When I came to the realization that I was going to have to make the stuff on my own if I really wanted it, I found this forum. I certainly have no chemistry skills, and I was totally overwhelmed just reading through the various teks and threads... I could not wrap my head around it! I would read some, give up, go to sleep, and do it a little more the next night.
Eventually I had enough of an idea, gathered the various materials, and bumbled through a 50g ACRB extraction. I evapped on Mullein leaf, and just hit it... IT WORKED! So amazing to think what all this is : root bark from Hawaii, chems from a bunch of hardware stores, help from friends I don't even know, a bit of faith, and a dash of desperation!
Thank you all who helped me, and especially to those who make this site possible.
Next comes the real work! Ahhhhhh!

Im happy you found help brother! I know I did and still do. The Nexus is the safest place to learn in my opinion! Keep up the exploration and stay positive!

Congratulations! Brings a smile to my face to hear another fellow human took an idea or urge and set in motion all the way to an amazing and unforgettable experience!!!

Unforgettable!

Everything you say reminds me of thoughts I had and loved. It amazing that not only it works, but that it is IT. The real deal. The key. Magic. And done with as you say, cheap hardware materials=) There will be trips that will make you doubt, but for now all is reassurance.
