yes, utfse- its been spelled out very clearly what needs to bee done. TIME is essential to grab the goods, at least a couple of days each extraction with the benzine. Swim hopes swiy didnt throw away the basic aqueous layer, beecause that is where all the goods are at. Make sure to backwash the benzine before evaporating. Make a weak NaOH/DH2O solution, and wash the benzine with it (after its separated from the basic aq solution, but before you evap). Those 'washes' dont need to sit, discard the wash water (NaOH water) after swirling, light shaking (emulsions can form here, but not as bad as in other places) and it has totally settled out (~15 minutes). Swim reccomends 2 or 3 'backwashes' with slightly basic water. This will wash out excess NaOH (the base, which burns the hell out of your lungs), plus other polar impurities that are still in the solvent after extraction.
Benzine, from what swim has read, is a very good solvent to use for this extraction. No worries there.
What does swiy's final product look like? If its too oily/wet- you can:
-reacidify, defat, basify, extract, backwash then evap to bee left with nice white/yellow/'orangeing' crystals. The yield will go down a bit, but what is left is (more) pure DMT. This will make doseing much easier and consistant. Aint nothing like accidentally takeing too much. Although swim highly reccomends the experiance to anyone who has worked with the stuff for a while.

edit:
As well he wanders if he did the extracting properly. He poored the benzine, than basified slowly till ph 12
By doing that, swiy is collecting a 'defat' and an extraction together in the same batch of benzene. This will help contribute to an oily product that wont crystalise. Swiy wasnt very specific about what steps where taken- exactly. Swim sure hopes swiy knows that washes, and defats atre to bee discarded, and that one is to use fresh solvent for each step that its called for. Really gotta do more than just skim over the 'directions', study up!
edit#2
swiy did extract the acidified bark X3? -I hope. That extraction as well needs time just like the extraction of the basic solution.
DMT... its good for what ails ya!
Just remember to bring back some of the love.
