The FV tinctures are acetates already. It does burn under my tongue sublingual. although amor_fati seems to not be bothered by it.

Just as with how SWIM doesn't simply allow the powder to sit in a pile under his tongue to become diluted and to have to wait five minutes or so for the substance to mostly absorb, nor does he let tincture sit in a puddle to burn his mouth. Early on, he had made the mistake of allowing this to happen, and it does indeed burn, but he soon realized that the same methods he developed for use with the powders are also suited for use with the tinctures. SWIM's also had to coach guests in how to do this.

With powders, he spreads it incredibly thin over his palate with the bottom of his tongue (he would occasionally do this with his fingertip, as well), and at 30mg, the THH can noticeably set in with the rapidity of a rail of cocaine (no sitting around for 5min waiting for absorption, instead, SWIM makes it absorb). This can be a bit painful at higher doses and tastes horrible, but the effect is magnificent and well worth it. SWIM uses a similar practice with the tincture: He applies the drops in different spots on the palate to avoid bombarding one location with acetic acid and immediately spreads it out with his tongue, and he never has any burning sensations. With both the powder and the tincture, never let saliva dilute it. Always swallow your saliva before it has a chance to commingle with the substance, even if you do swallow a little, it should be thin enough that it will likely absorb long before making it to the stomach.

odd, SWIM was under the impression sublingual meant "under the tongue" lol

Yes, most likely, but there's little more than bad reports with DMSO. Once SWIY gets her technique down, these tinctures will work just fine. It's really easier than she's probably thinking.

Didn't want to make a new thread for this question, but does anyone know if FV's dry alkaloid extracts (not tinctures) -- caapi copy in particular -- are sold in freebase or salt form, and if salt, which specifically? I find it strange that the information isn't detailed on his website.

Could be but it takes a lot of harmalas for sufficient inhibition for SWIM (50 to 60 drops of Caapi tincture), so avoiding salivation and swallowing is quite a challenge.

Did SWIY mention that it could be done in several installments rather than all at once?

Regardless of negative reports on DMSO use SWIM plans to run a few experiments with sublingual harmalas & spice dissolved in DMSO. As far as she remembers those negative reports were related to transdermal application, not sublingual.
