I know this is in the wrong place, but I can't post anywhere else... If a mod could move it.. Cheers.
I was taught as a kid to find native sassafras, cut in down dig out the root and carefully harvest the root bark. My dad taught this to me as his father taught him. I was told the Indians made a tea with it that was a stimulant and would use it before hunting, battles.. Etc... (My dad's half and passed on many little trinkets of knowledge like this)
The catch was I could never have any as a kid, but when I got older I tried the tea and loved the flavor but wondered what else I could do with it.
I started an experiment that turned into a tek and I'm honestly not sure what is being extracted in the process but I do know it's effects and they are nice. Here,s the tek it's simple and I'm hoping you nexians might be able to suggest the best way to go about getting them tested.
So here's the tek...
Materials two ounces sassafras root bark inner
5 garms of lye
100 ml of vinegar
1.5 l of water
Steel pot with cover
Coffee grinder
900 ml of ethanol
100 proof corn alcohol or ISP works
Grind sassafras in coffee grinder add powder to pot with vinegar and water. Bring to a boil then start reducing til water level is just above the grindings (as your reducing and bringing to a boil keep pot covered).
Then let the grindings/soup cool add lye slowly and stir as you do, it should turn a deep purple if not add a few more grams up to ten.
Before you add lye add the soup to a pyrex pie dish or something similar.
Once that is complete pour some ethanol on to the soup. I always wait til the reaction is completely done and cool.
Let sit somewhere warm and agitate by stirring every 10 minutes for an hour.
Give it one last good stir, then cover the dish in ceran wrap and stick it in your freezer. Leaving it there long enough for the polar lye level to freeze. Then pour off thee alcohol into a brownie dish and place under a fan to evaporate.
Do a few more pulls until it's exhausted.
The resulting product will be white powder kind of sticky with a few brownish crumby bits as well. I found that a gram of this in the bottom of a cup of tea that's sweet with light milk tastes great. You can barely taste the final product in it.
From what I've read safrole and iso safrole is dissolvable in alcohol so I think it's what I'm pulling but I'm really not sure. It's an energetic yet calming buzz like a pslightly psychedelic Valium but with an adderall like focus
No fast beating heart or anything else related to speeding.
Is there anyone else who has done anything similar?
Is there anyone who can suggest a place to get it tested?
Are there any chemists who know what most likely would be extracted using the above method?
