I find it no where near as terrifying as mushrooms. Even with a full breakthrough, you just don't have time to be afraid. You're either amazed or you are nothing at all to even have emotions. Certainly, in my experience, the fear is overhyped.

Perfect CEV is damn right. I've experienced no harshness in the white stuff though. Not sure what technique was used, but it looks nothing like the yellow crap, and more like freeze precip. I find it amazing how beautiful CEV can be on it, while OEV tends to be completely boring!

"OR xylene used instead of naptha in the non polar extraction, AND evaporating the solvent in the last step."

From what I've read, xylene might not work so well with freeze precip. Is this not true? I certainly wouldn't want to evaporate it.

This basified solution contains LYE which is extremely harsh to smoke. By doing this solvent wash after you have scrapped up the crystals you can virtually eliminate all of the lye in your final result as well as many other contaminants.

Once you have scrapped up your result from step 8 place it in a small glass container. In another container place a small amount of Naptha and run hot water over it. You want the naptha to be warm to the touch.

Once this is done add about 50 ml of naptha to the flask holding the crystals. If this is not enough to dissolve all of the crystals then add a little more. The goal here is to put just enough naptha into the flask to dissolve the DMT but not too much because you want it to evap quickly. Stir the flask by swirling it around. Do not place anything in the flask as you will disturb the sediment that should build up on the bottom. If the crystals do not want to dissolve then place the flask in a pot of hot water ( heat bath ). This will make the basified junk gummy and it will loose form and sink to the bottom adhering to the bottom of the flask.

Allow the flask to sit for one minute. Then pour off the naptha. Once you have gotten all of the naptha add about 10 ml more to the flask and swirl it around. This is to make sure you have gotten all of the spice. You can then add this 10 ml to the other 50 ml making sure that no sediment from the bottom makes it over. If you feel you still may have DMT in the flask by all means add more naptha and attempt to dissolve it. There's no rule to how many times you can add naptha the sediment after being in the heat bath should be stuck to the bottom quite well. So use as much naptha as you feel is neccissary.

You can now evap off the naptha and re collect your crystals. They should be much cleaner and show a more defined crystaline structure.

If there is still junk you can do a second wash. You should loose very little DMT on each wash so do as many as you need to get a good final result.

I would highly recommend trying that, you don't want to burn your throat   meth/oil pipes are hard to come by for most of us so I still think you got a deal.  I prefer smoking D in a 'sandwich' of damiana/mugwort/cannabis in a regular bowl.  The experience itself has never freaked me out, I find the entities to be some good folk, just introduce yourself and tell them why you're here.  There's a short TR (four winds) in my journal.

I know.  You're post was loaded with good info I was replying and just trying to give Mushy_face a good procedure to follow.

I have not heard of the baking soda/epsom/heptane methods, interesting.  I find using naptha to defat and evaporate and just being careful separating your layers with a funnel to provide good product that I'm happy with and havn't felt the need to improve on it, yet.
