[] General Information You are on an Ascii Express Line/BBS somewhere within the continental United States (California to be exact, in what is generally considered "the West"). This is a data communications symposium in which communications hobbyists (otherwise known as geeks) congregate and send silly messages to each other, and read further information about it (like this) all of which is completely useless and irrelevant to the scheme of things in general. Now what (1-5)? tem Information This system (The Dark Side of the Moon) is run on an Apple II+ (circa 1982), two 5.25 inch floppies, a 46MB Corvus hard disk system (which was not carded), a Taiwanese power supply to replace the Apple power supply that went fizzle, a generic language card (16k RAM), Grappler+ card, ProWriter II dot matrix printer, Apple Super Serial Card with Hayes 300/1200/2400, Apple Cat with 212, ViewMaster80 80 column card, CP/M card, floppy controller, hard disk control- ler, two busted clock cards, several miscellaneous and sundry cards I will not bore you with, a lovely $7.95 fan, and 4 Pink Floyd albums. Our happy system has been in continuous operation since September 1985 with the minor exception of system crashes due to hardware difficulties or power outtages lasting only a number of hours, tops. If you care to send a donation, inform the SYSTEM 0PERATOR (S Bunker) and he will discuss this further. If you wish to have a copy of the software or AE modifications call 408/732-1079 and do not expect an answer. Thank U. Some people still insist on paging the SYSTEM 0PERATOR (S Bunker or Someone Else) so for best results try this on some evening during the week if you can get through. Otherwise leave a note via M to user #1 and it will be answered [more]  under most circumstances. Thank U again; live long and die. Now what (1-5)? Manufacture of Illegal Substances from Tropical Fruits p1: Bananas Stolen from 408/245-SPAM who stole it from Ghod knows where.. Believe it or not, bananas do not contain a small quanity of MUSA SAPIENTUM BANANADINE, which is a mild, short-lasting psychedelic. There are much easier ways of getting highs, but the great advantage to this method is that bananas are legal. 1. Obtain 15 lbs. of ripe yellow bananas. 2. Peel all 15 lbs. and eat the fruit. Save the peels. 3. With a sharp knife, scrape off the insides of the peels and save the scraped material. 4. Put all scraped material in a large pot and add water. Boil for three to four hours until it has attained a paste consistency. 5. Spread this paste on cookie sheets, and dry in an oven for about 20 minutes to a half hour. This will result in a fine [more]   black powder. Makes about one pound of bananadine powder. Usually one will feel the effects of bananadine after smoking three or four cigarettes.

Extraction of Peyote Peyote is a small brown cactus, which in natural growth barely protrudes above the ground. On the top of this cactus are small spineless buttons, which resemble mushrooms. It is within these parts that the mescal is found, and the buttons are usually the only parts eaten, although people do eat the root and all. When eaten whole, Peyote will taste like vomit and will make you go into spasms that will feel like you are barfing up everything inside you. The following 2 methods will extract the smell and the bad taste. Method 1 -------- 1) Obtain 50 g. of dried ground peyote and put in a 500 ml. Erlenmeyer flask. 2) Add 250 cc. of wood alcohol, cover the flask tightly, and let cactus powder soak it up for one day, with occasional stirring. 3) Pour off the wood-alcohol solution into a 500 ml. beaker, filter properly, and place in a well-ventilated place to evaporate. { Wood- alcohol is very flammable so keep away from fire } [more]   4) Again soak the plant powder in the flask for 2 hours, but in 100 cc. of 1-normal hydrochloric acid. 5) Filter, discard the mush, and combine the filtered HCL solution with the residue from the evaporated wood alcohol solution. Filter again. 6) To the solution add enough 2-Normal potassium hydroxide until the solution is neutral { Turns "PH" paper beige }. 7) Add 100 cc. of chloroform, stir, and let the mixture stand until it separates into 2 layers. 8) Separate the 2 layers, using a separatory funnel and discard the water { top } layer. 10) Add 40 cc. of water to the chloroform, shake, and separate the layers again. Discard top layer. 11) Filter the chloroform, evaporate, and dissolve the gummy residue in 20 cc. of water. Refilter it. Makes about 1 dose. [more]   Method 2 -------- 1) Take fresh peyote buttons, wash, remove skins, and remove all tufts and foreign particles. 2) Take the peyote meat and grind it in a meat grinder or coffee grinder. 3) Allow ground peyote meat to dry, then grind again as before. 4) Boil peyote meat for 5 hours, keeping plenty of water in the pot to prevent burning. 5) Take skin and bark of peyote and break it down by beating on a cutting board. When it is broken down, boil for 5 hours in a separate pot. 6) Strain liquids from both pots and combine. Throw away the peyote mush. 7) Boil this solution until it becomes dark. Do not allow it to become too thick. Label it solution "A". 8) Now cool solution "A". [more]   10) Take the cool solution "A" and fill half a separatory funnel. 11) Add about an equal volume of ethyl ether, and shake for 2 minutes. 12) Now allow the liquids to settle and form layers. Draw off the water solution { bottom layer } by turning the stop cork. Do not draw off the ether solution. 13) Now process all of solution "A" in this manner. Label all drawn-off solution "B". Put the leftover ether solution into a container and throw away. 14) Boil down solution "B" to cut down volume, but do not allow it to become too thick. 15) Add a Phenophtalein indicator to solution "B," until the solution turns red.. 16) Mix in small amounts of a diluted sulfuric acid solution, until the red color disappeard. Do not add any more acid than required. [more]  17) Add one teaspoon of baking powder { to neutralize the acid } for each gallon of solution. Boil again to reduce volume. 18) Place solution "B" in the refrigerator for several hours, but do not freeze it. 20) While it is still cold, pour off as much of the liquid as possible, leaving the crystal in the container. Rinse the crystals with near- freezing water. 21) Add rinse water with water poured off crystals. Boil this solution to reduce volume and then coo9 in refrigerator. Repeat procedure for formation of the crystals. These crystals are nearly pure mescaline sulphate. Allow crystals to dry and then capsule. 22) This usually makes between 30-80mg per button.
