extraction tek--can this work?
    #22246727 - 09/16/15 04:05 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

I just watched a video illustrating a simple method for extracting and preserving psilocybin. The presenter uses straight Everclean and nothing else. Just lets the ground dry mushrom material sit for 24 hours in a certain amount of Everclear, then strains the mush solids out and puts the strained alcohol out to evaporate a while until he gets it down to say 10cc, or whatever, and, voila! done. He may reepeat this process several times on the mush until he had gotten aoo the alkaloids out--as he puts it--but the basic tek is as described above.

Can this actually work? This guy doesn't seem like an airhead to me--but I thought psilocybin is not really soluble in alki, that water does a much better job. Has anyone tried the straight alki route? No heat, nothing but a 24 hour sit and a period of evaporation.

Here is the video. It is long--30 mins--and that is why I summarized it. I give the link so anyone who wants can watch a little and get a feel for the quality of the promoter.

nope, wrong, bogus bullshit.

hot water is the best solvent. everclear sucks dick, vodka would be far superior to everclear because it has 60% water.

hot water works far better. hence why we make tea, with boiling water.

evaporation to concentrate the actives doesn't work well either, even with water which is a great solvent for them.

you could add everclear back to your extraction to act as a mild preservative if you're worried. most people just make tea fresh or freeze it.

yea. iv got a batch from 3 yrs ago still in my freezer. its still good. i couldve done a better job.. but hey its good. and less suspicious.
"oh nah man. thats just a half pint jar of moonshine my buddy gave me.."
just get the highest proof you can get if you cant find everclear. the less water in the mix the less breakdown of the actives youll have over time.

:justno:

you want water, like 100% water and maybe some vitamin C

psilocin and psilocybin are only slightly soluble in ethanol. they're extremely soluble in water. if you use everclear the actives are hanging out in the 1-5% water if you get 190-198 proof

water is terrible for it. psilo bonds to oxygen. so during the evap process (more so with heat evap) it will attatch to the O2 that was formerly H2O. and the freezing process with a high enough concentration of actives can cause crystalization of psilo.

crystals of the gods has been known to be complete bullshit for over 10 years. :shrug: the results always will be inactive salts

websites like erowid and things like the crystals of the gods TEK are the reason why so many people are this misinformed to this day.

i know some people tried vaping it and what not. i never thought that a good idea. always used liquid and it was fine. and i evaped using a dehumidifier not boiling. but last time i used it was last year at a festival. lit up like 10 people. and it was about 2 yrs old then. but to each their own.  :shrug:

the crystals you get have been proven to be inactive dozens and dozens of times.

if you do use the Crystals of the Gods tek you actually want to stop before you get crystals. the actives are slightly soluble in ethanol so they will be in solution. that's fine and and all but it's 100x quicker and better of an extraction to just make some fucking tea. ice cube tray the leftovers

STAMETS

Paul Stamets even mentions extraction in his 1996 book - "PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS of the WORLD". Quote - page 50-51 "Another method I have seen is to soak crushed mushrooms in 75+% ethanol. AFter two to three days, the roughage can be filtered, leaving a dark- blue elixir that can be decanted accordingly. For every fresh 5 grams of mushrooms, 25-30 milliliters of alcohol is recommended. Psilocybin and psilocin dissolve into this solvent, and the alcohol also acts as a preservative. I really don't have much experience with this technique, but have talked to people who say it is their preferred method. SOme call this "blue juice."
it at least is a good preservative.

i never actually got to the crystals myself. just got it waaaaay down and used the psilo infused liquid solution. so thats good to know at least

yep the liquid before your get crystals is very potent. but why bother jamming the actives into ethanol when you have water...

also paul himself has recanted many of the things he said back in years like 1996 :shrug:

a great example of people reading only what they want to read is paul's other book that says 86F is a great temperature to incubate cubes at. which has long since been proven wrong but it's in the book. Paul himself no longer agrees with what he wrote but it's broken the active mushroom growing community for so long because people that grow magic mushrooms do research worse than 4th graders.

Another thing Paul said back in 1990 something was that you should incubate cubes in the dark.

long since proven wrong. still in the old book, noobs still get that wrong.

nearly 50+ % of everything paul wrote before 1997 is probably wrong or not 100% true anymore.

Quote:

  *Incubating dark is another thing in Paul Stamets 'The Mushroom Cultivator' that needs to go away. The old advice of "incubate in total darkness" is bunk. Those words were written by Stamets in TMC 20 years ago, and he disavows that advice today.

Willsolvem prefers to use ethanol as the solvent in his candy extraction tek. TL uses vodka in his shroom jello shots recipe. I used moonshine once to create a tincture. Ethanol works it just takes longer to extract than water.

:whathesaid:
the difference between slightly soluable and very soluable. I say make tea, add everclear if you want ethanol as a preservative.

either way storage is your problem, light and air are a problem regardless if you use water or ethanol.

You can use both but water does work faster(21min) and in my opinion better alongside ascorbic and citric at around 170f....the ethanol extract can be ultimately manipulated as well to preform better.

Everclear taste like shit tho:crazy2:
