Ok, I have acrb now, and I feel like a damn fool. I ordered 20 different kinds of seeds including syrian rue, which was 3.99 for 1 gram. An ounce was 4.99 >.> 1 dollar more and I woulda got 27x more seeds.

The acrb is a light orange, which makes me think it would be better for a brew, although I am tempted to make a first extraction. The only thing making me hesitant on extraction is the dirtyness of lye/salt, and I'm thinking of ways to acquire salt. Relatably, I am looking for a calcining trey and an oil glassware soon (suggestions?) once I have a few more dollars.

TLDR: I have 1 OZ of ACRB and 1G of Syrian Rue. The ACRB is a lightish orange, making me think it would be better for a brew, despite my wanting to do an extraction. Is there anyway to dose or do I have to get more MAOI I also want to do an extraction, revolving around Noman's tek, but obtaining the base is my problem. Any suggestions there? Elemental tips are what I like most

To answer all the questions above... ^

... Follow a tek.

That is why we publish them.

where's the "like" button?

My advice would be trial and error , we all have to start somewhere and it all adds up to experiance !

And do some basic research , all the answers are there , seek and you shall find !!

Before you do anything, please read The Attitude Page.


Definitely. I would even recommend one of cyb's. They are very detailed, and written with a better understanding of organic chemistry than a lot of other teks I have seen.


There are a number of different things you could screw up during an extraction. Following a well-informed tek, to the letter, will minimize your chances of failure. If you run into trouble, and you have searched for an answer to no avail, read through and post in The Official Extraction Help Thread.

My first extraction had a bunch of problems but most things that go wrong that you can't find with a google search people on the nexus will have an answer for or at least a suggestion.(so no worries)

Don't be afraid to ask questions but make sure that the question doesn't already have an answer somewhere on the web.
