I recently did an a/b on 100g of bark, and decided to salt the dmt out of limo with hcl water. After evaporating the salting water, i noticed the dmt would not dry out and seemed to be very hygroscopic. Tried heating it and working it around to manually crystallize it but it was not working at all like it does with the fumarate. After doing some googling it seems to be that dmt hcl is very hygroscopic, and is very difficult to dry.
Is it even worth trying to dry it out? Has anyone had success getting dmt hcl to crystallize?
I taped a few silica desiccant packs on the side of the pyrex dish and sealed it with saran wrap, hopefully this will do the trick to get it dry, but if not is there any other way i could dry it out and get it to crystallize? Or am i better off freebasing it again and salting out with fumaric acid to get something less hygroscopic?
I was excited to try hcl because it will not leave any excess acid like fumaric will, but if its impossible to get dry, then whats the point?
And help would be appreciated.

In a society in which nearly everybody is dominated by somebody else's mind or by a disembodied mind, it becomes increasingly difficult to learn the truth about the activities of governments and corporations, about the quality or value of products, or about the health of one's own place and economy.
In such a society, also, our private economies will depend less upon the private ownership of real, usable property, and more upon property that is institutional and abstract, beyond individual control, such as money, insurance policies, certificates of deposit, stocks, etc. And as our private economies become more abstract, the mutual, free helps and pleasures of family and community life will be supplanted by a kind of displaced citizenship and by commerce with impersonal and self-interested suppliers...
The great enemy of freedom is the alignment of political power with wealth. This alignment destroys the commonwealth - that is, the natural wealth of localities and the local economies of household, neighborhood, and community - and so destroys democracy, of which the commonwealth is the foundation and practical means.” - Wendell Berry
