POD 102: A self-taught chemist's journey to synthesize 5-MeO-DMT
Added 2024-04-28 07:46:24 +0000 UTCIn this interview I talk with a completely self-taught chemist about his experience reading the Bufo alvarius pamphlet and deciding to embark on a tryptamine chemistry quest. The discussion covers DMT, 5-MeO-DMT, NsBT, 5-MeO-NsBT, 5-MeO-MsBT, and the use of 5-MeO-MiPT to treat ankylosing spondylitis.

NOTE 2: Synthesis notes are incoming

As Hamilton mentions, this man maybe unintentionally understates the emotional tolls suffered when operating in this capacity in an attempt to avoid sounding like he's complaining. However his voice and word choices explaining the abject isolation and loneliness involved in the work resonated deeply with me and I had to stop the recording for a moment. Obviously I am not sure who any of you here are or what any of you do in your lives but I hope you all learn everything you hope to in your endeavors all the while staying vigilantly secure in your operations... The loneliness and isolation the gueat mentions are so very real. Stay healthy and balanced in all you do, friends. Take extra measures to ensure your emotional and mental well-being no matter who you are, but especially so if you are one of those who channel Kid Charlemagne

2024-11-29 03:18:29 +0000 UTCIv definitely seen 1kg scale b-3,4,5-TMONS reduction using CuCl2 and NaBH4
Jack Alderton
2024-08-25 12:32:39 +0000 UTCYeah I’d say CuCl2 and NaBH4 for reduction of mescaline and most phenethylamines ime

2024-08-25 12:31:11 +0000 UTCAny word on those incoming synthesis notes? :)

2024-07-16 00:25:00 +0000 UTCHis description of 30mg of 5meo sounds exactly like one of the B.P.M.'s from "the way of the psychonaut" . The memory of being birthed in the hospital.

2024-07-01 22:07:03 +0000 UTCOne thing….he is using borohydride also, and he is having re-x problems from hexane. Would you suggest ethyl acetate instead? Seems to be very ‘oily’

2024-06-23 14:43:21 +0000 UTCI actually thought tryptamine was fairly cheap tbf. Also re the lab, you don’t NEEED it. You need a stirrer that’s about it…it’s nice to have all this. My friend just did a DMT synth with an ice bath and actually got a higher yield than when he ran it at a lower temp….love it

2024-06-23 14:41:26 +0000 UTCWow what a wonderful interview. Thank you

2024-05-25 07:19:21 +0000 UTCNo, it is not feasible.
Hamilton Morris
2024-05-14 04:36:19 +0000 UTCIs it feasible to extract dmt from psilocin

2024-05-12 09:03:19 +0000 UTCI understand nothing of chemistry but I enjoyed the guy's clarity of verbalization, especially when he was describing his internal experiences.

2024-05-06 08:02:29 +0000 UTCWhy no rectal? Your show had many anus references. You seem have a keen interest in “anality” in general. That lemon shirt. The fistula reference.
