This is not so much a trip report as it is an account of a botched preparation. I noticed no one has posted a report on injected DMT salt, so I'll provide one.
I've extracted dmt several times. I've also synthesized it but I find that route is more trouble than it is worth for someone working with OTC chemicals (basicly I got shitty yields of poor purity and had no desire to flash it through a column). I have recently improved my extraction work-up greatly, and as a result am able to obtain great yields of damn near pure product (clear needles recystallized from pet. ether). So this brings me to my story.
I've smoked dmt countless times and have had great experiences. After reading the section in TIHKAL, I decided to try an IV injection. I figure you use half the product and get twice the experience. In TIHKAL, they mentioned some study long ago where a DMT HCl solution was used. As HCl is the acid I had on hand suitable for use to make a salt, that is what I used. I eyed out what I hoped was close to 20 mg (I only wish I had a scale that would measure milligrams).
