Hi there. I came across this forum in my research into extractions. after being introduced to mescaline via peruvian torch by my best friend who is sadly no longer with us living. It peaked my interest in understanding my mind and myself and to the wonders of plant medicines and entheogens. I filtered through the web and pretty much read any and every forum and thread having to do with acacia confusa extraction and recently completed a very successful acacia confusa extraction as well as a syrian rue freebase extraction and found this site to be of immense help. I found this forum to have the best in depth information so I figured it would be useful to join and learn and contribute.
I'm currently interested in building a still and getting into extracting essential oils and plant medicines.

thought i should clarify i'm by no means new to the psychedelic experience. My first experiences were around age 17 and i'm now nearing 23. I spent a couple of years using heavily. I eventually fell into an opiate addiction to deal with psychic pain, as well as physical pain from my many years as a competitive gymnast. anyways, i'm off the dope but i'm on methadone maintenence weening down slowly. I have found the spice to help immensely with reconnecting with the emotions and clarity that opiates have, and still repress. also it has rekindled my interest in meditation and stretching/yoga which my beaten up body needs. I wish to find more, albeit milder plant allies to aid in meditation and overall health
