Ive been storing ALL of what I believe to my spent base soups since I first started extracting thinking that maybe one day if most or all forms of rootbark worthy of extracting from were outlawed or unavailable then I could back salt them and maybe retrieve some spice. You know? For a rainy day? Anybody else think this way?

That article was a help thanks! only been sitting a month or so but still good to know no molecular breakdown occurs. At least not of major importance.
