I am trying to perform this tec https://wiki.dmt-nexus.m...A/B_Mescaline_Extraction but it would appear that many of the chemical supplies are not able to be shipped to CA and even if im able to get around this problem will it draw attention to put all those things in a basket on the largest online store and have it shipped to my house??? my guess is yes its a terrible idea so how do i go about gathering mats?? if i am not allowed to ask that question plz let me know and delete this post.. or do i have have to go to every pool auto and hardware store reading labels i know about msds but once i find them im not sure what should be in there and what shouldn't... if i cant find mats at stores what is the best way to go about shopping online under the radar so to say everyone i live with thinks im making soap i even got my dad to help grind bark it killed me it sucks having to hide in plain sight but whatever. i would like to buy ACS Reagent Grade but i think that would raise more alarms so any information on how to go about this would be great sorry if this post is poorly organized but i was reading alkaloid levels on pedro are higher when dormant so tis the season so if i need to ship one thing to each friend or drive i need to get started thank you guys for any and all info I am the only one in my friend group that works on these projects so my problems fall on deft's door and even if i learn nothing from posting this im sure i will find a way thx for everything guys you all rock

Unless a chemical a is on the watched-chems list then there won't be an issue with privacy. It is much like how people think the government tracks their phone calls. There is over 300,000,000 in the US, do you know how hard it would be to track peoples purchases and then cross reference them? Even if they did do that, they wouldn't have any authority to raid your place as buying xylene or whatever doesn't constitute reasonable suspicion in any way. If there was a red light on online hardware store shopping then everytime someone purchases certain chemicals they would need someone to come in and check over red flagged shopping cart lists and then phone the DEA... you can see where I am going, it is ridiculous. Those chemicals are legal to buy so there is no worries, whatsoever.

Everything on that list: toluene, xylene, NaOH & HcL should be available at hardware stores, if you are missing one component then you can swap it for another component IE (lye can be swapped for sodium carbonate / xylene can be swapped for toulene/ HcL can be swapped for white vinegar). Or if you don't want to swap then you can buy it online. Don't worry so much SWIY!

thx man
yeah i tend to over think things lol I read for days just trying to learn as much as i can and then I go to get the stuff and have no idea what to do but after reviewing stuff i feel better thx again!!!!!

yeah i figured that was the best idea i just live super far from everything thing so it will have to be a special trip down the hill whatever tho best shopping trip ever.

Ace is the place. Rooto brand is 100% NaOH. And they carry toluene. Home Depot and Lowes don't, afaik. Xylene is a really awful smelling solvent and I avoid it. Also, I'd suggest using white vinegar instead of HCI and washing with ice cold MEK.

thank you that should make the shopping trip a bit easier with a one stop place to shop. I think living in a small town just made me think there's things were unobtainable, heck an ace is all but unobtainable i just looked it up on maps and the nearest one is 60 miles away one way and for living in CA most things are super close you want mountains 1 hour you want beach 1 hour. makes me sad i didnt know about this stuff when i lived in LA... i am digging these suggestions i want to be the best i can be at this stuff my friends have kinda agreed that i'm the guy that has to do all this but now that im learning i understand the importance of taking the time and learning all this stuff and how much more you gain from doing it yourself. thank you again for all the info i will put it to good use

What did i say to have my post deleted? Essentially it was the same advice as given above, wide differently. Don't know who mods this to pm personally, but it would be nice to know.

i didnt see anything that was against the rules i hope OP wasn't something i shouldn't of posted or that it would put people in a situation where they would post things against the rules i just figured that people in CA that were familiar with the tec would give me options or say shopping online is fine or a bad choice or whatever sorry for your post being took down and to the mods: i have gotten the information needed so if you want to shut this down its all good

You mentioned buying source material (you got a PM with that quote). Not sure how you still don't understand this after all your time being on this forum.
