An Acacia Fan Says Hello ;)

[acaciafriend]

Hi dear Nexians,


I have been reading in this forum for quite some time now and I think it's time to introduce myself to this wonderful entheogenic university.

I have been very interested in DMT and chemistry for quite a while now and have been growing my own acacias and also else (owned a Kratom and Mimosa hostilis small tree) for years. They are just beautiful trees that incorporate a whole bunch of different interesting alkaloids, that I decided to wanting explore .

I have very little experience with LSD, took shrooms once, about which I can remember that in the end of the trip I was going to go home by train, very early in the morning, and there was nobody in the wagon with me. Suddenly I started hearing voices behind me, as if there was a crowd of people, talking very fast and in a kinda creepy way. I tried to relax but a feeling of uncertainty remained. I just hoped that the voices are not gonna stay forever as I knew that those voices are very much like those some people suffering from schizophrenia are used to hear. I thought: "I will go home, lie down in bed, fall asleep and when I wake up, I'll be normal again". Thus, so I did and it all came as I hoped.
The one LSD experience was different to the mushroom trip particularly in that, concerning the shrooms trip, the only effect I got was the voices near the end of the trip. No visuals as in my lsd experience, which have been truely impressive, intense. But if I'm gonna try lsd agin some day, then I will definitely take less, just so I would have a little more control during the trip.

Currently I am gardening and making nice photos of my plants quite often.
I have plants of a.leiocalyx, a.acuminata (narrow phyllode, broad phyllode and small seed), a.concurrens, a.decurrens, maidenii, a.mucronata var. longifolia, a.phlebophylla, a.oxycedrus, a.colei. Also had an a. obtusifolia tree, that reached ca. 2 meters of height but unfortunately died suddenly (.
I started an extraction on that tree (stem, branch, phyllodes) together with phyllodes and stems from some a.maidenis and I got a result with an approximately 0,5-0,6% (if i remember correctly). I guess I had luck with getting a high yield Haven't bioassayed yet, since I accidentaly mixed it with an mimosa extract for further cleaning ((. Still having problems ending that extraction because in the mimosa h. solution there was hcl in it and after basing i got a heavy precipitation of quite big needles. Its really a lot. When adding limonene it's almost impossible to get a clear separation, only filtering helps. With xylene it looked a little better I think. Now I am thinking on how to proceed with the filtered and dried precipitations. The NPS used were saved for FASW- salting. I think I could talk in an own thread about the process. I wanna know what all those needles are Can't be all DMT heh. If I just remembered the hcl in the mimosa solution, damn (, because i knew not to use hcl with acacias, but what now? hmm.
But i actually like those experimentations; they are kinda fun
I like to do it the Fumaric-Acid-Salting-Out Way (FASW, FASA, FASI) and limonene really works wonderfully.

DMT fascinates me . I am willing to contribute to this forum as much as possible => looking forward to posting plant pictures and discussing extractions and its chemistry, helping others as much as I want to be helped if I have a question .

cheers,

..welcome to the Nexus, Bassice..a good selection of acacias you have, and lovely to see pics of them..a good start indeed on this path and at the nexus..they look well..i wouldn't advise in future mixing different species of plant in extraction, as you will not know exactly what was in each, nor be able to judge the differences between them..each is unique..

Nen, does this also apply to making brews?
For instance, if I were to brew acacia confusa with mimosa, or mimosa and desmanthus, or all 3 together.

Nice acacias btw

 

[acaciafriend]

Thanks nen ;-)

Yes, I agree, there seem to be so many different compounds in acacias, each species with its own blend of synergizing alkaloids. For example, I'm curious about what a. leiokalyx has to offer in its huge phyllodes. Or what about a. colei? I remember there exists one single report about a succesful extraction, with 2 or 3% yield I guess, which of course can be called into question. Many species to experiment with

Thanks, BundleflowerPower

Your welcome. I accualy just planted my first acacia seeds. Found some trees at a local park.

 

[acaciafriend]

cool Which species is it you are starting to grow? Good luck with it indeed

 

[BundleflowerPower]

To be honest idk. I posted pics in the acacia id thread, hopefully someone can help id them.

 

[acaciafriend]

here some pics of my acacia-extraction (obtusifolia with maidenii) after evaporating the acetone pulls:

 

[acaciafriend]

The quality is unfortunately a little low due to having to fit the size somewhere else before. Forgot about that, sorry.

 

[BundleflowerPower]

You could always make changa.
