How to Make DMT

DMT, also known as N-dimethyltryptamine, is a powerful hallucinogenic tryptamine drug, and one that provides a strong psychedelic trip. The side-effects of DMT have been likened to other psychedelic substances, such as LSD and magic mushrooms. DMT is becoming one of the most popular illegal substances on the planet, and this is due in no small part to the effects it has and the buzz it can give people. 

As such, there has been a clamour in the marketplace for ways to be able to consume DMT by being able to experience the highs but reduce the risks associated with it. One day this might happen, and people are trying to make their own DMT in order to test out different dosages. Here is a short guide for how to make DMT at home. 

Ingredients

Mimosa Hostilis Root Bark (MHRB)

Water 

Pickling lime

Naphtha 

5% distilled white vinegar

Equipment

1 x large metal mixing bowl

2 x sealable glass jars

1 x water boiler

1 x chopsticks (wooden or metal)

3 x medium glass bowls

Latex gloves

Medical mask

Freezer

Well-ventilated space

Steps

Convert your MHRB into a fine powder. There are different types of MHRB available to buy, and it’s important to choose something that is high quality in order to get the best possible outcome. 

Acidification process is next, where you add the white vinegar to the MHRB powder and stir until the powder is clumpy and wet. The measurements should be around 1ml of vinegar to equal 1mg of powder. Next up you should look to add the almost boiled, distilled water to the mix and stir until it is thoroughly mixed together. Then you’ll want to leave the mix for around 20-40 minutes.

Next up we’ve got the basification process, which is when you will add the calcium hydroxide (pickling lime) to the MHRB mix. Aim for around 3 grams of lime to 4 grams of MHRB, and then leave for a minimum of 1 hour, stirring intermittently. 

The non-polar wash step follows next, with the first naphtha pull determining the yield you are likely to get. If the first happens after 1 hour, you’re looking at a 10%-30% yield. If the first pull happens after 6-8 hours, you’re looking at a 30%-60% yield. Worth keeping in mind when you are preparing for this part of the process. Typically around 4 pills will be needed to extract5 around 90% of the DMT from the MHRB. You can use new naphtha for each pull if you feel it’s easier, or you can reuse at a later point in the process.

Next you need to add water that is close to boiling to the large mixing bowl. There should be enough space so that when the MHRB is added in the smaller bowl, the water line sits just about the MHRB line of the smaller bowl. You can then add the naphtha to the MHRB mixture, around 1.5ml of naphtha to 1 gram of MHRB. Then you are going to stir the mixture periodically over the next 10 minutes. 

Once your 10 minutes are up you are removing the smaller bowl with the MHRB mix in it from the larger bowl. Wipe any condensation off the exterior, and pour the mixture into a clean bowl ready for the next step in the process. You’re almost done now, and the next part is something of a waiting game to begin with. 

Okay, so once you’ve added the mixture to the new bowl, you’re now going to take that bowl and put it into the freezer. This is where the waiting game comes into play, as you need to now leave the bowl for 24-48 hours, depending on how long you want to wait for the process to be done. 

During its time in the freezer, the DMT particles will begin to precipitate out of the naphtha and the sediment collected will form the DMT crystals. When you are happy with the amount of crystals you have, it’s time to pour off the excess naphtha. This is why you may want to leave the bowl in the freezer longer in order to get some more crystals out of it. You could also take the new naphtha, add it to a clean glass bowl, and refreeze it, repeating an earlier step.

Let the naphtha evaporate off the crystals for at least 30-40 minutes, possibly even longer. Once this has been done you should be looking to gather up the crystals as well as you can, and store them in a cool, dark place, and you are all done!

Dosing

Now, one of the key things you need to think about when it comes to DMT is dosing. The idea is to enjoy the good side-effects, but to also reduce the risk of negative side-effects. The problem is that this is sometimes easier said than done, and you have to make sure you focus on trying to choose the right dose. This is particularly useful when looking at DMT vape tips, and when it comes to this, typically doses of around 25mg and below produce only very mild psychoactive effects. 

Getting the dosage right is something you will need to research and look into when it comes to the crystal form of DMT as well. But once you get proficient at making it yourself, it will become much easier to be able to come up with the right kind of dosage and make sure things are as safe as they can be.
