DMT STB Dry Tek

Would this work?

Mix powdered bark and equal amount of NAOH with small amount of water creating a paste to basify. Dry to powder.

Mix powder into hot Naptha and reflux for 20 minutes.

Pour though filter, collect naptha and precipitate, evaporate etc.

My line of reasoning here is that it's easier to dissolve DMT freebase into naptha than pull out of 10 times the volume of water.

What am I missing here if anything? Anyone try this?

You're going to get a reqlly messy product. Don't cut corners with deems. Acidify, defat, base, liquid liquid, precip recrystalize. Respect what you're doing and do it right or don't do it at all!

So, by this logic I should be making my hash oil by mixing my weed with 20X water and shaking it with a small volume of Hexane.

Acidification and defatting is not necessary with powder. In the case of powder STB seems to give better yeilds. I'm sure whoever came up with STB was told it woldn't work also.

Maybe it will create an emulsion. Maybe it will make goo. Maybe it will double the yeild.

If we didn't take chances and occasionaly fuck up our drugs people would still be setting themselves on fire making freebase cocaine with ether instead of safely with baking soda and a microwave.

STB yields a different extract but still has a sound basis. This just sounds like the makings of a mess. Is it really that hard to filter your base washed bark?
Is this just to get around the process of getting a sep funnel?

Didn't make a mess. Was able to pour off 80% of the naptha because it separates easily. It had a whitish color to it. Maybe suspended lye? Maybe ultra pure DMT. Won't know till I do some more work.

After that I added more water and a bit of naptha. The layer turned dark like there is lots of dmt in there.

So this suggests that next time...

Mix small amount of water with bark and lye generating heat. Add naptha to heat the naptha up and expose to concentrated dmt. Agitate and wait. Add more warm water to help dissolve lye. Agitate and wait.

I have done both AB and STB and I have seen no difference in the product. I don't think they generate a different extract, just DMT freebase. I think the reason for AB is more breaking down bark that isn't finely powdered.

I have a separation funnel. I have found that it is easier to just pull off the top layer with a syringe until you are doing the very last pull and want to get all the naptha out. Running a gallon of caustic sludge through a funnel takes too long and it tends to clog up requiring filtering and more fucking around.

And yes having a jar of hot naptha and caustic solution probably not the safest thing. Anyway, the proof is in the precipitate. I'm doing this side by side with a STB to compare yeilds.

I would do a water wash of the final product in case any lye made it through the filter.

Hey kervork is this with confusia? im doing a side by side right now too with a/b and stb to see which works better for me. so far its looking like a/b for a cleaner product but im not finished with all my pulls yet. i havent decided which route is better, just really missing the mimosa at this point, i should have abused it more than i did while i could, but im sure a lot of us feel that way.

I think confusa has to be defatted. I'm guessing confusa wants an A/B but I don't know. STB and AB both produce equally clean products in my experience. It's tecnique more than anything.

so far my stb is yielding lots of yellow oil, its looking like ab is probably best but i havent finished yet, im not really in a rush with it
