Hi
I would be forever grateful if anyone interested would check through this and give suggestions or confirmation on things..
It is adapted from (or my understanding of) "QT's DMT Extraction for Students"
http://www.dmtextraction.org/mimosa1dmtextraction.htm (though jars labelled differently) and other things I read online.. so this is what my understanding of how it can be done so far..
Inventory:
(larger amounts of the substances, but this is for one extraction from 30g bark powder)
Gloves, mask, glasses
30g Mimosa hostilis bark powder
345ml Distilled water - 345ml
3 Jars (thick glass, with lids.. for all substances)
pH papers
pipette (plastic.. for the acid)
3ml Hydrochloric acid
measuring jug (glass.. for solvent, and water)
turkey baster (plastic.. for removing solvent from separations, and acidified water)
stirrer (glass.. for acid+bark+water, lye+water, acid+water)
ceramic bowl (.. for hot water to heat up the jars)
thermometer (don't know which kind (plastic/metal/glass).. for solvent, and acid+bark+water)
cotton wool
funnel (plastic.. for acid+bark+water)
coffee filters
600ml Solvent and 500ml to test (Ronnsonol lighter fluid)
5g Lye
Vinegar to neutralise lye spills
dish (glass.. for testing solvent and evaporating final solution)
razor
Steps
0. test solvent for impurities - leave 500ml (of the same brand to be used) out in a glass dish with no lid until it evaporates. If there is residue, try a different brand.
1. Add to a jar: 250ml water (the tek said 500ml, then half isn't used), hydrochloric acid (aprx 1ml) until it is pH 2, and then 30g of Bark
Stir
2. Boil some water (enough to cover the bottom inch of the jar) and put in a large ceramic bowl.
Put jar in bowl with it's lid off
check temperature of jar's contents, and add hot/cold water to a temperature of 50'C for 25mins.
(leave for 24 hours, shaking occasionally)
3. pour the solution through a funnel blocked up with cotton wool
keep the liquid in JAR A, and the residue in another
4. Repeat steps 1-3 with the residue, leaving for 7 days instead of the 24hrs.
5. Repeat steps 1-3 with the residue, leaving for 7 days instead of the 24hrs, and using a coffee filter instead of cotton wool
6. Add 100ml of solvent to JAR A.
shake for 20mins
(wait for it to separate into 2 distinct layers.. between 24 and 48 hrs)
7. Remove the top layer (orange/pink) with a turkey baster and discard
8. In JAR B, warm 100ml of the solvent like in step 2.. for ??? minutes, at ??? temperature.
Then add JAR B's contents to JAR A
9. In JAR C, add 95ml of water, and slowly add Lye (apr 5g) intill it is ph 11.
Add small amounts of this to JAR A, slowly and stirring, until JAR A's pH is between 9 and 11.
(Solution should be grey, then become black and will heat up)
(leave for 24 hours to separate)
10. Remove the top layer (orange/pink) with a turkey baster and discard
11. Repeat steps 8 (not 9) and 10, two times with JAR A.
12. Pour on a dish, and leave to evaporate (up to a week)
13. Scrape up the residue with a razor and that is DMT!
(aprox 5 doses (275mg) from the bark (30g) )
Questions..
1) Is the inventory (incl the choice of glass/plastics) ok?
2) Is a pH meter required, rather than pH papers? (with the substance in step 9 being coloured)
3) is getting the solvent from the cans simple?
4) Does the spongey inlay that comes with the lids on the jars need to be removed?
5) Is there something that should be done differently in the steps?
6) is it actually possible to collect the residue in step 3 with it being mixed into all the cotton wool?
7) when leaving the solution for a while (to separate, or for the acid to react with the bark). should the lid be on of off?
8.) in steps 7 and 10, can the separation be done sufficiently with a turkey baster, or should I be using a ziplock bag/separatory funnel?
9) is heating in a bowl of hot water enough for step 2 (to make it 50'C) or do I need it on the stove in a double boiler?
10) having read that it has to be the bowl for step 8, to what temperature and for how long should solvent be warmed in step 8?
11) are there any maximum time delays between the steps.. can the process be left for a few days or a week if needed?
12) I've read to use vinegar incase of lye spills.. do I need anything for solvent or acid spills?
13) will there be strong smells or vapours that could be a problem with doing it in a small appartment? (it can be kept well ventilated (has outside door and windows) for times when doing things with it, but not overnight)
14) could it explode!?! (thinking about step 9)
15) what are the dangers of using the final substance if something was done wrong in this extraction?
Thanks
