When it comes to LSA...

[PantsR4squares]

There is reason to believe that peppermint has great synergy with LSA. Though there doesn't look to be out right facts about its relationship, there are many user reports that claim its magic when taking with rather then unblended. Which is credible to me. I have a variety of forms of peppermint, fresh leaf, pure peppermint essential oil, pure peppermint extract the kind for baking. For my question is if anyone has a hastily creditworthy option on which to use, such input would be appreciated as I want to test my extract tomorrow.

have you tried it?

I have an fresh extract of 250 HBWR Seeds.. wanna try it this week with a bit of peppermint oil (for my first time)

I've tried the Sgt Pepper's Ice Tea method on a few occasions, but it never seems to change the nature of the experience aside from a more minty stomach, which helps a little for the nausea. I've tried peppermint extract as well as cinnamon essential oil, with no effect aside from mintiness or spiciness in the stomach.

I usually let the simple mint/morning glory tea sit for about 12-24 hours. According to the people on the HerbMax forum, any sort of conversion would occur in an acidic and preferably alcoholic environment. I'm not sure I buy it, since it's all theoretical, but according to rumor it does change the experience for some people, so... :?:

If I were you, I'd try the theoretical LSH conversion in water (and maybe alcohol) at a pH of 4 or less. Ascorbic acid, being an antioxidant too, would be a good choice.

Personally, I don't have any desire to change the morning glory experience, aside from cleaning up the quality of extraction. Just knocking out the stomach upset would help very much.

Happy experimenting, take good notes :thumb_up:

Interesting stuff, kerelsk.
I was wondering when someone who tried the combinations would report
that the effects weren't necessarily augmented.

and while it may be true that an acidic environment would faciliate a reductive alkylation reaction, people are assuming the oils in question contain the required concentration of the aldehydes for the reaction to occur. I certainly don't buy it.

Benzyme I am not satisfied either. I know a decent amount about terpenes being that they would certainly be higher in essential oils. So I lean more towards the essential oil path. Though I am unsure if terpenes are the corporate in the reaction people experience. Hence my question, I am intrigued by user accounts, but not satisfied as fact, the for mentioned question won't get me anywhere, I am sure when it does it will be loudly announced.
Kash's advanced extract was followed pretty exact, minus a few differences. The vacuum filter kit I ordered had faulty parts so I was forced to filter through multiple mid speed filter papers and coffee filters which probably led to some seed mush. During the second evap/sep I discovered emulsions. I used a syringe instead of my sep funnel which I took up both the emulsion and aqueous layer for final evap. Also the seeds were cheapest on the web. ( Being the first attempted extract I did not want to waste materials. ) 100 hbwr claimed HW strain.

The product was split between two with absences of food for 16 + hours. Peppermint baking liquid flavoring was used. Very mild euphoria come up, constant yawns and dreamy feeling. Sleepiness occurred it was pursued with no break through. Nothing more persisted.
