Looking for feedback on how to torch "bufo" [Incilius alvarius venom] in a flask

[downhome]

I've done bufo with providers in the past and decided to grab my own using a flask since I can't afford to do it that way. I know you need to get the temp right when torching it in the erlenmeyer flask. My question is how sensitive is it to releasing chemicals, how worried do you really need to be?

My current test will be to use a very low dose where I will not blast the flask glass with the flame itself but hold it close to get the bufo bubbling while lightly rotating the glass.

Can someone give me more specific instructions for how they do it and provide some feedback? Obviously I'm doing extremely low dosing until I get a good feel for it.

do you have an infrared thermometer? that would be helpful in the early learning stages

The sad story of Bufotenin:

10 years ago 69ron wrote Bufotenin is the most colourful and least psychedelic cousin from the Trio of DMT, 5-MeO-DMT and 5-OH-DMT (Bufotenin). It would give strong CEV and OEV with patterns and colours and would not be harsh to smoke when pure. As it happened quite some times before that he made exaggerating reviews on a substance, this may have needed more verification by others. Many people tried, but reported to only extract amber to black stuff from A. colubrina seeds, which give a harsh vapor with strong vasoconstriction - also reported by 1950's...

"Bufo" here it's referring to Bufo alvarius / Incilius alvarius venom. It's a common name for it that's also very unfortunate as it seems to be referring to bufotenin, you don't actually smoke the toad, and the toad is not even in the Bufo genus anymore.

Aha! But still…

Here is some nice information about toads and venom.

Toad, Truth, and the Trouble with 5-MeO: Why Bufo alvarius Needs Our Protection

The Sonoran Desert toad (Incilius alvarius, formerly Bufo alvarius) produces 5-MeO-DMT in its skin. Demand for that molecule now pressures a fragile animal. Retreats and celebrity stories fuel it. The result is stress on a wild species and its habitat. This piece is pro-facts, pro-ecology, and...
