The following is for entertainment purposes only DMT is a prohibited drug in australia and most other countries. 5MeODMT is probably still legal in most australian states, but is prohibited in many countries. I take no responsibility for the accuracy of the following. It could all be lies I invented to get you to kill yourself. There are several species of plant that contain interesting tryptamine alkaloids that grow in australia (either introduced or native). They include : Phalaris aquatica (nee tuberosa) "Toowomba canarygrass" Phalaris arundinacea "Reed canarygrass" Arundo donax "Giant river reed" Desmodium gangeticum Desmodium pulchellum Acacia maidenii "Maidens wattle" Acacia phelbophylla "Buffalo Swallow Wattle" A.phelobophylla's leaves contain .3% per wet mass DMT, with few other alkaloids (6). Grows naturally only in Victoria (around Mount Buffalo). A.Maidenii's bark contains .3% per mass N-methyltryptamine and DMT in a 2:3 ratio. Extraction is difficult but far from impossible by normal (acid/base, partitioned solvents) methods (6). Grows naturally in NSW,Vic. D.pulchellum's green parts contain 5MeODMT, with few other (active) alkaloids. (1) D.gangeticum contains indole alkaloids in its green parts. 1kg wet mass of plant material yielded 2.5g total alkaloids as follows : DMT : 0.41g DMT Nb oxide : 0.33g 5MeoDMT : 0.57g 5MeODMT Nb oxide : 0.18g Tetrahydroharman : 0.03g 6-methoxy,2-methyl B carboline : 0.21g Grows mainly in SE asia and northern australia.. (2) A.donax leaves, flowers and rhizomes contain DMT and 5MeODMT, but unfortunately also contain about 3 times as much gramine (3(aminomethyl)indole) as DMT and 5MeODMT combined. This renders extraction of DMT very difficult (basically only possible by chromotography) (3). Widely distributed along temperate waterways all through Australia. Common in Perth. P. arundinacea contain DMT,5MeODMT and other B-carboline and 3-(n-aminoalkyl)indoles along with gramine. This grass is interesting in that different strains contain widely varying total and relative concentrations of alkaloids. In a study in Australia (4) only 5 out of 12 strains tested had significant amounts of 5MeODMT or DMT in them, with the rest contain mainly gramine, hordenine, or tricyclic indole. While this plant is widely recommeded for extraction of DMT, these results make me suspicious of the validity of this recommendation. One possible reason for success with this plant is the fact that those specimins containing gramine and hordenine are less palitable to stock than those containing DMT or other tryptamines. This plant is a major pasture grass in the southern half of Australia and has become naturalised in some areas of western australia (and possibly elsewhere). Seeds are available through standard agricultural sources. P. aquatica contain DMT, 5MeODMT and bufotenine, along with up to 5% B-carboline tricyclics. Alkaloid concentrations and relative levels vary with growth condition and strain, as is extensively documented (5). For maximum DMT content, the grass needs to be grown in shady (15-28% of full sunlight), warm (16-21C diurnal range) conditions with high soil nitrate level. Long days are also conducive to faster alkaloid production (as a byproduct of faster growth). Under good conditions, alkaloids may make up 180mg per 100g of dry plant mass. Each plant weighs about 1.8g (dry) after 4 weeks growth, making for about 500 plants to the gram of alkaloids extracted. Alkaloid conc. also varies with stain, but any of the normal commercial strains (ie _not_ "Low alkaloid" varieties) contain good DMT content and good ratio of DMT/5MeODMT to bufotenine and other indoles. P. aquatica is another major pasture grass in the southern half of australia, and has become quite widely naturalised. Seeds are again easily available. This would be my plant of choice for obtaining DMT in WA. References : 1: J. Org. Chem vol 31 p 2284. 2: Banerjee P.K. and Goshal S., Aust J.
