damn thats a RELIEF lol i thought i was smokeing lye during the (smokeing session least now i know my lungs weren't being chemicaly burned from lye... in my head i was like damn them crystals look like lye crystals. and thought some to be lye and some to be dmt.   do u know like a formula  like in nomans tek he is like use this and times it by how ever much ur useing?  i mean for the lye/vineger (bastify) trick your explaining. 

ps i know this is a bit wierd but me and my friends smoked like whole peaces of bark all night one night hehe....  thats why i was thinking it was lye, it tasted alot different... Well..... i guess there was some on the staw (Crystals) from me useing the straw to move the lye maybe there was some crystal on the egde where my mouth was sucking but... my lip felt really wierd like i got lye on it didnt hurt at first just felt wierd and it was only on a small section of my lip, thought so cuase that night my lip stung like all night? hehe guess it wasnt lye tho if was u say is true.   theres no way base can be in the final product(lye)?
