Fizzacyst, thanks. I don't mind critism if it is supported by reason. That's why I asked this question in the first place.
So what exactly is so bad about injecting an oil? There is still much I could learn about injection.
I understand your point about extracts also. Let me clear this thread up then. Instead of injecting extracts, I mean desirable isolated compounds.
The reason I didn't specify this was because say you eat mushrooms, or shoot heroin, or snort coke. There is a pretty guarenteed chance that the desired chemical is not all thats goin in your body. So I think it's safe to assume that shooting things like corn meal or baking powder that's been diluted in water isn't harmful for the body (dont get me wrong, its still a bad idea, but I'm sure many have done this unknowingly). And since mushrooms seems to be the topic most discussed here, and since that will probably be what, if i decided to go with this idea, what I'd inject, I would like to point out they are safe to eat. Maybe they have bad bacteria or impurities in it, but when IV'd your dealing with alot less psilocybin for a desired effect, and dealing with much less bacteria and impurities. Using a hot water extraction, much of the bacteria would die. Not all, but enough for it to be fairly safe to inject.
So chemicals have to be ???-soluble for injection? This must mean that heroin, coke, crack, MDMA, meth, codeine, and 5-meo-dipt are all ???-soluble? Can you clear up what kind of solubility here?
Boiling mushrooms does not destroy psilocybin outright. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe high temperatures speed up the deterioration rate of psilosin. The higher, the quicker the deterioration. I think the psilocybin either turns into psilosin, or is fine. Maybe it's destroyed.
Anyways, if you boil water and put the mushrooms in once the heat is off, and intend to drink it within the next 20 minutes your mushrooms won't lose any noticeable potency.
I was considering however, to make a mushroom tea as described, using very little water and perhaps just one stem. Strain shroom a few times, and use a cotton filter while loading the syringe. Inject IV and see if any effects. If not, then probably wouldn't be worth the trouble of boiling many mushrooms to inject just once. In end, what would be seen as a "mushroom saving" technique would be a "mushroom losing" technique. If the experiment has no use then I could just eat the shroom, drink the tea, and eat a few more.
That rectal tip is interesting however very uncomfortable sounding.
