Hey all, i have followed this guide
https://wiki.dmt-nexus.m...e_Tao_of_Rue_Extraction
up to step 10, i've done a number of filters and i'm left with a yellow sludge, i want to do one final step to finish it off, the guide calls for sodium carbonate, which i don't have and will be time to order it in

just wondering if anyone else has other suggestions, would like to wash out the last bit of salt and vinegar and get a dry product, i have heard can use methylated spirits, which i might prefer

any suggestions?

How did you do step 5 with no sodium carbonate?

Just go buy it from the supermarket, will set you back a few dollars. It's sold as washing soda in the cleaning isle.

You'll want to go around a couple of times to get a pretty decent product.

Your final product will need to be freebase powder if you want to smoke it too, the acid crystal is only good for oral use.

I think you're in Australia like me? It's there close to the dishwashing tablets iirc.

Sodium carbonate can also be made by heating sodium bicarbonate (bicarb, baking soda - but NOT baking powder!) in a stainless steel pan until it stops 'levitating'. That will give you an anhydrous, food-grade product - which on occasion can be useful.




“There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work."
― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli
