I hope I'm posting this in the correct place as I am very green. There are quite a few questions so I will list them all below, if anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated. There were suspicions that something was odd.. even though it looked amazing, had slight earthy smell, and all the correct signs. It tested as cocaine with a home drug test kit, with negative results for all other substances.
- when doing an acetone wash as described by Le Junk, it does not appear that any of the "sample" dissolves into the acetone. If so, it's so little that I cannot notice. The sample settles within 5 seconds of the mixing and that's it. The top layer of liquid is crystal clear after those 5 seconds as well. Could this show something bad about the sample? I heard the quality was high, but this doesn't seem right.
- the next concern, after all procedures are followed for drying. The sample is in hard rocks, with some powder, a flat white, doesn't look that great from experience.. Is this normal? Or should it be glossy white and have visible crystals? After approx four short 150 degree heat sessions, and then approx 36 hrs of air drying, the hard rocks break down to a powder with a little effort of course. Once this is all complete, and test sample is administered. Immediate slight burn that goes away in 5-10 seconds, there's not a whole lot if numbing effect with this sample either. The effects do not seem bad, but the sinus pressure, and what feels like tightening in the sinus and jaw area, isn't so pleasant. Oh and the nasty yellow snot that forms a few hours later, some nice big chunks of half hard mucus.. Ughh
the next thought was to try recrystallization on the already washed sample. This was done also by le junks method.
everything went well up to the appearance after about 24 hrs of being on a Teflon cookie sheet. The dried result was a hard crust, it's hard to explain and I'm sure pictures would help but I do not have access to them myself.
the sample was very hard, and looked speckled. I had heard that round looking "pinwheels" should form. As you can tell by now that I am inexperienced with understanding the results of both of these methods, it just does not seem right. Anyone that has performed either of these methods and could share your thoughts, it would be appreciated. If you think it's good or bad, or maybe something done wrong during the process? I feel the processes were done 100% correct following Le Junks write ups.
I wanted to go ahead and say thanks for your time.
