Warm water bath changa

Making Changa usually involves the use of solvents such as isopropyl alcohol or acetone. Making Changa without solvents has several advantages over traditional TEKs that use solvents:

• Your leaf material won't be at risk of having residue solvent left in it
• Cheaper because no solvent is needed
• From freebase DMT to Changa in less than 15 minutes
• Works with and without harmalas

The pictures for this TEK were made without harmalas but the guide will explain the harmala steps as well.

Requirements

• DMT
• Harmalas (optional)
• Your preferred mixture of herbs
• Shot glass
• Plastic wrapping
• Small cup
• Boiling water
• Mixing rod

The pictures were taken while I was making Changa with 500 mg of DMT and 500 mg of dried tarragon that was finely crumbled.

The recipe

Place the herbs in the hot glass and place the DMT on top of the herbs. Don't mix yet, the DMT needs to stay on top of the herbs for optimal absorption when it melts and runs down the herbs.

Cover the shot glass with some plastic wrapper to ensure the mixture stays dry in case of splashing water. I accidentally knocked my shot glass over when I placed it in the cup of water so I was glass I had it wrapped in plastic.

Heat up some water to 100C and place the shot glass into the cup and gently pour hot water into the cup. Make sure you don't pour directly onto the plastic. Let this sit for 5 minutes and then check if all the DMT has melted. If not, replace the warm water with fresh boiling water and let sit for another few minutes.

Take the shot glass out of the cup, remove the plastic wrapper and stir thoroughly with your mixing rod to ensure all the leaf material has the chance to soak up DMT. Let the mixture cool down and the DMT will start to crystallize. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes and then remove from the shot glass. And done.

There will still be plenty of DMT in the shot glass that shouldn't be wasted. I was told I could recover this by using IPA / acetone but I decided to experiment a bit. Take a tiny bit of herb and make sure it's finely crumbled. Add a tiny amount of boiling water to the cup and place the shot glass in it without putting plastic over it. Be careful that the water doesn't run into your shot glass. Scrape the herb material across the glass with your mixing rod to let it soak up the DMT. When you think you have most of the DMT, remove the glass from the hot water and immediately remove the herbs from the glass. This simple trick will help get most of the DMT from the glass and into your changa.

Any remaining DMT can be recovered using IPA / acetone and evaporated. Voila, you made changa in under 15 minutes and without the use of solvents. Can't wait to try it out!
