Viracocha
..still lc..
this stems from: http://www.dmt-nexus.me/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3030 I'm thinking more and more that maybe those yellow/orange impurities actually add significantly (and in a good way) to the trip.. The first time i smoked dmt it was the BEST EVER and not in the standard 'the first joint i smoked was sooo good, none have been the same since' way, i mean it always took me to a specific place, very playful, clown jester girls with neat tricks, lots of ice cream lol very much like a circus, my circus.. and everytime i smoked this particular blend (pau d'arco changa (pm me if you've tried this one - melbourne + sydney)) - and all other blends have taken me elsewhere; yet i maintain this pau d'arco blend ALWAYS took me there i don't know what it is about that one, but i fucking loved it (not to be found again), and although i never saw the actual crystal that went into the leaf, i have a suspicion that maybe it was this oily gunky funky orange stuff i keep hearing about even spice ala the Lex tek (granted the spice is ultra-pure) does not take me to this place (i guess plant source / age / etc... has something to do with it also) anyway, to the point I want to find someone with access to MHRB who can perform comparative extractions (LexTek and MHRB Standard like Noman or Marsofold style) on the same batch of bark? ie, get 200 grams perform a standard extraction on 100g of the bark (please report which tek is used, but the idea is either an A/B to freeze precip like Marsofolds maybe with rextal, or a STB Noman style with or without rex) and perform the LexTek on the other 100g of bark LexTek: http://erowid.org/general/submissions/review_temp/LexTek_v1.pdf Actually, if you're really keen to experiment, how about get 300grams and: a) 100grams Noman style no rextal b) 100grams Noman style with rextal c) 100grams Coschi style (as is) Take photos of final products (and report yields), bio-essay and report qualitative differences (remember to try and keep all variable as constant as possible, eg: residual fucked'ness from the previous (or present) night) Muchos kudos to the taker of this extremely important task ..and now that i think of it, perhaps a little incentive a few hundred grams of acacia bark 8)
--- on that note, this is what has been previously found per batch using A/B... clear crystals smoke the best and are obviously the most potent. MUCH more potent...also, the density caused by the crystal makes it smoke easier and makes it hit harder. white powder is purer than yellow powder/crystals, but is harder to smoke because it is so fluffy. also, is more likely to burn than crystals. very little harshness. yellow crystals smoke much like clear crystals only are much harsher and create a larger pool of oil. yellow powder is the much like what you would think. brownish goo can get one very high, but is the harshest. still...if done right, it is very dense and can get one to the place. once, due to a LARGE change in humidity, yellow crystals/powder turned into a yellow goo. This stuff was possibly the 'hardest' to smoke, but could be mixed in with things in such a way that a pipe could be given 15-20 hits easy...gave great highs and allowed everyone to participate. no bioassays done... so, I guess the most conclusive thing that could be reached here besides the obvious is that generally not having a harsh smoking experience helps contribute to early relaxation and a good experience. good luck with this.
