suggestions for smalls steps into changa

[3rdI]

interesting 8)

so say 1g of powdered syrian rue (water extract) ... and then say 20 mg of enhanced leaf?
would that slow that whole thing down?

i wouldnt advise a gram of rue extract, thats alot, if you have have rue extracted harmalas id start with 200-250mg, drink or cap them then wait til you can feel them working and then start smoalking, yum yum.

Or, extract Harmalas from rue, dissolve them into IPA and infuse with the enhanced leaf. Let the IPA evaporate, Then you'll have changa. I may be wrong, but I don't think there is any rule about "when" the enhanced lead can be turned into changa. so, if you want to make changa... Do it!


Plus, extracting Harmala is pretty fun. I love watching the Harmala HCl crystals grow. That's my favorite part

As I understand it, harmalas have poor solubility in IPA. Correct me if I'm wrong!

what would you use instead?
we can't get 90% IPA here ... the most we can't over the counter is 35%

what would you use instead?

Vodka.

Any special kind of vodka?

How about naphta?

I said vodka, mainly cause it conatains ethanol and just a very few tasting agents, which would alter the taste of your product. The thing with vodka is, that your product will take longer time to dry, cause of high water content.

Naphta would work too, i guess. But personaly I woudn't want infuse my herbs with a petrolium destilate. Especially not, when I don't know if there are additives in it.

People also use acetone.

thank you brother
will look into the acetone

I most recently used acetone(after I had recommended IPA). I liked it better than IPA or ethanol.

Excellent ... that i can definitely get
Any special tips you can offer to make it work best

thanks

I used a very small amount of acetone to dissolve 500mg of the molecule and about 400mg of FB harmala. Then I added ~700mg of dried, crushed tea leaves. I set the evap dish next to sunny window and waited for a few hours - checking and stirring periodically.

In your case, since you've already got the enhanced leaf, id just dissolve the harmalas in a minimal amount of acetone, and then add the leaf. Stir periodically, let dry, enjoy! I imagine that it goes with out saying, but be sure to let the acetone completely evaporate. There should be no residual smells of the solvent.

thank you brother!
i'm not gonna touch the enhanced leaf since i didn't make it myself
i in the middle of my first STB ... yessss!
