Harmalas extraction-syrian rue (by SAKKADELIC)

Migrated topic.

That should definitely be enough. No idea then of what could be happening.


For that specific use you can just either dissolve it in water with some vinegar (tastes very bad but works), or in some acidic juice. When taking oral, extracted harmalas I always dissolve my freebase in orange juice. The acid converts it into salt form.

Ok, thanks @blig-blug , I'll give it a chance and see if a few hours more in the fridge can help, otherwise, I'll have to stay with this failing feeling 😅

Hey, so, I retrieved the freebase (which means I still have harmalas in the soup), dissolved again in hot water and vinegar, ended up with 180ml,, warmed it, I added 180ml of saturated hot water (there were salt crystals remaining at the bottom, left it to cool down at room temp for 4 hours then stored it in the fridge. Now it's been 18 hours and as you can see in the photo nothing seems to be happening.
I've been struggling with it for weeks now, so I'm starting to think I will retrieve freebase again and work with this... unless someone here have an idea...

That's a bummer, and it's really strange, I don't know what could be going on. The color of the solution looks off to me, it's too light, but since the harmalas are dissolving I don't know what's going on. Here's a picture for reference from the last time I did manske, I took it when the xtals started forming, but you can see how strong the color is compared to yours.

The freebase is more universal in terms of usage, it can be used for the different ROAs or dissolved in a minimal amount of acid if needed. For long term storage the salt is better.

Yes indeed, the color is very different in yours. I guess I'll go back to freebase form and see if I try a Manske on a future Rue extraction.
Thanks again! 🙏
