Just one typo that I noticed: You wrote "The tek suggests that the final product may contain "hydroxide". Hydroxide is not da molecule..." I think you meant to type just "a" not "da".


Good catch, thanks.

After getting the go-ahead from Traveler, I sent the email yesterday afternoon. A few hours later I got a reply thanking us for being the squeaky wheel here. They're completely in agreement on the health and safety concerns, and they have given it a prominent note of warning at the top, including an abridged version of our list of concerns; check it out: http://www.erowid.org/ch..._extraction_guide1.shtml

I'm impressed at how quickly they took action! Good on erowid Smile

And thank you Shaolin for creating this thread to organize the community on this issue; when the Nexus puts its mind to something, we can do good things Very happy

Awesome results! Here we see the true power of a community.

Thank you Shaolin for creating this thread and thank you Entropymancer for making a near perfect letter for Erowid and thank you to all the other people providing input. I feel really proud about this result.


Kind regards,

The Traveler

Awesome! Erowid is all about harm reduction. Worth donating to. They save hundreds of lives with their info.
Marijuana, LSD, psilocybin, and DMT they all changed the way I see

Funny that you came across this post from 2011. I too dug this up a few months ago during my extraction research.

I was incredibly impressed by the fortitude shown here to get this Tek revised.

I cannot believe the guy was using ziplock bags as seperatory funnels, not to mention encouraging someone to possibly put flames to naphtha, only to finish it off with "don't worry about weighing". I mean wow.

It was this very thread where Entropymancer and Shaolin inspired me to not only make my own Tek, but to provide sufficient and detailed precautions for the steps involved. Gotta credit Hailstorm for ingraining harm reduction in me as well.

What happened to Entropymancer and Shaolin?

Yeah, i haven't seen those two in a while. I don't know what happened. Maybe they got bad wifi. That happens even to the best of people.

Stumbling across this thread 12 years later... Oh wow 😂
I remember finding QT's tech on Erowid and elsewhere when I first became curious about this (and getting confused by the gaps in logic while reading it) and I remember going back and finding it emblazoned with edits on Erowid's page, but I missed this organized effort to correct it the middle Smile
Stellar job, OG Nexians! 💛

You get a lot of credit not even for your own tek, but for (hopefully) starting a new generation of tek-writing. This is 2023, yet people are still using teks written many years ago, as if there was nothing to improve on.

I appreciate that sentiment, as it was certainly an intention. At the time, when I was a brand new user and looking at the TEKS, although they aren't confusing to me now, they certainly were then. So I made it a goal/challenge to create a pictorial TEK from the ground up whilst experimenting. And I've made great strides in changing one variable at a time.

I've managed to get my yield from 1.258% to 1.646% after 5 extractions. I'm aiming for that 2%!!!
