i am in love with chemistry and drugs are like my loves baby erm yayayayay! i plan to hopefully make you guys a good large scale tek's using soxhlet and complete how to's on how to get a large scale operation of dmt and mescaline extractions how to acquire dcm and everything. my intents are to educate and support the psychedelic drug culture(:

Hello, I'm new here as well but I had to respond because your post made me laugh. I am also in love with chemistry, but I've never thought of substances as the love-child of myself and chemistry. I hope you enjoy yourself here.

Sounds like you know your stuff.
I look forward to your contributions!

I think it is important that you understand that large scale extractions are frowned upon at the the DMT-Nexus. The reasons for that are:

• The primary users of large scale extractions are drugs dealers, something we loath.
  
  
• Having large amounts of a schedule 1 substance in your possession is NOT a good thing if you get caught. You will not only be prosecuted for the schedule 1 substance but also for the intent of distribution.
  
  
• Many small scale extractions will get you acquainted with the extraction procedure.
  
  
• Many small scale extractions will make you understand the workings beind each step of the extraction.
  
  
• Many small scale extractions will not be a big loss if the extraction fails.
  
  
• Many small scale extractions will let you finetune your process.
  

So as you can see we encourage small scale extractions.

Is this kind of guidance sticky'd somewhere.. it should be!

Not yet, but I will put it in the Attitude page when I have the time for it.

Could not have said this better!! respect the spice

Welcome, my friend.

well, the reason i say large scale is because i feel that naptha is not the best solvent and since i have a soxhlet i just dont want to waste materials as i am a student without much of a budget, i try and do these activity's as scientific as possible like i was just thinking how much fun it would be to run down the extraction and conversion of mushrooms to be able to smoke out of a bubble. Like using methanol extraction of ground mushys dried preferably with a soxhlet then evaperating and bassifiying to like 2 ph? and using dcm(favorite solvent) and a vaccum filtration becuase i am pretty sure free base psiloybin/psilocin is unstable hence evaperation would cause much yeild loss over time then smoking it(:

I honestly don't believe that Psilocybin or Psilocyn, even if Freebase, could feesibly be smoked. I have certainly never heard of it being accomplished. From what I have heard the heat it would take to vaporize either would also be enough to destroy the compound. Ive been doing Hallucinogens over half of my life, if it were possible, I'm pretty sure I would have heard of it by now.

welcome chemisch..

..while many would agree with you Toadfreak1, .....in his final issue as editor of Entheogen Review, Jim De Korne said that he had followed the Hoffman proceedure to extract mushrooms to a blue/grey smokable crystal..he confirmed it worked, and said he was surprised no one else had reported back on trying this (as it was described in earlier issues)
..see https://www.dmt-nexus.me/forum/d...osts&t=27807&p=2 post#30

Hmm, maybe it is possible. I would love to confirm it, I just find myself doubtful. I remember reading A Yaqui Way Of Knowledge and hearing Carlos mention the Little Smoke containing an unidentified mushroom, which led me to smoke gram on top of gram of dehydrated mushroom's. I'll do some further digging, I'm following the link you sent now.

hmm, well maybe vaporize it with a volcano vape lowest setting (: but i know alot of compounds like psilocin are quite unstable when not hcl so waiting for a solvent to evap may destroy it may have to vaccum filter or dcm rotary evape asap sort of thing but i have no idea

Hahaha, I'm glad I'm not the only one!

And, chemisch, just how awesome is the soxhlet? I haven't used one so far but they seems pretty cool. I'm sure I'll get my hands on one as my chemistry journey continues.

they are very useful as it eliminates the need for multiple pulls because its fresh solvent every time it extracts. i love myn, havent gotten swims hands on any grass or mimosa hostillas yet. but if you shop they arent all that expensive and just make almost all teks easier and higher yeilding
