I feel like synthesizing DMT is pointless as it's so easy to extract, but learning to synthesize mescaline would be a super ultra useful skill. I have thought about that but have no idea what would be involved with synthesizing anything
Extracting mescaline from San Pedro is pretty much the same process as extracting DMT tho…
Yeah but San Pedro is super expensive. And dealing with a cactus is extremely different from dealing with tree bark. You can buy powdered cactus but still, you're gonna be paying like 30 dollars per dose vs like idk a dollar or less for DMT
Dude he just said he was working on this as a hobby. Believe it or not some people just like chemistry and organic synthesis. Not always about what's practical. Idk why people always say this in this sub as if everybody doesn't already know. See r/bizzybees or r/theehive people do less practical shit just to see what they can turn into what all the time.
The point wasn't to invalidate, but to specifically highlight the value of the idea mentioned at the end of the post, extracting mescaline
