So iv done extracts of cactus and kratom. This will be my first with mhrb. With so many options to choose from, I was looking for a little help pointing me in the right directions to go with the materials i have. I have got xylene, naptha, lye, lime, vinegar, and hcl. Just looking for some direction any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

A STB is definitely the easiest for starters imo... This link is pictorial I used for my first extraction. It worked like a charm.

An A/B is the next runner up and will typically pull prettier, whiter spice. Yields are comparable to a STB unless you want the funky jungle that the xylene affords and then the STB comes out on top.

There are plenty of other teks, but the link I gave is a good start.

Good luck and be safe!

Looks good. I was thinking something along those lines. So you get good yeilds with out doing a cook first. Should be starting in a few days shipment enroute.

A Straight to Base tek worked wonders for SWIM, so she seconds that recommendation. Try to understand the chemistry as thoroughly as you can before beginning.
Also of great interest and in need of more trys is this water and a bit of lye tek - if this is reliable it is the future!:

best, L

i'v got a basic of how the process works. Changing the molecule to salt or freebase depending of what solvent you want it dissolved in non-polar for freebase and polar for salt. I get a little lost when the chemists start talking of moles. Havent heard that term since high school chemistry, which was awhile ago. I've done several cactus extraction food-safe version and xylene version. And one on kratom.

I'm very excited about my new project. Never done dmt, I hadn't even heard of it until a few years ago. Been doing alot of research on it.
