Hi endlessness! Thanks for the reply as I noticed you always reply to other new members. It makes us feel welcomed!:d
When it comes to psychedelics I've done LSD, DMT, and a couple low dose psilocybin experiences. Psychedelics to me should be used as tools to reconnect yourself back with the infinite.
For extractions I've done 5 STB teks with MHRB learning new things and increasing yields with each project. There was quite a few threads I found that you posted in where I got some great information. The best advice I got from you was when you said that ratios didn't matter that much.
"SWIM already did extractions with 1g bark:1g lye:15ml water, and it worked fine.. He also did 1g bark:0.7g lye: 15ml water, also worked fine. He already also did 1g bark:0.3g lye: 9ml water, also worked no prob.. All of them he got around 1% yield
less water makes separation of solvent slower, but doesnt affect the yield. SWIM has heard that with less water than 1:1:15, the solvent doesnt separate at all, it gets trapped in the thick mimosa acqueous layer, but it never happened to him.
Less lye, with powdered bark, also doesnt make so much of a difference, at most it increases the chances of emulsions, but SWIM stirs and doesnt shake, and the few times it did happen he either added a bit more lye or pure salt and it made the emulsions disappear"
That quote has defiantly helped me and I thank you for positing it.
I'm actually going to school for chemistry here In the summer so I'll use what I learn there to improve my projects and share what I learn with the rest of the Nexus.
Thanks for welcoming me to the Nexus!
