Thanks for the link, sounds interesting-- Will check it out.

If I understand correctly, Transform speculates that tannin removal with lime on a vodka tincture could result in a very pure tincture. I have no opinion one way or the other, but it seems in any a case a promising route for arriving at an extract that is less taxing to the digestive system.

So far I have indeed fully evaporated the alcohol extractions and encapsulated them. However, I have my suspicion that the gel cap approach correlates with a) delayed onset (see my previous posts in this thread) and b) a not very intense but lingering, uncomfortable nausea that persists until the next day (even if the nausea during the experience itself is minimal).

So, I will be experimenting in the future with re-dissolving the residue in a non-alcoholic liquid, some options: a) coca cola, b) orange juice, c) water, d) water + a squirt of lemon juice. The downside would doubtless be taste, but if it removes the delayed onset and lingering nausea this would be worth it. Not a big fan of the idea of cola and orange juice because sugar tends to correlate with a fluttery mind, but many people seem to recommend it because of their acidity. In any case, this would be a way of not having to consume any of the alcohol used in your extraction.
