Stoked to be here

[medaase]

Hey all, I'm a big fan of the work the nexus has done over the years. I've become quite proficient at harmala extraction, so much so that I can do it on complete autopilot, all thanks to the pioneering, though now somewhat dated work I'm familiar with by contributors here.

I randomly tuned back in to see about having a little fun... Making other salts, fumarates, citrates, etc... And imagine my surprise when I realized that the state of the art of harmala extractions has advanced significantly! My five or six hour long acetic acid boils are downright primitive! I have some chemistry training... I have a bit of experience with chromatography, etc.

My real focus is on voacanga-derived ibogaine. The profile picture is a voacangine crystal recrystallized in methanol. Looking forward to participating a bit and sharing some notes from my own experiments, and continuing to learn from the amazing people on this forum.

The word "medaase" means "Thank you" in Twi, something I learned during some time in West Africa studying voacanga africana and tabernanthe iboga.

Glad to be here,
Medaase

Hello, @medaase,

Glad to have you here with us. People with knowledge like yours are very valuable to the community, and your work and experience will be an invaluable addition to the ever-growing body of knowledge present herein.

And especially considering the iboga experts around here are few and far between, I think you'll fit right in and fill an important niche that needs more knowledge and ingenuity.

Looking forward to read through your experiments and see your results!

Take care
