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.shtmlI'm impressed at how quickly they took action! Good on erowid 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

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

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 But love's the only thing that ever saved my life - Sturgill Simpson "Turtles all the Way Down" Why am I here?

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? 🌳👨🔬🌳 - My A/B Hot Plate TEK - 🌳👨🔬🌳 🍜🍜🍜 - Don't Heat Your Naphtha, Heat Your Soup! - 🍜🍜🍜 ✴✴✴ - White Spice vs Yellow Spice - 🌟🌟🌟 "You are an explorer, and you represent our species, and the greatest good you can do is to bring back a new idea, because our world is endangered by the absence of good ideas.

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 Stellar job, OG Nexians! 💛 https://www.dmt-nexus.me...ers/house/DMTDiagram.png"To fathom Hell, or soar angelic, just take a pinch of Psychedelic." -Humphrey Osmond "Describing the difference between MDMA and MDA to the unexperienced is like trying to explain the difference between shiraz and cabernet to someone who only thinks in terms of 'red wine / white wine'." -Lamont Granquist "Yo!

This is 2023, yet people are still using teks written many years ago, as if there was nothing to improve on.

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%!!! 🌳👨🔬🌳 - My A/B Hot Plate TEK - 🌳👨🔬🌳 🍜🍜🍜 - Don't Heat Your Naphtha, Heat Your Soup! - 🍜🍜🍜 ✴✴✴ - White Spice vs Yellow Spice - 🌟🌟🌟 "You are an explorer, and you represent our species, and the greatest good you can do is to bring back a new idea, because our world is endangered by the absence of good ideas.
