Even with the recent crackdown on MHRB vendors in the U.S., it's quite easy to find the stuff going for less than $150 a kilo (trc even sells an vastly overpriced 5 kg listing on the road for $2100).
So let's assume you buy 10 kilos of MHRB for $1500 (probably could find it cheaper if you have good connects). Even if you have a shitty .5% yield with your extraction technique, that's still 50 grams of DMT (worth almost $10,000 going by SR current prices).
With those high profit margins, the extremely low difficulty in extracting DMT, and the relatively high availability of DMT "precursors", why aren't there more than a handful of DMT vendors here?! Someone get on this please!

Well, i see no death of DMT vendors on the road. However, the same reasons that you mention ( easy extraction process, easy availability of precursor) could be why people do not want to spend on it, and thus extract it themselves... for much less...
This, in turn, results in lower demand.... lower market potential, less volumes, and smaller profits ( although the margins might still be good ).
Probably the effort is not worth it for vendors who get large volume sales from other, less profitable products.
Another reason could be the spiritual nature of the drug. On a few occasions, during my research into this beautiful chemical, i have come across quite a few forum posts (and other articles ) which discourage the sale of DMT ( fkc knows... )
Just speculating here, nothing to really substantiate the above, except my memory...
In case you are lookin for vendors, here are a few :
JesusOfRave (has source A and source B dmt.. "A" is a lil more yellow.. "B" is also yellowish, but lighter than "A", and better quality in my opinion - i have sampled both ). A bit on the expensive side, compared to other vendors, but the customer service is fucking amazing.
mahakala (currently has 0.1, 0.2, 0.5 and 1g listings at a very good price. Also has changa )
Asylum (extracts it himself, very good price, but is currently on vacation till mid march. I think he sells changa as well )
Tesser4cted (sp?) (very reasonably priced. There was one review somewhere which said that even though the pic advertised is white, the product is more yellowish, but still V. good quality )
rogerpete - US domestic, so didnt bother researching, as i am not in the US. But he has good reviews.
then theres a few from australia.. forget their names..

Thanks DayDreamer, there's a lot of truth to what you said that I didn't think about before. I guess I'm just a little annoyed that I'm going to have to extract the stuff myself because I don't want to pay $150 for a gram here... (hence why I'd like a little more competition on the road). Oh well, I'm actually looking forward to doing a little homemade chemistry!

Where i live, DMT is unheard of.. the only people who have done it, have done so with "some white guy" who "brought it with him", either from Europe or the US.
The little bit that does get sold, goes for about 600 - 800 USD per gram... I definitely do not mind paying 150!!!
But you are right, it is very tempting to try an extraction. I expect it to be a fun experience, and the satisfaction of smoking your own product is unmatched!..
unfortunately, i am unable to find a plant in my area which i know for sure has a substantial amount of DMT.
Still trying to figure out the local plant species... The plan is to grow my own plant, harvest it, and extract from it. I expect it to take quite some time, and in the meanwhile i will prepare myself mentally for a breakthrough... the combination of making your own product, plus he built up anticipation of the event can only result in a positive journey.. and thats how i want to do it.. My first breakthrough has to be positive and uplifiting.
in the meantime, i am happy ordering dmt from the road, and testing it a bit at a time, accustoming my body to its effects , so i can gauge what to expect with higher doses. Then up he dose a bit... and repeat the process
I went through 1/4 gm of product, 1 bong, 3 pipes and 3 lightbulbs before i managed to build myself a beautiful bulb vaporiser.. Very proud of my creation. again, the satisfaction of smoking from a vaporiser made with your own hands!
currently almost half way through another 500mg, and i am loving it.
It almost feels like an affair with a beautiful woman (the DMT), where i try things out, a bit at a time... I have to treat her well, else she won't give me the experience i want. Taking time to get to know her....
I just love it..
sorry, went a bit off topic here.. pretty stoned..
Peace and love...

Haha, sounds awesome man, looking forward to trying it for myself as well!
I have an order placed for MHRB from a seemingly legit European clearnet vendor. Once it arrives and I'm sure he's legit, I'd be happy to PM you the link to his site. He's selling 50g of MHRB for $17 + s/h and a kilo for $160 + s/h, so it might be worth checking out if you're planning on using DMT regularly. He's also selling mimosa tree seeds (20 for $10 + s/h) if you'd like to go that route.
Here's the extraction method I plan on using: (http://www.erowid.org/plants/mimosa/mimosa_chemistry1.shtml). I should be able to get a .5% yield, so it's by far the cheaper option.
At any rate, thanks for the replies. Happy traveling!

lot of ppl think dmt is sacred and should not be sold!
the lack of mhrb supply problem could be solved easily. some phalaris species has high dmt content!( phalaris is grass. that grows in your garden)
You could grow your own dmt plant!!!!!!!!!
