I live in Maui, and live in practically a gold mine of Formosa Koa trees, which contain a high volume of DMT. The lumber yards here throw the bark away as waste. I was just wondering how one is to extract the DMT from the bark.. I could acquire a large quantity of bark if necessary.

[jazzemagic]

@ntlvfe DMT extractions are illegal and I do not promote breaking the law, though such information can be easily found at websites such as erowid.

Nice little video that informed me of a few things I did not already know about this plant.

a communication with a researcher about the subject, informed me that when they consumed 2 ounces of the rootbark sans MAO, testing the oral activity claims that have been made on the plant recently, when used as a type of "jurema" or "ayahuasca" alternate recipe, they found no oral activity, but were worried by a large bruise that developed on the underarm, that was nearly 12 inches long, and quite sore

@jahnkree Believe me -this plant is very active. I have been exposed to the use of this plant for ayahuasca purposes A LOT and it's more active than anything else that I've seen. I've never come across anyone getting a rash of any kind from its use- perhaps that person had a rare allergy. A. Confusa is frequently used in Chinese medicine without an MAOI, but like any DMT-plant, is active when combined with something like syrian rue. It is stronger than p verdis, chaliponga or even mimosa.

Thanks so much for this excellent video

What is a threshold dose of root bark with MAO-I ? 5 grams is it enough to feel something different than just MAOI ?

[podycheck]

100grams does not sound like a good idea at all.

[fastboy205]

hint hint, wink wink.

Or into a soft drink perhaps?

Has anybody tried making a cold-water (for example letting plant material steep w/ vinegar/lemon juice in cold water for 7 days or so) infusion from Acacia Confusa?

[jahnkree]

the plant is considered invasive in Hawaii, and is now being harvested there for the ethnobotanical market.

I have seen great quality rootbark, and tree bark offered, since I dont think all the trees are being sustainably harvested, as above ground bark is being offered for research as well.

should have some reports on bark activity in a few months.

for US residents having troubles importing jurema, this Hawaiian source is the next best resource for now.

@jazzemagic

yeah, I am aware that this plant is active,

the communicant describing their experience was testing for the oral, non MAO, rootbark only claims, that the rootbark is active orally on its own.

the test was negative, but that doesnt suprise me from my own jurema, sans MAO research.

the communicant felt that the bruise and gland swelling was associated with the consumption of the rootbark.

just to err on the side of caution.

its an exciting alternate to jurema.

thanks for your work!
