Is older root bark still potent?

[Allegro Vivo]

I have some I root bark from early 2020. It's been sitting in its original plastic bag (yeah, I know, I prolly should have transferred it) in a dark and fairly cool closet since then.

Is it still viable?

Many thanks.

My Mimosa Hostilis Root Bark (MHRB), which is over 10 years old, now still yields approximately 2% using Cyb's hybrid tek. Interestingly, it might seem to contain more of the oligomerization 'oily' DMT now than it did initially.

HUGE caveat with this: about 10 years ago, I used a simple Noman tek STB (Straight-To-Base) method for extraction and only achieved a yield of around 1% back then.

And another piece of important information: I stored my MHRB in ziplock bags and kept it in the attic, where temperatures have varied over the years from approximately 15°C to 35°C (59°F to 95°F).

TL;DR: There is no clear evidence that MHRB loses its potency over time?


Kind regards,

The Traveler

I've known of bark far older than either of these instances still yielding admirable amounts of product. It definitely keeps.

Thanks very much, Traveler and Transform. I am relieved!
