lsa moldy?

[remediosvaro]

r had a vial of 10ml lsa citrate solution he made a while ago. never used it, but today when he was checking if it reacted under a blacklight he noticed some small things floating in the solution. by the way, how much is lsa supposed to glow, this is a very light blue green color, and i think i got very little lsa in the solution... anyway i filtered the small floaters, then sanitized the vial with bleach. the syringe i used to put the lsa back in the vial must have contained some harmalas, even though i washed it like 5 times, because when i looked at it with a blacklight it was bright green and super bright in a blacklight.

- so is this stuff not safe? hoping to hear from kash about this one, he seems to be a master with lsa...

Your call for help has been heard!

Mildly acidic aqueous solutions of extract (not just lsa) are prone to mold, thats why it should be stored in alcohol. I would not recommend consuming it, but you could try rebasing and pull it with some np solvent. If there is a resin after evapping the np, the freebase can be consumed immediately, or can be converted to the tincture for storage. You could test to see if the resin glows but it sounds like you contaminated it with harmals. GL.:thumb_up:

i agree- if mold has formed- toss it
and start over

in a citric acid solution, this doesn't surprise me.
aerobes can incorporate the citrate ions in their metabolism

Beware of all unknown mold!

I have had amazing experiences with LSA but I have also been brainwashed and preyed on by people who have scarred my life. Do you find that LSA is somewhat dissasociative? The patterns can get so overwhelming it can get difficult to see. And its effect on an individuals body is so overbearing, it can severely "couchlock" you. I do not know how it effects the GABA neurotransmitters in a user's brain but I imagine something must be happening to them....


Food for Thought!

im going to do an acid base and try again by storing it in alcohol.

also, lsa completely makes r not want to move. two seeds, and r can barely walk, its just so much work. at 5 seeds, r was stuck in one place, the room expanded, it looked like it was miles long... anyway there is definitely something in those seeds that makes it so you cant move very much.

also would this be a way to store it.

-take my lsa solution and freebase with sodium bicarbonate solution
-drop toluene on top and swirl, leave for a while then separate.
-acid out with vinegar water at ph 3
-evaporate, the acetic acid will evaporate, so when i redissolve the residue in ethanol, it will be in salt form without being in acidic conditions. also alcohol will probably stop mold from growing
