Hey, I just wanna know how essential it is to cook the acid/mhrb. Shouldn't the acid break away most of the dmt byitself without heat? And if not then shouldn't the lye take care of the rest?

My understanding is that the heat helps move the process along for maximum efficacy in the shortest duration. Not required though.

if i am not mistaken, the heat lyses the cells of the mhrb.
though you could probably microwave it or something..

BLAB employs no heat vinegar soak for about 3 days, but if you did 3 acid cooks (30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours) and then let it sit in acid till you need it later. combine the first three and youd be ready to reduce in just 3.5 hours, vs 3 days. im sure youll get more in those 3.5 hours of 3 pulls than you would in 3 days of 1 pull.
