Curcumin (Turmeric extract) - Non-toxic extraction tek - Version 0.6a
(for those who don't know version jargon, a = alpha and means this version is far from ready for final release/draft and is pending testing/input from others before being considered a working/reliable tek)
Warning: This extraction is can be very messy because turmeric contain a non-water-soluble dye which can stain clothes, counters, hands and pretty much anything. It is recommended to use gloves, clothes that you don't mind staining and do it outdoors if possible, not for safety but for cleanliness.
About curcumin:
Curcumin is an MAOI like harmaline, harmine and THH.
It can give clear and obvious effects by itself and has been used to potentate smoked cannabis, as an additive to smoked spice either sublingually or smoked. It doesn't seem to work with oral DMT like harmalas but will likely produced a distinct alteration when taken with any psychedelic.
Of course like all MAOIs/RIMAs caution should be taken with these combination, especially with SSRIs.
Materials required:
50-200g - Turmeric
One - Disposable container - coke bottle, nestea bottle, something like that.
About 200ml - Canola oil (any cooking oil would likely work)
One - Chopstick or metal spoon
One - Funnel
Several squares - Toilet paper
One - 50ml-100ml Seal-able container
Some - Electrical tape or Masking tape (not needed if your seal-able container is tinted)
One - 1ml or 5ml dropper
Step 1:
Carefully pour or spoon 50-200g of turmeric into you disposable container
Step 2:
Add about 1ml of canola oil for ever gram of turmeric (doesn't have to be precise) then stir it well, maybe stir it a few more times later.
Heat the mix up by just letting it sit in a bowl of hot water, it seems to help the process
Step 3:
After mixing it a couple times just let it sit for several hours or until there is a liquid-layer on top of some clumpy sediments at the bottom.
(Most of the oil will be absorbed by the turmeric, similar to how dried cactus absorbs water so it will only be a portion of the oil added)
(if this doesn't happen then more oil is needed, go back to step 2)
Get your funnel and your seal-able container. put a sheet or two of toilet paper (flat, not crumpled/rolled) in the funnel.
Holding the funnel over your seal-able container slowly/carefully pour the liquid layer from your disposable container through the toilet paper+funnel
If you'd like it more filtered than that you can put it through a coffee filter, but it will likely still be translucent, anyway, the impurities = turmeric, no biggie.
Voila! - SWIM isn't sure how much curcumin is in the turmeric
SWIM did it on 125g of turmeric and got about 70ml of oil which is active at .8ml and quite strong at 1.6ml
You can definitely repeat step 2+3 again and test the potency, SWIM had ~40 doses and a full container so he didn't try another pull.
Make sure it is stored either in a dark room or in a tinted/tape wrapped container to protect it from the sun, curcumin has documented photo-degradation/photo-oxidization properties.
Administration:
There are 3 methods:
Smoking - works find but it is quite harsh, not too tasty and there will be oil left over
Oral - works but only a portion of the strength
Sublingual administration - strongest effects - SWIM's favorite method
For sublingual administration SWIM's method which is very easy and effective for him and anyone he's given it too is:
Squirt the dose into your mouth
Swish it around your mouth for 1-2 minutes
gargle
swish it around for 1-2 minutes more
gargle
spit out.
(wipe the yellow from your teeth with a tissue)
It's not bad, tastes weakly like turmeric and alone the effects come on in 5-10 minutes. They are somewhat harmala-like, slightly stimulating and last 1.5-2.5 hours at the peak.
SWIM has smoked DMT twice after sublingual turmeric and it increase and drastically changed the visuals+head-space. Very odd visuals indeed, though he hasn't had a full breakthrough w/ curcumin
SWIM's roomie and friend still rage about curcumin + cannabis. The are self-admittedly BIG potheads and they were saying "it's like the first time I smoked pot" and they were very impressed by the combination
Hope you enjoy the tek!
