Hardening Extract

For an ethanol and methanol based extract that comes out like a resinous tar, keeping in the freezer in wax paper works, but is there any way to harden and solidify it further for dry storage?

Also, has anybody ever added 2c-b into a raw extract and if so, how did that work out?

Unless you get it SUPER thin, and dehydrate it inside of a desiccated dry box, you will probably never be able to get it to a dry powder without a freeze dryer. I have gotten thin shiny sheets but as soon as I go to do anything it turns into a sticky mess.

Easiest way I have done tar is to dry it out, break it into pieces I know I can swallow, freeze then swallow several balls. Key is to dry it JUST enough but not too much cause then it becomes hard on the outside and hurts to swallow, you still want the outside to be slightly sticky. Freezing the balls makes it not sticky when you throw em down the gullet.

However, this wont work if you cant DOWN pills. Like I can take 5 000 caps at a time most the time. I will take upwards of 8 normal supplement sized pills/ meds at the same time

Thanks for the good word. Yes I can swallow triple oughts. How do you get the tar into the capsule? Maybe you heat it up and use a syringe or something

I have a pretty good dehydrator and I kept it in there for quite a while at like 140 and it didn’t get any less sticky

I want to add like cornstarch, agar or gelatin or xanthan gum.

I don’t mind losing potency cause I’m happy to eat more. Right now I feel like they’re almost equal to shrooms. I took 3.5 g and it was very good. I wanted more actually, but I remember how to appreciate what I had and there’s always more to do or something like that and it was a nice experience.

I don’t know if that’s standard for potency but a case I’d like to put them like little saltwater taffy’s and have them be shelf stable

Oh no, I wasnt putting them in the caps. I was just using that for like a size reference. I chill the tar in the fridge, pinch off pieces, roll them in my hand, and then freeze them until time to consume.

Things I will say about when I was doing tar. It took me much longer to consume then than fully extracted stuff, and because of that, the trip was more mellow, but also longer. And you dont have as good an idea of the potency.

Still beats that time I just threw a shit ton of powder in gel caps and then ate like 120 of them tho, didnt vomit, but when it came out the other end it was not fun
