marsfold tek virola

Would the tek work on Virola rootbark??????

I never tried a polar extraction with virola , but i've done the traditional water extraction and in my opinion I don't need any more other tek , snorted work's fine for me.
you can also consume it orally with Tabernaemontana , i tried this week my first time with virola orally in combination with ayhuasca , with caapi ,Brugmansia suaveolens flowers ,Brunfelsia chiricaspi leaves ,virola and Diplopterys cabrerana ,but i don't advise you i don't remember nothing about my week-end.
But Tabernaemontana is enough to make virola orally active i think the rootbark is also snorted in brazil in combo with Virola extract , maybe the best way to consume it.

maybe you can try a polar etraction but you may need to clean it with a solvent before the basification or may not, i m not sure about it.

I did the extraction. and gonna wait overnight for the results. I hope it worked, cause i did it without ph meter. And it was also a practise round for the MHRB extraction.
I have a question: how come my lye solution is cloudy and not transparant like on the foto of heartcore's extraction?? And the lye is very hot because of the reaction???

You probably used tap water. Tap water has magnesium and calcium salts dissolved in it, among other trace impurities. lye solution ( sodium hydroxide ) precipitates on mixing with a magnesium/calcium solution.

So next time, just use distilled water.

or, if you can't find that, demineralized water

here's a little riddle to solve, how can this be:

Distilled water is demineralized water, but demineralized water is not distilled water.

And you're right, mixing lye with water releases enormous amounts of heat. It's called hydratation enthalpie, just a fancy term for "getting wet energie"

damn it!!!! no magic there!!!
Lets wait for my ph meter and try the mhrb.!!

The riddle:
demineralizing and distil.... are two different processes........??
