Hi guys, this will be SWIMs first post about a tek which SWIM has found to be successful (with a fair bit of trail and error). One of the issues SWIM has noticed when working with raw plant materials is simply the sheer volume of materials used for a such a small amount of final product. SWIM believes he has found a simple solution to this problem which will reduce the amount of raw materials needed and make the process much easier over all. As we know in an A/B tek we normally do several acid washes, so SWIMs idea is to simply reduce the liquid collected in the acid washes to a resin or paste and use this material for the extraction, or even more simply purchase some resin/paste to begin with. This seems pretty obvious but it will save cost on materials and make handling the process much easier, this should work especially well for MHRB as powdering and handling larger amounts can be difficult.

Another small note with this tek is that if you are using Chaliponga, in theory one could collect both DMT and other actives (if it does contain 5meo-DMT or other actives), SWIM is not arguing that these are present in Chaliponga, however one may be able to (to some degree) in theory separate 5meo or other actives, as a weaker base such as Sodium Carbonate will not allow as much DMT to be soluble in Naphta but should allow one to pull other potential actives.

Materials:
- MHRB or Chaliponga Resin or raw plant material
- White Distilled Vinegar
- Sodium Carbonate
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Petroleum Naphta
- ISO or Ethyl Alcohol

ACID WASH/REDUCTION:

If you have raw plant material:

- Boil Plant material in Vinegar/Water
- Filter/Collect liquid to remove sediment
- Repeat until the liquid beings to look clear.
- Leave in fridge to Decant overnight
- Reduce to a minimal amount of liquid (make sure not to burn while reducing)
- Dry the liquid with a dehydrator or hot water bath or other method (do not over heat as this may kill actives)

If you have Resin/Paste:

- Boil in a small amount Vinegar/Water
- Reduce
- Repeat 3x (once may be enough)
- Reduce until completely dry (again, do not overheat or burn)
- Once dry, powder material

(This step may not be necessary? Nay help with the Defat step?)

DEFAT:

- Lightly Heat Naphta in warm water bath, be careful not to evaporate (NOT OVER DIRECT HEAT SOURCE OR FLAME)
- Add powder to Naphta to and stir over warm water bath
- Pour off Naptha
- Repeat until Naphta looks clear
- Let powder sit over warm water bath to remove excess Naptha

Sodium Carbonate Basification:

(Skip to Sodium Hydroxide Basification if using MHRB)

- Re-Powder material if necessary
- Add a 1:1 ratio of Sodium Carbonate to the powder
- Mix thoroughly
- Add a small amount of water and mix
- Leave to dry

ISO/Ethyl Alcohol Pull:

- Powder dried/basified material
- Heat Iso/Ethyl Alcohol over hot water bath
- Add powder to Iso/Ethyl Alcohol and stir over hot water bath
- Pour off and filter/collect Iso/Ethyl Alcohol
- Repeat until Iso/Ethyl Alcohol looks clear
- Evaporate collected Iso/Ethyl Alcohol to recover yellow/waxy goo

(SWIM has not tested yellow goo but will post if effects seems noticeably different from regular DMT)

Sodium Hydroxide Basification:

- Re-Powder material if necessary
- Add a small amount of water to the powder
- Mix thoroughly
- Add Sodium Hydroxide until no more will dissolve
- Leave to dry

Naphta Pull:

- Lightly Heat Naphta in warm water bath, be careful not to evaporate (NOT OVER DIRECT HEAT SOURCE OR FLAME)
- Add powder to Naphta to and stir over warm water bath
- Pour off and filter/collect Naphta
- Repeat until Naphta looks clear
- Freeze Precipitate

If Sodium Carbonate and ISO/Ethyl Alcohol step were performed:

- Lightly Heat Naphta in warm water bath, be careful not to evaporate (NOT OVER DIRECT HEAT SOURCE OR FLAME)
- Add to yellow goo/wax stir until it dissolves
- Add to the earlier Naphta pulls
- Freeze Precipitate

Again, SWIM is not arguing that Chaliponga contains actives other than DMT and it yet to test the yellow goo mentioned from the Sodium Carbonate and ISO pull, SWIM is aware this goo will contain regular DMT but in theory if there were other actives from the Sodium Carbonate and ISO pull, the yellow goo should contain less regular DMT and more other actives, as DMT will not be very soluble when basified with Sodium Carbonate. If you're convinced Chaliponga contains no other actives, you can simply skip the Sodium Carbonate and ISO pull and do the Sodium Hydroxide and Naphta pull after Defatting. If using MHRB this tek would still be worthwhile as long as you can spare the extra effort of reducing the liquid from the acid washes as you would save on the cost of Naptha and Sodium Hydroxide, and would avoid having to deal with large amounts of plant/chemical materials and emulsions with MHRB.

I hope this was posted in the right place as SWIM couldn't figure out the best place to post Teks...

I thought I'd post this as I had a hard time finding a clear Tek for Chaliponga specifically.

Thanks, looking forward to hearing your input.
