Thank you for sharing all of these experiences here Bancopuma.

Incredible to hear how the mushrooms brought back the 5meo space. I think perhaps the most important thing for the larger community of the world in all this is what this type of realization "means" for our daily life as humans and our interactions with one another.

I'd be interested in hearing what you think about that based on your experience with the force that unifies everything.

What a beautiful realization to know that we are all truly in this together as One.

Thank you.

I think perhaps individuals like yourselves will be really valuable supports to people that come here on this forum.

Thank you for being here and for bringing your experiences with you.

Thank you for this beautiful account of your experience with Unity/Divinity/Oneness.

I especially appreciated your reflection here: "So you were embraced by the divine, so what?" to paraphrase Rick Strassman. And that of course is the crux of the matter. Will something that felt so life changing really be, really make a difference. ... As for me, well, if you see a slightly glowing old bald man somewhere, suddenly chuckling or weeping for no apparent reason, give him the benefit of the doubt. He may have seen God.

That question is so important. Once having been embraced by the divine, I think we have to put that experience into practice, to integrate it into the fullness of our being. That is where the hardest work lies because it often involves changing our entire way of living.

Love and Blessings,
HumbleVoyager

Hmm I had a similar experience with yopo. It was not until I had it forcefully blown up there that I had a full-on experience!

That could be a possible source but not terribly viable... in 100g of material you'd have only 40mg of 5-MeO-DMT  :-\

For converting to freebase, this is a good tek from the folks at the Nexus (I made some grammatical corrections):
QuoteWe have this question coming back sometimes, as those using this molecule generally know, it is more stable as salt form. So it is actually wise to save it in HCL form for exemple and only freebase it as you use it.
This way you avoide oxydisation.

So simply, to freebase your 5-MeO-DMT :

- Carefully weigh what you need with a 0,001 g scale (milligram accurate), for exemple 100 mg (so it can be anything from 8 to 20 doses of vaped 5meo depending what dose suits you or what state you want to achieve (from 5mg to 15mg generally, higher can be way too much for most poeple)

- Then dose half of what you just weighed (in this exemple we choose 100mg) so 50mg sodium carbonate.
- Mix them and crush together in a spoon.
- Add enough water to cover the mix of base and tryptamine (distilled water is best so neutral pH and less impurities in end product.)
- Then warm up carefully with a lighter, it will bubble a bit as the water evaporate, as soon as it looks like wet but watery anymore, stop warming up.
- leave the wet mix to dry completely.
- Once dry I simply add water again to see if it was now insoluble and it is, so simply filter the water (which can pick up the excess sodium carbonate) and save the solid (or scrape them).

(optional) - Now with freebase 5-MeO-DMT I prefer to do an enchanted leaves mix so I can dose accurately a few mg if I want, for this simply choose herbs to 5meo ratio.

- 400mg blue lilly and 500mg Mullein flower (for exemple, but you choose hwatever herbs suits you, until you stay safe) to 100mg 5-Meo Freebase mix together in IPA, stir often and left to evaporate, then scrape, let dry completely until no scent of IPA and put in a little jar (amber or colored glass with screw top is best), labelled !! so you don't smoke that enchanted leaves 5M thinking it's changa

I have never extracted 5-MeO-DMT for personal use, just crude extractions for analysis, but theoretically yes, it would be pretty much the same extraction as DMT.  As for A. falcata, the alkaloids found were either 5-MeO-DMT, or bufotenine, or small amounts of DMT..  bufotenine can be easily separated due to it's polarity, it should stay in the acqueous layer when extracting with naphtha/hexane/heptane  since it is too polar, while 5-MeO-DMT and DMT should come across.. Separating 5-MeO-DMT and DMT would be a bit more complex due to the similar polarities but it is still theoretically possible in a number of ways.. I (or someone else) would have to experiment though. Either way it would be definitely worth to do an A/B and see what you have.. The final product could be tested with TLC (easy enough for everyone)  or I could help getting it tested in a lab.

HumbleVoyager, I've never heard of anyone having success with virola resin, but to be honest I havent heard of anyone trying virola resin in general, so....  I'd try an A/B for sure.  One could even try to use a less selective solvent like xylene/toluene (or limonene and then backsalting with acidic solution)  to make sure one is getting more of the alkaloids.   I can help it getting tested if someone does this

I can easily have this done by the end of summer :)
Will then send to you for analysis.

While interesting, I think regardless it would be important for us as humans to look elsewhere for sources of medicine.

Thank you for sharing this incredible article Shy Violet. It is most definitely worthy of publication in other outlets as well...perhaps Psychedelic Times would be interested? Erowid would be another one I would consider submitting to.

I think this article speaks to a very important issue that needs to be considered as human beings continue to develop their relationship to this incredibly special molecule.

Thank you thank you thank you.

Blessings.

Science / Re: 5-MeO-DMT in Phalaris grass species
June 02, 2017, 05:33:44 AM
Interesting about your extraction of Phalaris arundinacea! And very interesting effects. I wonder why the effects took so long to come on! Usually when vaped, the onset is much quicker for molecules of this nature.

With a concentration of 0.0025% to 0.045% wet weight, it seems that 2kg would at most yield 90mg. The fact that it was difficult to get crystals speaks to the potential problem we would have of isolating the target compound. That would perhaps be one of the biggest challenges in the plant extraction world of 5-MeO-DMT.

Thank you for compiling this list, ForeverChanging!

It seems that the most promising ones would be Anadenanthera falcata and Desmodium pulchellum. The biggest challenge there would be to separate all the compounds, no?

With Virola resin: Is there honestly any person who has successfully done a pure extraction of 5-MeO-DMT from it? And if so, what methods were used? I scoured DMT Nexus for information on Virola extraction but found nothing satisfyingly conclusive. I did read people suggesting that an A/B extraction with a defat step would be good but I didn't read of anyone being very successful. Any thoughts on this one? I do know of someone who has a large amount of wild harvested resin, so perhaps that could be tested.

A quick PSA regarding the recent downtimes on this site.

It seems there was some software issues on the backend but all software has been updated and the site should be fully stable now.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

If there are further issues, please feel free to email [email protected]

Thank you :)
