Below is a Report a close friend of mine sent me asking for any advise or answers.

So recently i Preformed a extract of 300g of Acacia Confusa, Heres the thing though I am 95% sure that this bark is indeed confusa, and 5% that it isnt, but let me go over how i extracted.
First i used lex tek and went ahead and simmered bark in acidified water PH of 4, for about an hr total of 2times.
Added both boils, and reduced.

Secound i Put reduced liquids in jug, after it had cooled i basified with Sodium Hydroxide till i got a PH of 13
After Basifying liquid was Dark Dark Bloody red.

Third i did first pull using Naptha instead of Shelite, siphoned the two layers apart did a total of 2 pulls.
added the pulls and Acidified again PH 4
Separated those two layers ^
Then Basified that Acidic Water PH 13 agian

Then Finally i Did my final Pulls, after three pulls i had a full jar of naptha, and since i didn't get to reducing it on a hot plate i just let it sit outside for approx a week and the naptha reduced to a desired amount, and was a creamy color.

Freeze Precip for i would say about 22 hours i had what looked like some fluffy white Spice.
The questions i really have concerning this is i am not sure if what i have is Spice, i dissolved most of what i collected in some warm naptha and separated the naptha from the gunk at the bottom of the shot glass, once the oily gunk was removed it almost hardened instantly, i had also tried vaporizing it over some cannabis to see if there was any noticeable effects but mainly just got a taste of moth balls, Maybe i didnt try enough? maybe it shouldn't be on top of cannabis?

On the right is the supposedly spice, and the left is the gunk i am left with after dissolving in naptha.
Anyone have any advice or answers on how one could figure out if my friends stuff is spice or not?
 
I Appologize for his unclear image i will try to get some more images from him soon.
 
So you freeze precipitated and recrystallized? And it smells of spice?

Maybe try to find a better smoking method? Of course GVG is recommended but if you cant afford that, try ash sandwich in a bong/pipe, go easy on the lighter.

Also check this thread out for some tips regarding 'is this ok to smoke' (though thread was written for mimosa, but general tips should still be valid)


good luck and tell us how it goes

btw what was the yield so far?
 
Yes he preciped and recrystallized and he told me that it smells more like coke? he does not do coke obv but has two times and knows the distinct smell of that stuff. If you can see in this picture after recrystallization white stuff formed a nice ring at the top of were the solvent was.
Seems to be more of a powder than crytal.

And as far a the yield goes he told me surprisingly low for 300g but he wasnt looking for a large yield i think he said something like a gram or a little more.
