is there a Methanol Extraction Tek?
and i got laughed at before because i said i have methanol and it is BLUE, and they told me it was windhsield washing fluid and it says right on the gallon jug METHANOL ... plus i baught it from an autoparts store and i know the owner VERY WELL, i have baught this before and used it in my carbs for 4wheelers and snowmobiles... so i know its methanol, ANYWAYS, is there a tek out there? ive searched and found only ALCOHAL and METHANOL IS WAY CHEAPER! thanx

whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT ANYTHING YOU READ! METHANOL IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS CAUSES BLINDING!!! IF ITS BLUE ITS DENATURED WHICH MEANS POISONS ARE ADDED SO PEOPLE DONT DRINK IT!!! I REPEAT DONT DRINK IT!!!
my grandma just died about an hour ago and i dont think you want to as well!
if you wanna try making a tincture, use straight up moonshine. MAKE SURE ITS NOT DENATURED!

Yes I work with chemicals (Chemical Inspector), And methanol is a clear chemical so if it is blue then it has additives in it. Methanol is added to Ethanol to make it Denatured Ethanol (which means its non-drinking alcohol). MEOH short for Methanol causes Blindness if ingested. You want to use Grain Alcohol, you can get at a Liquor Store, also known as everclear.... I know what I'm talking about, If you do use Methanol you must make sure that the methanol has evaporated completely as it leaves no residue to hurt you. Just use Ethanol much safer for an extraction.......

I wasn't laughing at you but the truth hasn't changed. Methanol is not blue. What you have at least has dye in it if not other things. Click the above link for some info on methanol. Methanol is colorless.
You can use methanol to extract but with two very important requirements: 1. It must be pure. 2. It must be evaporated completely from the extract.
If these requirements aren't met, the extract could be very dangerous to use.
Do a search in the advanced cult forum for methanol extraction. There's plenty of threads. This is a somewhat recent and popular thread that discusses it.
Good luck.

i used everclear before, here's the result of 8g after a soak and evaporation- me and a friend tripped pretty good off it. i wouldn't use methanol from anywhere but a chem supply house. you only need like 3-4oz to do like 10g anyway, not that expensive

More of an understanding of polar and non-polar solvents is needed before experimenting with any type of extraction, as well as cell wall permeability. Nothing good can come from experimentation or half hazard cooked up ideas without knowledge. This would not only attract more attention from a federal level due to deaths and serious illnesses, it would destroy think tanks such as the shroomery due to scrutiny. Although possible, if this is a community of learning, practice some discretion on advising anyone without a VERY sound knowledge foundation and experience. Keep it simple and use the old fashion recipes listed or dry and capsule at the most. IMHO, but in the end it will be your health and in the case of methanol, loss of vision and liver damage (regardless of evaporation due to many commercial products containing non active ingredients that can form a residue bound to methanol molecules after evaporation, but released with an ion substitution in the body).

FYI The windshield wiper fluid is probably 70% methanol. To get anything usable from it would require distillation. Figure on spending several hundred dollars for the labglass.

Actually you can get a very nice distilling set from ebay for around $100
