Well ive heard from many trip reports that vaporized bufotenine was very visual with little to no nausea there must be something in the seeds that causes these feelings, because clean freebase bufotenine is apparently very visual when vaporized. And i dont expect it to be like DMT at all, i am just looking for a new experience. Is there anyone with positive bufotenine experiences? People who took the time to run an extraction?

Have you had a chance to give these a go yet...SWIM recently got some of these seeds and has tried the classic method of preparing the snuff (toast, peel, add 10% pickling lime, knead a watery paste, sit for a few hours, dry then smash) but did not have the nerve to snuff it as he has had sinus issues for many years and sniffing anything gives the equivalent of a brutal winter cold for about a week....so they were smoked.

First time the group tried about a 1/3 each, smoke went down easy, but effects were hardly noticeable.  That was repeated about 3 times with 10 min between each one, eventually giving up and reaching for the changa lol. The consensus was: more needs to be done at a time.

Next time 2 swimmers tried 1 full seed (prepared as explained above) and still no negative side effects (thanks no doubt to the proper prep) but the characteristic pressure around the neck/shoulder region was there and not super comfortable but it was fine and went away in about 5 min. Was left with mostly a warm tryptamine glow, like a changa or spice afterglow but without the peak. The consensus this time: smoke more, or better yet, extract the main ingredient

Now swim used RebBarons tek to do an extraction of the freebase alkaloids (will post at the end), and came up with some superfine amber colored crystals, the group has not had the pleasure of fully experiencing these yet but will report back when they do.


RebBaron's Cebil / Bufotenine Extraction

Here’s what’s needed:

* Acetone: available at most hardware stores. This solvent is actually present in the human body in small amounts. It’s best to use distilled acetone that you distilled yourself if you’re at all worried about contaminants. KleanStrip acetone is pure acetone and 100.0 % volatile according to their MSDS, so there will be no residue left behind after evaporating it. SWIM uses this brand, always distills it, and never finds any left over residue. It seems to be very clean.

* Pickling Lime: available at some grocery stores. It’s used to make pickles crispier. It’s not as poisonous or dangerous as the sodium hydroxide commonly used to extract DMT. Pickling lime is edible but only if greatly diluted.....you can substitute sodium carbonate for this if hard to find

* Citric acid: available as “sour salt” in some grocery stores. It’s often used in canning. It’s available from many health food or vitamin shops. This is found naturally in fruit.

* Filtering system: coffee filters aren’t that good but will work. For best filtering results it’s better to use a lab filtering system (glass micro-fiber filters, a vacuum pump, and a filtering flask, Buchner funnel, etc.)

Note..if you scale the recipe down, still make the same amount of citric acid saturated acetone

Here's the extraction steps:

1) Prepare citric acid solution by adding 1 gram of citric acid to 10 ml of acetone. We’ll use it later so put this aside, go onto step 2, but mix the citric acid solution occasionally. It will eventually all dissolve after about an hour or so.

2) Mix 100 grams of crushed Anadenanthera seeds (either peregrina or colubrina works) with and equal volume of pickling lime (calcium hydroxide) and add enough water to form a paste. Let it sit for about 1 hour, mixing it a few times. Dry it completely in an oven at 150 F.

3) Break apart the dried materal. Add 500 ml of acetone. Mix for about 5 minutes. Let the dry material settle to the bottom. The acetone should be reddish amber in color. Pour the acetone through a good quality filter.

4) Add 10 ml of citric acid solution (from step 1) to the filtered acetone and mix. Tiny crystals will form which look like yellow dust. Let the crystals settle to the bottom. Poor off the acetone, being careful not to pour off the crystals. Discard the acetone. Wash the crystals by adding 100 ml of fresh acetone, mix, let the crystals settle, and then carefully pour off the acetone and discard it (EDIT: you might want to let the acetone evaporate down to about 50 ml before discarding, as more precipitates might form. Keep in mind that a small amount of the alkaloids won’t precipitate out of the acetone. A small portion of this contains the tiny amount of DMT present in the seeds. If you save the acetone, you could extract the last bit of alkaloids using an A/B extraction, but It’s not really worth the trouble). Let all the acetone evaporate off the crystals. They’ll start absorbing water from the air and become dark brown goo once all the acetone has evaporated.

5) Mix the crystal goo with an equal volume of pickling lime. Add enough water to form a thin watery paste. Let it sit for about 1 hour while mixing a few times. Dry in an oven at 150 F.

6) Break apart the dried material. Dissolve in 100 ml acetone for about 5 minutes, mixing a few times. Filter off the pickling time. Evaporate the acetone leaving behind 5-HO-DMT freebase as a single solid mass of amber micro-crystals (and a few other active freebase alkaloids). It looks like amber candy, not crystals. It’s very difficult to form large crystals, so don’t bother. Just scrape it up and store in an air tight container away from light.

You can repeat steps 3-6 with the same seed mix up to 4 more times to recover nearly all the alkaloids if you like, but since the seeds are so cheap, it’s probably not worth the effort.
