OK, everyone I just got done with court (speeding ticket) and went to the mail box and found my Kratom was arrived so I'm trying a few different tek in extractions, anybody have any ideas I have a few, but want to hear yours?

Lets see how much chemistry YOU know?

PS not all extractions need chem sum people do just boil it down like crck, others us NaOH or methylene or acetone, I'm trying something I thought of for better yields but less pour (there is 22 different types of alkaloids in Kratom) so you get them all not just the goodies.

No1, where did the explorers go!?

well my first tek was pressure cook it for 15min to break down the compounds then I condensed it and reheated for about and hour and a half then strained the matter out and was left with a tea that I am condensing down even more to get a tar like product.

Oh and I only used about 4.5g so if I end up close to a g then it went good.

I'll put up more tek after I try them and get the best results

well I left my home when I was condensing and it boiled dry so zip nothing nada but made a denatured alcohol batch and it dried to a brown lite gold color and man you take it by itself you feel it a little bit you add a bong hit to it you really feel it ( I didn't even realize why I was so messed up til later then I remembered about the Kratom) more tek on there way I'm hoping to get even better results on the next batch

Ok I did yet another extraction using lemon juice(to raise the Ph above 10) and water and was left with brown crystals that seem to work by smoking in bong hits but going to try and vaporize them only to see if i get effects im looking for.

ive never heard of kratom but if i had to guess i would try a NaoH and Naptha extraction if its for what i think its for

oh i just read what that shit is and sounds very nteresting its not what i thought but it sounds like you could extract the same as what i thought it was

If my memory serves me then kratom's main alkaloids all can basically be extracted using the method as said above, do a NaOH extraction but i would recommend instead of naptha pure ethanol or if you have it chloroform. They are easier/better in for the process.. though note the risks of using chloroform, while it is a good solvent for the freebased alkaloids it is still chloform .. keep safe... hope iv been of help..

you sure chloroform woundn't be to had on it, but yeah this is helpful giving different ideas and ways to go about it. Im f@#$ up on 7-hydroxy right now tea and extract no weed i feel drunk and numb (hmmmmmm numb (in homers voice))

hahah.. sounds good .. about the chloroform, li only suggested it as another possible solvent... it definately does work and woundnt ruin the product but i would recommend to sticking to rubbing alcohol or similar..
