nice..so it is 4-po-dmt? or maybe a mixture of 4-ho-dmt and 4-po-dmt?

probably mostly 4-PO. came from 10 g dried aborts "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah "Experiments are the only means of attaining knowledge at our disposal. The rest is poetry, imagination." -Max Planck

Wow! How much you think that is ?

tough to say.... very active, though yeah, the pic was taken with a phone camera sonicate, filter, rotavap. "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah "Experiments are the only means of attaining knowledge at our disposal. The rest is poetry, imagination." -Max Planck

Are you sayin this is psilocybin extracted from shrooms? If so then lookin good And looks like ALOT from only 10gr. โโโโโโ
DMTripper is a fictional character therefore everything he says here must be fiction. I mean, who really believes there is such a place as Hyperspace!!

it only looks like a lot because it was spun fast. it's really just a thin layer coating the flask "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah "Experiments are the only means of attaining knowledge at our disposal. The rest is poetry, imagination." -Max Planck

Looks like a good use of sonication and your rotoevap. Makes me want to grow fungus and experiment with it! Everything mentioned herein has been deemed by our staff of expert psychiatrists to be the delusional rantings of a madman who has been treated with Thorazine who is hospitalized within the confines of our locked facility. This patient sometimes requires the application of 6 point leather restraints and electrodes at the temples to break his delusions. Therefore, take everything mentioned above with a grain of salt...

Good stuff!!! But sure it can't all be psilocybin, methanol would extract plenty of sugars, wouldn't it? Need to calculate between salts and freebases? Click here! Need to calculate freebase or salt percentage at a given pH? Click here!

and proteins, which is probably what the green goo is that people get. got some of that too, it was just separated out by the centrifugal force i'd conservatively estimate 40% - 45% psilocybin. experiments with re-x are in order nevertheless, it seems alcoholic extractions are the way to go, to preserve the activity. A/B seems to render product inactive by altering the charge state of the OH, which is ever-susceptible to oxidation.

After an alcohol extraction, does it need to be stored in the dark, if left in solution? Looks awesome, btw! PK Dick is to LSD as HP Lovecraft is to Mushrooms

thanks you know, i'm not exactly sure. since it's most likely psilocybin, which is stable unlike the more photosensitive psilocin, i don't think any extra storage measures need to be taken. can probably get away with storing it in a clear container at room temp, and it will still keep its activity.

hmm, perhaps adding citric acid to convert to psilocin was a poor idea. :-S thank you for the thoughts. PK Dick is to LSD as HP Lovecraft is to Mushrooms

well, the addition of a weak acid may not be detrimental to the activity...it's adding base that might muck it up "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah "Experiments are the only means of attaining knowledge at our disposal. The rest is poetry, imagination." -Max Planck

Benzyme - What was your final yield and how did it perform? What are the similarities and differences to ingesting the raw fungus? Is it smokable? Would you be willing to write up a tek that is duplicatible by your average, ordinary kitchen clod?

Many years ago SWIMMED performed simple methanol extraction on about 4 g dried mushrooms. Filtered dried thats it. Stored it for months upon months in the fridge. One day SWIM took it in some tea. SWIM was wrecked. Crawling on the floor wrecked.

Would you be willing to write up a tek that is duplicatible by your average, ordinary kitchen clod? don't know what the yield was, I didn't weigh it. the off-white product clung to the side of the flask. not sure if it was smokable either. it was much, much less material to consume than the raw fungus, but the effects were identical to psilocybin. had some nausea onset was about 15 minutes, effects lasted about 3 - 4 hrs, with 5 hr afterglow. the basic approach is grinding dry mushrooms and soaking in alcohol. this is allowed to sit in the freezer for a few day, then transferred to room temp. this may be cycled (optional). then, heat the slurry in a 40 C water bath for half an hour. filter, and evap (if possible, use reduced pressure). burnt wrote:One day SWIM took it in some tea.

sweet peaches, you got the goods! How does the nausea compare to dried fruits? If you have done an ethanol extraction: Is there much benefit over an ethanol "elixir" other than having it as a powder (although, I understand that itself would be huge awesomeness) Is it less nausea than ethanol elixir? Did the product stay dry or go goo? All posts written by Madcap should be regarded as fiction.

tbh, the nausea was identical because it was so potent; it wasn't ghastly to consume it ended up being a waxy consistency, difficult to remove from the sides of the flask. a hot tea was prepared and added to the flask with heavy cream, then imbibed. heavy nausea followed by purging and visuals occurred about 20 mins later "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah "Experiments are the only means of attaining knowledge at our disposal.
