Hello fellow nexusers! I just have a quick question regarding MHRB.

My "friend" recently got a supply of shredded? or whole MH root bark??

it is in hard long somewhat skinny pieces of bark.

Can this just be put in some kind of blending machine that will turn it into powder and the powder is ready to go and be used in an extraction right?

"He" has only recieved pre-powdered root bark from vendors never the actual bark and had to powder it himself, so any help is greatly appreciated!

Freeze it overnight to make it brittle and then 5 mins in a glass blender with a lot of shaking...= powder..
Also a bit of tin foil under the lid stops the powder getting up your nose...yuk

The powder used to seem to be a pinker color, while the bark is a bit pinkish brown, more darker than the powder...


is this ok or does this denote anything about the quality?

and what does Jurema mean? I have seen it places and am just curious, is jurema just the name of the plant that MHRB comes from orrr. .. ? I thought it was mimosa hostilis or are mimosa hostilis the same thing or two different plants that both have active ingrediants?


Thanks!

Take the pieces and wrap them in a towel. Use a hammer to break the pieces into smaller pieces and put them into a Coffee Grinder...

This is always difficult to tell if you don´t even show a picture...

If you perform a reliable tek and get white crystals that smell something like mothballs (and gets you to hyperspace when smoked) then, IMO... but no, really: nobody here can guarantee that your raw material truly is what it is supposed to be

P.S.: I think it is really a good idea to work only with tried-and-true materials, raw materials, bark etc... Anyways: how did you get the bark?

Coffee grinder , you can break pieces down with plyers also to make them fit in grinder

Jurema is the traditional brazilian name for Mimosa Hostilis, so there is no difference.

but what about my tepezcohuite?

I KNEW IT

For the record, tepezcohuite habla español mexicano, jurema fala português do brasil.

So a vendor who sells tepezcohuite powder is really selling MHRB powder its just the name in mexican correct?

I'd want to be sure that it's specifically ROOT powder, I've seen tepezcohuite being sold for making soaps and such that comes from other parts of the tree, like trunk bark, or it could be just plain ground up branches. For skin care they want the tannins, which I guess are all through the tree, but I'm pretty sure there's little if any DMT anywhere but the root bark.

Maybe, maybe not. In Mexico, tepezcohuite is the common name for Mimosa tenuiflora (which is the accepted botanical name for the plant that extractors like to call Mimosa hostilis). But in Mexico, they use the stem bark (not the root bark) of tepezcohuite to make topical ointment. So unless the vendor specifies root bark or stem bark, you don't necessarily know which you're getting. Stem bark doesn't contain DMT.

Stem bark does contain DMT..just not as much as rootbark. The leaves contain it as well.

Grinding shredded rootbark will leave you with powder and fibrous material. The fibrous material contains dmt too, so make sure and dont discard the fibres. Happy extracting
