sorry for the poor res, it was taken with a cheap Celestron usb microscope but it's about 99% pure. benzyme attached the following image(s):  ms.bmp (901kb) downloaded 1,136 time(s). ms2.bmp (901kb) downloaded 1,127 time(s)."Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah

ooft!... they look amazing benzyme. How did you achieve 99 percent purity? "accept the possibility that you may never come back, then your mind is truly open."

nice! what was the source for the mesc? This will be the next step for me, these lovely crystals and a friends tales of his experiences have urged me on to do some cacti work.. finally! "accept the possibility that you may never come back, then your mind is truly open."

would you say torch is the way to go then?... also, what was the weight of that yield you have there? "accept the possibility that you may never come back, then your mind is truly open."

I don't think that ingesting mescaline.sulfate would be a health risk, at least at this level. San Pellegrino water has a sulfate concentration of 459mg/l (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Pellegrino). The text above was typed by frenzy monkeys randomly hitting their keyboards.

benzy - how do u find m sulphate Yeah, what's that with the sulfate health problems? Who started this rumour? Both magnesium sulphate and heparan sulphate can be used as health supplements on daily basis. Or it relates to the difficultly of obtaining food grade sulphuric acid (for those who like to go food-grade all the way?) Need to calculate between salts and freebases? Click here! Need to calculate freebase or salt percentage at a given pH? Click here!

whats food grade sulphuric acid ? sulphuric acid u can drink or add to ur food ? also what the hell is food grade acetone supposed to mean ? antrocles wrote:...purity of intent....purity of execution....purity of experience...

food-grade phosgene. the grackle will eat the m sulfate when he has time, maybe labor day "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah

As for acetone, you do know it is present naturally in small amounts in fruits and so on, right? But when one buys it in industrial grade (or general unguaranteed hardware store acetone), it could very well have some heavy metal or other contaminants (maybe in some cases not, or maybe too little to have any negative health repercussion, but there is the possibility, which some people dont want to risk)
I usually get USP grade acetone, which is basically what one could call food-grade. Its significantly more expensive than normal acetone but I feel its worth it because often enough depending on what process im doing, acetone is the last product to 'touch' my final product, so considering I am putting it inside of my body, I rather make sure that any small amounts of impurities present will be benign

ACS-grade is for those who aren't scared of chemicals; typically higher purity than USP-grade and tech-grade. it's what's generally referred to as "lab-grade". if one seeks ACS-grade, it's because one will settle for nothing less than 99.8% pure chemicals.

maybe 200-500 um (they were broken up with a microspatula). they're really tiny "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah
