I TOTALLY agree with gammagore on this one. i've never even taken pharma but i've done a little research and with person to person fluctuations for pharma, you need to be precise. pharma can range from 100-300mgs of maoi extract and from 50-150mg of spice. and there are other variables to take into account (body weight, recent diet, state of mind, desired effect). also, it usually takes a handful of attempts to find your "sweet spot" with pharma, from what i've read. so you need a scale to first make sure that you're not gonna take enough to hurt yourself and then you need to be able to document each dosage so that you can repeat and/or adjust certain dosages.
yeah man...get some scales. you don't even need exact mg scales. the scales i use only go down to .01 and it works fine. you're looking at $30 or $40 US to get a suitable pair of scales. taking your physical and mental well being into consideration, i promise that they'll be worth it bro. they will pay for themselves after a couple extractions. help you weigh out everything. i'm still a rookie but i promise you NEED scales. it also shows a little bit more serious of an intention and respect for the molecule. like gammagore said, calling it "crap in my pile" is quite demeaning.
i know that it may seem kinda stupid to put so much emphasis, respect and intention into some "crap" but it's very important to respect it so that in your head, you've a respect for the spirit you're about to consume. going into a trip thinking it's crap could very well turn your experience into crap!
no one's trying to talk down to you or belittle you, either. please don't feel attacked (not saying you do but some do feel that way). just take everyone's advice to heart. we're taking the time to reach out and give the advice. obviously we believe it. read around. check it out bro. you'll see. everyone in the nexus will tell you that scales are a must have.
good job on he extraction. my first 2 times were a failure. i've got close to 10 extractions under my belt and still have large swings in yield.
happy trails...
embrace your nothingness...it's all you are...
