Ok everyone. This seems to have caused a lot of confusion. Let me clarify.
First thing's first. You don't use 5-Methoxytryptamine to make N,N-DMT (aka DMT). You use this to make 5-MeO-DMT which is a different compound alltogether, one that is much stronger.
Second this video is NOT A DIRECT TUTORIAL for DMT synthesis for a simple reason. When they filmed this episode they intentionally left out various details and steps to prevent people from using it as a tutorial. Hamilton himself pointed this out in one of his podcasts. You cannot use this video and follow step by step to make DMT. It is not even a solid foundation as it intentionally misleads you towards a wrong way of making the compound. Do actually research the synthesis prior to trying this. Making tryptamines is not really easy, not so as this video makes it out to be. Not saying it cannot be done. It certainly can. I'm just saying it is not as easy as this video makes it out to be.

Yes, I understand that Hamilton did not explain his working method in detail. In general, the purpose of DMT synthesis here had nothing to do with 5-methoxy, although 5-methoxy can be made with this method.
