A story of one my many fails:
I had a jar of spice infused solvent evaporating in front of a fan. Full extraction, probably 1.5-2 grams worth. I wanted to speed it up so I set the jar kinda on it's edge and made sure it was well supported so it wouldn't roll around or spill. Well, I accidentally bumped the table and watched as the jar tipped rolled and dumped my whole extraction into my cork yoga block which was conveniently sitting right below the table. I was bemoaning my fate in chat about it and House was like, just think of it this way, every time you do yoga now you'll reach for your block and know hyperspace is right there with yoyu. Now every time I'm doing yoga and reach for my block I crack a little smile an remember what is sitting right behind the veil.
I'm going to look into different methods of extracting, I've been doing my version of the lazyman's tek for six years now, but I never want to repeat what happened.
And, that's rough. I would have been upset as well, to be so close yet so far. At least, in the end, you turned it into something positive. Does the yoga block still smell like DMT?
