A/B via THP

[fraterS.O.L.]

I should be getting new bark this week. I want to try an A/B using the herbal percolator. Has anybody used the herbal percolator for this yet? I figured that this system plus some defatting would make for some super clean spice. So if anybody has done this before I was wondering if the ratios were the same as with caapi and if I can use HCl if I am using hdpe plastic. Thx

FraterS.O.L.,

Please accept my apologies if my post seemed condescending or demeaning. That was not my intent. In my time here at the Nexus, I've learned that one of the greatest benefits this community has to offer is in the area of harm reduction. A lot of new explorers may read Strassman's literature and attempt to repeat his experiments under less controlled circumstances, potentially doing themselves great harm along the way. I tried to convey that I can't recommend this route because of the increased potential for harm, but that it's ultimately your choice. I see how my 'it's your ass' comment could have stirred up defensive emotions and I apologize for that. Along the lines of Endlessness' previous post, I hoped to make it absolutely clear to any less experienced people out there that IV use has several additional risks associated with it vs. vaporization or oral consumption.

To try to keep this thread on-topic as much as possible that's the last I'll say about it unless you'd like to discuss it further. I hope it goes without saying that we're concerned about your safety and are simply expressing our concern out of love for you, this community, and all of our fellow explorers.

Good luck with your experiments. I sincerely hope that they lead you in a positive direction.

-JM

No real need for apologies jm. I had just woke up, hadn't had coffee or a cigarette and was proud of the yeild I got. I realize that concern stems from love and feel pretty shitty about getting on the defensive about what was obviously a statement of care. I say we drop it for now. As endless pointed out, its not just my safety that is on the line. I can't tell you how aweful I would feel if someone died based on my posts. How I do things are offbeat to say the least and I don't think anybody should follow that route.

Anyway, I can respond to your other statement (energy efficiency) by saying I'm looking at a 1.5%ish yeild, I'm usually a STB guy for this sort of yeild. I never got above .6% with boiling. I'd say the few hours of reducing are worth the outcome.
