________________________DMT, Life And The Universe_________________________


                EVER WONDER WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE, IF LSD, FOR
                INSTANCE, WOULD GROW EVERYWHERE, LIKE THE GRASS
                ON YOUR FRONT LAWN. WELL LSD DOESN'T. BUT DMT,
                IT'S EVERYWHERE, PROBABLY ON YOUR FRONT LAWN,
                TOO. EVERYBODY KNOWS MUSHROOMS. AND THE AMAZO-
                NIAN VIROLAS. BUT HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF
                PHALARIS?

________
Phalaris arundinacea, reed canary grass,  grows everywhere in the world
outside the polar regions. In Europe, Northern and Eastern Asia (partly in
Central-), In North America from New Brunswick to the Southeastern parts of
Alaska, from North Carolina to New Mexico, Arizona and Northeastern parts
of California. Also in New Zealand. As for Finland (and Scandinavia) where
I live, it grows on rocky shores througout the country. It is common.
____
Most likely Phalaris grows on lake- and riverbanks and on seashores,
especially rocky. It is often accompanied by Festuca arundinacea,
Angelica archangelica ssp. litoralis, Sochus arvensis and Veronica
longifolia. Phalaris grows often in rings and in the middle of
the spot grows Calla palustris and Bidens-species. Tufts it forms are
often only phalaris, but Phragmites, Carex acuta and Itis pseudoacorus
may grow amidst it.

________
Phalaris is tall grass, usually about 1 meter up to 2 m., 4 to 7 jointed,
hard and smooth (sometimes reddish), leaves 7 to 30 cm long and appr. 1 cm
wide. The "flower" is 10 cm long, dense, the seed is appr. 1,7 mm. Pictures
and very accurate descriptions of this grass/reed are easy to find in any
library.

__________
Extraction of DMT and 5-MeO-DMT, which it contains, is relatively simple.
However one should get some basic information on chemistry and the
substances used in process as some of them are poisonous.
Hypothethical extraction follows...  First you'd locate the plant, collect
as much as you need, and then pulverize it. Freezing it would probably
make mashing easier. Once one had suitable mish-mash, some water would be
added to make it bit more liquid. Next one would need acid to convert the
plant alkaloids into salts. White vinegar or even lemon juice does just
fine. If one should have a chemist friend, he'd know a lot more about
powerful extraction methods. Anyway, about 1/10th acid in. Give the
reaction some time, say overnight and perhaps some heat. Next you'd want
to discard the pulp. Defatting with methylene chloride, ether, chloroform
or naphta would be in order - add about 1/10th. You'd shake it, and wait
until the mixture separates into two layers. The layer you are after would
depend on solvent. Now one would lower the pH, say for instance with lye,
adding small amounts and checking the pH until it reaches about 10. The
alkaloids would now be in free base from again. One would repeat the
process after a while (1 to 7 days) three or four (or more) times, and as
a result solvent layer should turn reddish or brown. Finally the whole
liquid would be poured into shallow container to evaporate. After
evaporation, remaining substance should contain the alkaloids.

To make this smokable one would add some alcohol, some smokable substance,
such as tobacco or oregano and let the alcohol evaporate.
As for dosage, the person extracting the alkaloids should do everything
with relative accuracy - it is easy to maintain the same dosage later.
Dosage would be confirmed by experimentation - first 1/4 gram, in nothing
1/2 gram, and so on...


________
Phalaris, mushrooms and homegrown cannabis are good ways to disconnect
yourself from the criminal underground, the drug wars, from this mad
society of of ours. LSD, for instance, produces bad feeling because of
its illegality, and because you have to be in contact with criminals,
who often get their income mainly from heroin or amphetamines (read
violence and darkness). We are approaching the year 2000 and one look
around makes me sick - planet is beginning to feel sick from the poison
it has produced, humans, and will soon begin to get rid of us. We humans
ourselves feel sick in our warped societies amids concrete and machines,
away from the nature. PollutionWARSviolenceMONEYsadnessdestructionINSANITY
machinescommercialismNEGATIVITYendangeredspecieshungerHUMAN-MADEDESERTSex
tinction...
Yes, we know whats going on. All too well, most of us just want to escape,
into television reality, into drug-induced realities, and us at the net,
into net-reality... Speaking doesn't do much, too little too slowly... this
whole race needs a boot in the head before getting it. The kicker is
Mother Nature, and the boot is DMT.

____
Most Psychedelic drugs are just like other drugs - LSD, 2CB, MDMA, you name
it - human made, tied to the society, in the hands of international crime
and shackles of our states. Altered conciousness made dirty with crime and
drug prohibition wars, and in the end connected to the deadly virus that
has humanity by its throat - MONEY.
There is no longer need to subject yourself to any of those negative
forces. Mushrooms grow in abundance almost all over the world. Phalaris-
grass makes DMT available to almost anyone. Dont sell these - if neccecery
give them away for free - selling makes the whole experience inpure.

THIS WORKS!!

 Obtaine 60g of dried sprouts  estimate to be somwhere between 240-360
grams wet weight.   Put the sprouts into 2 cups of 50% white vinegar (5%) and
boiled for around 20 minutes.   Strain this and repeated two more times.  By
the third extraction, the resulting liquid  very pale and a tingy yellow.
TAke the six cups of resulting liquid (light brown) and reduce to under 1/2 cup.
Then pour this in a cookie dish and reduce first with a blow dryer and then
with an oven, door ajar, at 200 degrees farhenheit.   Do untill the gum
has hardened into a crusty brown substance.   Crumbl and plac in a normal
combustion pipe and smoked rapidly and deeply.  The effects are of a 20mg dmt dosage.
The effects are not very visual but involve a deep expansion of thought and lead to
deep understanding of self. This proves conclusively that phalaris arundinicae does
contain tryptamines.  It would be a better idea to perform an accurate alkaloid
extract onthese to leave a crystalline powder.

All weights are wet:
JLF sells 90g of seeds for 13.00$ and 455g for 50$.  If 455g were grown on the 8 day
growth cycle described in the Of The Jungle catalogue, harvesting roughly 4000g in a
month, this could be extracted to give 200 doses (20g sprouts/dose).  Of course
this is hypothetical as it would be illegal.
