LSA extract tincture
Items needed
- 300-500 seeds of organic Morning Glory or 5-8 HBWR per dose (see chart)
- 500ml of Naphtha (lighter fluid)
- 60ml of purest ethanol you can find (preferably 80%+ grain alcohols, like Everclear)
- 2 glass mason jars
- Something to grind seeds with (I.E, coffee grinder, food processor)
- Some coffee filters
Procedure
- Pulverize and grind seeds to powder. Espresso grinders are ideal, but coffee grinders work fine as long as you work with them, shaking it and pulsing it in 5 second intervals until a fine powder is obtained. You're aiming for the consistency of flour, but it doesn't have to entirely perfect.
- Place the seed powder into a glass mason jar and cover with naphtha. Its better to go over than under here, 1 ml/1 seed seems to be the basic rule, although a little extra naphtha is only a good thing.
- Put the lid on the jar and shake it profusely. Let sit for 15-20 minutes, shaking as much as you can every 5 minutes.
- Shake jar once more, then filter contents of the jar by pouring through a paper coffee filter into a second mason jar.
- Save the filter paper with seed powder on it. If you like, save the filtered naphtha. You can get reuse this over and over until it is too dirty to continue. Just store it safely; this is a petrochemical that is highly toxic and flammable, so keep it stored and labeled.
- Let the filter with the seed powder in it dry thoroughly. This could take several days, or hours. It varies on how much you are extracting at the time, and whether you used HBWR or morning glory. Large batches can take weeks so just be patient.
- In the meantime, clean the leftover jar very thoroughly, make sure to clean the lid.
- Once the seed powder has dried to crumbly powder consistency, transfer this to the jar you just cleaned.
- Add 2-3oz. of alcohol per 500 seeds, or 1ml every 10 seeds. Let this sit for three days, shake it in the meantime.
- Filter the resulting substance. Discard the seed powder on the filter. Keep the alcoholic liquid for use.
The remaining liquid is what is known as tincture. 30-60ml or 1-2oz is standard for a decent mind-opening trip. Experiment with the dose until you find the level you're most comfortable with.
