Achuma : Extract or Cap?

[Madcap]

I got some achuma powder and was planning on doing a limonene extraction on it. But then, I read that there are other alkaloids present that are interesting. Can I do an extraction that will include the other goodies. or.. should I cap it up?

d-limo should pull most of it

Or you could look to the recent resin thread. I mean, short of evaporating the limonene is there other ways to make sure you get everything you need out of it? I hear there's a fair old bit of stuff in achuma.

If you want to get resin from powder the filtering step is going to be a bitch. Still possible, though.

I think you get way more out of the cactus this way.

I personally do not like to consume cactus whole, it seems a bit hard to digest.

Find what works for you !

The acetate limonene extraction will get most of the alkaloids. The HCL limonene extraction will get less of the full spectrum of alkaloids. The tea method will also not get all the alkaloids because of the heat used. The only method that will get 100% is to eat it as is and not do an extraction.

Thanks for the inputs guys. I've done a few torch extractions and still have some acetate from that. I will compare doses with an achuma acetate and report back.
