DMT is a molecule that mimics the neurotransmitter serotonin, much like the other classic psychedelics LSD and psilocybin. DMT’s psychological effects are mostly due to its binding to the 5-HT2A receptor, which is found mostly in areas of the brain associated with high-level cognition: self-awareness, emotions and introspection.

Note: At this point (before step 4), you can optionally add what is called a 'defatting' step to help remove plant oils - this is pretty much required if you are using acacia root bark (ACRB) but generally unnecessary if you are using a quality mimosa root bark. To remove plant oils you would mix 100g of solvent (naphtha would be better than heptane at this stage) with the acidified bark/water solution, then separate the layers by letting it sit until they naturally separate. The proper lab equipment for then removing this solvent is a separatory funnel, but some people try to suck the solvent off using things like a turkey baster, syringe, or siphon. Another option is to filter it all, the solvent with plant oils should pass through the filter while the bark mass is left behind. The solvent will dissolve the plant oils but not the DMT at this stage, so you want to then remove and discard this solvent. You can repeat this procedure to be sure most of the plant oils are removed. If you have acacia bark you may want to look for a TEK specifically designed for it.
15) Now place a clean/dry pie plate on top of your crock pot and pour the DMT rich solvent into it. Do not cover this pie plate, this should still be done outside or with kitchen vent on maximum. Watch this very carefully until it is reduced to 10-25 grams (1 to 2 tablespoons).
With heptane this will generally only require a few minutes, with naphtha it may take about 30 minutes (if you used less solvent to begin with, the reduction will take less time). Tip: If you pre-weigh your pie plate and wipe the bottom of the pie plate before weighing again on your kitchen scale you can easily determine when you've hit the target 10-25g range. Optionally place cheese cloth over the pie plate or put some barrier around it to prevent dust from falling into your solvent).
NOTE: Pure DMT should be white (crystals can also be clear). Yellow, brown, or reddish colors are signs of contamination, which is typically from plant oils. These can be removed with recrystallization, or just accepted and used as is (some people seem to prefer contaminated DMT, possibly because it's not as strong). If you vape at a low temperature with the right kind of device (such as a dream maker tool), plant oils will generally be left behind and not inhaled. Otherwise, they can result in harsh vapor and lower potency by weight (because the oils are heavy) making dosing more difficult to determine.
Sep 12, 2018 at 3:42pmWritten Out Version of GordoTEK DMT extraction TEK (heptane variants included)Special thanks to Dane for contributing the first draft of this write up.Things that separate this TEK from others - no lab equipment is needed, NO harsh chemicals like sodium hydroxide (LYE) are used, there are no high temperature reactions, no chance for emulsions, no need to measure pH, only grocery store, food grade items are used for the acid and base. Work effort is minimal, yields and purity are high, and it’s easy to do.
