Trying to improve Acacia information

[_Trip_]

I've also gotten the same results from acuminata phyllodes in the past. a/b extraction with shellite yields brown/orange goo that smells like dmt but doesn't combust (can't smoke it) and doesn't give a high. it's likely a problem with the solvent. should probably use something other than bunnings Shellite to be honest

How are you smoking it @makkapakka? Surprising it doesn't combust as you say.

Defat/de-oil steps are compulsory with most native Australian acacia species ime. I found putting the initial pulls straight to acidic solution in another vessel, agitate and then pull the solution out from under the solvent, then base and continue from there, is a workable way to remove all the oils. Otherwise it's just a mess in the end, the product is suitable for tanning saddles.
