I'm very curious about the toasting aspect myself.SWIM found that an impure A. colubrina A/B extract (using DCM as the non-polar solvent), when toasted at 300 F for 30 minutes, releases some smoke, and after that smoke is released the end result is stronger and less nauseating. Some toxic alkaloid or something else seems to vaporize away and leave behind the bufotenine. It seems to be a good purification step if one can’t recrystallize the bufotenine.But according to Jorkest’s post, toasting reduced the potency for oral use. This is very curious. Why would the potency after toasting decrease for oral use and increase for smoking it? Does anyone have any ideas on this?
