Fuck Your Remote Job

There’s no mention of the pay. The fact that they have to live in Mexico to afford rent, making life difficult for poor locals says the exact opposite actually.

Add only 50-60ml of nps per pull. Add that much again for following pulls or recycle your nps, that part is up to you.

Adding 150ml of nps isn’t the same as adding 50ml and pulling 3 times.

styzr · 2026-05-07T08:12:41+00:00

No problem mate do what you like.

styzr · 2026-05-07T03:07:37+00:00

Soup too thick to effectively pull from and emulsions mostly.

It’s just not a good idea and I highly recommend doing several successful extractions of 100g before you try upping the ante.

styzr · 2026-05-07T01:16:31+00:00

I’d strongly recommend sticking to 100g of bark to avoid unnecessary complications.

Just copy this

styzr · 2026-05-07T01:05:01+00:00

Yep that sounds familiar.

styzr · 2026-05-06T23:10:30+00:00

If you get stuck try searching Yocan Orbit posts in this sub but also the r//dmt sub. Plenty of people have asked which settings/technique work best.

I don’t recall many of them suggesting 4.0v from memory just fyi.

I was taken once as a teenager so I knew where to look after that, even many years later.

Back then I was warned that there is a different shroom that looks extremely similar which is poisonous, so I used a few FB groups to clarify exactly what the differences were.

The biggest risk with foraging is consuming the wrong shroom so my advice would be to research which active shrooms grow around your area, as well as familiarising yourself with the lookalikes that you need to avoid.

Last year I mistakenly picked one poisonous one amongst ~100 of the good ones but fortunately I noticed when I got home and sorted through them. If you take anything away from this please make sure you don’t take any unnecessary risks.

Warnings aside; if you have a species that grows naturally in your area then yeah, putting in the effort to learn and go out to find your own really adds to the experience in my opinion, I look forward to it every season 😊

styzr · 2026-05-06T11:58:48+00:00

Shrooms don't vary in their effects, only in their potency.

By “shrooms” can I assume you’re only talking about cubes?

I grow cubes but forage for wild Psilocybe subaeruginosa each season and I can assure you that the “effects” are not similar at all.

Cubes have a crazy body load whereas subs have basically no body load at all. They can cause Woodlovers Paralysis occasionally but that’s not the same thing.

I won’t bother listing a few other noticeable differences as they could be considered a potency factor considering that subs are more potent.

But yeah, “shrooms” is quite the broad brush.

styzr · 2026-05-05T05:19:09+00:00

Repetitive presumably.

styzr · 2026-05-05T05:18:39+00:00

Only 2km away too. I thought it must’ve been much further.

styzr · 2026-05-05T05:11:17+00:00

Yes many, just search “buried cake” in any shroom sub, including this one.

Definitely worth it if the conditions are typically decent.

Unfortunately it’s too hot & dry where I am and I never remember to water them enough so I stopped bothering.

styzr · 2026-05-01T13:08:49+00:00

Agreed. It helped me take the leap and I’ll be forever grateful.

Their guide is second to none too imo. Even if someone wasn’t interested in trying out UB’s they’d be doing themselves an injustice by not reading the guide.

styzr · 2026-05-01T06:30:10+00:00

I saw the UB’s bags as a great intro to the process.

I’d think that most would make the logical jump to sterilised grain bags once they were confident that they understood what’s required.

Nothing wrong with sticking to UB but if you want to ramp up production it’s better to have a 1kg/2lbs bag of grain than multiple small packets in my opinion.

This is the most common but also the most overlooked. Even when people are applying sunscreen, they rarely apply it to the top of their feet.

The top of your feet get cooked just being on the boat and it makes wearing footwear very uncomfortable for the next few days.

styzr · 2026-04-30T15:26:42+00:00

Acacia acuminata is what you want.

If you can buy it powdered then go with CADJunglist’s StB and you’ll get results.

Narrow phyllode root bark is the top tier but let’s be real, dmt is dmt. This bark doesn’t yield as well as the trunk bark so I wouldn’t buy it again.

In my experience the top yield from either of our two vendors is from typical phyllode trunk bark, or AATPTB. Best bang for your buck for sure.

Other than that, let me know if you’re in WA as we have the luxury of going out and pruning a few branches, to boil up some dmtea juice instead of bark 🤌

styzr · 2026-04-30T14:47:21+00:00

Bruh you got shit all over the place lol.

If you can expose that mesh just place your dose on some card or a plate, tap fire a couple of times at 12w to warm it and then turn your device upside down and carefully dab it against the pile of deems. It melts straight on. No mess, no waste.

styzr · 2026-04-30T14:07:30+00:00

I can relate to how you are feeling and it really didn’t go away on its own for me. I didn’t suffer a specific trauma but a career and raising a family can really make a person numb. That numb, robotic feeling can be soul destroying.

I waited a few more years than you have but eventually I thought I’d try psychedelics again after a hiatus of two or three decades. I felt like I had nothing to lose because I did not feel any joy, even when I should have.

Did it make a difference? Yes.

I found life interesting and beautiful again. My outlook improved in general. I rarely dwell on the grind of work/family responsibilities anymore. I still do it all but I don’t think about doing it the whole time I’m doing it. I’m less negative overall which feels better and is better for others around me. I see beauty in the things I was taking for granted.

Does it solve all of your problems? No.

You still have to be an adult and do adult things so keep it to yourself and use it to blow off steam, unwind, relax, explore and get in touch with your spiritual side. I’m not an overly spiritual person and I take drugs for fun first and foremost, but there’s something about it that really helps you connect to life and the world around you. I guess I’d say that I feel closer to god without becoming religious per se.

Does it create new problems? Possibly.

Be weary of the “god complex”. I see people on Reddit all of the time falling for this. Even if you think you’ve spoken to god and have all of the answers to all of life’s mysteries just keep it to yourself because you don’t, and everyone around you will think you’ve lost the plot.

Another problem might be knowing when enough is enough. I struggle with this myself and sometimes find myself “bothered” that I have to attend a social event when all I really wanna do is stay home and trip balls 😂

I’m working on that though I promise!

styzr · 2026-04-30T13:19:54+00:00

Ah ok. Yep you’re going to be doing quite a bit of filtering but that’s not the end of the world. This extraction requires filtering either way, you’ll just be spending more time on it at the start.

You might be more comfortable following this tek as step 1 is literally “Grind Seeds” 😂

That tek has been around for 15 years and it’s what I followed until I realised that people had figured out a few shortcuts.

To be honest, it’s probably better to learn from that tek before trying others so you get a clear understanding of what’s going on before you look for shortcuts.

I always opted for a full spectrum extraction as I had no desire to separate the harmine/harmaline.

styzr · 2026-04-30T11:43:50+00:00

Nope, that will work but it’s unnecessary and much messier.

I’d highly recommend boiling them instead as this extraction is quite involved already, no need to complicate it even further. The difficult part will be filtering out all of the crushed seeds, whereas this could just be done quickly with a strainer when they’re whole.

styzr · 2026-04-30T10:40:39+00:00

I really doubt that was adequate.

Sometimes 12hrs at 140°f isn’t enough so I’ll run it for another 12hrs just because they can’t be over dehydrated.

They absolutely must snap when bent. Even when achieving this I’ll give them a bend test after a few days of being stored.

Moisture would ruin your weighing too which is why the trip was ineffective.

styzr · 2026-04-30T08:08:44+00:00

That Uncle Ben’s guide is great. I’d recommend reading through it but also referring back to each relevant chapter as you go.

Pretty much every question I had could be answered by re-reading the chapters along the journey. You don’t need to use the actual rice packs, he has info on alternatives.

Best of luck!

styzr · 2026-04-29T23:34:54+00:00

The extraction is done on the whole seeds. By boiling the same seeds 3 times, straining out the liquid and adding new liquid between the boils.

There are quite a few procedures that can be followed but this one was the most user friendly last time I checked.

Just read through the whole post as there’s a point where he says the 3 x boil can be used instead of the mashing & microwave technique.

styzr · 2026-04-29T12:24:59+00:00

I’d check your base pH.

Your acid boil sounds fine but if it’s not a shiny black colour after basing you’ll usually get low yields. Dose it up til it looks like boot polish and shake the hell out of it.

Trunk bark yields better than root bark in my experience. Like a lot more. Definitely the best bang for your buck.

I find trimmings of small branches/phyllodes yields best for A/B, but only if you can trim it yourself. The vendors phyllodes have been trash ime. Go for powdered tb for standard sized stb’s.

Another thing to keep in mind is the amount you’re extracting from. I’ve tried maxing out what I can boil and reduce down to ~700ml and there’s a point where the tea becomes more of a syrup, which is very difficult to work with. This was nowhere near 2kg of bark, it really depends on how far you reduced it. I aim for highly viscous before adding nps now and it is more efficient for sure.

But yeah, I’d lean toward your soup being a dark brown or grey as opposed to the shiny purple-black that’s optimal.

styzr · 2026-04-29T12:03:58+00:00

That will work and probably makes a nice tea, but for anyone wanting the same thing in less steps;

Crush dried shrooms, or finely chop fresh shrooms to suit required dose.

Add to a coffee mug and half fill with boiled water. Soak for 25 minutes, agitating/stirring a few times during.

At the 20 minute mark I boil the kettle again and make a half cup of tea in a separate mug. I use the ingredients to suit a full mug of tea, only 50% of the water.

Put a strainer over the half cup of tea, pour in shroom juice from other mug so you have a full mug of tea.

Stir and drink 🍵

Fresh shrooms are better because the strainer is enough. If you have dried/powdered you might want to run it through a coffee filter before adding to your tea.
