- Smokable Dimethyltryptamine from Organic Sources
- By Mescalito Ted
-
-
- Ahh.. You may be saying "Wow, big words - this text probably
- won't do me much good". Wrong. DMT is one of the most intense trips
- known to mankind, and is easy to obtain from licit sources. This text
- file will start by telling you where you can order the seeds are the
- actual plants themselves... It will end by showing you how to be
- in a maelstrom of circling liquid flesh while elves lick your
- genitalia. OK? OK. I'll try to make this as understandable by the
- 'unknowledgable' as possible.
- There are a large number of plants from around the world that
- contain DMT and other similar alkaloids. Some of these are several
- Psychotria spp., Phalaris spp., Acacia spp., Arundo donax, Desmanthus
- illinoiensis, etc. The plant we will be dealing with in this text
- is called Phalaris aruninacea. This plant is easy to obtain, looks
- almost identical to common lawn grass, has some of the highest
- concentrations of DMT, and is beyond easy to grow.
-
- Phalaris arundinacea is available from MANY mail-order companies.
- Here is a list of addresses and prices.. (These are spring 1995 prices)
- Do not be stupid with these companies inquiring about drugs, etc... These
- are (semi)legitimate businesses.

- Ok, there are many more companies, but these are really all you
- need to know about. Make sure when ever you order a product from these
- companies you say your were referred by Mescalito Ted. Also, throw
- in about 5 extra dollars for any of the above compaines for shipping. I
- recommend purchasing the P. aquatica seeds from ...of the jungle. This is
- a newly discovered plant and has much potential. I would also suggest
- growing the plant yourself as opposed to buying the live plant. It is
- extremely easy to grow, and you save a lot of money.
-
- P. arundinacae is a highly evasive grass that spreads through
- runners on the surface. The seeds work best if grown in a sterilized
- potting soild mixture, and sown in a large flat vat, or pan. Of course
- you can grow it in pots, but there is not as much surface area. The seeds
- are sown approx. 1/8" under the soil and around 1/2" away from each other.
- Give them plenty of light, and water them daily. You will see them sprout
- in less then 4-5 days. They will be tall enough to pick in about 2-3 weeks.
-
- There are a lot of facts about DMT you should know about if you
- don't already. Before trying it, do some reading on the effects... DMT
- flashes can become extremely intense, and could literally quickly clear
- your bowels if you are not mentally prepared. DMT is not *normally*
- orally active. But, through the use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors
- (MAOI's), it can become active by drinking or eating. A mixture of an
- MAOI and Dimethyltryptamine is called Ayahuasca. This text will be dealing
- with *smokable* DMT, so don't worry about MAOI's right now.
- As far as I know, the whole idea of smokable DMT from plants is
- a very new area of exploration. (At least using methods that we can all
- handle in our household lab... AKA - Kitchen. heh.) James Dekorne (author
- of the 'Psychedelic Shamanism' and other books. He his also the compiler
- and distributor of the Entheogen Review) discovered the methods that will
- be discussed below. Here is a extract from his book...
-
- (Psychedelic Shamanism - Chapter 11 | Avail. From Loompanics)
-
- An extremely potent smokable form of DMT can be extracted from the
- reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacae). I made this discovery more than
- a month after the manuscript of this book was completed and sent to the
- publisher. Therefore I offer this added chapter as something totally new.
- To the best of my knowledge this information has never been published in a
- book before, though I make no claim that I am the first person to discover
- it.
- Like many such discoveries, this one was almost an accident. I had
- two crushed capsules of Phalaris concentrate which I wanted to salvage as
- an ayahuasca admixture. I placed the material in a shot glass full of
- alcohol in order to redissolve the extract. After removing the cracked
- shards of gelatin, I set the glass aside and forgot about it. Of course,
- the alcohol soon evaporated, leaving behind a gummy tar. This lay around
- for a period of two weeks. At one point I was about to throw it out, then
- on a sudden whim wondered what would happed if I smoked the stuff.
- Accordingly, I redissolved the tar in alcohol and added a pinch of
- oregano as an inert smoking medium. The alcohol was allowed to evaporate,
- leaving a very small amount (est. 250 mg) of Phalaris-soaked material. This
- sat around for several days - I had no real expectation that the mixture
- would be smokably psychoactive. (If it were, I'd have already heard about
- it, right?) Imagine my surprise when, in a very casual set and setting (the
- bedroom, early afternoon), I took one inhalation of this essense and found
- my mind immediately blasted into a cerebral hurricane of rapidly pulsing
- white light. Fortunately, I already knew what a DMT flash is like, so I
- was not totally taken by surprise. The following entries from my journal
- tell the unfolding story.
-
- Journal entry 10/1/93
-
- Yesterday afternoon I smoked a small portion of oregano which had
- been soaked in about 50 mg Phalaris grass extract dissolved in
- alcohol and allowed to evaporate. This was material that R. made
- to be used in combination with harmala extract as an ayahusca
- analog. The consequence was an extrmely powerful DMT trip - equal
- to my injected DMT experience last January at UNM, though I didn't
- see any entities this time.
-
- I can't help but think in terms of McKenna's "ingression of novelty
- into time." The implications are incendiary: a natural source of
- DMT, perhaps the most powerful hallucinogen on the planet, which
- can be grown in anyone's yard and extracted in their kitchen! DMT
- is on of the keys to the imaginal realm, but isn't for everyone.
- If it becomes commonly available there will be some serious
- incidents with people being unable to handle it - i.e., it is certain
- to get a lot of very vad press. Yet, it could be a catalyst for a
- quantum leap in human awareness - something our species, not to
- mention the planet, could use right now.

- ==================
-
-
- EXTRACTION -
-
- 1. Pulverize the grass cuttings as much as you can. You must
- do this to rupture the cellular structure the plant. A good
- way is to put the plant material in the freezer overnight,
- remove the next day, thaw it, put it in the freezer again, and
- then remove and thaw it again. After two or three such cycles
- it will usually be mushy and easily minced in a blender. Place
- the phalaris in the blender when it is frozed and the blender
- will chop it easier.
- 2. Next add enough water to the much to make a pourable soup.
- 3. Now you must add an acid. Just enough to bring the PH down to
- about 5. You can use white vinegar, lemon juice, or acetic acid.
- Check the PH with PH paper, it is usually sold at most drug
- stores. The acid reacts with the alkaloids in the plant
- material and converts them into a salt. A good way to
- facilitate this reaction is to simmer the acidified soup in a
- slow cooker overnight; leave the lid on, as we don't want any
- liquid to evaporate.
- 4. Strain the plant matter through cheesecloth, then through a
- paper coffee filter. The bulk roughage may now be discarded
- because the alkaloids we seek have migrated into the aqueous
- solution.
- 5. Add a small percentage of a defatting solvent such as methylene
- chloride, ether, chloroform, or naphtha. Naptha is easily
- available in the form of Coleman fuel or lighter fluid. The
- reason we do this procedure is to remove the oils and fats
- which are in the solution - they will migrate into the solvent.
- Shake up the mixture and put it aside long enough to seperate
- into two layers, one aqueous, the other solvent. If you've ever
- made vinegar and oil salad dressing then you've seen this done.
- 6. A separatory funnel is useful for this next operation. This is
- a simple lab tool consisting of a tapered glass container
- with a tap at the bottom and a stoppered opening at the top.
- The two liquids are poured in the top (the bottom faucet is
- closed, of course); The container is corked and shaken about
- to mix its contents. It is then set aside until the fluids
- seperate into 2 layers. Then a tap is opened to allow the lower
- stratum to drain into a container. Just before the descending
- upper fraction reaches the faucet, it is closed off. You can
- also do the above separation procedure with a turkey baster :)
- Discard the solvent (along with the unwanted oils and fats) and
- now the remaining aqueous solution contains the alkaloids.
- 7. The next step is to add a base to our solution. One often used
- in extraction formulas is ammonium hydroxide, a liquid. If this
- is unobtainable you can substitute regular lye crystals. This
- is sold as drain cleaner and is also called sodium hydroxide.
- Dissolve this is water to a high concentration. This fluid is
- added in small increments to the aqueous solution, shaking the
- mixture each time, then testing it until eventually the pH
- reaches 9 or 10. Be patient. It usually takes a while to
- get it just right. Now you have 'unhooked' the salt and
- transformed the alkaloids into their freebase form. They are
- now no longer a salt, and hence no longer soluble in water...
- So now the are accessable to extraction by one of the organic
- solvents mentioned above. Using coleman starting fuel is best
- and easy to obtain.
- 8. A ratio of 10 percent of the aqueous solution should be enough
- solvent for each extraction. The easiest way to estimate this
- is to visualize where the 10% line is on your container of
- aqueous solution, then add that amount of solvent to the whole,
- increasing the volume to 110% (A super accurate measurement is
- not necessary) The container must be kept closed tightly so
- that the solvent won't evaporate from the solution.
- 9. Four extractions are made to make SURE that all of the alkaloids
- are removed. These are done at one 24-hour, and then at three
- weekly intervals. The solvent layer will soon take on a darker
- tint, usually yellowish or reddish-brown. This indicates the
- presence of alkaloids as they slowly move out of the aqueous
- solution. It will take almost a month to get most of them, and
- the mixture should be shaken at least twice a day to ensure
- that all of the alkaloid molecules come into contact with the
- solvent. At each weekly extraction carefully separate this from
- the aqeous solution be either of the methods mentioned above.
- Save these solvent fractions and combine them in one container.
- each time add fresh solvent to the aqeous solution until the
- extraction series is complete.
- 10. The last step is to pour the combined solvent fractions into a
- shallow baking dish or pan and allow it all to evaporate in an
- open space free from flame or sparks. The residue remaining
- after the evaporation contains the alkaloids, and may be put
- into gelatin capsules. If it is unduly gummy, one may add
- small amounts of ordinary flour to the gum until it thickens.

-
- Ok, well that's about it for now. Remember to not smoke more than
- 25 mg your first time. You can gradually raise the dose over time
- as you become more experienced.
