storing in plastic jugs?

[PrimateSphinx]

ok nexus I have a quick question,
my pet tuatara has some old basic mimosa solution and he stored them in plastic jugs for lack of a better thing to store them in and to do a later jungle extraction with. I read that storing mimosa solution in plastic can lead to toxins seeping into the solution from the plastic, is this true? The friend of the dinosaurs was wondering if this solution is contaminated and worthless now or if he is free do to jungle pulls on it. If so he has some solution stored in glass that should be fine but I was just wondering for my little reptiles' sake if the solution in plastic is good to go or not, him not being able to type and such.

Get real- Your pets can't do chemistry. Everyone knows this.

Yes it's true, they are called plasticizers, and they leech even when doing a normal extraction. It doesn't help matters to store it for long periods of time, which are notorious for spouting leaks.

Get it done and recrystallize your product.

Oh you haven't met my pets So would you say that the mimosa solution I have that is in plastic jugs is useless now? And what is this about recrystallizing? I didn't mention anything about recrystallizing. The question is pertaining to whether or not the aforementioned mimosa solution in plastic is usable for a jungle extraction or not. Is it?

Yeah, it is, I was just trying to reduce your exposure to plasticizers. You can smoke it straight out of the solvent if you want... I wouldn't.

Cool, thanks a ton house. I'll dump out that ol' nasty plastic contaminated stuff and use the solution I've been storing in glass.

I think the general consensus is that if it's HDPE you *can* use it but you might be exposing yourself to what house and the OP were talking about. While this is probably nothing life-threatening, I suppose that if it can be avoided, it should be, since it's your health that's at stake.

That being said... you must be doing huge extractions if you have to reduce your mimosa tea to make it fit into gallon jugs... Please be responsible about what you do with your spice...

I think you missed the point OP..

What House was trying to say (from what I can understand)is:

YES the plastic will leach into your basic solution. YES it could very well be contaminated (RIGHT NOW AS WE TYPE)

The recrystallization comes into play AFTER you have made use of the “plasticated” basic solution, to attempt removal of any impurities.

You COULD throw plastic basic solution away, that is up to you if you have enough supplies / ample bark. However, to work sparingly, I would finish up pulls, re-x, and then stick to glass from then on out.

Good luck

Cheers


OH wow and it's a 2 year old thread :? I can be pretty daft at times

so in chat today people told me that my extraction jugs were no good cuz they need to be #2 but theyre #1. i found this out because one of them started leaking and people said that that means my dmt is contaminated with plastic and so i checked the bottle because they said it had to be hdpe and its not. i drained out the extraction into a glass bowl because i wanted to know if theres anyway i can save the extraction. they said i had to get rid of it in chat but that seemed like a waste. i know it could be dangerous but i just couldnt throw it out with making a post about it like i said i would in chat just to make sure and so that other people wouldnt mess up the same way.

when i poured the extraction out of the bottle and put the bottle aside i had to leave. when i came home later the bottle was all warped and messed up. i was wondering if it was warped before i poured the extraction out but i just couldnt see it cuz the extraction was pushing the sides of the bottle out. basically im worried that my other extraction jugs might also be messed up even though they dont look warped and arent leaking as far as i can see.

i know i shouldnt use plastic and im looking into glass. i just dont want to waste any precious mhrb now that its all gone. supplies always seem to shrink faster than i expect especially now that people have told me that the colored dmt is no good and the plastic dmt has to be tossed. i really dont want to have to throw it away. is there anyway to clean the dmt from the plastic jug? if there is can i clean the colored dmt the same way?

i keep looking for the answers to these questions usuing the search engine here and google but the only answer i keep finding is to toss it all. i guess im just hoping theres a different answer that im just not finding which is the only reason im asking. i really appreciate all the help that everyone in chat has given me and the people on the forum too. it means a lot. i thought i had this whole process down a while ago and pretty much got caught up in life and stopped coming around. now im back and it seems like ive just been making a mess of things the whole time.

uh... I'm not sure what to say...

the plastic dmt *may* be cleaned if you find a solvent that doesn't dissolve dmt but dissolves plastic. I personally don't know of any, and would not be sure in how to clean it up. Though it may hurt, I would toss it.

What is colored dmt and how did you get it?

 

[Pup Tentacle]

Use glass and free yourself of doubt. :thumb_up:

 

[DubDoubt]

the colored dmt crystals were red/pink and blue and the goo was a greenish goo. i thought the red was jungle but no one has answered when ive asked if that is the case. people told me to read more and everything ive read says that red is jungle so i think thats safe but i dont know and dont want to hurt myself or other people so i wanted to make sure. i got the colored dmt by doing an acid/base and using colemans as the solvent. the bottles dont look the same but its all colemans and i thought i saw that colemans was safe a back when i started extracting but since i came back to the nexus it looks like i was wrong.

So you're saying you used Coleman's (I assume camping fuel or something?) to do all of your extractions and you got red, blue, and green dmt?

If you didn't use xylene/toluene/limonene, you don't have "jungle spice," you have contaminated DMT. As people have been telling you, if you have contaminated DMT, you need to get rid of it, as it could be hazardous to your health. Can you really put a price on your health when you can always extract more DMT?

Please don't smoke what you have and definitely don't give it to other people. Have you been giving/dosing people with colored or plastic-infused DMT? If you have, you should stop dosing anyone and tell anyone you gave it to, so that they don't keep smoking it.

You really don't want to play around with your health or anyone else's. Please take some time and do some reading. It's good to see that you're concerned about the problems you have caused; now take the appropriate steps to make sure you don't make these or similar mistakes in the future.

EDIT: Also...how much DMT are you extracting that you are reducing your extractions to multiple one-gallon containers??? :shock:

 

[DubDoubt]

i didnt use any of the solvents you said so i guess i dont have jungle and i understand what youre saying about health. it just sucks to lose all that dmt

i had been giving people the colored dmt and smoking it and letting others smoke it. ive been trying to call or get in touch with everyone who got the colored dmt from me but its hard to track everyone down or get in touch with them. one of the people i was able to get in touch with has respiratory failure and i straight up cant get in touch with some of the other people. then there are people who i just dont know how to get in touch with. im really scared ive hurt people. amygadala said in chat that if i wasnt feeling any symptoms im probably ok but it seems like at least one person and maybe more are having health problems and im scared its my fault.

i was curious so i emptied some of the other extraction jugs and in one evening they all warped too. so i guess there has been plastic in all of the dmt plus the antirusting things or whatever the colored stuff is. i dont know much about this stuff but it seems really bad. i was sure i had everything down and really confident in my extractions but now i guess i need to find new solvents. i found gallon mason jars yesterday so thats taken care of but without clean solvent i dont want to extract again. i guess i should probably empty the other extraction containers too. maybe one of the chemists knows a way to clean this stuff up?

i saw a post by endlessness that talked about converting the freebase to frumarate and using acetone to clean out plastics. would this work for the antirusting stuff too? if it does could i just finish the extraction and then turn all the freebase to frumarate and wash it all with acetone? would that clean it all up and make it safe? im not going to use any of this dmt now and im getting everything together to do this right in the future. im still just sad to have to throw it all out and thought that worst case it would just sit here as i wait for any more information. you guys are all really helpful and its really great to be able to come here and ask these questions. i feel like i went from expert to n00b in a few days.

Seriously, how much DMT are you extracting? It sounds like you have a LOT of 1 gallon extraction vessels. Why?? What are you doing with all of this DMT? I should remind you we have a strict No Selling stance here. Please re-read the Attitude.
