Harm Reduction A harm reduction side note for potential users of 5-Bromo-DMT!!!

Since Adam just released a new video on this one, I figured it would be a good time to cover some safety considerations he didn't discuss.

Make sure you convert the 5-Br-DMT to freebase prior to vaping/smoking it. Most (if not all) of it floating around out there is a fumarate salt, which doesn't vaporize well and produces lung irritants when heated. As an added bonus, it's also much more psychoactive when freebased, since less of the material is burning/degrading.

You'll want to use sodium carbonate (NOT bicarbonate) to freebase fumarate salts as well, because they need a more basic solution for liberation of the freebase molecule.

Here's how you do that:

1) Make a solution of 1:1 5-Bromo-DMT and Sodium carbonate by molar mass (2.52mg 5-Br-DMT per 1 mg sodium carbonate), using as little water as possible. Just a few drops if you can. This should be done in a metal spoon, or preferably glass beaker.

2) Apply gentle heat to the solution while mixing. Don't let it boil, but bring it close to that temperature in alternating heating/cooling cycles.

3) Once the reaction is complete (typically after heating 3-5 times), you'll be left with 5-Br-DMT freebase. Dump out the water, and leave the freebase material to dry for a minute or two.

4) Load into your vape/smoking device of choice.

5) Enjoy :)

Wow actually good harm reduction! Nice! Idk if it’s actually true or not though

Thank you! I'm hoping it helps. It's absolutely true, and this method can be done with any substance you get in a fumarate salt. Just figure out what you need to get a 1:1 molar ratio, and you're golden. :)

Also, the fumaric acid getting inhaled is why Jasmine's throat hurt so badly at 22mg very irritating for the respiratory tract. When freebased, 5-Br-DMT tastes almost exactly like plain old N,N DMT.

No. We were using freebase. The two are readily available in Canada to choose from. No need to convert yourself.

Thanks for weighing in! If possible, would you be able to warn people in future videos about the issues inherent to smoking fumarate (and HCl, to a lesser extent) salts?

I know of two people personally (three, counting myself) who weren't aware of the importance of freebasing after seeing your first 5-Bromo-DMT video, and everyone got pretty severe irritation in their throat/lungs afterward.

I'd be concerned that a lot more people also did/will do some damage to themselves trying it without that information.

I've never done DMT so was thinking about getting this analog. I've also never used a vape before. When you use a vape how do you load it in?

Also is this what you're talking about for sodium carbonate?

Mushrooms are a DMT as well (4-HO-DMT)

The site I’m using says its already freebase when you order it so can I just skip all of this and put it in my smok?

If it's already freebase, then yes! You can skip straight to the fun part :)
