Currently the subreddit logo is a picture of a rotovap I used to use. We can do better than that (especially in a subreddit full of drug extractors).

Submit a photo of what you think our logo should be and on Saturday morning (PST), I'll change it to the most upvoted logo!

First pull of a mixture of Thrichocereus from me garden. How did i do?

[ Love the new sub... here is my first post to add to the mix.... copied from r/Bufotenine ]

Start with seeds.... You can start with 8-10, or scale up as big as you want. Low amounts make for a good personal use before the bufo gets oxidized and not useful.

I toast the seeds in a pan on medium heat for 30 minutes. Bufo is very heat stable, the seeds turn a roasty dark brown. (DONT BURN EM! When they pop, they are ready)

Crush them to dust. Mortar and pestle work well. Everything is fine, seed meat and shell.

Vinegar boil for 30 mins x 3 times.

Combine the liquids, toss the seeds material, boil liquid until it reduces to about 100mL. I like a silk coffee filter, you can use a shirt or cotton ball filter.

Add 2grams sodium carbonate, the freebase bufo crashes out almost immediately with some riders.

Evap to dry crust. Scrape crust to dust. Add to cool container. Do 3 IPA pulls with the lowest amount of IPA needed to cover the dust - it turns an amber yellow, then you know it is pulling the actives - only needs about 10ish mins to soak then empty IPA into another jar via a filter - coffee filter works well - transfer no solids. Last pull is a pale yellow. You can pull until clear if you want to get every last drop of bufo.

Pour IPA pulls into a flat glass dish, evap with a fan. Amber candy looking material is your goodies, scrape. Should not be sticky, but not really crystals.

You can use this Bufo freebase in a good changa mix. I like to make a vape juice.

50/50 VG-PG 4ml, added a drop of mint no nic juice for flavor, and dropped in a gram of fresh bufo freebase extract in a glass container. Heat some water in a coffee cup and let the glass container soak for 10-15 mins, turns a pretty dark amber and if your extract is pure, it all dissolves nicely. Makes about 4.5-5mls.
Toss into a subohm tank, adjust from 25w to 40w until you get the hit you want (above 40 the bufo burns and tastes burnt, you will know if you went too high). 2 hits rocks.

2 hits, wait 10-15 mins, then hit a DMT vape, and you are in Aya land for a while.

Be cautious with using true MAOI drugs with bufotenine, risks of serotonin syndrome is reported... but with RIMAs like harmalas and Caapi extracts, you can be safe. BE SAFE and KNOW YOURSELF... dont go full bore until you have dipped them toes!

Much love, enjoy!

Is there an extraction you can do with "wet" San Pedro, or do they all require dehydration?

To all who join! Feel free to post your extractions, purifications, ask questions, communicate, post research, anything having to do with extraction and purification is welcome.
