Amor fati's Approach to Freebase Spice Conversion

Note:

This page tracks the development of amor_fati's Approach to Freebase Conversion of DMT. The content is to remain accurate as such.

Though relatively simple, the conversion of DMT fumarate to freebase tends to pose some difficulties for achieving a pure and well crystallized product. Decanting from material containing magnesium sulfate powder will often carry particulates that are not easily filtered. Evaporation can take an excessively long time to achieve a solid product and often doesn't result in a very solid product.

Drytek Conversion of Full-Range Fumarate Extract of Jurema to Freebase w/ Hasty Manual Crystallization

Materials Required Source Material: Anhydrous Salted Extract of Jurema Solvents: d-H2O Anhydrous Acetone Reagents/Desiccants: Sodium Carbonate Anhydrous Magnesium Sulfate Equipment: Razor Blade Lab Spatula any similar tool will work Dropper Evaporation Dish Reacting Vessel Collection Vessel Transfer Vessel Cotton Balls Small HDPE Bottle Mix DMT fumarate with an equal amount of sodium carbonate and moisten thoroughly. Allot adequate time and stirring for complete reaction. Mix in anhydrous magnesium sulfate until material is thoroughly dry. Prepare a small THP by cutting the bottom off a small HDPE bottle, stuffing cotton balls in the neck, inverting it and suspending it over a glass receiving vessel. Empty the material into THP and pour anhydrous acetone through the material into the collection vessel. If particulates leak through the filter, pour the acetone back into THP and repeat until no more leakage occurs and until satisfied with the level of saturation as indicated by the color of the solution. Pour acetone into an evaporation dish Continue to pull with acetone until material is apparently exhausted as indicated by a lack of coloration. the material can be left in THP and stored as such to be reused without removing the old material or filter. Evaporate acetone in a food dehydrator below 100F until sparse droplets of liquid remain. evaporation and crystallization can be accomplished simply by leaving the dish in a dry area for a few days, foregoing this step and those following. adding a small amount of acetone and even heptane when the liquid has reduced to a small puddle may hasten the evaporation process Use a razor blade to spread the oily product across the dish in cross-hatched fashion, applying firm pressure while doing so. adding minute amounts of acetone drop-wise may hasten the process. When the oil thickens to a pasty consistency, use a lab spatula repeatedly scrape up and and spread out the product until it thickens noticeably more. Spread the product thinly across the dish and allow to harden to a clay-like consistency.
