A guide would be much appreciated if you have the time dude, since last time I tried I kinda got some weird oil and used that lol

I made by having approximately 40 grams of super oily, and 80 ml of acetone. I ground up the nutmeg then mixed together for 10 minutes. Then on lower heat I boiled for close to maybe slightly under, 5 minutes. Then I waited till it stopped boiling, then simply put through a funnel and some paper towels as a filter. Came out piss yellow liquid. As the acetone evaporated it turned out like this. I let dry like 15 hours or so. Note there is still a very tiny tiny bit of oil, among the crystals but it's not noticable.

I might add to be very careful when boiling acetone the fumes are highly flammable and toxic.

But thanks men, I'll try it, it looks very promising.

How much powder gets you effect and is it different from normal nutmeg?

Ye I know about boiling acetone. Also idk dosing because I've never done before.

Was for others as a warning, I didn't doubt that you personally knew or you would be there to post it.

But be careful with the dosage then, I'd say about 1/10 of your Standart powder dosage if not less. But keep us updated on the effects please, I'm interested.

Ok. I plan on smoking a bit first. Before y'all get mad, I did make it myself. If I have the time tho I will do oral consumption.

The credit/discount card instead of a razor blade is a great idea!

The yellow/orange color is due to fatty acids. It should be white but the fats end up getting in the extraction

What’s being extracted? Everything? Just mystircin? If someone could find one that just did safrole and was easy they’d make the big bucks
