Hello!
Recently I made 2 extracts of wormwood in my soxhlet. The first was 12g of wormwood extracted with acetone for around 3 hours, then evaporated on a Petri dish. What left was 0,5g of solid dark green tarry residue that I mixed with 0,7g tobacco to produce a 10x extract.
The second was with 32g of wormwood extracted with 97% ethanol for about 7 hours, then evaporated on a Petri dish. What left was a dark greenish oily goo, after 1 day of evaporating it hasn't solidified much yet. Initially I thought of mixing it with tobacco too but if it won't get more solid I don't know how will I weight it and how much tobacco I need to use.
And anyway I'm not sure if this is the right way to smoke it (mixed with tobacco). I tried to smoke the first extract in a small glass pipe. I became very sleepy, after I closed my eyes dreams were coming quite intensively even before I felt to sleep. I'm not sure if it was just because it was late, it might have been placebo.
Has anyone tried to smoke wormwood or wormwood extract? Any advise?
I'm not even sure if a 10x extract is strong or weak...
