My apartment is cursed, some sewer pumps blew out and I had to sleep outside a few nights ago until everything was fixed. I woke up one morning being choked off by the smell of sewer gas. Disgusting. Things were supposedly fixed, and I've been sleeping with the windows closed the past few nights because it's getting cold, and started feeling sick. There were still some weird things happening in the house, so I called the city to have an inspection done for methane just to make sure I wasn't breathing in some kind of residual gas that might result in waking up dead.

I had some limo-soaking bark that I had to hide very cleverly, obscure my bongs, etc... This was a very last-minute occurrence...

Everything turned out to be fine (thank god!). I was informed at the end, that they didn't JUST test for methane, but tons of other potentially dangerous gases... and... solvents!!

Specialists sent by the city tested my apartment for the presence of solvents and the limo went undetected.

Just some things to think about when choosing solvents. I had NO control over this happening to me in my apartment, the situation HAD to be addressed ASAP, and had I been extracting with something else, I could have ended up in some trouble.

I can see the headlines now: dangerous urban drug lab busted!! But luckily you turned them into: ORANGE PEEL JUICE HELPS AVERT DISASTER!

Glad to hear no ill came of it and that in addition to not breathing noxious fumes you are not fighting off an imposing cellmate named GRISELDA!!

Makes me want to make the foodsafe jump...

Cheers to your good health!

How low of them to use the test in SWIY's house for sewer-gas as a guise for unknowingly testing SWIY's house for drug extraction-related solvents.

The Machine goes a step further in breaking into and controlling our private lives every day.
Luckily mother nature gave us orange peels. Nature provides and preserves us.

The only thing SWIM's concerned about is that this forum is probably closely watched by the leaders of the modern pharmacological inquisition.
Everything SPWAU(Some People Who Aren't Us...lolz) find out to dodge their tyrany and proceed making and sharing enlightening and spiritually unblinding substances, they (The inquisitive tyrants that rule us.) will find out very soon too.

D-limonene seems preferable to other solvents, because of it's health-safety as well as because of it's poor detectability.
SWIM wonders: Is it easily/cheaply obtained? SWIM recalls once reading that D-limonene could simply be extracted in a lengthy hot-water infusion of powdered orange peels. If that were true then only evaporation could separate the D-limonene from the water. Is it that simple indeed?

If it is indeed that easy to obtain then it isn't only much safer(Health AND Law-wise) than other solvents, but also incredibly cheap, then SWIM is jumping to D-limonene his very next spice-extraction.

you need 200kgs of orange peels for making 1l of limonene, so its not that easy to get a manageable quantity for extractions But you can just order it. In USA many people in the forum seem to order from greenterpene .. In Europe many order from jimjamshop. There are for sure other suppliers around.

but yeah, I love limo
