my guess would be during your drying process, oxygen degrades the actives so the longer it takes to evap and dry it could be oxidizing.. but thats just a guess on my part because I havent tried this yet.

Well def felt something, I ate 7grams dry, but I was on 3mg klonopin, I think that diminished my trip:( doing some more samples tomo so I'll have a better idea

Did you know that kpins effect tripping? Because if you did then you knowingly wasted 7gs

Old thread I know, but so so amazing! I am starting this process tomorrow! Going to use about a half oz of some not so freshly dried boomers to start.
Wondering about a couple things:
Extract Filtration: Do I really need a Buchner Funnel? What is the advantage of using one of these vs say a coffee filter?
Vacuum Distillation: I bought what I think is the same brake bleeding kit in the OP. Do I just drill a hole in the top of a regular metal lid and RTV one of the adaptors in there? Is there any danger of this setup exploding from the negative pressure? I've never attempted anything like this so if anyone can give some guidance it would be much appreciated!
Finally, it would be really helpful if anyone who has experience with this tek could give their approximate times for each of the steps as an extra assurance.
Cannot wait to try this!

Buchner funnel is just the name of the actual lab equipment you could use for this. It obviously wouldn't get as clogged as a coffee filter so that's an obvious benefit, but the OP was just trying to make this as relatively scientific as possible by using names of all the lab equipment and glassware instead of just saying "yeah I used a brake bleed kit and a sketchy Mason jar setup to do this".
To answer your second question: You're not supposed to use certain shaped containers to do these kinds of things, but you'll be able to get away with the same sketchy Mason jar setup used in this tek. I've done it a couple times myself and still survived, but you'll want to inspect your jars every time you do this because little fractures will start to form if you're not extra careful with these.

Ok, so I got up to the Vacuum Distillation part. I pulled a -25 PSI vacuum for 2-3 hours and even tried heating a bit but no boiling/evaporation happened at all. I think I used the wrong attachment. I used a cone shaped one with a really small hole, may not have been enough room for the liquid to move through. I am rebooting with the "barbed" straight tube attachment. The silicone is drying now, will update.
Again, if anyone has some rough times for how long vacuum distillation should take it would be a great benchmark!
Edit: I forgot to mention: My solvent is 151 proof Everclear.

Alright, I was able to get my Vacuum Distillation rig working but I had to use heat. Because of this, the tubing tried to collapse and ultimately made the process take around 6.5 hours. Also, I had TONS of precipitates possibly due to the heat. I ended up with 60mL of solution for my initial 20g of shrooms. (Double the amount of solution I was shooting for but I figure I will just get twice the volume of candy? Correct me if I'm wrong) Anyway, I added 120mL of sugar/koolaid and stirred for about 30 min, I think all the sugar dissolved but I still see precipitates. I decided to just go for it and put it on the wax paper, which is where I am now in the process. Fingers crossed!
P.S. I couldn't resist eating a spoonful of the solution which was freaking delicious!

Sugars are only slightly soluble in EtOH
To get your sugar to dissolve, especially at a 2:1 ratio, youll need H2O If you are using an EtOH/H2O solution, the EtOH will evap 1st, leaving you with just H2O eventually
the azeotrope of EtOH/H20 is 95.5% EtOH at 20c you can get 200g sugar dissolved in 100ml H2O

^ this.
This was discussed earlier in the post, maybe in the OP. Will said if you use high-proof ethanol that you'd have to add some water dropwise to get it all in.
Also, I'm pretty sure heat fucked my results. A hand pump isn't really feasible for this, which is why I heated it.
A water aspirator (it's called an allonge or something like that, I can't find the real name right now) or a real hydraulic pump is needed. If your tubing collapses, you need to stop what you're doing, combine everything and start over with better tubing.

Great tek! hopefully you don't mind the old bump.
I was curious about the 4 hour soak time listed in step 2. Is this the same when using water as the solvent? Just soak it in cold water for 4 hours?
Tried this recently but made tea with boiling water and then boiled it down to 50 ml. (no vacuum distiller, working on that) The resulting candy was not very effective so it appears that avoiding heat is the way to go

alright...this is awesome. In 2 months when my fruits are ready for harvest I am going to do this.
btw the finished product looks sexy like psychedelic candy . much praise to you!

I'm so going to try this!
That being said I wanted to read the scientific journal he was referencing. So I found a copy of it on the interwebs:

Hey Will,
How long do these treats normally last? Also, if you make these with unacidified tea that's been boiled to denature the phosphatase in the mushies, would that be better? Cuz I was thinking that low ph solutions dephosphorylize psilocybin to psilocin, and that could cause noticable potency loss. I'm also worried that liquor over 70% abv wouldn't be as effective of a solvent.
I apologize, I'm not certain what I'm asking. I'm really just trying to get a candy recipe with a long shelf life that tastes great for microdosing

Make a tin foil mold

Line mold with a thin layer of fondant and pour in your rock candy solution

Once hardened flip candy out of the mold and pour melted chocolate over it

Once cooled trim excess fondant/chocolate and enjoy!
This has got to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my life, and I am now set on making one!
