LSA Extraction Critique
Ok I have tried twice now to extract LSA using the cold water tek with little to no results. I was hoping to find a person with some experience who could give me a few tips / tricks on how to get the best possible extraction.
I will try to do a walk through of my attempts so maybe you can see the errors I've been making.
Attempt #1
-
Crushed seeds in a plastic bag and a weight (Probably not the most efficient but both my blender and food processor would not work.)
-
Placed in cold water and left for ~1 hour, shaken 4 times every 15 mins
-
Very little light exposure during this
This was drank and produced little to no effects. After vaping some marijuana it felt as though there was something else there but I wouldn't say anything psychedelic. My friend also said he started to have some nausea.
Attempt #2
-
Same technique used to crush seeds but done much more thoroughly. The seeds were almost completely powdered.
-
Placed in almost freezing cold water for about 4 hours shaking every 10-15 mins
-
Very little light as the crushing was in my basement and they sat underneath my desk while soaking / shaking
This was drank after 4 hours and still I felt nothing. I did get a little nauseous and felt the vasoconstriction occurring in my legs but no desired effects were felt.
So, as of now I am out of ideas on how to succesfully extract LSA from my morning glory seeds (Heavenly Blue). One idea that has been bouncing around in my brain was to add lemon juice. Will this make the difference I'm looking for?
I have also read that the cold water extraction tek is not very good at extracting the LSA and many don't use it.
Any ideas on how to improve the quality of my extractions? I would love to use the rest of the seeds but with out results It seems as though I am throwing them away. Thank you for reading and the help!
