I did my first four pulls on some mhrb using the gordotek which is the lazy mans? Each mix is 100g mhrb. Ground it completely to powder. I don’t have a stand mixer so I used a hand mixer. It turned to a moose like foam until I added the calcium hydroxide. My first time I didn’t heat the vm&p. Yield 1 mix 1 I got .100 it was very long clear crystals. It looked like snowflakes it was beautiful. I took them out of the freezer and it was evaporating in a very warm room. After three hours it was mushy so I froze it again then evaporated under a small fan blowing on it. That’s how I got such great crystals? The next pull I added 20 more grams of calcium hydroxide and actually heated the mix above/with the solv. I yielded .420 clear and white. The second time 48 hours on the first mix I got .620 more so white this time...there was a piece of plant matter contaminant. The 2nd mix 52 hours later .510 clear again.. I don’t have a croc pot so I have a large heating plate I set the water bath at 300•. I had some yellow stuff before this extraction I got from a friend that blasted me into five dimensions which brought me to try this tek. However when I try to test this clear/white is tastes like dmt it smells like dmt but I get 0 effects. It vaporizers instantly where as the yellow stuff took a little while longer to burn and friggn blasted me into hyperspace. I used a small oil pipe with the yellow stuff and it worked great!! I bought a large new oil pipe to test this clear/white and it just instantly disappears lol. Everything I’ve read says you want white clear cause it’s more pure. I don’t feel a need to recrystalize sense it’s beautiful. Is it just the vaporizing technique? I don’t have money for a vapor genie. I also microcode .5-1g of Mexican Dutch king cubensis and take around 12 grams of Hulu kappas or white bentenguai kratom daily. I do not smoke cannabis so I’d rather not sandwich. I do have a bong but it’s massive. Would the microdose compounds lessen my experience ? I feel like I did everything perfectly. It has a beautiful smell and it’s colorless/white. big yields.... Yet no effects when tested.

I'm sorry, i don't have advice on your question, really no idea unless you extracted something else, but you did mention something that brings up questions for me. You said you ingest a fairly significant amount of kratom daily. Can you say why, and what you get from it? Yes, one tiny throw away line in your post is what I've latched onto...

As a former heroin addict who now works with people in early recovery, kratom concerns the hell out of me. I think that many people mistake it for being totally innocuous since it is a plant; completely ignoring the fact that plants don't exclusively make harmless products. What would happen if you didn't dose today? How severe are your physical-and more importantly, your emotional withdrawal. Also, have you abstained long enough to notice the severity of post-acute withdrawal and if so, what are those symptoms like?

You don't have to answer- of course- although this is an online forum your personality here isn't exactly anonymous, however I'm also curious what your history with opiates is and what draws you to this drug?

Hey- I'm not trying to moralize your drug use and "should" all over you- i think I'm just growing older and wiser about the whole thing- but 1 gram isn't a microdose, buddy!

I worked a heavy job and was in pain daily. I no longer work there so I will be ditching it completely in a few days as there’s no need for pain management any longer. I used to be a heroin addict and went to suboxone then to kratom. Withdrawals are doable yet unpleasant. If I don’t take my daily doses my eyes run my nose runs. Allergy like symptoms. Restlessness for four days. Then post withdrawals about 80 days till the neuropathways fire correctly. Motivation at a low. I have found with all withdrawals nutrition is highly over looked. One fascinating thing I’ve found with kratom is its ability to help with panic. It brings down psychedelic experiences greatly as well as panic one would get from cannabis. I would group it in the opiate category. 1g of cubensis as recreational. Usually .3-.5 once mid day. Microdosing has done wonders. It’s amazing to me however my first time trying dmt a .42 blasted me off I met two entities and broke fully through.. the after glow is still with me. It changed my perception of my self. I no longer am self conscious at all and I have been full of love for months. With the Cubensis I tend to stick to pretty low amounts. A bite here and there. With a 4-5g dose a couple times a year in a ritual setting. Kratom worked as a battery recharger. It combated fatigue. It masked pain. It wasn’t so much used as emotional or psychological support. I’m in a very good place. More so physical and energy based support. One other thing I find fascinating is the effects kratom has on cannabis use. It amplifies it to a point I rarely consume cannabis, same goes with alcohol which I can count the times on two hands I’ve drank in the last six years anyhow. I plan on writing a couple of papers off of my experiences based on the information I’ve gathered over the years.
