I think up to 115 F in the oven would be ok. But a food dehydrator would be better because of the fan. It would dry it faster. The less its exposed to heat, the better.
I dare all of you who think mescaline is heat stable to put all of your precious mescaline in the oven at 300 F for 1 hour. Take it out and then test out a dose orally. HA HA HA HA. I dare you to do it!!!
You’ll be so sorry you did.
Ron,
mescaline HCL is relativly heat stable isn't it?
My friends food dehydrator is typically done at 145f is that not safe?
I think
mescaline HCl is more heat stable than
mescaline acetate, but not much more so.
At some point SWIM or someone else here will probably do some tests to find out exactly which temperatures cause different forms of
mescaline to degrade. Until that information is found, I suggest using as little heat as possible. Fan drying with a little heat is the best.
SWIM has an Excalibur food dehydrator that he uses. This has adjustable heat from 95-155 F. He uses it at 110-115 F and that seems to be ok for
mescaline acetate and
mescaline HCl.
Mescaline’s heat stability seems to also be very much time oriented, and dry heat seems worse for it. I think this has something to do with it oxidizing in dry heat. But I really don’t know for sure.
As of yet, SWIM has not done any temperature specific tests, but has always found that higher heat means a less potent end product. Too many other people have noticed potency loss when too much dry heat is used to dry their
mescaline. Boiling
mescaline in water seems less damaging to the molecule.
Clearly we need more tests done.
