Greetings Fellow Ethnobotanists!

Having successfully grown, eaten, and shared with trusted friends my own P. Cubensis (Ecuador and Mazatapec strains as of this posting), as well as LSA from HBWR seeds with an ethanol extraction, I have decided it is high time to graduate to the mother of all entheogens. I intend to split the yield between myself and my closest, closest, most experienced co-psychonauts - free of charge of course! I have already gathered all the necessary equipment, including the rootbark, for my first venture into extraction and picked out a nice looking beginner's tek. However! There is something that I need clarified in the tek, and I am certainly not about to do any guesswork, considering the step in question involves lye and water. Since I have plenty of free time in the next few weeks, what with the holidays and all that, I would like to be graduated to full-membership status so that I may ask the question as soon as possible. I will then be able to share some information on other extractions I have performed as well, as I have a knack for running into and solving some very rare complications. Looking forward to sharing my experiences!
