It would make sense that it means some dmt has become oxidized, but dmt n-oxide is an oil, so unless it has become pure oil, then most of it must be intact, maybe just an outer layer is oxidized. (either way, just real analysis would tell for sure what it is)
I have smoked dmt that was years old and it was perfectly fine, I couldnt tell the difference between it and fresh dmt.
But yeah I think its important to consider what gilbran2 is saying too.. Is it possible you have used some solvent/chemicals that left some nasty reacting contaminants?
ok, good, that means at least that it should still be active. In my experience, the taste does change with the color. It becomes more bitter the more brown it gets. It's not a dark brown, just a yellow kind of brown. It doesn't taste like solvent, just bitter, and has a stronger smell. When the dmt is freshly made, and white, it doesn't taste bad. But then when it ages and turns color it develops a bitter taste. It's just stored at room temperature. I think I'll fumarate from now on.
