Looks like swim will be dreaming of 5meo first
He just hopes this is the right plant because it took a long time
(and 1 broken spade) to dig up about 200g's of rhizomes.

they definatly look like phragmite australis, swim once went on an adventure trying to get some
, well swim did found it , but the truth is extracting the spice from it, is kind of a "nut cracker", cuz your really not shore if you gonna get anything if anything at all, also there is the danger of "gramine"/or other dangerous kemikalz innit, innit?
i reckon if it was that easy to get it from phragmites , everyone on this forum should be concentrating in getting it rather than buying "mimosa" from growers.
i hope you can find a safe way of extracting it , and please enligth us with your new found knowledge
maybe you can makes us all free from expenses in the future
good luck

Look like australis, but you will not get anything from 200 g wet

Hi all!
Sorry for my English, I use a translator.

I have 4.5 kilograms of wet roots Phragmites australis (common reed).
Network few questions:

1) From this you can get DMT?
2) how many DMT contained in Phragmites australis in%?
3) in the roots only DMT?
4) have roots in dangerous alkaloids (gramin, etc.)?

I want to make extraction acetone. Please help board, as do better.
Beforehand thank you for your help!

1 - Reportedly, maybe you can tell us.
2 - See above.
3- That's what Ott says.
4 - I can't find anything that says yes or no for sure. It's not listed as containing gramine like donax and phalaris are though.

You're in fairly uncharted waters here and could add a lot to general knowledge of uncommon DMT sources.
My friend has never had success with an acetone extraction of DMT - what were you planning on doing?
Here's the procedure I would try:

Whatever you do, it looks like your biggest problem is going to be getting all that ground up. I'd either cook the hell out of it and use a heavy duty blender or run it through a garbage disposal.

Thanks Noman!
I studied the document. In my situation would do better extraction acetone (as described in the PDF document "DMT from Phragmites australis". Less complexity and easier to buy a reagent. But I plan to use 50% roots. Another 50% will leave at the A / B extraction.
Delighted to tell you about the results - positive or not.
Thank you for your support
