i would think it was degrading from the moment it was dried out, and i have heard freebase is not what you want to eat, a salt works better. is why i use citric acid to pull the alc from the fruit body.

Thats an interesting idea, how do you extract product without excess citric acid?

looks great for a group camping trip or something

good stuff AL, thx for posting. Water extractions have always been more potents, but have always fucked with my stomach, thats why I like COTG with cubes. Tea is way better if it doesnt make you sick though

all that needs to be added is 500mg to the tea an it will lower the ph so to release the alkaloid, a half of a 1000mg vit C

i add about an oz dry to make tea and it works well for me

Hey Al. i made a water extraction with a 7grams, a couple cups of distilled water, and 140* water. stirred then strained after about an hour. left with a blue water. i put it in a double boiler and a fan on it. once all the water evapped, i scrapped like 3gs of blue goo. two of my friends tried what equals to 2gs each and didnt feel anything. i had 1 g, plus "1g" of tinture, and "1g" of cotg using 50/50 and vinegar and i was tripping a bit. but not great. any idea why my friends didnt feel anything. did i make a mistake?

[AL2O3]

not sure, it could be that you need to use the Alc to break the cell wall down before the extraction with water.

[BeEnvious]

What about water being the simplest extraction? i thought i could make tea and evap the water. idk. ppl were saying they were tripping hard off just the water extraction goo.

[AL2O3]

yeah, you can just make tea and evaporate. the goo works, but hard to get like a crystal IME with out the everclear or solvent

[BeEnvious]

o yeah, i know that. but i was just looking to make some goo balls or capsules instead of the crystals. and it just didnt work. the crystals do though.

COTG extractions r always a good read

[neowulf]

Yeah I'm really looking forward to trying it myself

[Taven9]

I read many posts and they had reduced it to granular crystals. It was kept soaked in a solvent in the freezer.
Seems liek a great way to store the goodies. Pretty sure they said 100mg was the threshold/starter dose.
Another started with a known weight of shrooms and extracted them to equally soaked paper discs with equal amounts that calculated to the extract equivilent of 2gm per disc , dried and frozen. 20gm dry shrooms whould make 10 discs.
This just sounds like a fun thing to try.
