Method 2
Phalaris arundinacea
This plant is also called reed canary grass and is one of the few DMT
sources that you can find growing outside in the Netherlands. Little
research has been done as to how exactly this plant can be used as the
botanical DMT source for an ayahuasca analogue. Jim DeKorne, author of
"Psychedelic Shamanism", is currently one of the few people who has
published information on how P. arundinacea can be processed into
an administrable substance. His idea of canary grass extraction is this:
- Pulverize the grass clippings
- Add water, "enough to make a pourable soup"
- Acidify to pH 5 or so
- (Optional) Simmer the acidified soup in a slow cooker overnight,
not allowing the liquid to evaporate. ("It may take two or three
such operations to get all of the alkaloids into solution")
- Strain the plant matter through cheesecloth, then through a
paper coffee filter
- Add 10 to 15% of the mass of the solution in a "defatting
solvent" such as methylene chloride, ether, chloroform, or naphtha.
- Shake vigorously
- The crap will go into the solvent, leaving the good stuff in the
water.
- Separate the water from the solvent.
- Add a base to the aqueous solution in small increments until the
pH gets to about 9 or 10. This converts the alkaloids into their
free base.
- Extract with 10% of the mass of the solution of an organic
solvent four times, at one 24-hour and then three weekly intervals.
The solvent layer will take on a darker tint, usually yellowish or
reddish-brown. It will take almost a month to extract all of the
alkaloids, and the solution should be shaken at least twice a day
between extractions.
- Evaporate the solvent off from the combined extract fractions.
You now have the alkaloids.
In a later publication, "The Entheogen Review", DeKorne has more
information on Phalaris extraction:
"The latest scoop is that you don't even have to use chemical
extractions anymore - run several handfuls of grass through a wheatgrass
juicer (sold in most health food stores) and you'll wind up with a glass
or so of incredibly potent liquid. One teaspoon (with MAO inhibition, of
course), is a standard dose with strong grass. Only two teaspoons proved
very challenging to one of my correspondents - an OD! The juice can be
dried and smoked in a bong - two tokes will usually do it."
