Notice how I say evaporate a couple of times.
A while ago, because of the issues with NBOMe compound dosing (they are very potent) I became a little infatuated with the idea of applying the drug to a carrier. This actually is not much more than cutting your drug on purpose when a dose is impractically tiny in size and your scale is not accurate enough to weigh single doses. So to go over it again:
You take your drug and dissolve it in something. I mention alcohols because they are relatively non-toxic, easy to get, and they evaporate better than water. Water sticks to everything which sucks. Only the amount of drug has to be known if you are going to evaporate the solvent later anyway... but I'd say it should be enough solvent to just make your carrier thoroughly wet but not much more than that.
If you dissolve it, stir well. Just verify that your drug does indeed dissolve well in the solvent and that it is not accidentally the freebase or something. Solutions become homogeneous (entirely mixed or dissolved in a uniform way) by themselves but stirring helps this along.
Then you take a carrier or cut, an inert compound meaning it just does as little as possible. The properties needed depend on a few things:
- it should not react with the drug, but especially with phenethylamines it would be an achievement if you found something that does. But just to be sure, I'd avoid something like citric acid - acids and bases are far from ideal - you want neutral. Types of sugar are good.
- it should not be opposed to the drug in too many physical/chemical properties. If there is some repulsion (as if magnetically pushed away) between your carrier and drug, you are asking for hot pockets: concentrated clumps of drug that make you overdose.
- it should not react with the environment. Like hygroscopic compounds, or ones that oxidize and turn into nasty weird shit.
- the route of administration you intend to use. If you are going to create a snortable powder then obviously do not choose something that burns! On the other hand for oral administration there often is less of a problem - but still. It needs to be harmless to put in your body. Always pick something water soluble, but for snortable powders this is significantly more important. Fat soluble powders may result in extended release capsules but probably not a lot unless you arrange this on purpose in some way.
So take this powder, measure the amount so that the relative weight makes sense. For example: if you take 10 mg of a potent drug you can use 990 mg of carrier to make a total of 1000 mg or a whole gram. In the end you will have a 1% mix. Take it and put it in a shallow bowl or something. I think a watch glass is ideal, but you don't usually find those outside of the lab.
Cover the powder with the solution that contains the drug. Adding more solvent after that to cover all the powder is not recommended.
Then, importantly, let the solution evaporate away. Given enough time it will happen without aid, but it helps a lot to let a fan blow air over it ever so slightly. But never hard enough to blow the powder up and away into the air! If there is some air movement it's enough.
During the process of evaporation try to mix it as often as you can. And when finished also mix mix mix.
The resulting powder mix can then be weighed practically because you multiplied the weight. And the powder will be practical to snort because And of course powders can be stored in capsules, no... liquids cannot.
IMPORTANT
There has been question about the possibility of this method creating hot pockets, so parts of the powder that are more potent than other parts. This could be dangerous and at the very least result in an unpredictable product. It has been argued that the whole solution story is unnecessary and inferior to just using a serious grinder. I'd say a blender won't do, not at all. It's hard to say exactly how you can be sure of enough homogenization, of enough mixing. Try to find the thread where this is discussed. The brazil nut effect is also mentioned there which is pretty much about hot pockets. Use the search engine of BL or use google.
If you feel like a noob, you may want to reconsider and stick to only liquid solutions to ensure homogenization.
Like I mentioned in that thread, a way to limit the danger is to never prepare too many doses at once. The more doses you process in this way in one single go, the more variation you can have in concentrations if you are not thorough enough or are not careful. It's better to have to do it a little more often (every now and then, or parallel batches at the same time), than to risk your health or life.
Personally I don't see how preparing 10 doses with this method can be dangerous. It just seems impossible by physics/statistics that you would accidentally end up with serious hot pockets, unless maybe you pick the wrong carrier and/or not mix it during the process. I feel uncomfortable betting lives on all of this, if you have doubts maybe just don't do it. If you insist, do so at your own risk. Educate yourself. Don't skip steps. Start with as small quantities of the drug as possible to check if your method works as expected. Maybe only 2 or 3 doses, and see if the resulting experience makes sense. Unfortunately you are likely to have problems with the accuracy of your scale if you try to do this by weighing only 2 or 3 doses... so use volumetric measurement to get a known liquid concentration and take a part of it to enhance your accuracy.
