The practice of collecting defensive secretions from toad parotoid glands isn’t a pretty sight. It often involves harassment of the animal that leads to mutilating them and destruction of their habitats.…
…can cannabis equipment be used for mushroom extraction? Psilocybin and cannabis are polar opposites – literally. Cannabinoid molecules are nonpolar, while psilocybin is… because cannabinoids are nonpolar molecules, typically extracted through CO2, hydrocarbon, butane or ethanol, that equipment wouldn’t suffice to extract a polar molecule, like psilocybin. There are some exceptions, however… natural extraction methods…
Polymorphs B, A, and H… supported through Usona as an open access paper… peer-reviewed study… shows three most pharmaceutically relevant crystalline forms of psilocybin have been consistently created and observed since 1959. The ability of a unique crystalline arrangement to solidify in more than one form, called polymorphs, can be optimized using precise combinations of…
…microdosing psychedelics is technically not substance misuse because it does not involve taking drugs in excess or for an unintended purpose.

In the paper, the authors highlight errors they discovered in the patent granted to COMPASS Pathways… COMPASS fell victim to that problem by not distinguishing between different crystalline forms. In other words, COMPASS fell victim to the problem it claimed to solve. The Petition claims that COMPASS Pathways never reported the crystal structure for its…
Instead of holding on tightly to trade secrets… MAPS paper… read as a step-by-step production recipe, the study maps out how MDMA with a purity of 99.4% can be made from non-controlled substances… describes a process of making MDMA according to “current Good Manufacturing Processes” (cGMP), with the end product being 30.000 (167mg) individual doses……
