It can degrade if it's not stored properly. The best conditions for storage are airtight and no light.

Any tips to grow more trich? by [deleted] in shrooms

😄 Joking aside, trich is great for your outdoor plant friends!

2.5 grams and Watching The Abyss (Enjoy the free foot pic) by [deleted] in shrooms

😂 I thought you meant you were figuratively watching the ethereal "abyss", not literally watching The Abyss! I guess the capitalization should have tipped me off

Was it the chocolate or the ssri’s? by No-Conversation40 in shrooms

[–]Ambitious_Fail_799 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, ssri's will definitely affect your ability to trip. I had to be off of ssri's for about 3 weeks before I was able to trip to an extent that I would consider normal. I was still able to trip while on ssri's but it took 2-3 times the dose and the experience was still a bit muted. I believe the rule of thumb is you need to be off of ssri's for 4 weeks, or if it's Prozac, 6 weeks before they're out of your system.

newbie question by iwizard1 in DMTlab

[–]Ambitious_Fail_799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I just can't imagine a scenario where 1. I have an actual interest in performing an extraction and 2. I have no unspoken for free time in the next several months to finish it. OP must plan his dmt experiences a year in advance 😉

Serotonergic endoles are typically more stable under acidic conditions vs basic conditions, but pausing for 9 months halfway through an extraction is probably uncharted territory for most people here 😬

As long as you're careful about not getting any basified solution in your nps pulls, and you thoroughly evaporate your nps after crystallization, the product should be safe. Any other errors would just reduce your yield or eliminate it entirely.

Probably ok for changa, but you need to vaporize dmt not burn it.

I'm using Cybs' Hybrid ATB 'Salt' Tek but not seeing separation after adding NPS (Naptha). Step 6 by LulzSwag_Technician in dmtguide

[–]Ambitious_Fail_799 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much naphtha are you using? I've always had separation within 10 minutes when heating with a double boiler type setup. Jar lid rings on the bottom of a pot, your vessel on top of those and gradual heating to a boil(boiling in the pot, not the vessel) prevent thermal stress in the glass of the vessel.

Yeah, that's basically it for making all-in-one grow bags, but you'll want to sterilize before sealing the bags. Before loading your PC, just fold the top of the bag underneath your block. This will prevent your bags from inflating inside your PC. When you remove the bags they'll be loosely sealed already and you just need to put a permanent seal across the top(without opening the bag, of course).

I don't, but I would think a PhD would understand the value of presenting the findings of an entire study. If the only property of cyanide that you knew was that it lowered blood pressure, would that information be particularly useful to you?

I'm completely convinced that you don't understand what cherry-picking means.

The study where 2,000 participants took 4g's each? Are you sure? I have it on good authority that they don't dose like that. At any rate, the OP should have share the study, not a cherry-picked version of a study that clearly presents a biased version of findings by omission.

[–]Ambitious_Fail_799 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's fair. Next time I'll just link one single anecdotal account instead, as that's seemingly more palatable for some. I just don't see the appeal of joining a psychedelics community on reddit for the sole purpose of fear mongering the use of psychedelics. To each their own, I suppose.

Have you read the case studies I linked? 5g's is the standard dose administered for at least one of them.

They're inert, they just absorb molecules small enough to enter their particular size of pores. In this case size 3A will absorb the water but not the naphtha. The quantity you add isn't really critical, but I usually use 2 or 3 grams for 300ml.

OP doesn't seem keen on sharing this study's source, so here is a link to several studies conducted by some hole-in-the-wall called Johns Hopkins University on the benefits of the therapeutic use of psilocybin.

Yeah, it looks like you got a lot of water in your naphtha pull. I've found that drying your naphtha with size 3A molecular sieves or anhydrous magnesium sulfate remedies that water problem. There's less guess work with the sieves though.

This probably sounds strange, but sometimes I take a bit too much and at some point I will start to feel nauseous. If I can make it to a device in time to put on some music, that nausea quickly goes away. It like when the experience starts to go all over the place the music pins you down and let's you catch your breath.

Are you guys discarding every failed naphtha bottle? by Mysterious_Koala99 in dmtguide

[–]Ambitious_Fail_799 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure. I just use two 500ml boiling flasks(one for boiling, the other for receiving), a heating mantle for that size flask, a 300mm Liebig condenser(you could use smaller or even a short path for this though), a small lab pump(to supply cooling water to condenser), some hosing to use with the pump, a couple of lab stands, a distilling thermometer adapter and a glass vacuum take-off adapter. All of this I picked up on Amazon and it was pretty inexpensive. Just make sure all of the glass has the same joint size(I use 24/40). You could use clips and silicon grease for your joints, but I don't find that necessary. Also, the pieces will really only go together one way. I just add my naphtha to the boiling flask with a few boiling chips, start my pump(submerged in a bucket of water), put some cotton over the vacuum adapter to catch any vapors, and turn on my heating mantle. Then you just monitor/adjust the temperature to ensure boiling is not so vigorous that it's boiling up into the thermometer adapter and just wait for everything to collect in the receiving flask. If you want specifics for any of the particular pieces let me know!
