It wasn't a large amount of wax, it started out as a film of oil on top of the alcohol and when I swirled everything up they clumped up in to blobs of wax. So it was just small amounts of yellow/brown wax. I'm mainly talking about the white precipitates in the solution (which I would also presume to be waxy too) that people use to believe was Psilocybin precipitating out, that all started from the whole Crystals of the Gods tek.
When it first came about most people were just leaving it in and taking the tincture as such, then later others were filtering it out and dosing as such, only to find the white precipitates were not active.
I know there would be small amounts of alkaloids attached to the white stuff, but enough to notice a difference in effect? Does the white stuff cause more nausea or body load? Maybe...
I'm just someone who likes to have a nice clean looking extract, especially with tinctures, to have that clear golden tincture with no floaters. But I guess if no one really knows I'll just have to experiment myself, try it on two separate occasions, one filtered, and one not.
I also like to try and find a way to make the shrooms less nauseating and heavy, as my wife is one who usually purges on them.
