. Bufotenine extraction can be so frustrating due to all of the problems faced.
Too name a few:
*Buying bad seeds can be a waste of money and happens quite a lot. Well it has done for me.
*It can be frustrating dealing with Nausea.
*Also due to the lack of knowledge about Bufotenine, there are many unexplained variables.
*Worst of all, when toasting the seeds the stink that is given off is unbelievable. And your house won't smell the same for about a week. Not the best thing to do when sharing a house.
Apologies to sound so negative. I understand how the tek seems so cheap and simple, but honestly that isn't half of the story.
No worries man, rather than negativity I tend to see it as being realistic. I know that the tek isn't as simple as it seems and further study will definitely be done before buying a single thing. As for lack of knowledge, I got my higher in chemistry so I'm fairly ok with the process itself and the science behind it but, again, it'll be thoroughly researched before doing anything.
I've been reading the tek on the wiki but I've also been checking all over this, and other sites for tips and I see how variable the results can be. I've seen it referred to as being pretty much hit and miss, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I accept the risk and if I make an arse of it then it's my own fault and another lesson on my journey.
As for the nausea, I'm fairly confident that I could manage that and also minimize it's occurence through toasting the seeds. If they stink then so be it, my kitchen is pretty well ventilated so it's another risk I'm willing to take.
I really appreciate your advice, especially being so realistic about it and not sugar coating everything for a newbie like myself! Ha! I'll be sure to report back anyway and hopefully be a fully fledged member by that point.
All the very best to you all.
