SWIM did a STB/FASA on Chaliponga that had a strange ending. He defatted an ounce of Chali with just a xylene quick wash and then cooked a tea in a crock pot with lye for a couple of hours. To this he added xylene (two 100ml washes)and let set for an hour mixing well. He then took the two washes and combined them and added FASA and immediately had crystals cloud the solvent. He left the solvent overnight to fall out of the solvent and the next day had a fair amount of white powdery crystals at the bottom of the jar that it was in. He poured off the xylene and was going to do a quick wash with acetone. When he added the acetone all the white powdery crystals immediately dissolved into the acetone! This caught him by suprise. He evaped off the acetone in a glass pan and scraped up about 60mg white powder which he is thinking is Chali jungle spice fumerate. He took 20mg with 50 mg each of harmine hcl and thh and got an above baseline experience with lots of colors but not strong enough, he then smoked 20mg MHRB freebase spice to give him an about 15 - 20 minute full on experience that faded quickly down to above baseline and then faded to baseline. He's thinking of freebasing the remaining Chali spice so that he can smoke it to find out just how strong it really is but he's confused as to what happened when he went to do the acetone wash. He's also thinking about trying a 14 gram chali tea after a Harmine 120mg/THH 80mg preparation but that's a different subject. Any ideas about what happened when he added the acetone to the precipitated spice from the xylene FASA?

Sounds like wet acetone. 60mg isn't a whole lot and any amount of water contamination in the acetone could eat that right up. SWIM's glad SWIY managed to retrieve it though.

SWIM had dried the acetone with the baked epsom salt dissicant. Maybe it didn't dry out the acetone properly. Now he has some food grade anhydrous magnesium sulfate that he'll be using and maybe he'll have better luck. Thanks
