I would like to know exactly what is going where in this DMSO extraction. I’m assuming a lot in the tech. SWIM has not measured the weight of either. He’s only measured it by volume by eyeing it in the pipette, which is inaccurate of course. It looks somewhere between 5-10% of the oil by volume is migrating to the DMSO. There’s at least one or more fluorescent compounds that are nearly completely migrating into the DMSO after mixing it. I would love to know what’s fluorescing.

Does elemicin fluoresce greenish blue in UV light?

Evaporation of DMSO is going to take FOREVER! That’s not much of an option. I think perhaps adding a lot of water to the DMSO, making the elemicin insoluble in it (if possible), and then extracting with something like DCM would work. I don’t like the idea of elemicin contaminated with DCM though. DCM is just plain nasty. You absolutely don’t want it in the final product. I just can’t think of a good non-polar solvent to use here. Food grade d-limonene would pose a problem because it also doesn’t evaporate fast.

No, that hasn’t crossed SWIM’s mind. In every test I’ve done using DMSO applied to the skin, nothing worked at all, so I have little hope for that working. But it does apparently work for some compounds, so it just might work with elemicin. But elemicin seems to not absorb sublingually at all, so I have my doubts it will work with it. It’s worth a try though.

The DMSO used above is not much. 2.5 ml is less that the amount most people take. The normal DMSO dose used orally as a supplement is 5-10 ml a day. So it doesn’t bother me that the DMSO is used. I know some people hate DMSO. I find the taste similar to garlic, and I like garlic, so the flavor is not a turn off for me. Besides, with the elemicin in it, all you taste is the elemicin.

One thing I should note is that this method of using elemicin dissolved in DMSO makes digestion really fast and also seems to prevent elemi oil burps from happening.

Now as far as mixing it with mescaline goes, it goes VERY WELL WITH MESCALINE! The 50 mg of mescaline HCl used earlier by SWIM has sort of taken over the experience of the DMSO extract 0.6 ml of elemi oil. The 50 mg of mescaline is about as strong as 100 mg of mescaline. The combination is excellent. It’s more euphoric than either is on their own, and also more visual. The visuals have taken on character of mescaline visuals. The “daydream” visual character of the elemicin is still present with the eyes closed and this is greatly enhanced by the mescaline.

The mescaline added a very nice empathogenic and relaxed feeling to the trip. It also added an erotic component to the trip.
