Ok, So have been interested in MG seeds for a while now and I know everything I should know to do it. I was thinking of doing an extraction, but I am worried about the petroleum ether, I have everything else I need, but this has got me in two ways 1. Where to buy it 2. Do I want to drink/ eat anything that has ever been near this?!? Mainly the latter, I am just worried that it wont evaporate well enough. What do you guys think, I though Chem store but there isn't one close?
if you buy petroleum ether and says that on the label it will be very expensive due to the fact it is lab quality, for this mg prep (extraction) you can use naphtha, which is petroleum ether just a lower quality which is no problem. the naphtha WILL evaporate from the mg powder so dont worry about it, you can buy naphtha at most hardware stores, i got mine from home depot by the way get straight Naphtha or VM&P Naphtha any other may have extra nasty stuff, to test this pour a bit on a dish or bowl and let it evaporate if there is any residue left on the plate there is extra stuff in there , avoid using this naphtha.
get ronsonol lighter fluid, or one of the other brands (research before you use). If there is nothing on the web about it, then do what trippy hippy said. "Lab-grade" naphtha or VM&P naphtha or ronsonol lighter fluid should all cost roughly the same ammount. Infact, VM&P and lab might be cheaper because you can probably only buy them in bulk. I'd say just do a plain and simple water "extraction" before trying the full extraction.
I second the cold-water extraction, its so easy. Give it a few days and agitate every couple of hours. The longer you let it sit the better the trip. I haven't had any disappointments with cold-water. If its too hard to chug down make some kool-aid with it
i hear it works good after an hour in cold water...if crushed..but keep it away from heat and light cause both break down the lsa or so i hear...better safe than sorry =p
yeah dude, that petroleum ether shit is SKETCH there's really no reason to do it that way, cold water works FINE!. Guide: http://www.hipforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=245494
I prefer Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds to morning glories because the amount of seed mush you end up eating, or even if you strain it in water, the amount of glycosides you ingest makes you much more sick. You get sick enough on HBWR seeds...
