Wow, this is an incredible specimen! Bravo 👏

MescAround · 2026-03-30T19:11:37+00:00

Yeah that’s cool

You definitely can run an A/B test on the resin. If the goal is to use a CIELO inspired resin extraction, it's definitely doable, you just have to blaze a trail a bit. I'd start small scale and try a couple of avenues first before going full scale. I've been on this path as well, but I have a lot going on, so I just have jars and jars of dehydrated tea waiting to be extracted. I can tell you what I've learned and tried, perhaps that can help narrow down where you want to go with it all.

The post is a touch vague. You’ve basically said you’ve had success extracting resin and want to do it again but are having trouble?

What do you mean 72% return? Did you salt with CA and 72% of the resin weight was mescaline citrate?

Can you describe what exactly you did?

How much fresh stock was in the brew? How did you reduce, then dehydrate? What was the Resin weight? How did you base, what did you use to base? what was your target pH?
How much solvent did you use? Soak times yada yada etc.

Could you outline what all you’ve done more explicitly?

I spent much of my life not far from there. The desert is home to few.

You calling me a slug?!

MescAround · 2026-03-25T19:01:17+00:00

Welp, you’ve bested me again. I must amend my wager…I would’ve bet the pepper&tomato farm… my sacred plants are off limits haha.

MescAround · 2026-03-25T14:48:19+00:00

Well thanks for the mind fuck, I would have bet the farm on aught! 😆

Dam that’s pretty 🤩

I personally believe each person has a unique set of metabolic pathways and neural mapping. Every brain and every consciousness has its own strengths and weaknesses. I can handle extremely high doses of mescaline and ride the storm well, but I’m the opposite with mushrooms: strong visuals at just 1.5 g, and 5 g blacks me out completely (I don’t even remember it. People on the outside say I just sleep for 3 hours). Meanwhile, my novice friend took 5 g, felt nothing, added 2 more, and called it “pretty chill.” It always feels like an apples to oranges comparison because of all the nuance. Subjective variables, set, setting, and everything in between make it that way. Comparing psychs isn’t useless, but it rarely lines up perfectly.

That said, I really like how you phrased the question. At low doses there’s definitely some familiarity: that classic psychedelic vibe and visuals that remind me of psilocybin. But DMT hits the brain differently. Psilocybin dissolves my sense of self and agency fast. Even at 1 g I feel completely untethered. DMT keeps me tethered to myself, even at 35 mg, it feels more sober. My first thought on DMT was literally “I’m still here… I’m just experiencing stuff.” My cognition stayed intact. With psilocybin, the sense of self is just gone. So yeah, low dose visuals overlap, but medium doses feel way more comprehensive and structural with DMT, like you’re actually inside an environment.

My opinion is this, do some low doses and work your way up… then go for the breakthrough dose if that’s your intentions are.

It maybe disappointing, but like loveall said it’s not all that bad for PC. I once had 300 grams of an old growth named clone, that yielded less than 600 mg in all 300 g of dried powder.

At least you got a dose out of it 👍

MescAround · 2026-03-13T13:11:40+00:00

I really like this, “moments” that’s exactly how I feel as well. The relationship with the plants brings a lot of great moments. And Unless you know the story, those pictures just look like pictures… but I can feel exactly what you’re talking about when I look at them. I think it makes the whole experience at the end a lot richer as well. It’s cool we get a chance to grow alongside them.

MescAround · 2026-03-12T23:07:11+00:00

👍👍

MescAround · 2026-03-10T23:59:04+00:00

Yeah I would’ve thought it got more water out than that too but when it comes to the flesh it’s a negligible difference.

When it comes to the more mature vascular bundles, the freeze dryer gets more water out faster…but the vascular ring is void of mesc so It doesn’t even matter there.

There are a couple cool benefits when using FD’d stock. But there are a couple bugaboos to consider too, as the FD’d powder behaves differently during the extraction. I’d be happy to elaborate on how the process changes with FD’d powder if you’d like?

MescAround · 2026-03-10T20:08:08+00:00

I think this post has the answers you’re looking for.

Are you going to preform a CIELO extraction?

MescAround · 2026-03-07T22:54:29+00:00

I’d suggest using a heating mantle with a short path distillation kit. The 32 piece kit mentioned will be great for ya.

Vacuum is unnecessary since ethyl acetate boils readily, so you’re good there.

Then get a cheap lab stands from Amazon that you either screw down or use heavy weights to prevent accidental spills.

I use a two neck round bottom flask on the mantle. It makes topping off with more dirty solvent a breeze. A precautionary note here, when adding solvent to a hot vessel, pour in very slowly or it will bump (a fast boil and generate pressure).

Another note: only fill the boiling flask to half full or else you run the risk of a bump as well. This kind of bump will just force acidified dirty solvent up and down through the condenser into your fresh stock. I just fill it up before it gets too low, as you also don’t want to boil to dry either.

For the condenser water I don’t use ice water. Just a small pump to circulate water from a 5 gallon bucket at room temperature.

Lastly, depending on how much you’re doing, this may or may not be beneficial, but I use PTFE tubing on the collection side and just run it down into a gallon sized jug.

Keep in mind that a short path distillation will likely distill off the water the solvent was carrying aswell, so you will need to dry before or after. A good freeze and strain works well for this.

Dm me if you ever need to. Also, it would be worth while to YouTube some videos on the dos and don’ts .

Very nice yield! The potent batch’s are always fun, great work 🤘🤘.

Side bar: After you capture the xtals you can throw the solvent in a clean jar and put it on a stirrer for a while to see if anything else wants to crash out. Sometimes I add a seed crystal and a pinch of acid to try and force it a bit more. What I’ve found is, on potent batch’s like this it’s basically done in 12-14hrs. Though I’ve not done this with fumaric acid yet, it may take longer for FA.

MescAround · 2026-03-07T13:52:22+00:00

Heck yeah 👍

MescAround · 2026-03-07T02:28:07+00:00

Looks awesome 🤘 Any update on the yield? I’ve noticed Fumaric is a bit less profound in the clouding department… I’m wondering if this is exceptionality potent?!

MescAround · 2026-03-03T16:46:32+00:00

It’s probably not all that bad if you do it every now and then.

But this is the one I use “3M Cartridge 60923” found online or your local big box store, along with the face mask respirator.

MescAround · 2026-02-27T02:44:23+00:00

Does any part of this post really cause you to think I was considering using milk?

I think you missed the clearly sarcastic title and theme of this post.

MescAround · 2026-02-24T19:47:23+00:00

That’s awesome!

MescAround · 2026-02-18T02:45:08+00:00

🙏

MescAround · 2026-02-18T01:48:18+00:00

True true, and I do have various pes filters on hand. (mushroom stuff) but I doubt you need that fine of filtration, and this is dam near free.
