hello everybody!
it's the first time SWIM attempts an extraction, and even without experience, he has found a very good help in this site!
But he has encountered some difficulties:
He procedeed with a STB extraction ("lazyman's tek"
, followed by a defatting step (water + vinegar addded to solvent).
Then basified water was added to restore ph 14 (circa) and then new solvent was added.
now, this is the problem: there is a strange white fluid floating in the interphase between water and solvent.
is that DMT? or is it still in the solvent?
1. The answer is yes:
SWIM has separated the white goo and has put it in the freezer for some hours.
now there is a white cold cream (like an ice-cream!) and some clear yellow solvent above.
the solvent was poured, the cream was spread onto a plate in the sunlight ( to dry it).
the resultance are some yellowish/orange/grey crystals. he has tried to assume them in various ways ( chilum, snorting, lightbulb) but nothing, or just a little happened.
what can SWIM do? has he been making mistakes?
2. The answer is no: Where is that thing???
PLEASE HELP!!!
