a strong consideration in choosing the proper solvent.
* It is preferable to choose a solvent that evaporates quickly and cleanly and able to dissolve a broad range of products, as oxidization is likely to have occurred.
* Residual solvent residue may be hazardous, as the user may inhale harmful fumes or potentially ignite the solvent.

: The residual product dissolved by the cleaning solvent may be salvaged by appropriate methods of crystallization. However, it is likely to contain a variety of inactive constituents, so proper purification measures would be advisable.

====='''Concerns Regarding the Experience'''=====

* The primary effects of smoked DMT, induced within minutes of administration, last for about 5-10 minutes and are characterized by strong visual hallucination, a strong psychedelic quality, and minor auditory hallucination, while the secondary effects of a much more mild character may last for up to an hour.
* Tolerance is reportedly induced rapidly and often dissipates rapidly, though repeated or high doses may induce a slightly longer term tolerance. Some believe it is best to wait at least one hour between doses.
* The experience of smoking DMT is said to be quite overwhelming. It is often necessary for the user to have a "sitter" nearby to tend to the smoking apparatus so as to not risk the possibility of the user damaging it or accidentally inflicting burns. It can also be temporarily debilitating, so the user may be advised to refrain from any physical activity.
* Set and setting are of the utmost importance, as the user is often rendered temporarily vulnerable and emotionally fragile. The user must determine the appropriate conditions in which administration is to take place but is advised to initially seek out a setting containing minimal stimuli.
* It may also behoove the user to seek out a more experienced sitter for guidance and support. Often this is unavailable, and as such, it would be more advisable for the user to perform the rite in solitude. An inexperienced sitter may inadvertently induce anxiety in the user out of negligence or unnecessary concern.

==='''Potentiation'''===

: The effects of DMT, as with most psychedelic substances, can be lengthened, strengthened, altered, or otherwise potentiated through the use of various psychoactive or bioactive compounds. The potentiation of DMT is actually the oldest method of administration, as its necessarily potentiated oral administration serves as the compound's longest known history of use. DMT is generally considered to be orally inactive without some form of potentiation, such as a harmaloid preparation. DMT's potentiation is not limited to oral use, however, as many of the same potentiating agents may be used in conjunction with vaporized or otherwise administered DMT.

====='''Discussion of Harmaloids'''=====

====='''Oral Administration'''=====

======'''Pharmahuasca'''======

* A general rule for the dose taken of DMT in a capsule is NO MORE THAN 1mg per body weight.
* This is assuming that approx 100mg MAOI is taken first.
* Take one MAOI capsule (100mg) wait ten-twenty minutes
* Take one DMT capsule containg half of the dose (for 150lbs. bodyweight, no more than 75mg DMT)
* Wait ten minutes, this will reduce the likelihood of vomiting.
* Take one DMT capsule containing the second half of the dose.
* Experiment with how much spice you like to use and find what's right for SWIM.

'''WARNING'''

* This method of administration can easily get out of hand by believing a small change in the weight of the dose will have little effect, the above dosage is considered to be a high one. Do not attempt to operate machinery during the trip. Do none of these things, after all SWIM will probably be lying on their back for a couple hours.

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This section is a transcription of Entropymancer's DMT Extraction Overview<ref>DMT Extraction Overview[http://www.dmt-nexus.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=1085]</ref>. The content is to remain accurate as such.}}

The following is not a Tek, but rather a concordance of Teks. Virtually all DMT extractions follow the same basic process; they differ only in whether the initial extract is acidified, and in what purification techniques they prefer. I posted it on another forum (the Shroomery), but figured it might be of use to some folks here.

The internet community has really stepped up in terms of providing step-by-step walkthroughs to guide the layman through the process of extracting DMT crystals. A quick search for DMT extraction teks turns up dozens of procedures; but how’s a body to know which tek to choose? I've seen a lot of posts by people having problems with purity due to trying to follow a tek too closely (especially ones that don't give the reader a target pH).

Really though, all of the teks out there boil down to the same process: Extract DMT into an aqueous solution, collect DMT as the freebase in a nonpolar solvent, then recover the freebase as a solid. All of the differences between teks are just differences in purification techniques. And depending on your starting material and available chemicals, the purification steps in any given tek may not suit your extraction. Which is why I've written the following extraction overview, so the extractor can chart a plan of attack that best suits their extracting conditions. I'm not going to go into mundane detail on accomplishing any particular step, just give enough information that someone acquainted with basic extraction processes could easily accomplish it. This level of detail is covered thoroughly in the teks.

== Answer to the Most Frequently Asked Question Regarding DMT Extractions: Which tek do I use? ==

I know there are plenty of people who don't want to read all this, and just want to know what's the simplest tek to use. I've seen this question posted a million times, so I figured I'd include my answer in here, so I can link to it easily.

For anyone who doesn't wish to weigh the merits of all the methods, here is my recommendation: As long as you're extracting from Mimosa hostilis root bark, use [[Noman's tek]] or [[Marsofold's tek]]. But, instead of the ammonia wash of the final product, use the sodium carbonate wash from [[Vovin's tek]] (Step 7, pg 12). But be aware that a desire for simple answers may not serve you so well in your encounters with the spice.

=== 1. Extraction of the Plant Material ===

Obviously the extractor has a fairly wide array of choices for a starting material to extract from (see the “DMT is Everywhere” chapter of TiHKAL), but the most popular choices are Mimosa and Acacia. If you are considering starting from some other material, you will want to think about the fat content of the material, and probably include more of the optional purification steps. Mimosa seems to be ideal, since many people report surprisingly pure product with minimal purification. Acacia is also a good option, although you will want to be certain to have at least one acid-base process in your procedure, either as the initial extraction or a later purification.

When it comes to the actual extraction from the plant material, there are essentially only two general processes to choose from:

• '''[[:Category:Acid/Base|Acid/Base Extraction]]''' – Heat the plant material in water that has been acidified to pH 2-4 with your choice of acid to obtain a solution of the water soluble DMT salt. Hydrochloric, acetic, phosphoric, citric, and tartaric acids have all been used with good result. If you’re using any plant material other than Mimosa, it’s recommended that you follow this route because it lends itself to more thorough purification of the product.

• '''[[:Category:Straight To Base|Straight to Base Extraction]]''' – This method seems to have become the popular way to extract from Mimosa hostilis root bark, probably in part due to the low total extraction time reported in the Lazy Man’s Tek and other straight-to base methods. The basic idea is to simply cover the root bark with water basified to pH ~13 and pulverize the material, creating an aqueous solution in which the DMT freebase is not very soluble. An excess of hydroxide is used in order to physically break down the bark and allow the DMT to be exposed to nonpolar solvent. Sodium hydroxide is by far the most popular choice, though potassium hydroxide could be used instead. When going this route, a basic polar wash on your nonpolar solvent is practically a must; otherwise, some residual lye seems to remain in the product, making it more harsh. In the US, NaOH is a watched chemical due to its use in meth production. Ordering online or buying with a credit card could have undesired concsequences.

==== (Optional) First Defatting Opportunity (Acid/Base Extraction Only) ====

If you made an acidic extract of the DMT salt, you can now take the opportunity to remove unwanted plant fats and impurities by extracting your acidic solution with a couple volumes of nonpolar solvent and the solvent discarded. Naphtha, toluene, or xylene are all acceptable for this step.

=== 2. Nonpolar Extraction of the Freebase ===

At this point it’s time to recover your DMT freebase into a nonpolar solvent. Xylene and toluene are not recommended for this step, particularly with Mimosa, as they will carry along a red pigment that can end up in your final product (some people extract with these solvents with the explicit intent of extracting the red pigment, which has been reported to be psychoactive itself). Naphtha is the most commonly used solvent for this step, but diethyl ether, methylene chloride (DCM) and hexanes have both been used successfully as well. Remember when extracting, you want to swirl or gently mix the layers, not shake them. Nasty emulsions can form, which are to be avoided at all costs.

• '''Acid/Base Extractors''' – Now you need to deprotonate your DMT back to the freebase. This is done by adjusting your acidic extract to pH > ~9.5 . Typically this is done by adding sodium hydroxide, but calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide can also be used, depending on what pH you're aiming for. If necessary, the volume of the acidic solution may be reduced before basifying. The basic solution is then extracted with several volumes of nonpolar solvent and the extractions pooled. The basic solution now theoretically been stripped of DMT, and can be discarded. There is some debate over the optimal pH for this step. It's known that with certain plants sources (like Chacruna), a pH of 9 is sufficient to achieve maximum yields. On the other hand, Mimosa extractors have found that a much higher pH is necessary; this is likely due to the effects of various phytochemical solutes on the polarity of the aqueous phase. In theory, the addition of excess salt to the aqueous phase of a Mimosa extract prior to defatting ought to accomplish the same thing as the tremendous excess of hydroxide, but I've not yet heard of this being successful.

• '''Straight to Base Extractors''' – Your solution is already basic, so you’re good to go on this step. Just extract your basic, bark-filled mixture with several volumes of nonpolar solvent and pool the extracts.

==== (Optional) Acid/Base Purification and Defatting ====

If you did an acid/base extraction, this step is probably unnecessary, especially if you defatted before recovering the freebase. It can be done if you’re really worried about impurities and aren’t partial to any of the subsequent purification methods. If you went straight to base, then this step could be worth your while, as it allows you to defat your extract. On the other hand, many people find that Mimosa has little enough fat content that defatting leads to an unnecessary loss of product.

Extract your nonpolar DMT freebase solution with several volumes of water acidified to pH 3-4 with your choice of acid (hydrochloric, acetic, tartaric, etc.) and pool the extracts. If desired, defat the acidic solution with a couple volumes of nonpolar solvent (naphtha, toluene, etc.). Basify the solution to regenerate DMT freebase and recover by extracting with several volumes of extracting solvent (naphtha, DCM, hexanes, etc.), pooling the extracts.

==== (Optional) Washing the Nonpolar Solution ====

Many teks don’t include this process, which comes from [[Vovin's tek]], but it seems to be the best option for those concerned about residual lye in the nonpolar phase. To neutralize any lye which still remains in your product, wash the nonpolar solution of freebase with a small volume of dilute sodium carbonate (washing soda), pH ~8.5 (this is not the same as baking soda, sodium bicarbonate). The layers separate easily without emulsion, so shake away, then drain the water from the bottom of your seperatory funnel (assuming you’re using naphtha so your organic layer is on top). Room temperature water should be used for the sodium carbonate solution to avoid cooling the naphtha and encouraging precipitation. If desired, you can perform a couple more quick washes with neutral (unbasified) water to remove any traces of the sodium carbonate which may have been left in the naphtha.

=== 3. Recovering the DMT Freebase from Solvent ===

There are basically two schools of thought on this step: evaporate the solvent or precipitate DMT crystals by freezing. There’s nothing really wrong with simply evaporating if you’re going to be doing further purification on the material, but that being said, I still don’t really see any reason to do it until you’ve freeze-precipitated a majority of your product.

To freeze precipitate, put your nonpolar solvent in the freezer (with the temperature setting as cold as it will go), and allow it to sit overnight. Depending on how concentrated the solution is, a good portion of DMT ought to precipitate out as nice crystals. These crystals can be removed but must be dried quickly or in a cold environment, because they will redissolve as the solvent warms up. At this point your best bet is probably to reduce the nonpolar solution to something less than half its original volume, and freeze precipitate again. Repeat until no crystals result or the crystals have significant visible impurities, at which point you can either discard the remaining mess, or evaporate the nonpolar solvent and recover the last shreds of DMT by further purification. In a simple variation on freeze precipitation, some people report success in growing larger crystals by repeatedly transferring the recrystallizing solution back and forth between the freezer and fridge every few hours.

Now the only thing left to do is purify the loot.

==== (Optional) Wash Crystals with Cold Aqueous Ammonia (Not Recommended!!!) ====

This is a simple way to wash out some minor impurities and discoloration. Just set up a filtration apparatus, put the crude DMT on the filter, and rinse with a small volume of ice-cold aqueous ammonia (preferably 10% concentration). Many people have run into problem with this method, resulting in the ammonia dissolving away their product, making it difficult to recover.

==== (Optional) Recrystallize from Hot Solvent ====

This will help to reduce impurities and give the product a more sharply defined melting point, but it won’t do much to reduce discoloration unless combined with activated charcoal (see below). To recrystallize, dissolve your product in a minimal volume of hot solvent (e.g. roughly 20 mL naphtha per gram of DMT) and allow the solution to cool slowly with minimal agitation. Once it has reached room temperature, transfer it to the fridge for a couple hours, then to the freezer. Though it’s not necessary, if you have a small DMT crystal on hand, you can add it to the solution to help seed the recrystallization. Regardless, a nice crop of crystals should precipitate out of solution, and can now be collected by filtration. If unsatisfied with the results of a recrystallization, you can always reheat the solvent to redissolve the DMT and reduce the solution volume, then repeat the cooling process. Naphtha is the most commonly used recrystallization solvent, but success has been reported with hexane. Using A-heptane (Bestine) will actually result in a cleaner, less discolored product.

==== (Optional) Clean with Activated Charcoal ====

This seems to be the most effective and reliable method for removing discoloration. Proceed exactly as though you were recrystallizing, but after dissolving the DMT in hot solvent, add a small quantity of crushed activated charcoal and swirl occasionally, sustaining heat for about ten minutes. Decant the hot solvent from the charcoal and allow to crystallize as usual. This method generally removes only discoloration-related impurities and requires a fairly clean starting, which is why I don’t recommend doing it with the crude nonpolar freebase solution prior to the initial freeze-precipitation.

==== (Optional) Acid/Base Purification and Defatting ====

Unless your extraction was extremely messy and gave you a gunky mess instead of crystals, then this step is total overkill. If your product is a roughly crystalline solid, a wash with cold aqueous ammonia and recrystallization with activated charcoal treatment should clean it up just fine. But if you want to recover any DMT from the gunk you get evaporating your solvent after freeze-precipitating, this is the way to do it. Take up the crude material in water adjust to pH 3-4 with your choice of acid. Defat if desired, then basify, extract, and precipitate.

==== (Optional) Purify by Column Chromatography ====

Obviously this route is not for the average extractor, and assumes you have access to a chromatography column, or at least a buret which can function the same on a smaller scale. It is totally unnecessary unless you're aiming for analytic purity or you have a godawful extraction goo that calls for some heavy-duty purification. You may run a TLC first using the same solvent pair that you plan to run the column with to get an idea what you'll be up against, but this is probably not necessary. The DMT can be visiualized under UV light as a blue spot.

Plug the stopcock end of your buret or column with a glass wool (or less ideally, cotton) filter. Cover this with a small portion of sand and fill your column with silica slurry. Load your crude sample, and elute with your chosen solvent pair. Monitor the progress of the DMT with a UV light to capture the correct fraction. If you don't understand what any of this means, you probably shouldn't attempt it, but you can consult a lab manual to satisfy your curiosity.

The Machine

2009-12-15T21:12:35Z

Puck: /* Improvisation of the Bubbler Variation */

[[Image:TheMachine 01.jpg|thumb|right|The Machine]]
== Introduction ==
"The Machine" is essentially a glass vaporizer in which heat is meant to distribute through the pipe rather than across the glass. It utilizes a metal mesh plug inside of the pipe, on which the product is to be placed, melted and vaporized. The mesh acts both as a screen and a heat-sink, simultaneously allowing for the even heating of the product and prevention from inhaling unvaporized particulates.

This method of vaporization includes the standard variations—which are essentially the simple combination of a vaporizing bowl and a vapor chamber with an inhalation nozzle—and the bubbler variation in which the vapor passes through a water heat-sink before reaching the vapor chamber and inhalation nozzle.

== Improvisation of the Standard Variation ==
# Obtain a glass piece with only two openings—one smaller than the other—accessing a single chamber.
#* ''The most common method is to use a small bottle and drill a small hole in the bottom.''
#* ''Though a straight tube, such as a dropper stem, could be used, a larger vapor chamber may lend itself to a cooler vapor.''
# Prepare a plug made of metal mesh by cutting a piece of an excess of the appropriate size to fit in the larger opening of the glass piece.
#* ''Stainless steel and copper of a coarse mesh are preferable, as they do not tend to burn at the temperatures needed for vaporization.''
# Using pliers to hold the cutting, use a torch to thoroughly burn off any coatings found on the mesh.
#* ''Perform this step until no more smoke can be observed emanating from the cutting.''
# Allow to cool and roll the cutting tight enough to fit in the larger opening of the glass piece.
#* ''The plug needs to be tight enough to suspend it in the opening but not so tight as to block air passage.''
# Obtain an inhalation nozzle or mouthpiece of some kind if necessary to facilitate inhalation from the vapor chamber through the smaller opening in the piece.
#* ''A tube or straw of some kind is the most common method.''

== Improvisation of the Bubbler Variation ==
* This variation can apply to the use of a small bubbler pipes, bong-style bubblers, or improvised bubblers.
* One need only to follow steps 2-4 of the standard variation though in application to the bowl of a bubbler rather than an improvised glass-piece.
* The water in the bubbler acts only as a heat-sink and will not absorb a significant if any amount of product, as the freebase product is not very soluble in water.
* The use of ice in cooling should be forgone, as it may cause the premature precipitation of product within the chamber.
* The best version of this method is the mini bong. It should be about 20cm in height, and is argued by some to be the best smoking method hands down.

Puck: /* Collection */

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This page is a collection of phrases from 'the Proposed project to better understand Hyperspace' <ref>Proposed project to better understand Hyperspace
[http://www.dmt-nexus.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&m=65786]</ref> and 'Hyperspace Lexicon work thread' <ref>Hyperspace Lexicon work thread
[http://www.dmt-nexus.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&m=65842]</ref>. Feel free to make additions}}

The Hyperspace lexicon is here to make a compilation of phrases to better understand and describe hyperspace journeys for both the layman and advanced hyperspace travelers.

== Collection ==

=== Breakthrough ===
State traveler gets after ingesting the breakthrough dose of DMT.

=== Candyland ===
The visual of a pristine polished "enhanced" open eyed reality.

=== Carrier wave ===
Just after a launch, [[Traveler|travelers]] often hear a ringing tone or vibration somewhat resembling a carrier wave. As the ringing sensation continues one can even feel that this vibration is 'resonating in every cell of the body'.

=== Entities ===
[[Hyperspace]] is filled with entities. These entities show a remarkable variety in appearance and behavior. This chapter includes some often sighted entities.

==== Cartoons ====
==== Dragon ====
==== Gnomes ====
==== Grays ====
==== Light beings ====
==== Machine elves ====

The Tykes. [http://deoxy.org/timemind.htm]

==== Praying Mantis ====
==== Reptiloids ====
==== Snakes ====

=== Spice ===
Slang term for DMT.

=== Jungle Spice ===

=== Glass chrysanthemum ===
The kaleidoscopic/fractal pattern that turns into the doorway to [[Hyperspace]].[http://www.dmt-nexus.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=5549]

=== Gifts/Presents ===
Sometimes the [[Entity|entities]] present gifts to the [[Hyperspace|hyperspace]] [[Traveler|traveler]]. These gifts can be 'sculptures', 'orbs', 'Faberge eggs from mars', 'extra-terrestrial notions', 'glyphs' and many other things.

=== Hyperspace ===
The place you go to after breakthrough, can be any place and time imaginable. Where the impossible can easily happen, extreme geometric explosions of color, sound, emotions, information, also the feeling of it being [[hyperreal]].

=== Jimjam ===
{{:Jimjam}}<ref>Jorkest's D-Limonene & Fumaric Acid Approach
[http://www.dmt-nexus.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&m=65307#post65307]</ref> Also see [[Plasmatis]].

=== Planck Time ===
The smallest unit of time that can be mathematically described. When you feel time compressing in to smaller and smaller units, you are approaching Planck Time. When you reach it, you experience time 'stopping'.

=== Plasmatis ===
The multicolored constantly shifting gel-goo of amazement which decorates the space around everything in the land of the [[elves]]. Also see [[Jimjam]].

=== Pre flight anxiety ===
Pre flight anxiety is the anxiety one has just before liftoff into [[Hyperspace]]. Since being shot into hyperspace is such a stressful and powerful moment people are in some way afraid of that moment, the anxiety they undergo at that specific moment is known as 'pre flight anxiety'.
Many also report that this Pre flight anxiety diminishes shortly after entering hyperspace or upon returning from hyperspace.

=== SPO ===
===== Short description =====
Static Pattern Overlay
===== Long description =====
The static pattern overlay(SPO?) is the way 'they' communicate with me on lower doses. Faces from every ancient era show up in any uniform surface. The best ever was a picture of my favorite fractal. I thought I would be most fascinated by the fractal swirls but the static, slightly irregular monochromatic background showed me more in one square foot than I'd ever seen before. I am always like-'how do they do that?' or 'they are so clever' because you can blink or look away change your point of view and the same image persists! <ref>Breakthrough with eyes open?
[http://www.dmt-nexus.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&m=47009#post47009]</ref>

=== Stuck in a loop ===
When your mind keeps repeating the same thoughts or events over and over again in a seemingly infinite loop. <ref>Ever been stuck in a loop?
[http://www.dmt-nexus.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=2109]</ref>

=== The Throat Marble ===
This is a symptom one can have while visiting Hyperspace. Feeling as though you don't need to breathe. Also discribed as the feeling of a rolling ball trapped in the back of ones throat. <ref>Strange "Ball" Feeling
[http://www.dmt-nexus.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=4786]</ref>

=== Exploring ===
This is a symptom one has after the return from Hyperspace. Also described as a warped or more appreciative view of reality. Symptoms include seeing sounds and hearing colors.

The Nexian DMT Handbook

2009-12-15T07:09:32Z

Puck: /* WARNING */

The production and use of '''DMT (N,N-dimethyltryptamine)''', otherwise known as '''"Spice"''', is a practice that resonates strongly with the complementary qualities of ancient shamanic and alchemical spiritual practice as well as contemporary DIY (Do It Yourself) ethic. The production of spice is a discipline unlike that of most other commonly manufactured drugs, as it is not as well suited for bulk-production nor production for the purpose of sale as most well-known and intensively manufactured substances. As such, its use is generally inseparable from its production in practice and in spirit.

The production of DMT most commonly entails its extraction from botanical sources and only very rarely entails its synthesis. In this way, its production still strongly resembles its more ancient preparations by manner of brewing, a simple form of aqueous extraction still commonly performed to this day. This is the simplest and most readily administered form of extract if used as a component of a harmaloid-based preparation or -huasca brew.

=='''Source Selection'''==
[[Image:DMT.png|thumb]]
DMT, its analogues, and other related alkaloids can be found in a wide variety of lifeforms, varying from trace amounts to considerable amounts. It is impossible, therefore, to include all of the sources from which DMT can be extracted, so the following discussion will focus primarily on the most commonly used and significant botanical sources.

==='''Botanical Considerations'''===

Several species of plants contain a variety of constituents apart from DMT. This consideration is of the utmost importance when selecting the source plant from which an extraction is to be performed, as it may become the determining factor in the material requirements of the extraction process. Some plants may even contain toxic alkaloids, so thorough research must be conducted prior to selection, extraction, and administration.

====='''Common Botanical Sources'''=====

====='''Methods of Refinery'''=====

Before extracting alkaloids from the variety of plants named above, one generally needs to clean and prepare the plant source, to include washing, pulverization, or any other necessary pre-treatment.

=='''Extraction'''==

[[Image:800px-Dimethyltryptamine-3d-sticks.png|thumb]]

Extraction generally refers to the process of isolating a product from a source. The basic idea is to utilize the unique properties of the product—whether reactive, electromagnetic, or otherwise structural—to draw it out of the source and into a target solvent. To accomplish this the product must either be naturally soluble in the solvent or must undergo reaction to increase its solubility. The difference between a high and low yield is firstly determined by how much more soluble the product is in the target solvent, than in its source material or solution, and secondly by how thoroughly the target solvent is mechanically brought into contact with the target solvent.

==='''STB Techniques'''===

Considerations:
: The use of "Straight To Base" techniques requires little experience or technical know-how for beginners to approach extraction techniques. STB is best-suited for quick, non-labor-intensive, crude bulk extractions. It requires no straining or cooking but requires time for soaking and separation. STB tends to yield a greater array of botanical impurities due to its lack of straining and defatting. These techniques do however enable a more thorough exhaustion of product from the material. This technique is ideal for shredded material that requires little or no defatting.

==='''A/B Techniques'''===

Considerations:
: The use of Acid/Base techniques implies the use of "acid-cooking" the source material, straining it, and basifying the resulting strained solution. The use of an initial acid extraction facilitates the implementation of a defatting phase and generally yields a product more devoid of botanical impurities. This technique is ideal for any material that requires defatting, though defatting may not be necessary, depending on the intended method of crystallization.

==='''Dry Techniques'''===

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This technique is still experimental and may result in variable success if used with MHRB.}}

Dry techniques (drytek) evolved from and are ideally intended for the implementation of the [[FASA|FASA]] method of crystallization and serve as the only techniques able to implement acetone as an extraction solvent. Acetone is generally favored for its ability to extract a notably broad range of active products.

Considerations:
: The use of dry techniques requires fewer and less toxic materials than the techniques that employ aqueous phases and separatory methods. The materials required are generally of a more household nature. They are most effectively applied to powdered botanical material. Acetone is, however, completely water miscible, so proper drying procedures are of the utmost importance. This technique may or may not require the defatting of botanical materials, depending on the intended method of crystallization. Dry techniques are the youngest of the current extraction techniques though apparently sound in theory and in practice.

** Either Sodium Carbonate (Washing Soda)
** or Calcium Hydroxide (Pickling Lime)
** or Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda)
*** [[The_Nexian_DMT_Handbook#Material_Preparation_3|Converted to Sodium Carbonate]]
}}

Material Considerations:
* Acetone can be purchased at hardware stores but should be confirmed as pure acetone prior to purchase. Note that almost all acetone can contain up to 5% water contamination, depending on time and shelving conditions.
* In order to be utilized for extraction, sodium bicarbonate must undergo conversion to sodium carbonate.
* Lime is often found difficult to decant acetone off of and also difficult to filter out of acetone, whereas sodium carbonate is generally found more agreeable for both.
* Distilled water is preferable, as tap water almost always contains impurities that can potentially tamper with resulting yields.
* With few exceptions, the source material should be completely pulverized to a powder consistency before use, as this technique's choice of reagents are not quite capable of penetrating cell structure.

Methods:
: Extractions by dry techniques are characterized by the lack of a traditional aqueous phase in the extraction process, and instead, opting for basification within a paste which is followed by chemically drying the paste with desiccant. The process does not make use of separatory methods, and instead is characterized by it's use of dry-washing, decanting and non-intensive filtering methods. Certain materials must be rendered anhydrous prior to use.

====='''Material Preparation'''=====

{{procedure
|Rendering Anhydrous Magnesium Sulfate
|
# Spread Epsom Salt (Hydrated Magnesium Sulfate) on an aluminum foil covered pan.
# Place in the oven on 400°F for about one hour, or until the salt becomes gray and ash-like.
# Place your now anhydrous magnesium sulfate into a storage container and store away from moisture.
# If it becomes hydrated again, the process can be repeated.

*This can also be done on the stove top/oven ring, however it should be noted that as the Epsom Salt looses water it will stick to the inside of your pot but as it reaches complete dehydration and becomes grey and ash like it will unstick and become a powder.
}}

{{procedure
|Rendering Anhydrous Acetone
|
# Pour anhydrous magnesium sulfate directly into the can of acetone.
# Shake vigorously for an extended amount of time.
# Allow to settle for one day.
# Observe the magnesium sulfate at the bottom of the can.
#* If it appears extremely moist, repeat the process
#* If it appears quite dry, the acetone is ready for use.
# Store away from moisture and never leave sitting with the cap off.
}}

{{procedure
|Conversion of Sodium Bicarbonate into Sodium Carbonate
|
# Pour sodium bicarbonate onto a non-aluminum pan.
# Place in the oven at 400ºF for one hour
# Place in a storage container and store away from moisture.

*This can also be done on a stove top/oven ring in a pot and take around 5-10 minutes to completely dehydrate (it becomes a fine light white powder and the CO2 stops bubbling through the powder).
}}

====='''Extraction Procedure'''=====

# Mix the intended base with the powdered source material at a ratio between 1:2 and 1:1.
#* ''The product remains in its natural salt form which is generally considered to be quite free from the botanical cell structure in powdered material.''
# Add only enough water to thoroughly moisten the mixture to the consistency of a paste while stirring to ensure the consistency of the mixture.
#* ''Although this is not generally considered a traditional aqueous phase in that it is not a solution, it is an aqueous phase in that it is excessively hydrated and sufficiently aqueous to facilitate reaction.''
# Allow adequate time to soak in order for reaction to occur.
#* ''The acid component of salt-form product undergoes reaction with the base, effectively neutralizing the acid and freeing the product in its pure alkaloid form, or freebase.''
# Stir in anhydrous magnesium sulfate until thoroughly dry.
#* ''The magnesium sulfate acts as a desiccant, and that this is performed in order to prevent water contamination of the acetone.''
# Add an excess of anhydrous acetone and stir thoroughly, allotting adequate time and stirring for thorough dissolution of the product into the acetone.
#* ''The more contact allotted between the product and the acetone, the greater the saturation.''
# Decant and/or filter acetone and collect, being careful not to allow any particulates into the collection vessel.
#* ''The bases used should not harm the quality of the product, but may interfere with the accuracy of weight.''
# Repeat steps 5-6 with fresh acetone until material is exhausted to satisfaction.
#* ''Three washes is generally considered sufficient.''

==='''Nontoxic Techniques'''===

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This technique is still experimental and may result in variable success unless employed with use of lye.}}

Nontoxic Teks typically involve the use of food-grade reactants and solvents in order to produce a completely safe and clean product. The current methods are essentially a hybrid of STB and A/B methods--effectively a B/A extraction method--but theoretically may be implemented similarly to drytek extraction, though drying procedures would be unnecessary due to the the exclusive use of the hydrophobic solvent, d-Limonene, in such procedures. The product is retrieved from the extraction solvent by a solution of acid in water, and the water is then evaporated, leaving behind a salt-form of the product to be collected either for further purification, direct administration, or conversion to freebase.

Currently the most reportedly successful nontoxic methods of extraction are "limtek" extractions, which are characterized by mixing the source material with lime and water until of a homogeneous doughy consistency, and then washing with limonene to extract. As lime is does not easily dissolve in water or break down plant material, it is necessary to pulverize the source material as thoroughly as possible for adequate results. This method was first proposed for the extraction of DMT with the advent of limonene's use in extraction, and later demonstrated for use in mescaline extraction.

Considerations:
: As the name implies, this technique is nontoxic throughout it's procedure, posing little to no hazard to the operator or to the user, and even a lessens the environmental impact. All of the materials used are generally considered as typical household items demanding little caution in storage considerations. However, because these teks implement the evaporation of water, the procedure can be a bit more cumbersome than other teks implementing the evaporation of volatile solvents. Oftentimes, a more toxic solvent is found to be preferable in the conversion from salt to freebase, though more cumbersome nontoxic methods are also available to accomplish this. Also, few acids will result in a solid salt-form, but most salt forms are considered to be preferable for longterm storage and for oral administration.

* In order to be utilized for extraction, sodium bicarbonate must undergo conversion to sodium carbonate.
* Distilled water is preferable, as tap water almost always contains impurities that can potentially tamper with resulting yields.

=='''Crystallization'''==

[[Image:Dmtx400tt9.jpg|thumb]]

Crystallization is the process by which a product is isolated from a solvent. This is accomplished by either allowing the solvent to completely evaporate or by causing a precipitation to occur within the solvent, which can then be isolated from the solvent by several methods and then dried of any residual solvent.

==='''Evaporation'''===

In extraction, evaporation is the process by which a solvent disperses from its liquid form into the air as a vapor and a gas. When this occurs, the less volatile constituents of the solvent solution are left behind, and as such, it is a common method of isolating solutes from solvent.

Considerations:
* Many common solvents contain impurities which may not be quite as volatile as the pure solvent and may leave these impurities behind as a residue.
* Solvents often emit fumes and odors which may be hazardous to health, flammable, or may alarm those within proximity of the odor.
* Some solvents may require an excessive length of time to evaporate.
* Some solvents may absorb ambient moisture, resulting in a less expedient evaporation.
* Excessive air flow may cause the oxidization of the product.
* Solvent may become Trapped within the crystal structure of the product, resulting in a less solid and less pure product.

==='''Freeze Precipitation'''===

Freeze precipitation is the process by which product is isolated from a solvent through a decrease in solubility achieved by lowering the temperature of the solvent. This process generally relies on the solvent being completely saturated or super-saturated with product. Freeze precipitation is generally the fastest method by which product can be isolated immediately following extraction, but it relies on the use of only very specific solvents. This method is preferably used in conjunction with A/B and STB techniques.

==='''Salting Methods'''===

Salting is the process by which freebase DMT is reacted with an acid to create a salt form which is generally water-soluble. The natural form of DMT in botanical sources tends to be a salt-form, thus facilitating the simple aqueous extraction used to prepare DMT-containing brews. It is quite common to perform aqueous acid extractions from the material, however—whether for the purposes of a brew or for A/B extraction. The salt-form itself rarely lends itself to proper crystallization and usually can only be isolated as an oil unless very specific methods and materials are employed.

====='''The FASA Method'''=====

{{materials_list

* Freebase DMT Saturated [[APS]] or [[NPS]]
|
* Anhydrous Acetone
|
* Fumaric Acid
}}

[[Image:Dmt fumarate bond.JPG|thumb|Two DMT molecules forming a complex with one fumaric acid molecule to form [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]].]]

The [[FASA|FASA]], or fumaric acid saturated acetone, method is a method employed to render [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]].

Considerations:
: [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] is reportedly quite stable and resistant to oxidization or other forms of degradation. It is notably resistant to heat, and as such is able to withstand low-temperature oven-drying. Certain other related compounds, such as jungle-spice and bufotenine are also able to crystallize as a fumarate. Defatting is not required prior to employing [[FASA|FASA]] methods, as oils and most other impurities should not interfere with this method's procedure or the yield

: Because [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] is water-soluble, it is also well-suited for oral administration in conjunction with harmaloids, either mixed into a beverage or encapsulated.

Methods:
:The [[FASA|FASA]] method employs the firstly, the solubility of fumaric acid in acetone, and secondly, solubility of freebase DMT in acetone, and thirdly, the insolubility of [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] in acetone or the non-polar solvents commonly utilized for extraction. The solubility of both DMT and fumaric acid in acetone facilitates their reaction to produce a crystalline DMT salt which is completely insoluble in acetone or non-polar solvents.

{{procedure
|Rendering Crystalline DMT Fumarate
|
# Dissolve about 7mg fumaric acid per mL of fresh anhydrous acetone to prepare a FASA solution, allotting adequate time and stirring for complete saturation, and allowing any excess to settle to the bottom.
#* ''It is recommended that the solution be prepared in slight excess of fumaric acid rather than an excess of acetone for the procedure to be most effective.''
# Prepare a DMT-saturated solution using either acetone, xylene, toulene, or DCM, ensuring that its container will facilitate the collection of a precipitate and protect the solution from moisture.
#* ''Naphtha, however, is reported to cause fumaric acid to precipitate out of acetone, disrupting any significant chemical reaction from occurring.''
# Add FASA dropwise to the DMT saturated solution until no more reaction can be observed.
#* ''A precipitate should form wherever the drops are added, but will eventually become too thick of a cloud to observe any new reaction occurring.''
# Once the solution settles enough for a clear segment of the solution to be observed where drops of FASA are to be added, repeat step 3.
# Repeat steps 3-4 until no more reaction occurs, and allow to settle completely.
# Carefully decant the solvent.
#* If acetone is the only solvent used, it can be reused as FASA, or if no significant excess of FASA has be added, it can be reused for drytek extraction.
#* If an [[NPS|NPS]] or DCM is used, the acetone and fumaric acid can be wash out with water and separated by standard separatory methods.
# Collect the salted product onto an evaporation dish and dry by air-drying or by oven-drying on the lowest possible heat setting.
#* ''It is advisable to wash the product with anhydrous acetone to remove any potential excess of fumaric acid or NPS.''
# Store the dry product away from heat and moisture.

=='''Purification'''==

[[Image:Dmt crystal.jpg|thumb]]

The purification of DMT product has several purposes and is accomplished by several different methods, but all of them essentially involve the washing of product in some way or another. Purification either involves the isolation of product from unwanted impurities from the plant source or from the process of extraction, or it involves the isolation of product from active impurities which may or may not be collected after isolation.

==='''Recrystallization'''===

The general purpose of recrystallization is to crystallize the product in a fresh solvent after it has already been isolated from a solvent containing a considerable amount of impurities. This is meant to lessen the interference of impurities on the process of crystallization. Often this process results in more well-formed crystals with less discoloration. The advantage of this method of purification is that the solvent choice for recrystalliztion may be different and more suitable than that chosen for extraction.

==='''Washing'''===

The purpose of washing is to disperse impurities off of the product or out of a solution containing the product and into an intermediate solvent.

====='''Alkaline Solution Washing of Inactive Impurities'''=====

Most of the impurities that plague yields tend to be quite soluble in both alkaline aqueous solutions and non-polar solvents. To remove these impurities, an imbalance in equilibrium must be created between these two types of solutions, causing the impurities to disperse into a disposable solution from the solution containing the product.

====='''Solvent Washing and Isolation of Active Impurities'''=====

Active impurities require a slightly different method of isolation for purification and generally rely strictly on differences of their solubility or insolubility in specific solvents. Often, reactions are required in order to create these differences, as the products tend to exhibit very similar properties.

==='''Freebase Conversion from Salt'''===

The methods used for converting crystalline salt-form DMT into freebase are not dissimilar from those used in extraction. The only significant difference between the processes is that the conversion involves far fewer impurities and less material than the extraction. Because of of this and the fact that it involves the isolation of the product from an acid, the conversion acts as a sort of purification method.

====='''STB Conversion'''=====

This conversion is simplistic in that it almost exactly resembles the methods used in [[The_Nexian_DMT_Handbook#STB_Techniques|STB Techniques]], though it is significantly simpler in that it involves less material, fewer impurities, and does not require a strong base.

Procedure:
# Dissolve [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] in an adequate amount of water.
#* ''No reaction occurs at this point.''
# Add a concentrated solution of weak base until total precipitation is observed by the cloudiness of the solution.
#* ''The fumaric acid undergoes reaction with the base, effectively neutralizing the acid and freeing the product in its pure alkaloid form, or freebase.''
# Stir in [[NPS]] thoroughly and allow to separate from the aqueous solution.
#* ''The more contact allotted between the product and the [[NPS]], the greater the saturation.''
# Collect the top layer of [[NPS]], being careful not to allow any aqueous contamination.
#* ''Aqueous contamination may result in an impure product or may disrupt subsequent crystallization.''

#* ''Three washes is generally considered sufficient.''
# See [[The_Nexian_DMT_Handbook#Crystallization|Crystallization]] in order to render crystalline freebase product.

====='''Drytek Conversion'''=====

This conversion is preferred for it's lack of need for separatory methods and for it's notably dry quality which facilitates the use of acetone. This method of conversion evolved out of the [[FASA|FASA]] method and is characteristically identical to Drytek extraction.

=='''Administration'''==

==='''Leaf Enhancement'''===

==='''Vaporization'''===

The vaporization method of administration pertains to the use of pure freebase product with no additional material. This method generally makes use of heating an apparatus that is intended to distribute the heat to the product until it reaches the point of vaporization and can be inhaled.

====='''Glass-Pipe Vaporizers'''=====

Glass-pipe vaporizers are glass pieces that are meant to be heated directly in order to indirectly disperse that heat into the product. The glass used must be thin enough for the heat to pass through its structure and potentially distribute the heat evenly. The piece must have a chamber within which the product will undergo vaporization. It must be assembled in a manner that will allow for air intake and output: The output being the inhalation nozzle, and the input being a sort of carb.

{{procedure
|the Improvisation of a Glass Pipe Vaporizer
|
}}

====='''"The Machine"'''=====

[[Image:TheMachine 01.jpg|thumb]]

"The Machine" is essentially a glass vaporizer in which heat is meant to distribute through the pipe rather than across the glass. It utilizes a metal mesh plug inside of the pipe, on which the product is to be placed, melted and vaporized. The mesh acts both as a screen and a heat-sink, simultaneously allowing for the even heating of the product and prevention from inhaling unvaporized particulates.

This method of vaporization includes the standard variations—which are essentially the simple combination of a vaporizing bowl and a vapor chamber with an inhalation nozzle—and the bubbler variation in which the vapor passes through a water heat-sink before reaching the vapor chamber and inhalation nozzle.

Material Considerations:
* Copper will gradually turn black due to the formation of Copper(II) oxide (CuO). This reaction and its reactants are not detrimental to the process of administration.

{{procedure
|the Improvisation of the Standard Variation
|
# Obtain a glass piece with only two openings—one smaller than the other—accessing a single chamber.
#* ''The most common method is to use a small bottle and drill a small hole in the bottom.''
#* ''Though a straight tube, such as a dropper stem, could be used, a larger vapor chamber may lend itself to a cooler vapor.''
# Prepare a plug made of metal mesh by cutting a piece of an excess of the appropriate size to fit in the larger opening of the glass piece.
#* ''Stainless steel and copper of a coarse mesh are preferable, as they do not tend to burn at the temperatures needed for vaporization.''
# Using pliers to hold the cutting, use a torch to thoroughly burn off any machine oil or coatings found on the mesh.
#* ''Perform this step until no more smoke can be observed emanating from the cutting.''
# Allow to cool and roll the cutting tight enough to fit in the larger opening of the glass piece.
#* ''The plug needs to be tight enough to suspend it in the opening but not so tight as to block air passage.''
# Obtain an inhalation nozzle or mouthpiece of some kind if necessary to facilitate inhalation from the vapor chamber through the smaller opening in the piece.
#* ''A tube or straw of some kind is the most common method.''
}}

{{procedure
|the Improvisation of the Bubbler Variation
|
* This variation can apply to the use of a small bubbler pipes, bong-style bubblers, or improvised bubblers.
* One need only to follow steps 2-4 of the standard variation though in application to the bowl of a bubbler rather than an improvised glass-piece.
* The water in the bubbler acts only as a heat-sink and will not absorb a significant if any amount of product, as the freebase product is not very soluble in water.
* The use of ice in cooling should be forgone, as it may cause the premature precipitation of product within the chamber.
}}

====='''Effective Use and Maintenance'''=====

As the term indicates, vaporizers are intended to vaporize, not to burn product, as such, the product should never come into contact with the flame or be overly heated to the point of burning. Generally, a vacuum must be generated in order to direct the heat through the product and to direct the vapor into the chamber. Which should not be allowed to sit for too long, as it may begin to precipitate within the chamber. Every toke should be held in the lungs as long as necessary for the vapor to be completely absorbed, as no vapor should be exhaled.

Heat-Source:
: Though many prefer a butane torch for expedient heating, and though many manners of vaporizer demand its use, a standard lighter will produce adequate heat for vaporization. A standard lighter is generally ideal for vaporizers that generate a strong enough vacuum to pull the flame toward the heat sink.

Common Methods of Inhalation:
* Some prefer to vaporize their entire dose before inhaling so as to administer one strong toke. This method can be quite harsh and difficult on the lungs and throat and may induce coughing. However, this is reportedly the most intense method of administration, almost always inducing a "breakthrough" if held in the lungs for adequate absorption.
* Others prefer to administer one dose within multiple tokes, which is reportedly slightly longer-lasting and much easier on the lungs and throat though possibly less intense. Usually the amount of tokes taken depends on the intended depth of the experience. In many cases, three is found to be more than adequate and four is said to be a "breakthrough" dose. Any subsequent tokes to the first toke must occur within the first minute, due to both tolerance and lack of motor skills building up rapidly

Cleaning the Apparatus:
* The apparatus used for vaporization can be cleaned using the same solvents used for extraction. However, volatility and toxicity concerns should be a strong consideration in choosing the proper solvent.
* It is preferable to choose a solvent that evaporates quickly and cleanly and able to dissolve a broad range of products, as oxidization is likely to have occurred.
* Residual solvent residue may be hazardous, as the user may inhale harmful fumes or potentially ignite the solvent.

: The residual product dissolved by the cleaning solvent may be salvaged by appropriate methods of crystallization. However, it is likely to contain a variety of inactive constituents, so proper purification measures would be advisable.

====='''Concerns Regarding the Experience'''=====

* The primary effects of smoked DMT, induced within minutes of administration, last for about 5-10 minutes and are characterized by strong visual hallucination, a strong psychedelic quality, and minor auditory hallucination, while the secondary effects of a much more mild character may last for up to an hour.
* Tolerance is reportedly induced rapidly and often dissipates rapidly, though repeated or high doses may induce a slightly longer term tolerance. Some believe it is best to wait at least one hour between doses.
* The experience of smoking DMT is said to be quite overwhelming. It is often necessary for the user to have a "sitter" nearby to tend to the smoking apparatus so as to not risk the possibility of the user damaging it or accidentally inflicting burns. It can also be temporarily debilitating, so the user may be advised to refrain from any physical activity.
* Set and setting are of the utmost importance, as the user is often rendered temporarily vulnerable and emotionally fragile. The user must determine the appropriate conditions in which administration is to take place but is advised to initially seek out a setting containing minimal stimuli.
* It may also behoove the user to seek out a more experienced sitter for guidance and support. Often this is unavailable, and as such, it would be more advisable for the user to perform the rite in solitude. An inexperienced sitter may inadvertently induce anxiety in the user out of negligence or unnecessary concern.

==='''Pharmahuasca'''===

* A general rule for the dose taken of DMT in a capsule is approx. 1mg per body weight.
* This is assuming that approx 100mg MAOI is taken first.
* Take one MAOI capsule (100mg) wait ten-twenty minutes
* Take one DMT capsule containg half of the dose (for 150lbs. bodyweight, 75mg DMT)
* Wait ten minutes, this will reduce the likelihood of vomiting.
* Take one DMT capsule containing the second half of the dose.\
* Experiment with how much spice you like to use and find what's right for SWIM.

====='''WARNING'''=====

* This method of administration can easily get out of hand by believing a small change in the weight of the dose will have little effect, the above dosage is considered to be a high one. Do not attempt to operate machinery during the trip. Do none of these things, after all SWIM will probably be lying on their back for a couple hours.

==='''Potentiation'''===

: The effects of DMT, as with most psychedelic substances, can be lengthened, strengthened, altered, or otherwise potentiated through the use of various psychoactive or bioactive compounds. The potentiation of DMT is actually the oldest method of administration, as its necessarily potentiated oral administration serves as the compound's longest known history of use. DMT is generally considered to be orally inactive without some form of potentiation, such as a harmaloid preparation. DMT's potentiation is not limited to oral use, however, as many of the same potentiating agents may be used in conjunction with vaporized or otherwise administered DMT.

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Exclamation.png]]||This handbook propounds to illuminate all manner of DMT practice for informational purposes and for implementation '''only where it is legal to do so'''. That being said, DMT's production and use should not be condoned or endorsed where it is illegal to do so. Even where it is legal to do so, the operator must proceed with caution and in adherence to local laws, as '''many of the chemicals required for production can be hazardous to health or otherwise dangerous.'''}}

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This page is a work in progress -- its content throughout is not yet complete.}}

The production and use of '''DMT (N,N-dimethyltryptamine)''', otherwise known as '''"Spice"''', is a practice that resonates strongly with the complementary qualities of ancient shamanic and alchemical spiritual practice as well as contemporary DIY (Do It Yourself) ethic. The production of spice is a discipline unlike that of most other commonly manufactured drugs, as it is not as well suited for bulk-production nor production for the purpose of sale as most well-known and intensively manufactured substances. As such, its use is generally inseparable from its production in practice and in spirit.

The production of DMT most commonly entails its extraction from botanical sources and only very rarely entails its synthesis. In this way, its production still strongly resembles its more ancient preparations by manner of brewing, a simple form of aqueous extraction still commonly performed to this day. This is the simplest and most readily administered form of extract if used as a component of a harmaloid-based preparation or -huasca brew.

=='''Source Selection'''==
[[Image:DMT.png|thumb]]
DMT, its analogues, and other related alkaloids can be found in a wide variety of lifeforms, varying from trace amounts to considerable amounts. It is impossible, therefore, to include all of the sources from which DMT can be extracted, so the following discussion will focus primarily on the most commonly used and significant botanical sources.

==='''Botanical Considerations'''===

Several species of plants contain a variety of constituents apart from DMT. This consideration is of the utmost importance when selecting the source plant from which an extraction is to be performed, as it may become the determining factor in the material requirements of the extraction process. Some plants may even contain toxic alkaloids, so thorough research must be conducted prior to selection, extraction, and administration.

====='''Common Botanical Sources'''=====

====='''Methods of Refinery'''=====

Before extracting alkaloids from the variety of plants named above, one generally needs to clean and prepare the plant source, to include washing, pulverization, or any other necessary pre-treatment.

====='''Defatting Concerns'''=====

==='''Vendor Considerations'''===

==='''Considerations Regarding Cultivation'''===

=='''Extraction'''==

[[Image:800px-Dimethyltryptamine-3d-sticks.png|thumb]]

Extraction generally refers to the process of isolating a product from a source. The basic idea is to utilize the unique properties of the product—whether reactive, electromagnetic, or otherwise structural—to draw it out of the source and into a target solvent. To accomplish this the product must either be naturally soluble in the solvent or must undergo reaction to increase its solubility. The difference between a high and low yield is firstly determined by how much more soluble the product is in the target solvent, than in its source material or solution, and secondly by how thoroughly the target solvent is mechanically brought into contact with the target solvent.

==='''STB Techniques'''===

Considerations:
: The use of "Straight To Base" techniques requires little experience or technical know-how for beginners to approach extraction techniques. STB is best-suited for quick, non-labor-intensive, crude bulk extractions. It requires no straining or cooking but requires time for soaking and separation. STB tends to yield a greater array of botanical impurities due to its lack of straining and defatting. These techniques do however enable a more thorough exhaustion of product from the material. This technique is ideal for shredded material that requires little or no defatting.

==='''A/B Techniques'''===

Considerations:
: The use of Acid/Base techniques implies the use of "acid-cooking" the source material, straining it, and basifying the resulting strained solution. The use of an initial acid extraction facilitates the implementation of a defatting phase and generally yields a product more devoid of botanical impurities. This technique is ideal for any material that requires defatting, though defatting may not be necessary, depending on the intended method of crystallization.

==='''Dry Techniques'''===

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This technique is still experimental and may result in variable success if used with MHRB.}}

Dry techniques (drytek) evolved from and are ideally intended for the implementation of the [[FASA|FASA]] method of crystallization and serve as the only techniques able to implement acetone as an extraction solvent. Acetone is generally favored for its ability to extract a notably broad range of active products.

Considerations:
: The use of dry techniques requires fewer and less toxic materials than the techniques that employ aqueous phases and separatory methods. The materials required are generally of a more household nature. They are most effectively applied to powdered botanical material. Acetone is, however, completely water miscible, so proper drying procedures are of the utmost importance. This technique may or may not require the defatting of botanical materials, depending on the intended method of crystallization. Dry techniques are the youngest of the current extraction techniques though apparently sound in theory and in practice.

====='''Overview of Materials and Methods'''=====

{{materials_list

* Powdered DMT-Containing Botanical Material
|
* Distilled Water

|
* Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salt)
* Household Base:
** Either Sodium Carbonate (Washing Soda)
** or Calcium Hydroxide (Pickling Lime)
** or Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda)
*** [[The_Nexian_DMT_Handbook#Material_Preparation_3|Converted to Sodium Carbonate]]
}}

Material Considerations:
* Acetone can be purchased at hardware stores but should be confirmed as pure acetone prior to purchase. Note that almost all acetone can contain up to 5% water contamination, depending on time and shelving conditions.
* In order to be utilized for extraction, sodium bicarbonate must undergo conversion to sodium carbonate.
* Lime is often found difficult to decant acetone off of and also difficult to filter out of acetone, whereas sodium carbonate is generally found more agreeable for both.
* Distilled water is preferable, as tap water almost always contains impurities that can potentially tamper with resulting yields.
* With few exceptions, the source material should be completely pulverized to a powder consistency before use, as this technique's choice of reagents are not quite capable of penetrating cell structure.

Methods:
: Extractions by dry techniques are characterized by the lack of a traditional aqueous phase in the extraction process, and instead, opting for basification within a paste which is followed by chemically drying the paste with desiccant. The process does not make use of separatory methods, and instead is characterized by it's use of dry-washing, decanting and non-intensive filtering methods. Certain materials must be rendered anhydrous prior to use.

====='''Material Preparation'''=====

{{procedure
|Rendering Anhydrous Magnesium Sulfate
|
# Spread Epsom Salt (Hydrated Magnesium Sulfate) on an aluminum foil covered pan.
# Place in the oven on 400°F for about one hour, or until the salt becomes gray and ash-like.
# Place your now anhydrous magnesium sulfate into a storage container and store away from moisture.
# If it becomes hydrated again, the process can be repeated.

*This can also be done on the stove top/oven ring, however it should be noted that as the Epsom Salt looses water it will stick to the inside of your pot but as it reaches complete dehydration and becomes grey and ash like it will unstick and become a powder.
}}

{{procedure
|Rendering Anhydrous Acetone
|
# Pour anhydrous magnesium sulfate directly into the can of acetone.
# Shake vigorously for an extended amount of time.
# Allow to settle for one day.
# Observe the magnesium sulfate at the bottom of the can.
#* If it appears extremely moist, repeat the process
#* If it appears quite dry, the acetone is ready for use.
# Store away from moisture and never leave sitting with the cap off.
}}

{{procedure
|Conversion of Sodium Bicarbonate into Sodium Carbonate
|
# Pour sodium bicarbonate onto a non-aluminum pan.
# Place in the oven at 400ºF for one hour
# Place in a storage container and store away from moisture.

*This can also be done on a stove top/oven ring in a pot and take around 5-10 minutes to completely dehydrate (it becomes a fine light white powder and the CO2 stops bubbling through the powder).
}}

====='''Extraction Procedure'''=====

# Mix the intended base with the powdered source material at a ratio between 1:2 and 1:1.
#* ''The product remains in its natural salt form which is generally considered to be quite free from the botanical cell structure in powdered material.''
# Add only enough water to thoroughly moisten the mixture to the consistency of a paste while stirring to ensure the consistency of the mixture.
#* ''Although this is not generally considered a traditional aqueous phase in that it is not a solution, it is an aqueous phase in that it is excessively hydrated and sufficiently aqueous to facilitate reaction.''
# Allow adequate time to soak in order for reaction to occur.
#* ''The acid component of salt-form product undergoes reaction with the base, effectively neutralizing the acid and freeing the product in its pure alkaloid form, or freebase.''
# Stir in anhydrous magnesium sulfate until thoroughly dry.
#* ''The magnesium sulfate acts as a desiccant, and that this is performed in order to prevent water contamination of the acetone.''
# Add an excess of anhydrous acetone and stir thoroughly, allotting adequate time and stirring for thorough dissolution of the product into the acetone.
#* ''The more contact allotted between the product and the acetone, the greater the saturation.''
# Decant and/or filter acetone and collect, being careful not to allow any particulates into the collection vessel.
#* ''The bases used should not harm the quality of the product, but may interfere with the accuracy of weight.''
# Repeat steps 5-6 with fresh acetone until material is exhausted to satisfaction.
#* ''Three washes is generally considered sufficient.''

==='''Nontoxic Techniques'''===

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This technique is still experimental and may result in variable success unless employed with use of lye.}}

Nontoxic Teks typically involve the use of food-grade reactants and solvents in order to produce a completely safe and clean product. The current methods are essentially a hybrid of STB and A/B methods--effectively a B/A extraction method--but theoretically may be implemented similarly to drytek extraction, though drying procedures would be unnecessary due to the the exclusive use of the hydrophobic solvent, d-Limonene, in such procedures. The product is retrieved from the extraction solvent by a solution of acid in water, and the water is then evaporated, leaving behind a salt-form of the product to be collected either for further purification, direct administration, or conversion to freebase.

Currently the most reportedly successful nontoxic methods of extraction are "limtek" extractions, which are characterized by mixing the source material with lime and water until of a homogeneous doughy consistency, and then washing with limonene to extract. As lime is does not easily dissolve in water or break down plant material, it is necessary to pulverize the source material as thoroughly as possible for adequate results. This method was first proposed for the extraction of DMT with the advent of limonene's use in extraction, and later demonstrated for use in mescaline extraction.

Considerations:
: As the name implies, this technique is nontoxic throughout it's procedure, posing little to no hazard to the operator or to the user, and even a lessens the environmental impact. All of the materials used are generally considered as typical household items demanding little caution in storage considerations. However, because these teks implement the evaporation of water, the procedure can be a bit more cumbersome than other teks implementing the evaporation of volatile solvents. Oftentimes, a more toxic solvent is found to be preferable in the conversion from salt to freebase, though more cumbersome nontoxic methods are also available to accomplish this. Also, few acids will result in a solid salt-form, but most salt forms are considered to be preferable for longterm storage and for oral administration.

Material Considerations:

* Lye may substituted as a stronger base but is not nontoxic and may pose hazard for the operator.
* In order to be utilized for extraction, sodium bicarbonate must undergo conversion to sodium carbonate.
* Distilled water is preferable, as tap water almost always contains impurities that can potentially tamper with resulting yields.
* With few exceptions, the source material should be completely pulverized to a powder consistency before use, as this technique's choice of reagents are not quite capable of sufficiently breaking down the plant structure.

=='''Crystallization'''==

[[Image:Dmtx400tt9.jpg|thumb]]

Crystallization is the process by which a product is isolated from a solvent. This is accomplished by either allowing the solvent to completely evaporate or by causing a precipitation to occur within the solvent, which can then be isolated from the solvent by several methods and then dried of any residual solvent.

==='''Evaporation'''===

In extraction, evaporation is the process by which a solvent disperses from its liquid form into the air as a vapor and a gas. When this occurs, the less volatile constituents of the solvent solution are left behind, and as such, it is a common method of isolating solutes from solvent.

Considerations:
* Many common solvents contain impurities which may not be quite as volatile as the pure solvent and may leave these impurities behind as a residue.
* Solvents often emit fumes and odors which may be hazardous to health, flammable, or may alarm those within proximity of the odor.
* Some solvents may require an excessive length of time to evaporate.
* Some solvents may absorb ambient moisture, resulting in a less expedient evaporation.
* Excessive air flow may cause the oxidization of the product.
* Solvent may become Trapped within the crystal structure of the product, resulting in a less solid and less pure product.

==='''Freeze Precipitation'''===

Freeze precipitation is the process by which product is isolated from a solvent through a decrease in solubility achieved by lowering the temperature of the solvent. This process generally relies on the solvent being completely saturated or super-saturated with product. Freeze precipitation is generally the fastest method by which product can be isolated immediately following extraction, but it relies on the use of only very specific solvents. This method is preferably used in conjunction with A/B and STB techniques.

==='''Salting Methods'''===

Salting is the process by which freebase DMT is reacted with an acid to create a salt form which is generally water-soluble. The natural form of DMT in botanical sources tends to be a salt-form, thus facilitating the simple aqueous extraction used to prepare DMT-containing brews. It is quite common to perform aqueous acid extractions from the material, however—whether for the purposes of a brew or for A/B extraction. The salt-form itself rarely lends itself to proper crystallization and usually can only be isolated as an oil unless very specific methods and materials are employed.

====='''The FASA Method'''=====

{{materials_list
|
* Freebase DMT Saturated [[APS]] or [[NPS]]
|
* Anhydrous Acetone
|
* Fumaric Acid
}}

[[Image:Dmt fumarate bond.JPG|thumb|Two DMT molecules forming a complex with one fumaric acid molecule to form [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]].]]

The [[FASA|FASA]], or fumaric acid saturated acetone, method is a method employed to render [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]].

Considerations:
: [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] is reportedly quite stable and resistant to oxidization or other forms of degradation. It is notably resistant to heat, and as such is able to withstand low-temperature oven-drying. Certain other related compounds, such as jungle-spice and bufotenine are also able to crystallize as a fumarate. Defatting is not required prior to employing [[FASA|FASA]] methods, as oils and most other impurities should not interfere with this method's procedure or the yield

: Because [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] is water-soluble, it is also well-suited for oral administration in conjunction with harmaloids, either mixed into a beverage or encapsulated.

Methods:
:The [[FASA|FASA]] method employs the firstly, the solubility of fumaric acid in acetone, and secondly, solubility of freebase DMT in acetone, and thirdly, the insolubility of [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] in acetone or the non-polar solvents commonly utilized for extraction. The solubility of both DMT and fumaric acid in acetone facilitates their reaction to produce a crystalline DMT salt which is completely insoluble in acetone or non-polar solvents.

{{procedure
|Rendering Crystalline DMT Fumarate
|
# Dissolve about 7mg fumaric acid per mL of fresh anhydrous acetone to prepare a FASA solution, allotting adequate time and stirring for complete saturation, and allowing any excess to settle to the bottom.
#* ''It is recommended that the solution be prepared in slight excess of fumaric acid rather than an excess of acetone for the procedure to be most effective.''
# Prepare a DMT-saturated solution using either acetone, xylene, toulene, or DCM, ensuring that its container will facilitate the collection of a precipitate and protect the solution from moisture.
#* ''Naphtha, however, is reported to cause fumaric acid to precipitate out of acetone, disrupting any significant chemical reaction from occurring.''
# Add FASA dropwise to the DMT saturated solution until no more reaction can be observed.
#* ''A precipitate should form wherever the drops are added, but will eventually become too thick of a cloud to observe any new reaction occurring.''
# Once the solution settles enough for a clear segment of the solution to be observed where drops of FASA are to be added, repeat step 3.
# Repeat steps 3-4 until no more reaction occurs, and allow to settle completely.
# Carefully decant the solvent.
#* If acetone is the only solvent used, it can be reused as FASA, or if no significant excess of FASA has be added, it can be reused for drytek extraction.
#* If an [[NPS|NPS]] or DCM is used, the acetone and fumaric acid can be wash out with water and separated by standard separatory methods.
# Collect the salted product onto an evaporation dish and dry by air-drying or by oven-drying on the lowest possible heat setting.
#* ''It is advisable to wash the product with anhydrous acetone to remove any potential excess of fumaric acid or NPS.''
# Store the dry product away from heat and moisture.

=='''Purification'''==

[[Image:Dmt crystal.jpg|thumb]]

The purification of DMT product has several purposes and is accomplished by several different methods, but all of them essentially involve the washing of product in some way or another. Purification either involves the isolation of product from unwanted impurities from the plant source or from the process of extraction, or it involves the isolation of product from active impurities which may or may not be collected after isolation.

==='''Recrystallization'''===

The general purpose of recrystallization is to crystallize the product in a fresh solvent after it has already been isolated from a solvent containing a considerable amount of impurities. This is meant to lessen the interference of impurities on the process of crystallization. Often this process results in more well-formed crystals with less discoloration. The advantage of this method of purification is that the solvent choice for recrystalliztion may be different and more suitable than that chosen for extraction.

==='''Washing'''===

The purpose of washing is to disperse impurities off of the product or out of a solution containing the product and into an intermediate solvent.

====='''Alkaline Solution Washing of Inactive Impurities'''=====

Most of the impurities that plague yields tend to be quite soluble in both alkaline aqueous solutions and non-polar solvents. To remove these impurities, an imbalance in equilibrium must be created between these two types of solutions, causing the impurities to disperse into a disposable solution from the solution containing the product.

====='''Solvent Washing and Isolation of Active Impurities'''=====

Active impurities require a slightly different method of isolation for purification and generally rely strictly on differences of their solubility or insolubility in specific solvents. Often, reactions are required in order to create these differences, as the products tend to exhibit very similar properties.

==='''Freebase Conversion from Salt'''===

The methods used for converting crystalline salt-form DMT into freebase are not dissimilar from those used in extraction. The only significant difference between the processes is that the conversion involves far fewer impurities and less material than the extraction. Because of of this and the fact that it involves the isolation of the product from an acid, the conversion acts as a sort of purification method.

====='''STB Conversion'''=====

This conversion is simplistic in that it almost exactly resembles the methods used in [[The_Nexian_DMT_Handbook#STB_Techniques|STB Techniques]], though it is significantly simpler in that it involves less material, fewer impurities, and does not require a strong base.

Procedure:
# Dissolve [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] in an adequate amount of water.
#* ''No reaction occurs at this point.''
# Add a concentrated solution of weak base until total precipitation is observed by the cloudiness of the solution.
#* ''The fumaric acid undergoes reaction with the base, effectively neutralizing the acid and freeing the product in its pure alkaloid form, or freebase.''
# Stir in [[NPS]] thoroughly and allow to separate from the aqueous solution.
#* ''The more contact allotted between the product and the [[NPS]], the greater the saturation.''
# Collect the top layer of [[NPS]], being careful not to allow any aqueous contamination.
#* ''Aqueous contamination may result in an impure product or may disrupt subsequent crystallization.''

#* ''Three washes is generally considered sufficient.''
# See [[The_Nexian_DMT_Handbook#Crystallization|Crystallization]] in order to render crystalline freebase product.

====='''Drytek Conversion'''=====

This conversion is preferred for it's lack of need for separatory methods and for it's notably dry quality which facilitates the use of acetone. This method of conversion evolved out of the [[FASA|FASA]] method and is characteristically identical to Drytek extraction.

=='''Administration'''==

==='''Leaf Enhancement'''===

==='''Vaporization'''===

The vaporization method of administration pertains to the use of pure freebase product with no additional material. This method generally makes use of heating an apparatus that is intended to distribute the heat to the product until it reaches the point of vaporization and can be inhaled.

====='''Glass-Pipe Vaporizers'''=====

Glass-pipe vaporizers are glass pieces that are meant to be heated directly in order to indirectly disperse that heat into the product. The glass used must be thin enough for the heat to pass through its structure and potentially distribute the heat evenly. The piece must have a chamber within which the product will undergo vaporization. It must be assembled in a manner that will allow for air intake and output: The output being the inhalation nozzle, and the input being a sort of carb.

====='''"The Machine"'''=====

[[Image:TheMachine 01.jpg|thumb]]

"The Machine" is essentially a glass vaporizer in which heat is meant to distribute through the pipe rather than across the glass. It utilizes a metal mesh plug inside of the pipe, on which the product is to be placed, melted and vaporized. The mesh acts both as a screen and a heat-sink, simultaneously allowing for the even heating of the product and prevention from inhaling unvaporized particulates.

This method of vaporization includes the standard variations—which are essentially the simple combination of a vaporizing bowl and a vapor chamber with an inhalation nozzle—and the bubbler variation in which the vapor passes through a water heat-sink before reaching the vapor chamber and inhalation nozzle.

Material Considerations:
* Copper will gradually turn black due to the formation of Copper(II) oxide (CuO). This reaction and its reactants are not detrimental to the process of administration.

{{procedure
|the Improvisation of the Standard Variation
|
# Obtain a glass piece with only two openings—one smaller than the other—accessing a single chamber.
#* ''The most common method is to use a small bottle and drill a small hole in the bottom.''
#* ''Though a straight tube, such as a dropper stem, could be used, a larger vapor chamber may lend itself to a cooler vapor.''
# Prepare a plug made of metal mesh by cutting a piece of an excess of the appropriate size to fit in the larger opening of the glass piece.
#* ''Stainless steel and copper of a coarse mesh are preferable, as they do not tend to burn at the temperatures needed for vaporization.''
# Using pliers to hold the cutting, use a torch to thoroughly burn off any machine oil or coatings found on the mesh.
#* ''Perform this step until no more smoke can be observed emanating from the cutting.''
# Allow to cool and roll the cutting tight enough to fit in the larger opening of the glass piece.
#* ''The plug needs to be tight enough to suspend it in the opening but not so tight as to block air passage.''
# Obtain an inhalation nozzle or mouthpiece of some kind if necessary to facilitate inhalation from the vapor chamber through the smaller opening in the piece.
#* ''A tube or straw of some kind is the most common method.''
}}

{{procedure
|the Improvisation of the Bubbler Variation
|
* This variation can apply to the use of a small bubbler pipes, bong-style bubblers, or improvised bubblers.
* One need only to follow steps 2-4 of the standard variation though in application to the bowl of a bubbler rather than an improvised glass-piece.
* The water in the bubbler acts only as a heat-sink and will not absorb a significant if any amount of product, as the freebase product is not very soluble in water.
* The use of ice in cooling should be forgone, as it may cause the premature precipitation of product within the chamber.
}}

====='''Effective Use and Maintenance'''=====

As the term indicates, vaporizers are intended to vaporize, not to burn product, as such, the product should never come into contact with the flame or be overly heated to the point of burning. Generally, a vacuum must be generated in order to direct the heat through the product and to direct the vapor into the chamber. Which should not be allowed to sit for too long, as it may begin to precipitate within the chamber. Every toke should be held in the lungs as long as necessary for the vapor to be completely absorbed, as no vapor should be exhaled.

Heat-Source:
: Though many prefer a butane torch for expedient heating, and though many manners of vaporizer demand its use, a standard lighter will produce adequate heat for vaporization. A standard lighter is generally ideal for vaporizers that generate a strong enough vacuum to pull the flame toward the heat sink.

Common Methods of Inhalation:
* Some prefer to vaporize their entire dose before inhaling so as to administer one strong toke. This method can be quite harsh and difficult on the lungs and throat and may induce coughing. However, this is reportedly the most intense method of administration, almost always inducing a "breakthrough" if held in the lungs for adequate absorption.
* Others prefer to administer one dose within multiple tokes, which is reportedly slightly longer-lasting and much easier on the lungs and throat though possibly less intense. Usually the amount of tokes taken depends on the intended depth of the experience. In many cases, three is found to be more than adequate and four is said to be a "breakthrough" dose. Any subsequent tokes to the first toke must occur within the first minute, due to both tolerance and lack of motor skills building up rapidly

Cleaning the Apparatus:
* The apparatus used for vaporization can be cleaned using the same solvents used for extraction. However, volatility and toxicity concerns should be a strong consideration in choosing the proper solvent.
* It is preferable to choose a solvent that evaporates quickly and cleanly and able to dissolve a broad range of products, as oxidization is likely to have occurred.
* Residual solvent residue may be hazardous, as the user may inhale harmful fumes or potentially ignite the solvent.

: The residual product dissolved by the cleaning solvent may be salvaged by appropriate methods of crystallization. However, it is likely to contain a variety of inactive constituents, so proper purification measures would be advisable.

====='''Concerns Regarding the Experience'''=====

* The primary effects of smoked DMT, induced within minutes of administration, last for about 5-10 minutes and are characterized by strong visual hallucination, a strong psychedelic quality, and minor auditory hallucination, while the secondary effects of a much more mild character may last for up to an hour.
* Tolerance is reportedly induced rapidly and often dissipates rapidly, though repeated or high doses may induce a slightly longer term tolerance. Some believe it is best to wait at least one hour between doses.
* The experience of smoking DMT is said to be quite overwhelming. It is often necessary for the user to have a "sitter" nearby to tend to the smoking apparatus so as to not risk the possibility of the user damaging it or accidentally inflicting burns. It can also be temporarily debilitating, so the user may be advised to refrain from any physical activity.
* Set and setting are of the utmost importance, as the user is often rendered temporarily vulnerable and emotionally fragile. The user must determine the appropriate conditions in which administration is to take place but is advised to initially seek out a setting containing minimal stimuli.
* It may also behoove the user to seek out a more experienced sitter for guidance and support. Often this is unavailable, and as such, it would be more advisable for the user to perform the rite in solitude. An inexperienced sitter may inadvertently induce anxiety in the user out of negligence or unnecessary concern.

==='''Pharmahuasca'''===

* A general rule for the dose taken of DMT in a capsule is approx. 1mg per body weight.
* This is assuming that approx 100mg MAOI is taken first.
* Take one MAOI capsule (100mg) wait ten-twenty minutes
* Take one DMT capsule containg half of the dose (for 150lbs. bodyweight, 75mg DMT)
* Wait ten minutes, this will reduce the likelihood of vomiting.
* Take one DMT capsule containing the second half of the dose.\
* Experiment with how much spice you like to use and find what's right for SWIM.

====='''WARNING'''=====

* This method of administration can easily get out of hand by either thinking a small change in the weight of the dose will have little effect, the above dosage is considered to be a high one. Do not attempt to operate machinery during the trip. Do none of these things, after all SWIM will probably be lying on their back for a couple hours.

==='''Potentiation'''===

: The effects of DMT, as with most psychedelic substances, can be lengthened, strengthened, altered, or otherwise potentiated through the use of various psychoactive or bioactive compounds. The potentiation of DMT is actually the oldest method of administration, as its necessarily potentiated oral administration serves as the compound's longest known history of use. DMT is generally considered to be orally inactive without some form of potentiation, such as a harmaloid preparation. DMT's potentiation is not limited to oral use, however, as many of the same potentiating agents may be used in conjunction with vaporized or otherwise administered DMT.

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Exclamation.png]]||This handbook propounds to illuminate all manner of DMT practice for informational purposes and for implementation '''only where it is legal to do so'''. That being said, DMT's production and use should not be condoned or endorsed where it is illegal to do so. Even where it is legal to do so, the operator must proceed with caution and in adherence to local laws, as '''many of the chemicals required for production can be hazardous to health or otherwise dangerous.'''}}

The production and use of '''DMT (N,N-dimethyltryptamine)''', otherwise known as '''"Spice"''', is a practice that resonates strongly with the complementary qualities of ancient shamanic and alchemical spiritual practice as well as contemporary DIY (Do It Yourself) ethic. The production of spice is a discipline unlike that of most other commonly manufactured drugs, as it is not as well suited for bulk-production nor production for the purpose of sale as most well-known and intensively manufactured substances. As such, its use is generally inseparable from its production in practice and in spirit.

The production of DMT most commonly entails its extraction from botanical sources and only very rarely entails its synthesis. In this way, its production still strongly resembles its more ancient preparations by manner of brewing, a simple form of aqueous extraction still commonly performed to this day. This is the simplest and most readily administered form of extract if used as a component of a harmaloid-based preparation or -huasca brew.

=='''Source Selection'''==
[[Image:DMT.png|thumb]]
DMT, its analogues, and other related alkaloids can be found in a wide variety of lifeforms, varying from trace amounts to considerable amounts. It is impossible, therefore, to include all of the sources from which DMT can be extracted, so the following discussion will focus primarily on the most commonly used and significant botanical sources.

==='''Botanical Considerations'''===

Several species of plants contain a variety of constituents apart from DMT. This consideration is of the utmost importance when selecting the source plant from which an extraction is to be performed, as it may become the determining factor in the material requirements of the extraction process. Some plants may even contain toxic alkaloids, so thorough research must be conducted prior to selection, extraction, and administration.

====='''Common Botanical Sources'''=====

====='''Methods of Refinery'''=====

Before extracting alkaloids from the variety of plants named above, one generally needs to clean and prepare the plant source, to include washing, pulverization, or any other necessary pre-treatment.

====='''Defatting Concerns'''=====

==='''Vendor Considerations'''===

==='''Considerations Regarding Cultivation'''===

=='''Extraction'''==

[[Image:800px-Dimethyltryptamine-3d-sticks.png|thumb]]

Extraction generally refers to the process of isolating a product from a source. The basic idea is to utilize the unique properties of the product—whether reactive, electromagnetic, or otherwise structural—to draw it out of the source and into a target solvent. To accomplish this the product must either be naturally soluble in the solvent or must undergo reaction to increase its solubility. The difference between a high and low yield is firstly determined by how much more soluble the product is in the target solvent, than in its source material or solution, and secondly by how thoroughly the target solvent is mechanically brought into contact with the target solvent.

==='''STB Techniques'''===

Considerations:
: The use of "Straight To Base" techniques requires little experience or technical know-how for beginners to approach extraction techniques. STB is best-suited for quick, non-labor-intensive, crude bulk extractions. It requires no straining or cooking but requires time for soaking and separation. STB tends to yield a greater array of botanical impurities due to its lack of straining and defatting. These techniques do however enable a more thorough exhaustion of product from the material. This technique is ideal for shredded material that requires little or no defatting.

==='''A/B Techniques'''===

Considerations:
: The use of Acid/Base techniques implies the use of "acid-cooking" the source material, straining it, and basifying the resulting strained solution. The use of an initial acid extraction facilitates the implementation of a defatting phase and generally yields a product more devoid of botanical impurities. This technique is ideal for any material that requires defatting, though defatting may not be necessary, depending on the intended method of crystallization.

==='''Dry Techniques'''===

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This technique is still experimental and may result in variable success if used with MHRB.}}

Dry techniques (drytek) evolved from and are ideally intended for the implementation of the [[FASA|FASA]] method of crystallization and serve as the only techniques able to implement acetone as an extraction solvent. Acetone is generally favored for its ability to extract a notably broad range of active products.

Considerations:
: The use of dry techniques requires fewer and less toxic materials than the techniques that employ aqueous phases and separatory methods. The materials required are generally of a more household nature. They are most effectively applied to powdered botanical material. Acetone is, however, completely water miscible, so proper drying procedures are of the utmost importance. This technique may or may not require the defatting of botanical materials, depending on the intended method of crystallization. Dry techniques are the youngest of the current extraction techniques though apparently sound in theory and in practice.

* Household Base:
** Either Sodium Carbonate (Washing Soda)
** or Calcium Hydroxide (Pickling Lime)
** or Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda)
*** [[The_Nexian_DMT_Handbook#Material_Preparation_3|Converted to Sodium Carbonate]]
}}

Material Considerations:
* Acetone can be purchased at hardware stores but should be confirmed as pure acetone prior to purchase. Note that almost all acetone can contain up to 5% water contamination, depending on time and shelving conditions.
* In order to be utilized for extraction, sodium bicarbonate must undergo conversion to sodium carbonate.
* Lime is often found difficult to decant acetone off of and also difficult to filter out of acetone, whereas sodium carbonate is generally found more agreeable for both.
* Distilled water is preferable, as tap water almost always contains impurities that can potentially tamper with resulting yields.
* With few exceptions, the source material should be completely pulverized to a powder consistency before use, as this technique's choice of reagents are not quite capable of penetrating cell structure.

Methods:
: Extractions by dry techniques are characterized by the lack of a traditional aqueous phase in the extraction process, and instead, opting for basification within a paste which is followed by chemically drying the paste with desiccant. The process does not make use of separatory methods, and instead is characterized by it's use of dry-washing, decanting and non-intensive filtering methods. Certain materials must be rendered anhydrous prior to use.

====='''Material Preparation'''=====

{{procedure
|Rendering Anhydrous Magnesium Sulfate
|
# Spread Epsom Salt (Hydrated Magnesium Sulfate) on an aluminum foil covered pan.
# Place in the oven on 400°F for about one hour, or until the salt becomes gray and ash-like.
# Place your now anhydrous magnesium sulfate into a storage container and store away from moisture.
# If it becomes hydrated again, the process can be repeated.

*This can also be done on the stove top/oven ring, however it should be noted that as the Epsom Salt looses water it will stick to the inside of your pot but as it reaches complete dehydration and becomes grey and ash like it will unstick and become a powder.
}}

{{procedure
|Rendering Anhydrous Acetone
|
# Pour anhydrous magnesium sulfate directly into the can of acetone.
# Shake vigorously for an extended amount of time.
# Allow to settle for one day.
# Observe the magnesium sulfate at the bottom of the can.
#* If it appears extremely moist, repeat the process
#* If it appears quite dry, the acetone is ready for use.
# Store away from moisture and never leave sitting with the cap off.
}}

{{procedure
|Conversion of Sodium Bicarbonate into Sodium Carbonate
|
# Pour sodium bicarbonate onto a non-aluminum pan.
# Place in the oven at 400ºF for one hour
# Place in a storage container and store away from moisture.

*This can also be done on a stove top/oven ring in a pot and take around 5-10 minutes to completely dehydrate (it becomes a fine light white powder and the CO2 stops bubbling through the powder).
}}

====='''Extraction Procedure'''=====

# Mix the intended base with the powdered source material at a ratio between 1:2 and 1:1.
#* ''The product remains in its natural salt form which is generally considered to be quite free from the botanical cell structure in powdered material.''
# Add only enough water to thoroughly moisten the mixture to the consistency of a paste while stirring to ensure the consistency of the mixture.
#* ''Although this is not generally considered a traditional aqueous phase in that it is not a solution, it is an aqueous phase in that it is excessively hydrated and sufficiently aqueous to facilitate reaction.''
# Allow adequate time to soak in order for reaction to occur.
#* ''The acid component of salt-form product undergoes reaction with the base, effectively neutralizing the acid and freeing the product in its pure alkaloid form, or freebase.''
# Stir in anhydrous magnesium sulfate until thoroughly dry.
#* ''The magnesium sulfate acts as a desiccant, and that this is performed in order to prevent water contamination of the acetone.''
# Add an excess of anhydrous acetone and stir thoroughly, allotting adequate time and stirring for thorough dissolution of the product into the acetone.
#* ''The more contact allotted between the product and the acetone, the greater the saturation.''
# Decant and/or filter acetone and collect, being careful not to allow any particulates into the collection vessel.
#* ''The bases used should not harm the quality of the product, but may interfere with the accuracy of weight.''
# Repeat steps 5-6 with fresh acetone until material is exhausted to satisfaction.
#* ''Three washes is generally considered sufficient.''

==='''Nontoxic Techniques'''===

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This technique is still experimental and may result in variable success unless employed with use of lye.}}

Nontoxic Teks typically involve the use of food-grade reactants and solvents in order to produce a completely safe and clean product. The current methods are essentially a hybrid of STB and A/B methods--effectively a B/A extraction method--but theoretically may be implemented similarly to drytek extraction, though drying procedures would be unnecessary due to the the exclusive use of the hydrophobic solvent, d-Limonene, in such procedures. The product is retrieved from the extraction solvent by a solution of acid in water, and the water is then evaporated, leaving behind a salt-form of the product to be collected either for further purification, direct administration, or conversion to freebase.

Currently the most reportedly successful nontoxic methods of extraction are "limtek" extractions, which are characterized by mixing the source material with lime and water until of a homogeneous doughy consistency, and then washing with limonene to extract. As lime is does not easily dissolve in water or break down plant material, it is necessary to pulverize the source material as thoroughly as possible for adequate results. This method was first proposed for the extraction of DMT with the advent of limonene's use in extraction, and later demonstrated for use in mescaline extraction.

Considerations:
: As the name implies, this technique is nontoxic throughout it's procedure, posing little to no hazard to the operator or to the user, and even a lessens the environmental impact. All of the materials used are generally considered as typical household items demanding little caution in storage considerations. However, because these teks implement the evaporation of water, the procedure can be a bit more cumbersome than other teks implementing the evaporation of volatile solvents. Oftentimes, a more toxic solvent is found to be preferable in the conversion from salt to freebase, though more cumbersome nontoxic methods are also available to accomplish this. Also, few acids will result in a solid salt-form, but most salt forms are considered to be preferable for longterm storage and for oral administration.

Material Considerations:

* Lye may substituted as a stronger base but is not nontoxic and may pose hazard for the operator.
* In order to be utilized for extraction, sodium bicarbonate must undergo conversion to sodium carbonate.
* Distilled water is preferable, as tap water almost always contains impurities that can potentially tamper with resulting yields.
* With few exceptions, the source material should be completely pulverized to a powder consistency before use, as this technique's choice of reagents are not quite capable of sufficiently breaking down the plant structure.

=='''Crystallization'''==

[[Image:Dmtx400tt9.jpg|thumb]]

Crystallization is the process by which a product is isolated from a solvent. This is accomplished by either allowing the solvent to completely evaporate or by causing a precipitation to occur within the solvent, which can then be isolated from the solvent by several methods and then dried of any residual solvent.

==='''Evaporation'''===

In extraction, evaporation is the process by which a solvent disperses from its liquid form into the air as a vapor and a gas. When this occurs, the less volatile constituents of the solvent solution are left behind, and as such, it is a common method of isolating solutes from solvent.

Considerations:
* Many common solvents contain impurities which may not be quite as volatile as the pure solvent and may leave these impurities behind as a residue.
* Solvents often emit fumes and odors which may be hazardous to health, flammable, or may alarm those within proximity of the odor.
* Some solvents may require an excessive length of time to evaporate.
* Some solvents may absorb ambient moisture, resulting in a less expedient evaporation.
* Excessive air flow may cause the oxidization of the product.
* Solvent may become Trapped within the crystal structure of the product, resulting in a less solid and less pure product.

==='''Freeze Precipitation'''===

Freeze precipitation is the process by which product is isolated from a solvent through a decrease in solubility achieved by lowering the temperature of the solvent. This process generally relies on the solvent being completely saturated or super-saturated with product. Freeze precipitation is generally the fastest method by which product can be isolated immediately following extraction, but it relies on the use of only very specific solvents. This method is preferably used in conjunction with A/B and STB techniques.

==='''Salting Methods'''===

Salting is the process by which freebase DMT is reacted with an acid to create a salt form which is generally water-soluble. The natural form of DMT in botanical sources tends to be a salt-form, thus facilitating the simple aqueous extraction used to prepare DMT-containing brews. It is quite common to perform aqueous acid extractions from the material, however—whether for the purposes of a brew or for A/B extraction. The salt-form itself rarely lends itself to proper crystallization and usually can only be isolated as an oil unless very specific methods and materials are employed.

====='''The FASA Method'''=====

{{materials_list

* Freebase DMT Saturated [[APS]] or [[NPS]]

* Fumaric Acid
}}

[[Image:Dmt fumarate bond.JPG|thumb|Two DMT molecules forming a complex with one fumaric acid molecule to form [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]].]]

The [[FASA|FASA]], or fumaric acid saturated acetone, method is a method employed to render [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]].

Considerations:
: [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] is reportedly quite stable and resistant to oxidization or other forms of degradation. It is notably resistant to heat, and as such is able to withstand low-temperature oven-drying. Certain other related compounds, such as jungle-spice and bufotenine are also able to crystallize as a fumarate. Defatting is not required prior to employing [[FASA|FASA]] methods, as oils and most other impurities should not interfere with this method's procedure or the yield

: Because [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] is water-soluble, it is also well-suited for oral administration in conjunction with harmaloids, either mixed into a beverage or encapsulated.

Methods:
:The [[FASA|FASA]] method employs the firstly, the solubility of fumaric acid in acetone, and secondly, solubility of freebase DMT in acetone, and thirdly, the insolubility of [[DMT Fumarate|DMT Fumarate]] in acetone or the non-polar solvents commonly utilized for extraction. The solubility of both DMT and fumaric acid in acetone facilitates their reaction to produce a crystalline DMT salt which is completely insoluble in acetone or non-polar solvents.

{{procedure
|Rendering Crystalline DMT Fumarate
|
# Dissolve about 7mg fumaric acid per mL of fresh anhydrous acetone to prepare a FASA solution, allotting adequate time and stirring for complete saturation, and allowing any excess to settle to the bottom.
#* ''It is recommended that the solution be prepared in slight excess of fumaric acid rather than an excess of acetone for the procedure to be most effective.''
# Prepare a DMT-saturated solution using either acetone, xylene, toulene, or DCM, ensuring that its container will facilitate the collection of a precipitate and protect the solution from moisture.
#* ''Naphtha, however, is reported to cause fumaric acid to precipitate out of acetone, disrupting any significant chemical reaction from occurring.''
# Add FASA dropwise to the DMT saturated solution until no more reaction can be observed.
#* ''A precipitate should form wherever the drops are added, but will eventually become too thick of a cloud to observe any new reaction occurring.''
# Once the solution settles enough for a clear segment of the solution to be observed where drops of FASA are to be added, repeat step 3.
# Repeat steps 3-4 until no more reaction occurs, and allow to settle completely.
# Carefully decant the solvent.
#* If acetone is the only solvent used, it can be reused as FASA, or if no significant excess of FASA has be added, it can be reused for drytek extraction.
#* If an [[NPS|NPS]] or DCM is used, the acetone and fumaric acid can be wash out with water and separated by standard separatory methods.
# Collect the salted product onto an evaporation dish and dry by air-drying or by oven-drying on the lowest possible heat setting.
#* ''It is advisable to wash the product with anhydrous acetone to remove any potential excess of fumaric acid or NPS.''
# Store the dry product away from heat and moisture.

=='''Purification'''==

[[Image:Dmt crystal.jpg|thumb]]

The purification of DMT product has several purposes and is accomplished by several different methods, but all of them essentially involve the washing of product in some way or another. Purification either involves the isolation of product from unwanted impurities from the plant source or from the process of extraction, or it involves the isolation of product from active impurities which may or may not be collected after isolation.

==='''Recrystallization'''===

The general purpose of recrystallization is to crystallize the product in a fresh solvent after it has already been isolated from a solvent containing a considerable amount of impurities. This is meant to lessen the interference of impurities on the process of crystallization. Often this process results in more well-formed crystals with less discoloration. The advantage of this method of purification is that the solvent choice for recrystalliztion may be different and more suitable than that chosen for extraction.

==='''Washing'''===

The purpose of washing is to disperse impurities off of the product or out of a solution containing the product and into an intermediate solvent.

====='''Alkaline Solution Washing of Inactive Impurities'''=====

Most of the impurities that plague yields tend to be quite soluble in both alkaline aqueous solutions and non-polar solvents. To remove these impurities, an imbalance in equilibrium must be created between these two types of solutions, causing the impurities to disperse into a disposable solution from the solution containing the product.

====='''Solvent Washing and Isolation of Active Impurities'''=====

Active impurities require a slightly different method of isolation for purification and generally rely strictly on differences of their solubility or insolubility in specific solvents. Often, reactions are required in order to create these differences, as the products tend to exhibit very similar properties.

==='''Freebase Conversion from Salt'''===

The methods used for converting crystalline salt-form DMT into freebase are not dissimilar from those used in extraction. The only significant difference between the processes is that the conversion involves far fewer impurities and less material than the extraction. Because of of this and the fact that it involves the isolation of the product from an acid, the conversion acts as a sort of purification method.

====='''STB Conversion'''=====

This conversion is simplistic in that it almost exactly resembles the methods used in [[The_Nexian_DMT_Handbook#STB_Techniques|STB Techniques]], though it is significantly simpler in that it involves less material, fewer impurities, and does not require a strong base.

====='''Drytek Conversion'''=====

This conversion is preferred for it's lack of need for separatory methods and for it's notably dry quality which facilitates the use of acetone. This method of conversion evolved out of the [[FASA|FASA]] method and is characteristically identical to Drytek extraction.

=='''Administration'''==

==='''Leaf Enhancement'''===

==='''Vaporization'''===

The vaporization method of administration pertains to the use of pure freebase product with no additional material. This method generally makes use of heating an apparatus that is intended to distribute the heat to the product until it reaches the point of vaporization and can be inhaled.

====='''Glass-Pipe Vaporizers'''=====

Glass-pipe vaporizers are glass pieces that are meant to be heated directly in order to indirectly disperse that heat into the product. The glass used must be thin enough for the heat to pass through its structure and potentially distribute the heat evenly. The piece must have a chamber within which the product will undergo vaporization. It must be assembled in a manner that will allow for air intake and output: The output being the inhalation nozzle, and the input being a sort of carb.

{{procedure

====='''"The Machine"'''=====

[[Image:TheMachine 01.jpg|thumb]]

"The Machine" is essentially a glass vaporizer in which heat is meant to distribute through the pipe rather than across the glass. It utilizes a metal mesh plug inside of the pipe, on which the product is to be placed, melted and vaporized. The mesh acts both as a screen and a heat-sink, simultaneously allowing for the even heating of the product and prevention from inhaling unvaporized particulates.

This method of vaporization includes the standard variations—which are essentially the simple combination of a vaporizing bowl and a vapor chamber with an inhalation nozzle—and the bubbler variation in which the vapor passes through a water heat-sink before reaching the vapor chamber and inhalation nozzle.

Material Considerations:
* Copper will gradually turn black due to the formation of Copper(II) oxide (CuO). This reaction and its reactants are not detrimental to the process of administration.

{{procedure
|the Improvisation of the Standard Variation
|
# Obtain a glass piece with only two openings—one smaller than the other—accessing a single chamber.
#* ''The most common method is to use a small bottle and drill a small hole in the bottom.''
#* ''Though a straight tube, such as a dropper stem, could be used, a larger vapor chamber may lend itself to a cooler vapor.''
# Prepare a plug made of metal mesh by cutting a piece of an excess of the appropriate size to fit in the larger opening of the glass piece.
#* ''Stainless steel and copper of a coarse mesh are preferable, as they do not tend to burn at the temperatures needed for vaporization.''
# Using pliers to hold the cutting, use a torch to thoroughly burn off any machine oil or coatings found on the mesh.
#* ''Perform this step until no more smoke can be observed emanating from the cutting.''
# Allow to cool and roll the cutting tight enough to fit in the larger opening of the glass piece.
#* ''The plug needs to be tight enough to suspend it in the opening but not so tight as to block air passage.''
# Obtain an inhalation nozzle or mouthpiece of some kind if necessary to facilitate inhalation from the vapor chamber through the smaller opening in the piece.
#* ''A tube or straw of some kind is the most common method.''
}}

{{procedure
|the Improvisation of the Bubbler Variation
|
* This variation can apply to the use of a small bubbler pipes, bong-style bubblers, or improvised bubblers.
* One need only to follow steps 2-4 of the standard variation though in application to the bowl of a bubbler rather than an improvised glass-piece.
* The water in the bubbler acts only as a heat-sink and will not absorb a significant if any amount of product, as the freebase product is not very soluble in water.
* The use of ice in cooling should be forgone, as it may cause the premature precipitation of product within the chamber.
}}

====='''Effective Use and Maintenance'''=====

As the term indicates, vaporizers are intended to vaporize, not to burn product, as such, the product should never come into contact with the flame or be overly heated to the point of burning. Generally, a vacuum must be generated in order to direct the heat through the product and to direct the vapor into the chamber. Which should not be allowed to sit for too long, as it may begin to precipitate within the chamber. Every toke should be held in the lungs as long as necessary for the vapor to be completely absorbed, as no vapor should be exhaled.

Heat-Source:
: Though many prefer a butane torch for expedient heating, and though many manners of vaporizer demand its use, a standard lighter will produce adequate heat for vaporization. A standard lighter is generally ideal for vaporizers that generate a strong enough vacuum to pull the flame toward the heat sink.

Common Methods of Inhalation:
* Some prefer to vaporize their entire dose before inhaling so as to administer one strong toke. This method can be quite harsh and difficult on the lungs and throat and may induce coughing. However, this is reportedly the most intense method of administration, almost always inducing a "breakthrough" if held in the lungs for adequate absorption.
* Others prefer to administer one dose within multiple tokes, which is reportedly slightly longer-lasting and much easier on the lungs and throat though possibly less intense. Usually the amount of tokes taken depends on the intended depth of the experience. In many cases, three is found to be more than adequate and four is said to be a "breakthrough" dose. Any subsequent tokes to the first toke must occur within the first minute, due to both tolerance and lack of motor skills building up rapidly

Cleaning the Apparatus:
* The apparatus used for vaporization can be cleaned using the same solvents used for extraction. However, volatility and toxicity concerns should be a strong consideration in choosing the proper solvent.
* It is preferable to choose a solvent that evaporates quickly and cleanly and able to dissolve a broad range of products, as oxidization is likely to have occurred.
* Residual solvent residue may be hazardous, as the user may inhale harmful fumes or potentially ignite the solvent.

: The residual product dissolved by the cleaning solvent may be salvaged by appropriate methods of crystallization. However, it is likely to contain a variety of inactive constituents, so proper purification measures would be advisable.

====='''Concerns Regarding the Experience'''=====

* The primary effects of smoked DMT, induced within minutes of administration, last for about 5-10 minutes and are characterized by strong visual hallucination, a strong psychedelic quality, and minor auditory hallucination, while the secondary effects of a much more mild character may last for up to an hour.
* Tolerance is reportedly induced rapidly and often dissipates rapidly, though repeated or high doses may induce a slightly longer term tolerance. Some believe it is best to wait at least one hour between doses.
* The experience of smoking DMT is said to be quite overwhelming. It is often necessary for the user to have a "sitter" nearby to tend to the smoking apparatus so as to not risk the possibility of the user damaging it or accidentally inflicting burns. It can also be temporarily debilitating, so the user may be advised to refrain from any physical activity.
* Set and setting are of the utmost importance, as the user is often rendered temporarily vulnerable and emotionally fragile. The user must determine the appropriate conditions in which administration is to take place but is advised to initially seek out a setting containing minimal stimuli.
* It may also behoove the user to seek out a more experienced sitter for guidance and support. Often this is unavailable, and as such, it would be more advisable for the user to perform the rite in solitude. An inexperienced sitter may inadvertently induce anxiety in the user out of negligence or unnecessary concern.

==='''Pharmahuasca'''===

* A general rule for the dose taken of DMT in a capsule is approx. 1mg per body weight.
* This is assuming that approx 100mg MAOI is taken first.
* Take one MAOI capsule (100mg) wait ten-twenty minutes
* Take one DMT capsule containg half of the dose (for 150lbs. bodyweight 75mg)
* Wait ten minutes, this will reduce the likelihood of vomiting.
* Take one DMT capsule containing the second half of the dose.\
* Experiment with how much spice you like to use and find what's right for SWIM.

====='''WARNING'''=====

* This method of administration can easily get out of hand by either thinking a small change in the weight of the dose will have little effect, the above dosage is considered to be a high one. Do not attempt to operate machinery during the trip. Do none of these things, after all SWIM will probably be lying on their back for a couple hours.

==='''Potentiation'''===

: The effects of DMT, as with most psychedelic substances, can be lengthened, strengthened, altered, or otherwise potentiated through the use of various psychoactive or bioactive compounds. The potentiation of DMT is actually the oldest method of administration, as its necessarily potentiated oral administration serves as the compound's longest known history of use. DMT is generally considered to be orally inactive without some form of potentiation, such as a harmaloid preparation. DMT's potentiation is not limited to oral use, however, as many of the same potentiating agents may be used in conjunction with vaporized or otherwise administered DMT.

# Get a glass and put a teaspoon of baking soda (or 1/4 teaspoon of sodium carbonate) in it. Fill with about 100–150mL luke warm/room temperature water. Stir, stir, stir. It will not all dissolved, but we are making a saturated solution so that is fine. Let all soilds settle.
# Dissolve freeze preciptated spice in enough warm naphtha that is does not cloud upon cooling. Less is better, but use enough to prevent precipitation. I use 1/2 pint canning jars for this. For 1g of spice I would use 200mL of warm naphtha or bestine.
# Take a baster/syring/nasal aspirator and suck up some of the saturated baking soda water … do not get any solid baking soda in the baster.
# Add until the volume of baking soda (or sodium carbonate) solution is about 1/4 the volume of naphtha.
# Swirl around for about a minute, do not heat. You can shake.
# After swirling I usually take my nasal aspirator (I like it better than a syringe or a turkey baster) and suck up some of the naphtha layer and squirt it into the baking soda layer … not sure if it helps or not, but it is what I always do. It just mixes it up a little better and it separates pretty quickly.
# Remove naphtha layer (top layer!) save and recrystalize normally (freeze or room temp, your choice)
# Trash baking soda layer (bottom layer!), or add more naphtha and attempt to recover any lost yield (I've tried without success, just not enough spice in there).

I imagine that this would work with naphtha just pulled from the basified mimosa juice (uncrystalized) … however, I like to freeze precipitate first. It seems to get a much cleaner product.

With the method I have outline above I have taken yellow oily freeze precipitated spice that badly burns the tongue and turned it into clear spice that no longer burns (just a little bitter). My best batches of spice were made using this technique.

The taste and vaporization also seems to be improved.

Total yield loss after washing AND recrystalization from a gram is about 80mgs. I've read some threads about how yellow spice is better/smoother than clear spice. I am not in that group of people. I think that crystal clear/white spice gives the best experience.

Also after final recrystalization I will put my mason jar containg my spice (no solvent, just spice) into a hot water bath and melt it down. I then put it into the freezer for about 10 minutes. The spice that comes out is denser, easier to vaporize, and for some reason more potent. I highly suggest trying the spice meltdown method … you will be suprised at the results!

1. Obtain naptha/spice solution from extraction.
2. Freeze until spice precipitates.
3. Pull or pour out all naptha from the precipitate and set to dry.
4. After the spice is dry, add heptane (heptane can be purchased from most hardware/craft stores in the brand BESTINE).
5. Warm the heptane/spice solution slowly in almost boiling water and agitate (the solution should be transparent).
6. Freeze.
7. After the spice has precipitated, pull or pour the heptane from the solution and set to dry.
8. The spice is now ready for use. Spice from the A/B naptha extraction will result in clean pearly white crystals.
