Hello lads. I dont have any exotic plant in my country so I used common reed as my source for dmt. I tried STB guide from youtube and chemicals i used are - Ca(OH)2 for base and Lamp Oil as a solvent. I mixed the grounded root with water , then with calcium hydroxide. Then i left it for about 30minutes and i added my solvent. I shaked several times the jar and after about 2 hours tried to pull the solvent out with syringe. Then i froze it but i either get no crystals or crystals dissolve when i pour out the solvent. Could someone say any advices ? It would be really great. Thank you

so, you are not using Phalaris species but Phragmites? and root? I looked it up and known use in chineese medicine related to airways but I don't think it contains DMT to start with.
You can only extract what is in it .

Pretty sure there must be some Phalaris where you are,check the Phalaris Identification thread


EDIT
apparently it does,guess I learn something new every day,but contains gramine

Try back-extracting from the lamp oil into vinegar. Evaporate this to a paste and add sodium carbonate. Allow to dry, then pull with alcohol (ethyl or isopropyl) or acetone. Evaporate to a goo.

Active work has been carried out recently by some Nexians to establish the optimal parts and conditions for extracting magic from common reeds.


If you want to try a stronger base for the initial extraction from the plant material, mix molar equivalents of lime and washing soda in distilled water. This reacts to produce caustic soda and chalk.
