Well, I'm just going to talk a bit about my experience with Spice as a way of saying hello and introducing myself to this community.
This all started back in 2003, when I stumbled upon the Terrence McKenna library online. I voraciously consumed his lectures, if only for his mesmerizing vocabulary and oratory skills. I had mostly resigned myself to never possibly finding the Spice. That was until 2005. I picked up 56 grams of MHRB and some laboratory gear, including a sep funnel. The yields were so disappointing that I pretty much gave up. I had a mild level 1-2 effect. Six months later, I tried again with a bit more. This time I was determined to break through. I came upon about 250 grams of MHRB and put the entirety of my extraction into my vape pipe and fired it up. I reached only about level 2-3. Conclusion--don't bother weighing, the limiting factor will be lung capacity and hanging on long enough, let's suppose, to take a second toke. This might be a good question to pose to the forum--how long do you hold it in for?
Now, three and a half years later, a friend of mine tells me he knows someone who can get Spice. I emphasized how much it would mean to me if he could make this happen, and included a elucidation on the potential of the Spice, as far as the "breakthrough" experience at level 4-5. Well, things fell apart for reasons I won't go into b/c they violate the terms of this forum. Long story short, I decided to give extraction another try myself rather than deal with the B.S.
I followed Marsofold's A/B technique and am pretty happy with the yield, though I would like to do a straight-to-base and aim for that tantalizing 1% reported yield. One thing I've noticed that I'm doing right is that I never get any yellow/orange color, my regular process yields pearl-white crystals. Perhaps I can share some of my techniques at a later time.
Anyhow, I look forward to becoming involved in the community.
