Aye, distillation limit. I think I read somewhere that in order to get purer ethanol than the distillation limit allows the process involved can potentially leave traces of something toxic. Which is why people tend not to drink lab ethanol.
I could be wrong though.
A litre of 96% ethanol is just under forty quid here, Inc delivery.
How'd the picks go? Is that an actual thing people do or did you just come up with it?
Curious about this too - why toothpicks?I often find that I'll stop using meth once it becomes useless, because the exhaustion it induces after cessation is such a pain in my ass, I'd honestly prefer NDRIs like 4F-MPH/MPH every day, I just have little-to-no access to them. I love the discourse on this thread, genuinely prosocial harm reduction shit going on here.
Unrelated to things currently brought up in this thread, but has anybody here successfully infused trucker toothpicks before? I've been having a hell of a time getting it to absorb an adequate dose into a single pick, is there some trick to getting the wood to absorb a supremely small amount of ethanol? I can fit so much ice into a single tab of blotter it's a fucking threat to someone's wellbeing, whereas a toothpick? I'm absolutely stumped.
Also I have used ethanol as a solvent a number of times for quick and dirty mescaline extractions. Iso certainly works well and people seem to have no issues using it and then evaporating off until dry, but the idea of using iso never appealed to me and it felt safer/preferable to use ethanol. If I want to leave in a tincture vs. in a gummy resin, I can do that. I've used ethanol for kratom extractions as well, and as a disinfecting agent when making solutions such as nasal spray. I never knew for sure just how much alcohol was needed to ensure that a sealed spray bottle was truly resistant to microbial growth.
Anyways - tangent - just stumbled upon your discussion and got curious.
