A curated collection of step-by-step extraction guides. Interactive, categorized, and built for precision.
If you're new to DMT extraction, start by understanding the molecule itself — what it is, how it works in the brain, and what to expect. Then pick one of the beginner-friendly teks below. Each is chosen for its simplicity, low equipment requirements, and reliable yields.
Tip: Read the About DMT page first, then come back and pick a tek. Take your time — preparation is everything.
Acid-to-Base and Straight-to-Base hybrid extraction teks. These methods combine acid pre-treatment with base conversion for high yields from Mimosa Hostilis and other DMT-containing plants.
by Cyb
A hybridized ATB tek designed for small amounts of MHRB. Beginner-friendly, high-yielding, and uses easy-to-source materials.
by PanoraMIX
A simple, high-yield A/B tek for European extractors who don't have access to D-limonene. Uses naphtha with a long vinegar soak for excellent results.
by usweyoume
An advanced A/B tek using D-limonene as a non-toxic non-polar solvent, with FASI (Fumaric Acid Saturated IPA) for salt conversion. Designed for large batches with high yields.
by SyZyGyPSy
A simple STB tek using D-limonene and vinegar — no petroleum solvents required. Pulls a full-spectrum extract including N,N-DMT and jungle spice. Ideal for oral use with a MAOI.
Straight-To-Base extraction teks. These methods skip the acid pre-treatment step entirely, going directly to basification with NaOH and non-polar solvent pulls. Simpler, faster, and beginner-friendly.
by Jorkest
A STB tek using D-limonene to pull alkaloids, then FASW (Fumaric Acid Saturated Water) to crash out solid DMT fumarate — no freezer precipitation needed. Converts to freebase via sodium carbonate and MEK/acetone.
by Vortex
The simplest possible STB extraction. No acid, no pH meter, no separatory funnel — just lye, water, naphtha, and a potato masher. Works with whole broken bark. Documented yields of 7.5g from 1lb of bark over 48 hours.
by Noman
The classic, widely-referenced STB tek. Powdered bark in NaOH water, naphtha pulls, freeze precipitation. Designed to be doable for the average person in an average kitchen in an evening.
by Dream Weaver
Straight-To-Changa (STC) — a STB extraction where herbs are frozen directly in the DMT-saturated naphtha, infusing them in one step. Also produces crystal DMT if preferred. Includes changa herb blend recipes.
Classic Acid-to-Base extraction teks. These methods use an acid pre-treatment to pull alkaloids into water, followed by basification and non-polar solvent extraction. Known for producing exceptionally pure product.
by Unknown
A classic full A/B extraction using Shellite as the non-polar solvent. Features a double-defat cycle for exceptional purity. WARNING: Do NOT use this tek for Acacia extraction.
by Marsofold
A simple, widely-referenced A/B tek using a crockpot for the acid extraction, NaOH basification, and VM&P naphtha with freeze precipitation. Designed to be straightforward with minimal equipment.
by Shaggy
An A/B tek using citric acid and toluene, producing a full-spectrum 'orange deemsters' extract containing DMT, Yuremamine, and beta-carbolines. Optionally separates white DMT from 'red jungle spice' using heptane.
by Vovin
A detailed, photo-documented A/B tek using HCl for acidification, a Buchner filter for clean separation, a separatory funnel for all liquid handling, and a sodium carbonate wash for exceptional purity.
by Thick-Light
An A/B tek designed for Acacia Confusa Root Bark (ACRB). Features multiple boil cycles, freeze-thaw bark preparation, and room-temperature crystallization inside the warm naphtha before freeze precipitation.
