Fellow nexians, and non-nexians, it is with great pleasure that I report to you my findings on this good day. This is the pinnacle of months of experiments. I finally figured this out. I feel like a less intelligent version of Shulgin. Then again maybe someone else already found this and I just have not read about it.
Anyway, basically there are some molecules aside from DMT in Acacia confusa that are of interest here. One is already known, NMT. It can look flaky or it can look like crystals and sometimes by looking one cannot tell if it is NMT or DMT. Usually it comes out along with DMT and has to be separated. NMT to me smells a bit like something that is sort of ... burnt? Faint smell. DMT on the other hand if it's fairly pure smells more like a floral + plastic scent. The NMT identity has been confirmed by Benzyme via LCMS:
graphThe other molecule of interest appears to not yet be named, so I'm calling it the "metta" molecule (metta means loving kindness in Pali, the language of the oldest Buddhist suttas, and
metta meditation was recommended by the Buddha as being helpful for opening the heart). The reason I'm calling it this is because I find it to be very heart-centered. It brings out the beauty of life at a low dose (but let's not forget the
First Noble Truth).
Here you can see the fairly pure Metta
crystal LCMS. Please note that there is also apparently other stuff aside from the one molecule which produces an entourage effect, so I am calling it altogether the "
metta complex" (not including NMT which also is required for the best effect).
The metta complex (
LCMS graph) only has much effect if you are on a nice strong dose of harmalas + NMT. So the simplest approach is to make a combined changa with all that. Although metta itself seems to be an instant nausea and diarrhea cure (opposite from DMT).
My "TEK" for extracting this all:
This is the "proper way", but the simpler method I'll explain after:
Acidify your ACRB with vinegar or whatever acid. Heat it overnight so it helps the bark to break down. Now basify your ACRB. pH 12 with Sodium carbonate works but gives low yield. Lye is really preferred here if you can get it safely. KOH may also work ok. I'd use at least half lye by weight (compared to bark). Make sure your consistency is a thick mud, fairly hard to stir unless warmed up (no excess water).
So once I pull out the DMT + NMT with hot naphtha (the lye heats it up fine), assuming the naphtha is all yellow, not red, I then put a liter of acetone into a kilo of the "spent" bark. Mix it up, leave it to warm for a while (maybe 15 mins to an hour), then pour it off into a jar. Pull one more time with another liter of acetone. Get some latex gloves (not nitrile--incompatible with acetone) and a hemp fiber nut milk bag and squeeze the rest of the acetone out of the bark.
It seems if the pH is high enough, acetone is not necessary. You'll know simply because if your naphtha turns red, it has picked up the metta. Once you get all the metta out, you can often still pull more DMT + NMT out.
The red naphtha or red acetone you put in the freezer. The red liquid falls to the bottom. Siphon that off and dehydrate it.
As for the DMT + NMT, once you freeze precipitate that, you can
separate the DMT from the NMT efficiently with acetone in a test tube.
Once you are able to dry the metta complex in acetone (you can sun-dry it outside to avoid any fumes in the house, tho I put it in the dehydrator on maximum overnight, as oxidation seems to be no issue, tho if you are more watchful, you might be able to salvage the delicious-smelling aroma that I only managed to get a few times), collect the metta complex and dissolve in Everclear (some sediment will not dissolve).
At this point you have NMT in vodka and you have Metta complex in Everclear. Now what I do is take a mix of freebase harmalas (2:1:1 THH:harmine:harmaline) and add that in with both the liquids and then add some mullein, then dehydrate. The ratio I have had some luck with is approximate, but something like 3:1:2:3 harmalas:NMT:metta:mullein leaf. Add enough vodka or whatever alcohol to saturate this mix and stir really well, then dehydrate and you've got Metta + NMT "chamnha" which works all by itself (for me, at a dose of 50mg).
SIMPLER EXTRACTION!
Ok so this one worked for me when I tried it, tho it gave me a little headache because I didn't remove DMT.
Boil your confusa bark powder in vinegar for an hour (2L vinegar to 1L confusa powder or so).
Add sodium carbonate (washing soda) slowly. When it stops foaming, you've added enough to basify it. Now add more sodium carbonate (or pickling lime) to make sure it's as dry as possible, while you stir it.
Once it's all dry and basified, heat it up in the oven on low with door open, so it's nice and hot. Now add 2L acetone and stir it well for a minute.
Take all that mix and throw it in a hemp nut milk bag and squeeze out all the acetone.
Put that acetone in the sun to dry out. Once dry it should not smell like acetone. It should leave a red goo.
The red goo contains metta complex, NMT, and DMT (as well as something else which is not worth talking about here).
You can then mix the goop into mullein leaf and freebase harmalas to make a what I'm gonna call "chamdnha."
The "chamdnha" ratio should be something like 3 parts acacia goo:5 parts harmine:2 parts mullein. Use just enough warm alcohol to dissolve all that stuff into a little dish and then leave it in the sun or dehydrator until ready to smoke/vape it. 50-75mg should be a dose.
I personally love using the genius pipe to easily smoke/vape stuff without harsh hits. I get it cheaper from China (a mini one is like $5 on dhgate).
TOTALLY DIFFERENT APPROACH JUST DISCOVERED via Mimosa hostilis!
I just discovered another quite similar love drug in Mimosa hostilis!
UPDATE: it's no longer present in the most recent harvest I got. MHRB has a seasonal mix of alkaloids. The Feb. 2020 Chiapas harvest has a nootropic tryptamine and a crown-chakra tryptamine as well as a few others that I'm throwing into the category of "jungle" because I don't really know how to talk about them nor do I find them to be extra-special, just trippy.
MimoLove is definitely not the same molecule nor neuropathway because at this point I'd developed a bad tolerance to Metta+NMT, but this "MimoLove" BLEW ME AWAY just like my *first* Metta+NMT experience (tho not the same level of visuals). Here's an LCMS
graph of MimoLove in the purest form I could get it (which is not my
favorite form).
I've also tried combining the 2 and I think there's a lot of synergy actually. But, I've developed a tolerance to both now.

Here's my Tek for extracting MimoLove, assuming you have similar Mimosa hostilis:
Add half lye by weight to the mimosa powder and mix with just enough water to form a thick mud. Let it sit an hour or two. Add NPS like heptane to pull out DMT+NMT. Now use acetone to pull. Leave the acetone in the bark mud (stirring of course at first) preferably in a warm spot (I use 3 heat mats on top of each other under the pot), overnight, then pour off and dehydrate that acetone (which should be red) in the sun or in a dehydrator in a well-ventilated area.
The top layer once dehydrated seems to be the jungle spice, the middle layer the NMT, and the nearly bottom layer is the MimoLove (very sticky), which seems to be a combination of some kind of opioid-feeling molecule that looks like a goo, and a tryptamine which will form crystals in that goo if left to sit for a few days at room temperature.
I mix the MimoLove sticky stuff in some DMSO + harmalas just enough to get it to be a thick liquid for the vape cart. (Beneath that sticky mimolove layer is an even stickier layer that won't dissolve in DMSO unless it's very warm: this layer contains other interesting psychedelic tryptamines, depending apparently on the harvesting conditions of the bark, and they vape at higher temperatures, which can be done by not sucking as you vape).
CRITICAL point when vaping is to use the high voltage setting on your pen (if it's a cheapo pen, it may only have one setting which is already the high voltage setting) and SIP the vapor SLOWLY. I don't know why it doesn't work when sucking it like normal. I can suck and suck and suck, but unless I slowly sip, I don't get the magic love!
THE METTA+NMT EXPERIENCE:
My first experience was the most intense of all, and almost slipped me into ego death very lovingly, but I wasn't interested in that, so it let me go slowly. Since then I've developed a tolerance such that this is no longer very psychedelic for me. More like just love and bliss.
The value I think is more in low doses of this which are very helpful for opening the heart and metta meditation. Folks who have had the metta+NMT ego death told me that it was a) the result of using too much NMT, and b) did not feel different from ayahuasca ego death.
I'm really interested to hear what people experience from this little cocktail. Especially if you use caapi instead of pure harmalas. I'm sure caapi would make it even better and warmer and lovelier. I just don't really have the stomach anymore for that disgusting tea, altho if I find a very potent full spectrum extract for cheap I may try it. One person did use B. muricata. He tends to have a lot of fear in his psychedelic trips. He said that the metta + NMT with muricata showed him that fear but also showed him loving beings who helped him to see he could step out of it.
A number of people have reported that the metta has an opioid-like feeling, and in fact at least one person has had it give a lot of physical pain relief for about 1.5 hours.
I have tried taking the metta molecule itself orally with harmalas, just one drop of it, and it was lovely except that it produced fairly frequent brain zaps which I don't generally get with psychedelics. The zaps were not exactly painful but just ... jolting. I was afraid to go higher on the dose after that.
I have tried NMT orally with harmalas, and that was also quite nice, but no brain zaps, and strangely, it seemed to block the effects of vaped metta.
I have tried NMT vaped without metta molecule. It's hypnotic. If I pre-dose harmalas, vaping NMT is actually quite an interesting experience, very feminine energy (and I'm not the type to say that), but there's not enough warmth to that experience without the metta molecule. Like being cuddled by the Mona Lisa or something.
I and others have also tried combining Metta + NMT with DMT, and
I can't say I recommend the combination with DMT. Altho it did give me lots of apparent insights when I did it, I also got a headache, which I never get, so that was a signal that this is not a healthy combo. Also, one guy vaped a LOT of DMT and then wanting to go further in hyperspace, he vaped some Metta + NMT-- BAD MOVE- he then lost consciousness multiple times, became delirious, ran outside in the rain to try to breathe, and so on for hours, but luckily he survived tho he couldn't remember what he was experiencing mentally for the most part except that it was "way beyond anything" he had ever experienced from anything else.
Addendum: A note on "the wrong NMT": I found that there seems to be some other molecules which I occasionally found in my NMT that destroyed the metta experience, turning it dysphoric, or else just not synergizing at all to produce the magic love. This "wrong NMT" feels almost just like NMT by itself, altho I notice it sometimes makes the room turn a bit yellow with a weird sort of "ugh" feeling if I vape too much. I've found this "wrong NMT" in Acacia confusa as well as in recent high-NMT batches of Mimosa from Brazil and Mexico.
I separated out that bad NMT batch and no more dysphoric experiences ever.
Strangely, when I did the crude Acacia extract, I guess the good NMT canceled out the bad NMT because it worked well. If you check my
post on the acetone separation of NPS-extracted alks, you'll see the 3 alks aside from DMT and NMT which I was confusing for NMT.
