18 hour long headache I said

    Crystalline DMT, which can be easily extracted at home using Mimosa hostilis bark and an acid-to-base technique, is probably the best psychedelic I've used. I love psilocybin but always get nauseous and the active trip is a 3-4 hour dedicated process. DMT is more intense visually but the active trip is like 5-20 minutes. Then there's a wonderful 5 hour~ afterglow that's like a more visceral microdose. When I use them while hiking, generally how I like to, I feel safer on the DMT because it's the same wonderful psychedelic headspace without disorientation two hours in. Even if I had an overwhelming trip it's over in a few minutes and I was locked in my seat/bed rather than wandering around like on psilocybin.

      I've never tried DMT (I've tried 2C-B, which is similar in terms of duration), that sounds wonderful. But where can you even find Mimosa Hostilis? Can't you extract some other, more abundant plant matter that you can find locally?

        Other plants contain it but Mimosa hostilis is probably cheaper, more widely available, and ecologically-friendly to harvest because it's a frontier species. Where it's native they even use it as animal fodder and it will probably survive the increasing drought conditions in South America.

        I got mine from a Dutch company that ships out of Germany: https://www.mimosaroot.com/product/mimosa-hostilis-inner-root-bark-mhrb-powder/ . It's legally sold as a clothing dye with 50g being enough to provide maybe 10 trips. Extracting it only requires working with lighter fluid around a stove and sodium hydroxide/drain cleaner crystals, both of which are extracted out from the final product.

            I've only used the pure sodium hydroxide crystals which are legally sold for soap-making. It's just the same thing used in drain cleaners so the same kind of alkaline burn precautions apply.
