SWIM has crystallized DMT in acetone before. It works, but not as well as heptane. Sometimes crystals don't form in acetone, especially if a fan is used because it evaporates too fast for crystals to form. When crystallizing with acetone don’t use a fan or any heat.
You can probably crystallize DMT citrate better in acetone than freebase DMT.
Acetone dissolves a lot of non-polar stuff: oils and fats, freebase alkaloids, etc. But it also dissolves some polar stuff too. But it is very selective in what it dissolves at both ends.
Acetone can dissolve freebase bufotenine which is slightly non-polar. It can also dissolve citric acid which is very polar. If you dissolve freebase bufotenine in acetone and add citric acid, it precipitates bufotenine citrate which is also very polar. Acetone is unusual in this way. This same trick also works for some other alkaloids, but it doesn’t work for DMT. Freebase DMT and DMT citrate are both soluble in acetone.
You may remember me as 69Ron. I was suspended years ago for selling bunk products under false pretenses. I try to sneak back from time to time under different names, but unfortunately, the moderators of the DMT-Nexus are infinitely smarter than I am.
If you see me at the waterpark, please say hello. I'll be the delusional 50 something in the American flag Speedo, oiling up his monster guns while responding to imaginary requests for selfies from invisible teenage girls.
