Hymns from the Rigveda:
(to the dead)
"Go forth, go forth on those ancient paths on which our ancient fathers passed beyond.
There you shall see the two kings. Yama and Varuna, rejoicing in the sacrificial drink."
"Clarifying Soma, when you are sated with waters your juice runs through the sieve made
of wool."
"Have I not drunk Soma?"
"Long-hair holds fire, holds the drug, holds the sky and Earth. Long-hair reveals
everything, so that everyone can see the Sun. Long-hair declares the light."
"Flying down from the sky, the plants spoke: 'That man shall not be harmed whose life
we join'."
"You plants whose king is Soma, spread out over the Earth as you were sent by
Brhaspati: Unite your powers in this plant."
"Plant you are supreme; the Trees they are your subjects."
Intro
Examples of Ritual Chemistry in Tribal Religious Settings:
Ayahuasca preparation from DMT and MAOI combinations. This Religion now exists in
America in the form of Santo Daime. The People in the Amazon say that the plants
taught them how to make the combination and Western Science was not even aware of
MAOIs, and was even convinced that DMT was inactive, until extensive research was
done on the plants that are added to Ayahuasca brews. Which revealed a series of
Tryptamines and Carbolines, some of which had never been seen before and most of
which were completely not understood, and again, the people in the Amazon say that the
plants taught them how to do this out of the thousands if not millions of species of
available plants in any given region.
Amanita Muscaria or Fly Agaric Mushrooms, which contain Muscimol and Ibotenic
Acid. Ibotenic Acid can cause side effects, so, the Chukchi People who use the
Mushroom Sacrementally wait for Reindeer to eat the Mushrooms and they go through
their system, where the Ibotenic Acid is decarboxylized into Muscimol. At this point the
Urine is collected and consumed as part of a Religious Ceremony.
Yopo preparation from Plant seeds or Toad venom containing 5-HO-DMT, which can
make your blood vessels hurt, and Edible Lime (Calcium Hydroxide). This alters the
molecule slightly allowing for it to be used as a Religious Sacrament, in a smoked or
snuff form.
The South American Kambo Frog (Waxy Leaf Frog or Waxy Monkey Frog) venom,
which contains Opiods and is gathered by capturing a frog and tying it up, then running a
wedge along its skin to collect a thin slime. A small burn is then applied to the skin and
the Frog venom is applied to the burn, this works somewhat like an injection of Religious
Sacrament and the scars are seen as a Rite of Passage.
Ubulawu, which is a mixture of plants used Sacramentally in the Yoruba faith. It is part
of a Religious Ritual to promote dreams and clarity.
Hottentot Tea, which is a mixture of plants used Sacramentally in the Hottentot Tribe.
And as you will find in this book, many plants are doing Ritual Chemistry.
Examples of Ritual Chemistry in Non-Tribal Religious Settings:

Christian Fermentation of Wine and Spirits. At one point Monks even used the name
"God-is-Good" for Yeast. Most other Ritual Fermentation involves plants that ferment
themselves, such as Grapes into Wine or Palm Tree Sap into Palm Wine, but Christianity
was one of the first Religions that involved keeping Yeast Cultures in the Monasteries.
There are still a few Sects of Christian Monks who have passed down different traditions
of making Spirits. Another example of Christian Ritual Chemistry would be the "Tyrian
Purple" from the Bible which is the famous color of Royalty. It is gathered from glands
of the creature that lives in a Conch Shell and can be turned into a deep Blue or Crimson
depending on how it is treated. This was not started by Christians but Phoenicians and
became important to Christian Religion through Greek trade. The Creation of clear Glass
is another example of a Chemical process that was spread by the Phoenicians and today
stained glass windows are an Iconic part of the Christian Church.
Eastern and European Alchemy. The word Al-Chemy is an Arabic word similar to
Algebra or Alcohol, these words were all invented by Arabic Scientists in the Ancient
world known as Alchemists. Muslim Mosques were somewhat of a center of Language
Translation and Esoteric trade (Such as purified Elements or Books), especially around
the time of the Ottoman Empire. Alchemy is also the reason that the Periodic Table of
Elements contains things like "Germanium" and "Indium", and why Lead is marked "Pb"
and Tungsten is marked "W". The Periodic Table of Elements did not always exist, and it
has been Religious Diligence and International Cooperation that has gotten us as far as
Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, etc.
Hindu Ayurveda & Chinese Medicine, both of which involve various combinations of
Oils and Extracts, as well as the extraction processes themselves. Many modern Lotions
and similar products were originally Religious Products, for example, both of these
traditions are Eastern, but even in the Western tradition of Christianity Jesus is called
"Christ" which literally means "The Anointed One" anointed being someone who has had
the correct Holy oils placed on them in the correct Ritual manner. Other examples within
Hinduism includes the creation of Hindu idols, which is a Ritual form of Allergy (Alloy
making). Different metals are combined in different ways that are considered to be
Sacred, for example Parad (the Metal form of Mercury) is Holy to the God Shiva, so is
sometimes used when making statues of him. Sometimes the mixtures are meant to create
metals that will change colors, an example of this in America is the Statue of Liberty. The
Creation of Pigments using different plants and applying Edible Lime (Calcium
Hydroxide) or other Reactants with them in order to form bright and solid colors that are
used in Dyes and Religious Ceremonies. And yet another example within Hinduism is the
creation of Charas (Hashish) from Marijuana and the creation of Bhang (THC Milk).
Perfume making in Ancient Egypt and Ancient Anatolia were Religious Processes and in
Turkey Perfumes are still made from the same species of Rose. In Ancient Egypt
substances like Naphtha (Petroleum Ether) were used in the creation of Religious art, and
Cinnamaldehyde in the Embalming Process. Another example in Ancient Egypt would be
addition of White Lotus to Wine, which causes the Aporphine in White Lotus to be
extracted into the Wine.
Incense and the Creation of it has been important to pretty much every Religion ever. An
example in Eastern Religion would be Sandalwood which is Holy to the God Shiva, a
Western example would be Frankincense which is Holy to the God Jesus and a Native
American example would be the White Sage smudge stick which is used in purification
rituals before various Ceremonies.
Ancient Greek Medicine was a form of Medicine which involved inducing sleep by using
Poppies (Morphine) and inducing dreams in the Patient, then either encouraging them to
have a Spiritual Journey within the dream or preform a needed surgery while they were
asleep. This form of Medicine became modern medicine by way of Hippocrates who
created the Hippocratic Oath which Doctors still say today.
Examples of Plants being used in Religious Ceremonies:

Hindu and Rastafarian use of Marijuana
South American use of Ayahuasca and Yopo snuffs
Native American use of Peyote, Tobacco and Datura
Oaxacan Magic Mushroom Tea
Peruvian Cactus Tea
Chukchi use of Amanita Muscaria
Mazatec use of Salvia
The Ancient Egyptian Tree of Life
Hindu Soma
Coffee in Ancient Ethiopia
Examples of Plants (and Animals) being used in Social Cultural settings:

Nigerian Uziza Leaves, which contain Caryophyllene and are used in a Tradition tea that
helps promote your appetite.
Sea Urchin Roe is eaten commonly as Sushi and it contains a Cannabinoid that can also
be found in your brain (An Endocannabinoid)
Fugu is a delicacy in Japan. Fugu is just the puffer fish, but a puffer fish liver contains a
Neurotoxin that is something like 10,000,000x the strength of Cocaine and causes the
body to slow down to the point of death. In some cases the person will register as
Medically dead for up to 3 days before body function returns to normal, but in most cases
it is a permanent death. The person who eats the Fugu is taking the risk of both eating
Fugu and trusting the Chef to prepare it correctly.
Coffee was used Culturally in Yemen once it spread out of Ethiopia and from there
Coffee use spread to Amsterdam, and now it has spread around the World.
Tea was culturally used in Eastern countries and was spread around the World by Britain.
Alcohol has been fermented from some Sugar source in pretty much every culture ever.
Chapter 1:
The Basics of Plants, Smells and Sacraments:
Aromatic Rings
This is a Benzene ring, if you have ever smelled any smell from a flower or pretty much
any other natural odor, you have some experience with Benzene rings. Benzene is not the
only Aromatic compound but it is the main one.
Damascone is an example of a Benzene ring that is well known in the Perfume world.
Damascone is the most defining smell of the Rose Bud and is a Benzene structure.
Another similar example is Ionone which is responsible for the smell of Violets.
Benzene can also be attached to other rings, for example this aromatic ring is known as
Pyrole.
And an Indole is a Benzene ring attached to a Pyrole.
Indoles make up many of the smell that everyone is familiar with, for example the
Molecule Indole itself can be found in various plants and flowers as part of what makes
their odor and Skatole is the Indole that is responsible for the smell of poop.
Here is a short list of common Benzene rings that can be found in common plants:
Peppermint: Menthol
Cinnamon: Cinnamaldehyde
Vanilla: Vanillin
Lemon Peel: Lemonene
Phalaris Grass: Tryptamines
Acacia/Wattle Tree: Tryptamines
Syrian Rue: Carbolines
Many of these plant compounds fall into the Category of Terpenes or Terpenoids. Many,
but not all, Terpenes and Terpenoids, contain Benzene rings. An example of a Terpene
that has no Benzene ring would be Myrcene. Mycene can be found in various plants,
including Hops (used to flavor beer) and Marijuana. Terpenes and other compounds can
be retrieved from plants through Fractal distillation. This means that a solution is made
of the plant materials, then the solution is set to boil, but you do not reach the boiling
point of all the materials in the solution. This way you can meet only the melting point of
the other materials and collect an isolated molecule through distillation. Pure compounds
can also be retrieved through Polar/Non-Polar mixtures which will separate the Polar/
Non-Polar Molecules, but this is not always as effective at isolating a molecule, as
multiple molecules in one plant are likely to have the same Polarity. Polar substances
dissolve into Polar substances while Non-Polar substances dissolve into Non-Polar
substances. An example of this would be THC. THC is not water soluble meaning it will
not dissolve in water, which makes it one of the few plants which is not readily made into
a Tea form. But in the Hindu Religious Tradition, Marijuana drinks are made using Milk,
because THC and Milk have the same Polarity and, THC and water do not have the same
Polarity, making the THC readily dissolved in Milk, but not in water. If you have a
solution containing a Polar and Non-Polar substance, they will eventually separate if they
are Polar or Non-Polar enough, an example of this would be Water and Oil not mixing.
These kinds of settled solutions with the Polar and Non-Polar substances on top of each
other can be separated using what is called a Separatory Funnel, this device allows for the
top layer to be left alone while the bottom layer is filtered off. A less effective way to
achieve the same separation would be to use something like a Turkey baster to scoop the
top layer away from the bottom layer.
Cannabinoids and Tryptamines are both examples of Plant Indoles. All Cannabinoids and
Tryptamines contain an Indole skeleton but Tryptamines and Cannabinoids are
considered distinct families of Molecule. Delta-9-THC and N,N-DMT are examples of a
Cannabinoid and a Tryptamine.
Phenethylamines and Tryptamines are both examples of different kinds of Benzene rings,
one family contains an Indole ring (The Tryptamines) while the other contains just a
Benzene ring, they are both considered Aromatic Compounds though. An example of a
Tryptamine in your body is Melatonin and an example of a Phenethylamine in your body
is Adrenaline. Your "5-HTP receptors" (Serotonin Receptors) are your 5HydroxyTryptoPhan receptors. Gramine & Indole-3-Ethanol (Tryptophol) is converted
to DMT in some plant species and can be used to make Tryptophan or Tryptamine. The
primary metabolite of Tryptamine and DMT in nature is the corresponding Indolic Acid
which is a plant growth hormone. Tryptophol is also a plant growth stimulant and can be
found in Cucumber seedlings as well as various DMT containing plants. Tryptamines are
derived from Tryptophan and Tryptamine while Phenethylamines are derived from
Phenethylamine and Phenelalanine. Tryptamine is most often found in nature in its
Carboxylic acid form which is Tryptophan (Found in Milk and according to Urban
Legend the Tryptophan content of Turkey is what makes you tired on Thanksgiving,
Turkey does contain Tryptophan, but not enough to cause noticeable effects).
Phenethylamine is most commonly found in nature in its Alcohol forms, which are
Phenols. These make up many of the flower smells we know, and apart from Damascone
the Phenols are some of the most important factors in what makes up the smell of a Rose.
Synephrine is closely related to Adrenaline and contains a Phenethylamine skeleton,
Synephrine is in the human body, but in the body of an insect it works similarly to
Adrenaline in a human body. Melatonin, a Tryptamine, is released when you close your
eyes, so sleep and meditation are both regulated by it in the brain. Melatonin is also a
common pigment in Amphibians and reacts to light similarly to the human pigment
Malanin. Maltonin is used so that they body can know what time of day it is, and it has
been sold as a supplement for sleep and to help fight jet lag. Melatonin is thought to be
bioavailable in only small amounts, but studies with Melatonin have shown that regular
usage (10mg or less) usually has no noticeable effect, while Chronic dosage (Daily doses
of 70-80mg) can bring better sleep and more functional states while awake. Tryptophan
has also been studied and is a much more direct sleep causing molecule (with hardly
anyone being able to resist sleeping with proper doses of Tryptophan) and can also
promote more functional states while awake. This is the reason for the Urban Legend that
Turkey makes you sleepy on Thanksgiving.
Harmine is an example of a Carboline. Carbolines are related to all the other families of
Molecule in that they all contain Benzene rings making them Aromatic compounds, but a
Carboline molecule contains two Benzene rings and a Pyrole ring.
Esters & Peptides

Not all smells contain Benzene rings or Pyrole rings, there are also Furan rings and
Thiophene rings, but those are much more uncommon in nature and only a few Furans
are used in Sacraments. But Aromatic ring structures are not the only way to create smell,
in fact some Aromatic ring structures do not have a smell until they are turned into their
Ester form. Esterificiation is a process that is used in making Artificial Smells and
Flavors (Most E-Cigarette Oils are Esters) as well as used in Medicine to create water
soluble medicines. THC is again the perfect example for this as it is not soluble in water.
When THC is made into its THC-O-Acetate form or its THC-O-Phosphate form, it
becomes water soluble and can be used for injections in the ER/ICU for people having
strokes or in a coma. Esters are easy to form. Any Alcohol in the presence of any
Carboxylic acid will form an Ester, sometimes a stronger acid is needed to kick start the
process, but an Ester is simply the bonding of a Carboxylic acid and an Alcohol. Another
good example of this is Choline, in the body Choline is turned into Acetylcholine which
is simply the Acetate form of Choline. In the brain Choline is used up by the
Cholinesterase enzymes, Piracetam is an example of a compound that people take in
order to boost the bodies use of Choline and Acetylcholine, but because Acetylcholine is
used to regulate dreaming in the brain this can cause a trade off where during the day the
Acetylcholine is being used and the brain feels more functional for different work and
operations but, since the Acetylcholine is used up during the day it is unlikely that dreams
will occur that night (This is the same receptor Nicotine uses, which is why Native
Americans have traditionally used the more potent Tobacco Nicotiana Rustica in order to
achieve Ceremonial dream states). Acetylcholine supplements taken at night can
similarly promote dreaming, Choline can also promote dreaming but it is less
Bioavailable, meaning that if you were to take 100 mg of Choline and 100 mg of
Acetylcholine, the Acetylcholine would reach your brain in a quantity much closer to 100
mg that Choline which may only actually get 25 mg or less of the material to your brain
after it is destroyed by stomach acids and enzymes. Bioavailability is also the reason
some supplements are taken Sublingually (Through the Gums and under the Tongue).
This is similar to the DMT/MAOI scenario where DMT is 0% bioavailable unless
MAOIs are first taken to prevent stomach enzymes from destroying it.
A simple bond that creates smell which is similar to Esterification is the creation of
Peptides. Esters are formed when a Carboxylic Acid meets and Alcohol, Peptides are
formed when a Carboxylic Acid (Specifically Amino Acids) combines with another
Caboxylic Acid (Specifically an Amino Acid). This makes up many of the Meat smells,
Fish smells and other smells like that in nature. DNA also fits into this definition, but it is
a Polypeptide, meaning it is a complex combination of Amino acids formed with various
Peptide bonds rather than just one (DNA just means Desoxy Ribonucleic Acid, which
means Ribonucleic Acid missing an Oxygen, Desoxy = Oxygen removed, RNA =

Ribonucleic Acid). Peptides are very simple in that they are formed when two Amino
Acids come together and lose a Hydrogen Atom and two Oxygen atoms (Water). An
example of a Peptide bond is Picamillon, which is formed using the Amino Aids GABA
and Niacin. Used alone GABA works to relax a person, while Niacin used alone works to
promote blood flow. When they come together they form Picamillon, which makes both
the GABA and the Niacin more bioavailable as well as helps the GABA better cross the
Blood Brain Barrier. This makes the GABA more effective in the brain in helping to
relax a person while the Niacin specifically goes to promote the blood flow of the brain
instead of the body as it usually does, which can help relieve headaches. Some examples
of natural Peptides in the human body are Endorphines (aka Endogenous Morphines) and
Endocannabinoids (which work with the human Endocannabinoid system), as well as
Neuropeptides which have been called "Chemical Emotions". There are also Opiod
peptides, which are similar to Endorphines and they exist in many common foods such as
Milk or Spinach, but they do not cross the Blood Brain Barrier.
Chlorine in Plants
The main part of a plant that everyone learns about at some point in their lives is the
Chlorophyll. Everyone learns that plants are Green because they contain Chlorophyll and
the Chlorophyll is what reacts with Sunlight (Photosynthesis) to start the Chemical
processes of the plant. But what does this really mean?
Chlorophyll contains Chlorine and when Chloride (Cl2) has light shown through it, the 2
Chlorine atoms actually spread apart, which in the presence of certain elements causes
reactions that create different Molecules. Plants have harnessed this Chemical process in
the form of Chlorophyll in order to create the materials that are necessary for animal life
to exist. Without this process animals would continue to breathe in Oxygen (O2) and
breathe out Carbom Dioxide (CO2) until all the Oxygen was depleted, but plants use
Photosyntheses and Water (H2O) to convert Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen allowing the
planet to continue breathing. Strangely, Chlorine can also be found as one of the primary
ingredients of the Ocean which contains tons of Table Salt/Sea Salt (Sodium Chloride)
and, Salt is an Electrolyte meaning that it conducts electricity in water and is important in
facilitating various natural processes similar to Chlorophyll. Salts are formed by the
mixture of Acids and Bases. The structure of an Acid or Base usually contains lots of
Hydrogen (H) and Hydroxide (OH) and depending how many of each of those is present
or what charge they have, the substance is either a Base or an Acid. A very common salt
formed when making extractions of plants is HCl Acid or Hydrochloric Acid which is the
same acid which is present in your stomach to activate stomach enzymes, this acid forms
HCl Salt or Hydrochloric Salt when mixed with any basic substance (such as NaOH aka
Sodium Hydroxide, or Baking Soda aka Sodium Bicarbonate). When chemical reactions
are done using water (H2O) should not be done with tap water, as tap water contains
Chlorine which can effect the outcome of any reaction as well as storage. Pure water can
be made through Distillation.
Iodine in Nature
Iodine is more rare in nature but it is necessary for a properly functioning Thyroid Gland.
This is why many Commercially available table salts contain Iodine and say "Iodized
Salt". So most salt contains Chlorine and Iodine, just not in the same Molecule. Iodine
can be used similarly to Chlorine as a disinfectant and is sold at camping goods stores as
a disinfectant for drinking water found in the wild. Related closely to Iodine and Chlorine
via the Periodic Table of Elements (They are all Halogens) is Bromine.
Nature's Chemistry
Hydrogen, Oxygen (and Sulfur which is right below it on the Periodic table), Nitrogen &
Carbon make up most of Ritual Chemistry as well as most of Nature's Chemistry, it is
just adding them together in different ways and adding other atoms or molecules that
make them do different things that makes up the rest of it. Rust is a common example of
Oxidation (Fe2O) and a similar process happens to Copper which is the reason for the
Blue color of the Statue of Liberty. An example of Hydrogen being able to change the
entire chemistry of something would be THC and CBD. CBD is Cannabidiol while THC
is TetraHydraCannabidiol, meaning that if you apply a strong acid to CBD it will turn
into THC.
Mushrooms
Chapter 2 will get in to Sasha Shulgin's work but I wanted to mention something that was
part of his research here. Sasha mentioned an experiment that had been done sometime
between the 1960s and 1980s where a species of Psilocybin Mushrooms were inoculated
to their Mycelium stage at which point they were fed DMT, the Sacramental compound
Psilocin is 4-HO-DMT, which means DMT with a Hydroxy in the 4 Position (we will get
more into the specifics of what this means in Chapter 2), and when the Mycelium of the
Mushroom was fed DMT, it turned the DMT into 4-HO-DMT. So in the same lab a
second experiment was tried. They took a compound that is related to DMT, which was
DET, and fed it to the Mycelium and out came 4-HO-DET. DET is a completely
synthetic compound that can not be found anywhere in nature, but the Mushrooms
accepted the DET. So is 4-HO-DET a Natural compound or a Synthetic one? In Sasha's
words "If you put a Mickey Mouse in you would probably get a 4-HO-Mickey Mouse
out".
Following is a list of Mushroom Genus which contain Species who make either 4-HODMT or some other 4-HO compound, as well as things like 5-HTP and Serotonin:
Psilocybe
(Psilocybe are also known as "Magic Mushrooms", Psilocybe Cubensis being most common)
Stropharia
Copelandia
Panaeolina
Panaeolous
Psathyrella
Gymnopilus
Inocybe
Pluteus
Agrocybe
Conocybe
The Amanita family or Amanitaceae are known to contain Muscimol, Ibotenic Acid and
5-HO-DMT and related compounds. Muscimol can pass through around 7 animals or 7
people's digestive systems, and be urinated out each time, before all of the Muscimol has
been used. This is the basis of the Decarboxylation process done in the Reindeer's
stomaches before the Chukchi people collect its urine for religious use.
The Ergot family or Hypocreaceae contain Ergot alkaloids which are used in the creation
of things like LSD and Medication for Parkinson's Disease. These can be found as fungus
on Cereal grains, as well as in the seeds of Morning Glory plants and Hawaiian Baby
Woodrose plants in the form of LSA, which is a close relative of LSD.
Corn contains N-Substituted Tryptamine Amides, but Corn is not digested by humans.
Common Rice contains Melatonin.
Limonia Acidissma contains DMT and a Carboline.
Vepris Ampody contains DMT
The Genus Evodia has many species which contain Phenethylamines and Carbolines.
Evodia Rutacarpa contains DMT
Dutaillyea Oreophila contains 5-MeO-DMT
Phalaris Grass cntains DMT & 5-MeO-DMT
Giant Reed (Sugar Cane) Contains DMT, 5-MeO-DMT and 5-HO-DMT
Iboga species and other species that contain Ibogain (Such as Confederate Jasmine) are
full of strange Opiod Tryptamines.
Cacti
Another short note from Sasha's work was research on Cacti. Sasha mentions in his work
that when some labs discovered certain compounds within Cacti they fed the Cacti
Molecules that had radioactive markers so that the Cacti could be studied, and the end
product could be tested to see what the Cacti were doing. And in Sasha's work he only
mentions when a Cactus did not do what the lab expected, so it can be assumed that all
the other Cacti which have been tested do what you would expect them to do (similar to
how the Mushrooms made 4-HO-DET from DET). Over the past 50 or so years it has
become common practice to test how different life forms react to different environmental
factors, for example when some Marine Algae and other marine life were first being
tested for isolates compounds, they would test them by giving them Phenelalanine as
their only Nitrogen source, then see what they did with it.
Regular Cacti can be made to grow faster by being Grafted to a Pereskiopsis Cacti. These
are more like regular plants, and when a Cactus is grafted to one it will work like a
regular plant instead of absorbing water slowly like a cactus, and it will boost the cactus
into a faster growth process. Grafting is when the top of a plant is removed, then it is
added to the top of another plant as if being planted onto that plant. If connected properly
(open "stem cells" exposed, and being pressed together with slight pressure) they should
graft together and become one plant. The bottom plant will retain its chemical properties
and the top plant will retain its chemical properties.
Following is a short list of Cacti known to contain the compound Phenethylamine:
Islaya Minor
Pereskia Pititache
Pereskia Tampicana
Pereskiopsis Chapistle
Following is a short list of Cacti which contain Dopamine, which is also called 3,4Dihydroxy-PEA (PEA being Phenethylamine). In principle they should be able to create
other 3,4-DHO-x compounds when fed other molecules:

Lophophora Wolliamsii
Following is a short list of Cacti known to contain N-Methyl-PEA. In Principle they will
create N-Methyl compounds being fed other Molecules:

Following is a short list of Cacti which contain 4-Methoxy-PEA. In principle they will
create 4-Mx compounds which fed other molecules:
Coryphantha Cornifera

Currently there are some Religious and non-Religious groups breeding Cacti (Mainly
Trichocereus Species) together in order to create new Variations/Breeds/Strains of
Cactus. An example would be Trichocereus Bridgesii X Trichocereus Peruvians. There
are also Cacti being what is called Super Stressed, meaning they are not being given
enough water and are being damaged with slices or gouging. This by way of Epigenetics
passes down small alterations in the DNA structure which pass down Genes that are not
encoded in the DNA but attached to it. These are usually marked with an SS, for example
SS San Pedro X SS Peruvian Torch.
Following is a short list of Cacti which contain N-MethylMescaline. In principle they will
create N-Methyl-3,4,5-TMx compounds when fed other Molecules:
Pelecyphora Aselliformis
Lophophora Diffusa
Growing Cacti is not hard, they do not take much water and can easily be grown from
seed. They usually just need soil mixed with sand to be completely satisfied.
Growing Mushrooms is a little harder, here is a short guide:
Growing Mushrooms:
1.
First you fill Mason jars of any size with ground up Oatstraw and Brown Rice flour
This is topped with a layer of Vermiculite and sealed. These jars are then boiled in a
pressure cooker for a few hours. The temperature reached should kill any bacteria.
2.
Once the Jars are cooled a hole can be made i the top of each lif with a knife or
screwdriver that has been sterilized with fire or alcohol.
3.
At this time the jars can be inoculated, this is done by using a syringe to put
Mushroom spores under the layer of Vermiculite, and between the glass of the jar
and the Oatstraw Brown Rice flour mix.
4.
After a week or a few weeks a white fuzz should grow in the jars, this is known as
Mycelium. Once it has pretty well taken over the jars you are ready for the next step.
5.
At this time you create the larger "Terrarium" for your mushrooms. The way to do
this is to get some kind of container that is 1 Gallon or larger, any size larger than 1
Gallon will work. On the bottom of the container put a layer of Vermiculite, on top
of that you put a layer of Coco Coir. Then on top of this you add the Nutrient layer,
which is Oatstraw and Brown Rice Flower, this layer is also where you would add
any Religious offering to the Mushroom, such as the DET to 4-HO-DET example
from before and the offering is covered in Brown Rice flour.
6.
At this point you open the jars of white fuzz and remove the "Rice Cakes" from the
jars like you would Ketchup in a glass bottle, then after putting on a pair of sterile
gloves the cakes are gently broken apart while taking care to touch the fewest spots
on the cake as possible. Any spots that are touched are likely to die off. The peices
are put into the new Brown Rice flour and Oatstraw in the large container, covered
in a layer of Oatstraw, which is then covered in a layer of Coco Coir. This is then
sprayed daily with a water spray bottle and the lid to the container is put on when it
is not being sprayed.
This method should allow for large yields of Mushrooms and after harvest the block can
simply be flipped out and water added, and with the abundant nutrients another harvest
can be gotten.
Creating Mushroom spore prints:
Making a Mushroom spore print is how Mushroom spores are gathered from a harvest in
order to create new Rice Cakes.
1.
First get a piece of Tin Foil and heat it up to around 400 Degrees Fahrenheit to kill
any bacteria, then allow it to cool back to room Temperature
2.
Then, with a Sterilized knife or Scalpel a Cap is removed from one of the tops of the
Mushrooms,and cut flat from the Stalk so that it can be laid flat on a the Tin Foil.
3.
Once the Cap has been placed on the Tin Foil the top of the cap can be tapped to
help spores drop to the foil, and once the Cap has been sitting there for around or
more than an Hour it should have some spores dropped.
4.
These spores can be scrapped (using a sterile knife or scalpel) into a sterile shot glass
or similar container. Bottled Water can then be gathered by a Syringe and sprayed
into the shot glass on top of the spores. The syringe is then used by filling and
squirting out the spore/water mixture in order to create a mixture in the water that
contains most or all of the spores. This syringe can then be kept in a refrigerator or
used immediately.
How to Grow Plants with the most and Strongest Branches:
Most plants are a little bit harder than Cacti but much easier than Mushrooms as far
as growing goes. So here is a quick guide for how to grow the bushiest plants that
can hold large flowers or fruits.

Both indoor and outdoor growers of plants, Religious or not, need to pay attention to
seasons. If you are growing indoors CFL & LED lights should be used during the
Vegetative stage and HPS & LED lights should be used during the Flowering stage.
These lights will have the correct spectrums of light to give plants the same form of
light they would be getting from the sun during different seasons.
Use Coco Coir mixed in with indoor plant soil as it will allow the same amount of
space to grow a larger plant.
Topping or "Pinching Back" is a technique to create new branches. What you do is
wait until a plant has a few small new branches growing, or if a plant is already fully
grown you can just move on to the next part, which is. Chop the top off of the plant
and the highest 2 lower branches will grow to form 2 new main stalks of the plant.
These can in turn be chopped off at the top to grow 4 more tops and those 4 can be
chopped to create 8, etc.
Plants can also be Grafted. When grafting a plant you chop the top off of one plant
and tie or duct tape or using a gum, plant it on to the top of another plant. The top
plant will use the root system of the larger plant and will grow faster. The bottom
plant will retain its properties and the top plant will retain its properties. This is a
method that has been used to grow various species of fruit on one tree. Grafting can
also be used in reverse, where a plant's top is chopped off and its roots are grafted to
another plant. The other plant will use this root system and grow faster or be more
healthy.
These methods can be used with screen which spread branches apart, they are sold
for Tomatoes in oder to create the largest plants possible and support their fruits.
You have probably seen them in people's garden's if you do not grow plants of your
own. They are like a conical pyramid type thing that has a grid type structure so that
the branches of the tomato can be supported by the conical pyramid grid shape.
Methods of Plant or Animal Breeding:
There are 3 main methods in plant breeding and they can all be used together and the
second & third methods kind of require the first to work.
The first one is the one everyone has seen, it is the basic square of Dominant and
Recessive genes which create 4 different breeds known as "Phenotypes".
The Second is called Cross Breeding. Cross breeding is done by selecting the specific
Species or strains you want to cross, and crossing them as in the Phenotype Square. Then,
once the Crossed strains are grown out (brother and sister plants), they are then bred
together which will create a new "Locked in" strain with its own 4 Phenotypes.
The Third is called Double Pair Mating. This is where 2 Phenotypes or 2 of 1 Phenotype
that have traits that are desired are bred with 3 other plants, one of those plants being the
same plant that the other one bred with or at least the same phenotype. From this there is
a greater selection from which to Cross breed a specific desired strain.
This Fourth method is not necessarily anything like the others. A lot of people who
consider themselves Science Enthusiasts or something like that will say that Species
means 2 populations that can not interbreed, but this definition is false. In many cases
species are defined as such because they will not interbreed, such as certain birds around
Australia and Polynesia, there is an imaginary line in the Ocean that birds don't cross and
therefor don't breed, and it has created different variations on these birds as they are split
apart for longer periods of time. But they still can breed. And many species do cross
breed, for example different species of Mint will readily breed with one another. This
sometimes even goes one step further when 2 different Genus breed together, this is
readily seen in Orchids. And the most well known recent example is probably the Liger.
Ligers are real animals made by breeding a Lion with a Tiger, there are also Tigons
which are made the same way, it just depends if the mom or dad is a Lion or Tiger. The
most well known older example of this would be Mules, a Mule is the offspring of a
Horse and a Donkey.
Breeding Sacred Frogs and Toads:
Frog and Toads are either easier or harder than Mushrooms depending how you
personally feel about different things.
Coco Coir and other materials can be used for the ground cover of the cage. A large pool
of water must be somewhere in the cage, as frogs and toads are amphibians and there
eggs are lain in water.
And then you just have to raise Tadpoles into frogs, which pretty much just involves
feeding Sacred pets.
Ritual Chemistry:
Ritual Chemistry starts with knowing the 6 basic Chemical Reactions, so here they are
1.
Combination: When 2 or more reactants form 1 product
2.
Decomposition: when a single compound breaks down into 2 or more simpler

compounds
3.
Single Displacement: When a more active element displaces a less active element
4.
Double Displacement: When two different types of elements on a single molecule

are displaced
5.
Combustion: A Combustion reaction occurs when a compound, usually containing

Carbon, combines with the Oxygen gas in the air. Also called Burning
6.
Redox: A Redox is a "Reduction Oxidation Reaction", this is where electrons are

exchanged
Those are the 6 basic Chemical reactions that can occur, and here are some example of
those actually being used.
Ozonolysis: This is when you cleave carbon-carbon bonds using Ozone (O3). The
fragments formed are either Aldehydes or Ketones.
Permanganate Oxidation: Similar to Ozonolysis, but with a stronger oxidizing agent. This
causes what would be Aldehydes and Ketones in Ozonolysis to become Carboxylic
Acids. This is done with Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4).
The Gringard reaction is used to make Alcohols. A Gringard Reagent is made by mixing
Magnesium with any Alkyl Halide. A Grindard Reagemt will react with Carbonyl
compounds to form Alcohols.
Gringard Reagent + Formaldehyde = Primary Alcohols
Gringard Reagent + Aldehydes = Secondary Alcohols
Gringard Reagent + Ketones = Tertiary Alcohols
Sodium Borohydride and Lithium Aluminum Hydride can also be used with Carboxylic
Acids to create Alcohols via Reduction.
Alcohols can be turned to their Carbonyl form using Pyridinium Chlorochromate or the
Jones Reagent (Chromate + Acid). Pyridinium Chlorochromate oxidizes Alcohols to
Aldehydes. The Jones Reagent Oxidizes them further in to the Carboxylic Acid. This is
the same reaction that happens between Iron and Oxygen in the air and water to form
Rust.
Ethers are made with Alcohols by reacting an Alcohol with a Sodium Metal to form an
Alcoxide. Alcoxides can react with primary Halides to make ethers. Halides are
compounds that contain one or more Halogen. Halogens found in Organic compounds are
Flourine, Chlroine, Bromine and Iodine.
In the presence of strong acid and heat, alcohols lose water (H20) to become Alkenes.
Hydrogenation/Adding Hydrogens: Alkenes can be converted into Alkanes by
Hydrogenation (Passing Hydrogen gas through a solution containing a Catalyst, usually
Palladium on Carbon (Pd/C) or Platinum (Pt)) and the Alkene causes hydrogen to be
added across the double bond in a syn addition. Alkynes can also be converted to Alkenes
by Hydrogenation.
Alkenes can be converted to Cyclopropane rings by reacting with a Carbene.
Dichlorocarbene can be made by reacting Cholorform with a base like Sodium Hydroxide
or Calcium Hydroxide.
Thiols are the Sulfur Analogues of Alcohols which are most easily remembered as
"Skunk smells". Oxygen is right above Sulfur on the Periodic table, and these are simply
the compounds that exist based on that fact. Sulfur is kind of like a more reactive form of
Oxygen.
In the Wittig Reaction, an aldehyde or Ketone is reacted with a Phosphroane to make an
Alkene.
Making Phosphorane requires Triphenylphosphine and a Primary Alkyl Halide, then a
strong base in an acid.
Arrhenius Acids & Bases are (acids) Molecules that dissociate in water to form
Hydronium (H3O) and (bases) Molecules that dissociate in water to form Hydroxide Ions
(HO).
Bronsted-Lowery Acids & Bases are Molecules that donate a proton (acids) and
Molecules that accepts protons from an acid (bases)
Adding a Hydrohalic Acid (Usually HCl or HBr) toa double bond converts there Alkene
into an Alkyl Halide
Alkenes react rapidly with Bromine (Br2) or Chlorine (Cl2) in Carbon Tetrachlorida
(CCl4) solvent to make a Dihalide. this is also used as a test to see if unkown compounds
contain an Alkene, because the Blood colored Bromine turns white.
When HCl or HBr when added to a conjugated double bond if it attacks the number 2
carbon it leads to the 1,2-addition product, attacking at number 4 carbon leads to the 1,4addition product. The 1.2-addition usually happens at lower temperatures (0 Celsius) and
the 1,4-addition mostly happens at higher temperatures (40 Celsius).
The Bromonation of Alkanes occurs in the same fashion as the Chloronation of Alkanes,
except that Br2 is used in the reaction instead of Cl2. Bromide Radicals are more selective
for Hydrogen on more substituted Carbons than Chloride radicals. Chlorine will react
with any Hydrogen, while Bromine likes Hydrocarbons specifically. An example of this
would be when Chlorine and Methane meet in the presence of light. As discussed with
Chlorophyll Chlorine will readily react with other atoms, and when Chlorine and
Methane meet in light Chloromethane is made, but so are Chlorine Radicals. With Butane
this would cause unwanted byproducts to be produced, and with other alcohols there
would be even more byproducts. This is why Bromide is used for its selectivity.
Amines are Nitrogen atoms that take the place of a Carbon atom in an Alkane. And more
simply an Amine is a molecule containing an Isolated Nitrogen.
Methyl = 1 Carbon
Ethyl = 2 Carbons
Propyl = 3 Carbons
Butyl = 4 Carbons
etc.
Now, to learn your first Religious Ritual for creating Somic Compounds.
How to Create the 3rd Eye of Shiva:
This is one of the most simple Ritual Chemistry Sacraments to make. At this point I would
like to stress that the Church of Neuroscience is a Religious Organization and that this
should not be used as a "Recipe for Drugs". This is a Ritual used to create Sacred
Materials meant for use by Parishioners of the Church of Neuroscience or in specific
Religious Ceremonies. Similar to how wine can be used recreationally or ceremonially,
but Churches do not sell wine for people to take to parties.
NMT is abundant in many plants and can be made from Tryptophan or Tryptamine.
1.20g of pure NMT was dissolved in 50mL EtOH (Pure Drinking/Grain Alcohol), then
treated with 1.0 mL Acetone, then with 0.5g 10% Pd/C (Palladium on Carbon), and the
reaction mixture was shaken under a H2 (Hydrogen Gas) Atmosphere at 50 psi. for 15h.
The Catalyst was removed by filtration through a bed of Celite, the filtrate was stripped
of solvent under Vacuum (a small Rotary Engine Vacuum Pump), and the solid residue
was recrystallized from Hexane to give 0.93g MIPT (N-Isopropyl-N-Methyltryptamine)
known Sacrementally as The 3rd Eye of Shiva.
This is active at 10-25mg and is used in a Hindu Ritual similar to Christian Communion
or Santo Daime Ayahuasca Ceremonies and extremely comparable to the Church of True
Inner Light's Ceremonial use of DPT. Some people in America think that Shiva is an evil
God because of his role as the Destroyer but, when you are taught that Ganesha is the
Creator of obstacles it puts Shiva in a whole new light.
The last chapter of this book will get into the Relationship between Religion and the Law
in America but, to quickly explain, the Church of Neuroscience is a Religious
Organization in America (which I am a Parishioner of) who use Synthetic Molecules as
Religious Sacraments This can be compared to the Native American use of Peyote. The
founder of the Church, Dr. Jeremy Kerr, has been to the Louisiana Supreme Court as well
as Higher Federal Courts in America, and has won cases in which he argued that it was
his religious right to sell Synthetic Molecules for Religious use. In the most recent case
the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) stopped him and seized at least 6 different
Synthetic Molecules, because some of them were related to Molecules like MDMA
(Ecstasy). But when he took them to court his Sacraments were returned and he was
awarded at least $10,000. This case can be found online by searching "Jeremy Kerr V
DEA".
I only mention this for the Benefit of any Church members or perspective Church
members who are not yet aware of Religious Rights in America.
Here are some items that a Ritual Chemist or aspiring Ritual Chemist should be
aware of:
Still: A system used to separate things that have different boiling points, the most
common example of its use would be in the making of Perfumes and its commercial use
for the creation of Liquor.
Separation Funnel: This is used to separate 2 liquids with different Polarity. For example,
if you had Water and Oil in a mixture, you could put it in one of these and let it sit until it
separates, then remove the bottom later (water) from the top (oil).
Vacuum: For removing Solvents, a common example of its use is in Marijuana
extractions, where they are used to remove the solvent from solvent Hash.
Atmospheric Pressure Chamber: This is a container that can be used to create Inert
Atmospheric (no gases present) for certain reactions, as well as creating a small
environment filled with a certain kind of gas at a certain pressure.
Reflux Device: This is a glass device that allows you keep a material at a constant boil
for any needed period of time by cooling the material when it is a gas at the top of the
device, which allows it to form into a liquid and drip back down to be boiled again
Buret: Used for adding things in drops or in precisely measurable amounts
Magnetic Stirrer & Stir Plate: Used to stir a solution for any needed period of time.
Magnetic Stirrers are acid proof.
Pyrex: A Brand that uses a certain glass that can be heated and cooled without cracking.
It is also acid proof.
Ice Bath: For keeping a mixture cold during reaction
Hot Plate: For heating a mixture to activate a reaction or making it happen faster. The
best ones are rounded for use with flasks
Steam Bath: For applying less direct heat
Coffee Filter: For regular Filtration
Carbon Filter: For heavy duty Filtration
Chapter 2:
Sasha's Work
This Chapter is dedicated to Sasha Shulgin and Mason Ryan Wight
2+3=5 is factual and complete, but is it interesting?
In the 1950's the Scientific Community was looking for names that could be given to these
remarkable substances. And at first an attempt was made to hide or obscure the Religious
and Spiritual nature with names like:
Psychotomimetic, Deliriants, Delusionogenics, Dysleptics, Misperceptinogens,
Mysticomimetics, Phanerothymes, Phantasticants, Pharmakons, Psychosomimetics,
Psychotaraxics, Psychoticants, Psychotogens, Psychogens, Psychotoxins and Schizogens.
This was at a time when the Medical Community believed they could replicate Psychotic
states for research, which was eventually realized not to be possible. But in 1956
Humphry Osmond suggested that they stop pursuing the prefixes Psychoto- or Psychoand instead use "Psyche". Psychedelic did not stick at first with other names being
suggested like:
"Psychephoric" (Mind-Moving)
"Psychehormic" (Mind-Rousing)
"Psycheplastic" (Mind-Molding)
"Psychezymic" (Mind-Fermenting)
"Psycherhexic" (Mind-Bursting-forth)
"Psychelytic" (Mind-Releasing)
But "Psychedelic" (Mind-Manifesting) has weathered all storms. And more modernly
words like Entheogen (God-Created-Within), Entactogen (Touching-Within) or
Empathogen (The Discovery of Empathy) have been used. But these words do not
describe the experience that happens, they simply describe a Religious Sacrament that
allows for these types of experiences.
Psycholytic: Small doses, Multiple sessions & Therapeutic Approach
Psychedelic: Religious Conversion, Religious Ceremony & Crisis Confrontation
Approach
It is probably best place to start the Sasha's work chapter with the Essential Oils. Sasha's
work involved inventing entirely new Molecules and Tasting them, which is a process
where someone first takes a few Micrograms (1milligram is 1/1000th of a gram,
1microgram is 1/1000th of a Milligram) of a substance and then around 3-4 days later
takes a a larger dose and a larger dose until they find out what the activity is and where it
starts. In doing this he discovered how different Molecular structures act differently in the
body. This is called Structure Activity Relationship (SAR). In doing all of this he realized
that some of the most active structures can be found in Nature. Similarly to how DMT is
in many common grasses and plants, there are Phenethylamine structures in many
common herbs that are used in Cooking and Essential Oil making. All of the ones he
listed can be found in most Kitchen Spice racks. And according to Sasha, in principle all
of these can be turned into a Religious Sacrament through Ritual Chemistry simply by
adding an Ammonia molecule (Amine-izing) them. They can be retrieved from the plants
via Fractal Distillation.
Here are the Structures that Sasha noticed were in the Spice Cabinet:
3,4-Dimethoxy Pattern: Methyleugenol, Eugenol, Chavibetol. (Cloves)
3,5-Dimethoxy Pattern: Mugwort & Sage
3,4-Methylenedioxy Pattern: Isosafrole (Root beer)
The 4-Methoxy Pattern: Methylchavicol or Anethole (Basil leaf)
3-Methoxy-4,5-Methylenedioxy Pattern: Croweacin
2-Methoxy-3,4-Methylenedioxy Pattern: Myristicin & Isomyristicin
3,4,5-Trimethoxy Pattern: Elemicin or Isoelemicin
2,4,5-Trimethoxy Pattern: Asarone & Gamma-Asarone (Calamus)
2,5-Dimethoxy-3,4-Methylenedioxy Pattern: Apiole & Isoapiole (Parsley)
2,3-Dimethoxy-4,5-Methylenedioxy Pattern: Dillapiole & Isodillapiole (Dill)
Tetramethoxy Pattern: 1-Allyl-2,3,4,5-Tetramethoxybenzene
Also, Vanillin from Vanilla is similar to these. There is a possibility of 6 arrangement for
the 3 groups:
3,4,5- 2,4,5- 2,3,4- 2,3,5- 2,3,6- & 2,4,6-
And theoretically any oxygen atom can be replaced with a Sulfur, these are known as
Thios. Thio simply means "Sulfur-in-place-of-Oxygen". They also all have Halide forms.
Following is a list of Various possibilities for the placement of new Atoms of a
Phenethylamine or Typtamine ring:
4-AcO
4-HO
4-MeO
2-Me
Alpha
AlphaBeta
NN,NN,N,N5-HO
5-MeO
5-MeS
4,5-MDO
5-Br
4-F
3,4-MD
3-MeO
2-EtO
Then there are also Halide types, being the various Flouro, Chloro, Iodo, Bromo and
Nitro arrangement And any of these can be made into smells by creating Esters.
Now, to learn your first Religious Ritual for creating Halide types of Somic Compounds
Using Religious Rituals to recreate Ocean Bromization:
This first example is an example of MDA, which is the Amine form of Isosafrole (Root
Beer) being Bromized in order to match the Ceremonial structure of a Marine Indole.
This Ritual should only be used in the creation of Ceremonial Sacraments. The Marine
world has offered us Brominated Indoles and we can Honor the Ocean on land by
creating our own Brominated Indoles. An example of a Marine Indole is 5-Br-DMT
which is found in Sea Sponges.
1.
A solution of 3,4-MDA in Acetic acid was treated with Elemental Bromine
generating the Hydrobromide salt of 2-Bromo-4,5-MDA.

And as was mentioned in the first chapter this reaction can be effected simply by
changing the Temperature.
2.
This second example of a Bromization Ritual is completely separate, it is not a

second step.
The reaction of 2,4-DMA with elemental Bromine proceeded directly to the formation of
Meta-DOB
And that is how simple Ritual Bromine reactions are. And again, the Temperature can
determine everything about the reaction, meaning changing the Temperature can create
something completely different. Using HBr Acid would be another way to change the
outcome.
The 10 Classic Ladies:
Sasha left something like a Symbolic Key or Map that others can follow and he called
these the 10 Classic Ladies. The 10 Classic Ladies show you alterations on a Molecule
and allow you to have a definition for what you have done to a Molecule if you do that
same thing to it. Just like how Cacti and Mushrooms do some of the same processes as
each other, but they use Phenethylamine and Trpytamine respectively. You can do the
things Sasha did in the lab with other Molecules, and knowing the 10 Classic Ladies you
can have a definition for what you have done.
At first Sasha was going to replace the 10 Possible Hydrogen Atoms on the Molecule and
each of those would be one of the 10 Classic Ladies. But as he started working through it
other things came up and he ended up showing how to do various other things, then used
one of the Masculine 10 Ladies (Named after the God Ganesha) to show everyone how to
go in entirely different directions with these Molecules using Halides and other
structures.
ARIADNE
Historically, Ariadne is the Women who gave the ball of Twine (Called a "Clue" in
Greek, which is where the word Clue comes from) to Theseus so that he could leave a
trail and find his way out of the Labyrinth
Ariadne is when you put a Methyl in place of a Hydrogen on an Amine chain. What
many people do is alter the 4-Position while leaving the Alpha-Position alone.
BEATRICE
Beatrice was named after Beatrice from Dante's Divine Comedy
Beatrice is when you add a Methyl group on the Nitrogen atom
CHARMIAN
Charmian was Sasha's friend's Schizophrenic wife, as well as Cleopatra's Attendant
Charmian is when you replace the Alpha-Hydrogen atom with a Methyl group

And that is the 10 Classic Ladies. Once you have come to a point where you completely
understand those you should be able to start imagining up all kinds of ways to use Ritual
Chemistry to create all kinds of compounds. And any of these can be made into smells by
turning them in to Esters.
Halides in Ritual Chemistry:
Halides have been mentioned a few times in this book but only the Bromo forms have
been mentioned or shown. So now is time to learn your first Religious Ritual Involving
the creation of a Chlorine Halide as well as another example of a Bromine Halide in
reverence of the Ocean (some Marine Sponges create 5-Br-x Molecules in the same
fashion that mushrooms make 4-HO-x ones). An example of a Ritual involving Nitrogen
will also be included. Bromine will be 1, Chlorine will be 2 and Nitrogen will be 3. These
rituals should only be done in Ceremony, not for recreational purposes.
1.
To a well stirred solution of 1.95g of the freebase of 2,5-DMA in 12mL Glacial

Acetic Acid there was added 1.8g elemental Bromine dissolved in 4mL Acetic Acid
over the course of 5min. The slightly exothermic reaction was allowed to stir for 3h,
and then added to about 200mL H2O. The cloudy solution was washed with 2x
100mL Et2O made basic with Aqueous NaOH and extracted with 3x 100mL CH2Cl2.
Evaporation from the pooled extracts gave about 3mL of a pale amber oil which was
dissolved in 250mL Anhydrous Et2O and saturated with Anhydrous HCl gas. The
fine was Crystals of DOB (1.7g) were removed by filtration.
Active at 1mg
2.
A Solution of 6.96g of 2,5-DMA Hydrochloride in 250mL H2O was made basic with
Aqueous NaOH and extracted with 3x 75mL CH2Cl2. After removal of the solvent
from the pooled extracts under vacuum the residual freebase was dissolved in 36g
Glacial Acetic Acid and, with good stirring, cooled to 0 degrees Celsius with an
external ice bath. There was then added with a Pasteur pipette 3mL of liquid
Chlorine. The Generation of HCl was evident, and the reaction was allowed to stir
for an additional 3h. The mixture was then poured into 300mL H2O and washed with
3x 100mL Et2O. The Aqueous phase was made basic with NaOH and extracted with 3x
150mL CH2Cl2. After removal of the solvents from the pooled extracts, the residue
was dissolved in Et2O and saturated with Anhydrous HCl gas. There was the
formation of a heavy precipitate. The ether supernatent was decanted and the residue
was intimately mixed with 200mL of fresh anhydrous Et2O. Everything set up as an
off white crystalline mass weighing 2.3g. This was dissolved in 12mL of boiling
MeOH and diluted with 230mL boiling Et2O. The solution was quickly filtered to
give a clear, pale amber, mother liquor, which soon started depositing lustrous white
crystals. After filtering, Et2O washing, and air drying, there was obtained 1.4g of
DOC.
Active at 1.5mg
3.
A solution of 8.4g 2,5-DMA base in 40mL Acetic Acid was added dropwise over the
course of 30min to 43mL of 50% Nitric Acid which was well stirred and cooled with
an external ice bath. The resulting solution was quenched with ice water, made basic
with NaOH, and extracted with a Benzene-Ether mixture. The residue that remained
after removal of the solvent was dissolved in dillute HCl which, upon evaporation of
the H2O yielded a nearly colorless residue. Recrystallization from an Ethanol/Ether
mixture gave, after drying, 10.5g of DON.
Active at 3mg
These types of Rituals can be done with various starting materials to create various
Sacramental products.
Oilahuasca
In Sasha's work he mentioned that the Essential oils could most likely be converted into
Amines using Ammonia from your own Liver. For example, if you have ever taken an
Aspirin, Aspirin is a non-Active compound, but once it is processed by the Liver it
becomes an active compound. This is also similar to Ayahuasca. The DMT in Ayahuasca
is inactive until you add an MAOI to the mixture, at which point it becomes an active
drink, but this is not because of your Liver it is because of your MAO enzymes.
There are other enzymes present in your stomach called CYP450 or Cytochrome P450
Enzymes. These enzymes are responsible for various other parts of the breaking down of
various things. Using simple things like Cinnamon, Vanilla, German Chamomile and
Echinacea (Anti-Oxidants stop the Oxidation processes of the body) you can halt these
processes and create Molecules in your own bloodstream. I only want to mention it here
because eventually there will be a book written specifically about this because there is
way too much to fit into one chapter. There could be an entire new "Sasha's Work"
chapter in an entirely different book full of his work on the subject of the chemistry going
on inside of our bodies.
Chapter 3:
The Periodic Table
Fertilizers are not as difficult to understand as they seem. It seems like when you buy a
bottle of Fertilizer there must be some hardcore science going in to making molecules
designed to boost plant growth, but no, Miracle Grow, Fox Farm and other Fertilizer
brands do not add plant hormones or stimulants to their basic mixtures, the main
ingredient of a Fertilizer is usually some form of Nitrogen and usually in some Ammonia
form, then it will be mixed with things like Phosphates and Chelated Copper and Zinc,
etc. Most Fertilizers are not anything special.
Anyone growing plants for Religious reasons should make their own Fertilizers, for two
reasons, firstly most Fertilizers are made for the average person who wants big tomatoes
and big flowers, and the mixtures that are made fit pretty much any plant but, that does
not mean that they are perfect for every plant. If you make your own Fertilizers you can
figure out exactly what your plants like and give it to them. Then you can also add
Sacraments made using Ritual Chemistry to create new compounds within the plant.
Here are the main ingredients a Fertilizer should have:

Nitrogen in some form that is available to plants
Water Soluble Potash
Phosphate in some form that is available to plants
Magnesium
Silicate
Boron
Calcium
Copper (Chelated)
Iron (Chelated)
Manganese (Chelated)
Zinc (Chelated)
There are also plant Hormones that can be added, such as Tryptophol, and many of the
needed Elements can be found mixed together in various forms. For example Calcium
Nitrate contains both Calcium and Nitrogen. Fertilizer form farms in just Ammonia gas,
which is injected into the ground and, Ammonia is simply Nitrogen gas + Hydrogen gas.
Chapter 4:
Religious Rights
This book is not just meant for Americans as Religion is International but, this chapter
should be informational to anyone who lives in or is coming to America. I have met
many people who do not know what the Church of Neuroscience is or the Universal Life
Church or anything about Hinduism and, the idea that Religious Sacraments are not
something that can be legislated by Statutory Law may seem confusing to some people at
first. There are 3 main types of law in the United States:
Constitutional Law, Statutory Law & Case Law
Acts of Congress:
"The Congress finds that laws 'Neutral' towards religion may burden Religious exercise
as surely as laws intended to interfere with Religious exercise."
"Religious Exercise includes any Exercise of Religion, whether or not compelled by, or
central to, a system of Religious Belief"
Hudson V United States:
"Congress must first enact a law criminalizing an activity, attach a penalty, and give the
Federal courts Jurisdiction in order to render a conviction."
Free Exercise Clause:
"Congress shall make no law prohibiting the Free Exercise of Religion"
The Sherbert Test (Sherbert V Verner):
"If a Government confronts and individual with a choice that pressures the individual to
forgo a Religious practice, whether by imposing a penalty or withholding a benefit, then
the Government has burdened the individuals free Religious Exercise."
Yick Wo V Hopkins
"Even Neutral laws can be used Unconstitutionally"
Cutter V Wilkinson
"Non-Mainstream Religions are Religions"
Everson V The Board of Education
"The effects on all Religions must be considered when making a ruling on a single
Religion."

Near V Minnesota
Saia V New York
Miami Herald Publishing Co. V Tornillo
Adamson V california
Gitlow V New York
Schneider V NewJersy
Bose Corp. V Consumers Union of United States
Snyder V Phelps
R.A.V. V City of St. Paul
Agency for International Development V Alliance for Open Society International
Presbyterian V Hull
The Native American Church represents the Oldest Religious movement in America. It is
dedicated to preserving the traditions of the Native American people's. The Churches
vary from place to place, where some involve a lot of dancing or other traditional
ceremonies but almost all of them involve the use of Peyote in their Religious
ceremonies. The Native American Church is also a good example of Religion and Law in
the United States. America has always wanted to protect the Ceremonial use of Peyote
for the Native American people and this is usually upheld but a court case (Employment
Division V Smith) decided that an employer had the Contractual Right to deny
employment to someone on the basis of Mescaline in that person's Urine.
Congress Recognized this infringement on Religious Freedom and put forward the
Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The Act reads:
(A) Findings:
The Congress Finds that(1) The framers of the Constitution, recognizing free exercise of religion as an
unalienable right, secured its protection in the first Amendment to the Constitution
(2) Laws "Neutral" towards religion may burden religious exercise as surely as laws
intended to interfere with religious exercise.
(3) Governments should not substantially burden religious exercise without compelling
justification;
(4) in Employment Division V Smith the Supreme Court virtually eliminated the
requirement that the Government justify burdens on religious exercise impose by laws
neutral towards religion; and
(5) the compelling interest test as set forth in prior Federal court rulings is a workable
test for striking balances between religious Liberty and competing Government interests.
(B) Purpose:
The Purposes of this Chapter are(1) to restore the compelling interest test as set forth in Sherbert V Verner and Wisconsin
V Yoder and to guarantee its application in all cases where Free Exercise to Religion is
substantially burdened; and
(2) to provide a claim or defense to a person whose religious exercise is substantially
burdened by Government
In another Section of the same Chapter it says:
(A) In General
Government shall not substantially burden a person's exercise of Religion even if the
burden results from a rule of general applicability, except as provided in subsection (b)
of this section.
(B)Exception
Government may substantially burden a person's exercise of religion only if it
demonstrates that application of the burden to the person(1) is in furtherance of a compelling Governmental interest; and
(2) is the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling Government interest.
So, to translate that we can look at court cases where it has been used.
First, Sherbert V Verner which was mentioned as an example of how the courts should
test to see if Government is burdening religion.
Sherbert V Verner:
"If a Government confronts and individual with a choice that pressures the individual to
forego a religious practice, whether by imposing a penalty or withholding a benefit, then
the government has burdened the individuals free exercise of Religion."
Then Burwell V Hobby Lobby which was a Landmark case in 2014
Burwell V Hobby Lobby
"The ability to conduct business in according with Religious beliefs"
Burwell V Hobby Lobby involved an employee who was denied coverage for
Contraceptives because of the companies belief that a baby has a soul upon conception.
And in denying this to their employee they were rejecting an Act of Congress (The
Affordable Care Act). But the Religious Freedom Restoration Act was applied and it was
decided that Private individuals and Privately held companies have the ability to conduct
business in accordance with religious beliefs, regardless of laws imposed by Acts of
Congress,
Gonzales V O Centro
Secured the possession and importation of Ayahuasca (which contains DMT, a Schedule
I substance) into America through the mail from South America.
In this case a Church from Brazil started a branch in America, then ordered 30 Gallons of
Ayahuasca in order to preform religious ceremonies in the states. All 30 Gallons were
seized by customs on the basis that they contained a Schedule I Substance. So the Church
sued for the return of the tea and to secure future importations from being seized and
when the Religious Freedom Restoration Act was applied the court ruled in favor of the
Church.
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act has made things much better for Religion in
America but, using the Free Exercise Clause the Church of Santo Daime was able to
secure the Possession of Ayahuasca (though not the importation of it) a decade or two
earlier. And now that these 2 cases exist in the Case Law the Religious Freedom
Restoration Act no longer needs to be applied to cases like this, the court can just be
made aware of these 2 rulings where possession and importation have been secured.
Another example of the Free Exercise Clause in action is the Peyote Way Church of God
V Colorado. This was a case where a group of Mormons started a new Church where
they use Peyote as a Sacrament. They were not Native American but considered it part of
their Religion. The court ruled in their favor and The Peyote Way Church of God has
spread to many places across America.
And this brings us to a very important case in American History. This case has acted just
like the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in various situations. In many cases the nonReligious party will try to make the court feel as if they have no option but to follow the
Statutory Law based on something like an Act of Congress but this case can show a court
that they have the ability to openly interpret Statutes.
The Church of the Holy Trinity V The United States:
"A Familiar rule, that a thing may be within the letter of the statute and yet not within the
statute, because not within its spirit, nor the intention of its makers."
The Holy Trinity case was brought before the court in a Political Climate that was very
similar to the Mexican-American border situation in 2015. People come to America
looking for jobs but some Americans don't like that, so in this time period Congress had
passed an Act making it a crime for anyone to contract work outside of America. The
Church of the Holy Trinity Contracted a Minister from another nation and ended up in
court and the court ended up saying that Laws should not infringe on Religion.
Presbyterian V Hull
"A Court shall not rule on Doctrine"
Presbyterian V Hull was a similar case that shows in any case the importance of
Government not making rulings about Religious Doctrine. A Church decided to start
letting Women become Ministers and within the Christian tradition Women are not
supposed to be Ministers (this is much different than Hinduism) and because of this there
was a split in the Church. They went to court because of a property dispute and it was
decided that a court should not entangle itself with religion by making a ruling on if the
new branch was a Church. They were both Churches and the court decided it should treat
them both like Churches.
And many people in America think that Christians have rights but that other Religions do
not, this has also been decided in the Supreme Court. The 2 biggest cases about this were
Cutter V Wilkinson and Everson V Board of Education.
Cutter V Wilkinson:
"Non-Mainstream Religions are Religions"
Everson V Board of Education:
"All Religions must be considered when making a ruling on a single Religion"
But a very interesting case about non-Christian Religions is the Church of Lukumi
Babalu Aye V City of Hialeah.
Church of Lukumi Babalu Aye V City of Hialeah:
"The City does not argue that Santeria is not a 'Religion' within the meaning of the First
Amendment. Nor could it."
This was a case in which a Santeria church was moving to a Florida town but this
bothered people in the community because Santeria involves Animal Sacrifice. So the
Legislators in town decided to start making laws that forbade animal sacrifice. But the
Establishment Clause says that No Laws shall be made to prohibit religion. So, for
example, if a member of the Church of Neuroscience were to announce that they were
going to start a Temple, it would be illegal for any town to start making laws that forbid
the use of certain Chemicals that the church uses as Sacraments.
The Federalist Papers No 10:
"From the influence of these on the sentiments and views of the respective proprietors,
ensues a division of the society into different interests and parties."
"By a faction, I understand a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or a
minority of the whole, who are united by some common impulse or passion, or of interest,
adversed to the rights of other citizens, or the permanent and aggregate interests of the
community,"
Pierce V Society of Sisters:
Due Process for the Establishment Clause
Peirce V Society of Sisters is a case where a Catholic School was not following Statutory
Law and it has been said that this case is something like the Magna Carta for Religious
Schools in America.
And more recently Congress passed what is called The Religious Land Use and
Institutionalized Persons Act. This Act is much more broad than the Religious Freedom
Restoration Act. The Religious Freedom Restoration Act has a definition for Government
which is:
(1) The term "government" includes a branch, department, agency, instrumentality, and
official (or other person acting under Color of Law) of the united states or a covered
entity.
While the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act defines Government as:
(i) a State, county, municipality, or other governmental entity created under the authority
of a State;
(ii) any branch, department, agency, instrumentality, or official of an entity listed in
clause (i); and
(iii) any other person acting under color of State Law.
(B) Includes the United States, a branch, department, agency, instrumentality, or official
of the United States, and any other person acting under Color of Federal Law.
So the Religious Freedom Restoration Act Covers only Federal Law while the Religious
Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act covers even City and Municipal Law. So it
has more broad coverage of Rights. It also contains 4 things that the Religious Freedom
Restoration Act doesn't have, first it Covers Free Exercise cases as well as:
(1) Government Funded Programs or Activities affected by a Policy
(2) Any Policy that may effect trade between States, Native Tribes or Foreign Nations
(3) Land Use Regulations
.
I have never heard of a case where the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons
Act has been used yet but, according to it Congress has completely eliminated any Land
Use Regulation for a Religious person, and "Free Exercise" has been expanded to include
the conversion of property. Then there is also a section which says that Religious Rights
should not be denied to prisoners. In the protection of prisoners section it has the same
exact wording as the Religious Freedom Restoration Act where is says that the
Government can only burden religion in the least Restrictive way. So it is only a matter
of time before the Church of Neuroscience and the Santo Daime Church start winning
cases allowing us/them to use Sacraments in jail and have them mailed in, similar to how
Ayahuasca (which contains DMT) has been allowed into the country by the "Least
restrictive means" rule.
The Third thing it has that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act doesn't have is Broad
Construction. It says that it is for use in Free Exercise Cases, as well as Land Use cases
and Religious Prisoner Rights cases, then it goes on to say:
(G)Broad Rules of Construction
This chapter shall be construed in favor of a broad protection of religious exercise, to the
maximum extent permitted by this chapter and the constitution.
It is asking people to use the Constitution for their court cases. Instead of offering court
cases for the court to follow as rules, it asks you to offer court cases and Constitutional
arguments. And I have never heard of anyone using it in court yet, because the Religious
Freedom Restoration Act (from 1993) is still being used for the first times now
(2013-2014 were some of the first and biggest cases).
And the 4th thing that makes it much different than the Religious Freedom Restoration
Act is the definition of Religious Exercise:
Religious Exercise includes any Exercise of Religion, whether or not compelled by or
central to a system of Religious Belief
And the reason that no one has heard of this is because it is so effective, for instance it
gives the Government this option:
(E) Governmental discretion in alleviating burdens on religious exercise
A government may avoid the preemptive force of any provisions of this chapter by
changing the policy or practice that results in a substantial burden on religious exercise,
by retaining the policy or practice and exempting the substantially burdened religious
exercise, by providing exemptions from the policy or practice for applications that
substantially burden religious exercise, or by any other means that eliminates substantial
burden.
Here are 2 cases that could have used the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized
Persons Act, but they won using only a Free Exercise Argument.
Holt V Hobbs
Growing a Religious beard in Jail is a Religious Right
If the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act were applied to that case it
would have automatically been decided in favor of the Prisoner. But they used a Free
Exercise argument and the example that a Christian Prisoner had been allowed to grow a
beard, and that the beard requested was only the length of a Dime. And it was part of the
Islamic faith to have a beard.
A Similar case happened with a Muslim Police Officer.
Police V City of Newark:
Growing a Religious beard as a Government Employee is a Religious Right
This case is very similar in that it fits the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Act's
"Free Exercise" even though it is not a Land Use Regulation or in the context of a jail, it
is a Policy which interferes with Religious Exercise.
Another example would be Cruz V Beto.

Cruz V Beto:
Non-Abrahamic Religions can be pursued in jail
This was a case in where a Buddhist Prisoner was blocked from his Religion because it
was not the Religion that a certain Jail or Prison saw as Godly, so he took it to court as a
Free Exercise case and won. This example and the other two examples are just simple
examples where the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act could have
made everything happen faster but, it can be used for things like allowing someone to
turn their House into a Temple, Home Owners Associations no longer have the right to
create Policies that prevent Religious Conversion of Property. And once it gets applied to
Prisoners it will bring Ayahuasca Ceremonies into Jails and Sacraments from the Church
of Neuroscience.
Here are some old Cases happened before the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized
Persons Act but they are along the same lines as far as Religious Land Use:
Serbian Orthodox Diocese V Milivojevich:
Per the Establishment Clause, decisions imposed by Hierarchical Religious
Organizations are binging in civil courts
Kedroff V St. Nicholas Cathedral of Russian Orthodox in North America
Greek Archdiocese V Abrams
Dartmouth College V Woodward
And these are just General cases about what Law is that also match up with what the
Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act says:
United States V Hudson:
"Congress must first enact a law criminalizing an activity, attach a penalty, and give the
Federal courts jurisdiction in order to render a conviction"
Free Exercise Clause:
"Congress shall make no Law prohibiting the Free Exercise of Religion"
Hilton V Guyot
"No law has any effect , of its own force, beyond the limits of the Sovereignty from which
its authority was derived."
Brown V New Jersey:

"The States has full control over the procedure in its courts, both in civil and criminal
cases, subject only to the qualification that such procedure must not work a denial of
fundamental rights, or conflict with specific and applicable provisions of the
Constitution."
Yick Wo V Hopkins:
"A Law that seems Neutral but that is used discriminatorily, is an unconsitutional law."
The main section of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act puts
forward 2 subsections that explain how it works:
(A) Cause of Action
A Person may assert a violation of this chapter as a claim or defense in a judicial
proceeding and obtain appropriate relief against government. Standing to assert a claim
or defense under this section shall be governed by the general rules of standing under
article III of the Constitution
Article III simply establishes that one Supreme Court is at the top and establishes the
Federal Courts. The next part of that section in the RLUIPA says
(B) Burden of Persuasion
If a plaintiff produces Prima Facie evidence to support a claim alleging a violation of the
Free Exercise Clause or section 2000cc of this title, the government shall bear the
burden on any element of the claim, except that the plaintiff shall bear the burden of
persuasion on whether the law (including a regulation) or government practice that is
challenged by the claim substantially burdens the plaintiff's exercise of religion..
Then there is the part about Trade between States, Native Tribes or Foreign Nations. The
way those kind of cases work is, for example, truck drivers have to go from State to State
and Congress is in charge of Commerce between the States. So Congress has to put
things in place to protect Truck drivers from State's making laws that might stop them
from going from State to State. A specific example would be Truck Flaps. If a State
makes laws saying that a special kind of Truck flap is required that is not required other
places, then they are putting a burden on the drivers. But in this situation it is being
applied to policy that burdens religion.
Here is an example of some Rhetoric from a case like this:
Southern Pacific Co. V Jensen:
"If New York can subject foreign ships coming into her ports to such obligations as those
imposed by her Compensation Statute, other States may do likewise. The necessary
consequences would be destruction of the very uniformity in respect to Maritime matters
which the Constitution was designed to establish"

The Kula Ring:
The Kula Ring is a system of trade that is the best example of a Gift Economy (it is used
as an example in Anthropology) and it exists within a Tribal Religious system. It is also
the best example of people going out onto the ocean with nothing but a small canoe or
raft or reed boat and make long dangerous journeys for very little in return.
It exists between a small group of Islands and the members of the various tribes will do
things like take a load of Necklaces made of white sea shells and then make the
dangerous journey simply to trade them for Bracelets made with red sea shells. The tribes
do connect in this way and are able to create relationships for future trade.
The Columbia Effect:
The word Columbia comes from Christopher Columbus. Washington DC means District
of Columbia and BC means British Columbia, and the country of Columbia is called
Columbia. Even though Columbus discovered the Bahamas, which is why the Caribbean
Islands are called the West Indies (He thought he was in India). He was pretty much lost,
but now his name is the basis of many of our regions names and Coffee, Marijuana,
Tobacco & Jalapeo peppers can be found almost anywhere in the world.
Hellenization:
Hellenization was a period of almost 500 years just after Alexander the Great died and
just before the life of Jesus. Alexander the Great went to various countries and took
control of them in various ways and after he died all of those kingdoms (From Greece, to
Egypt to modern Pakistan) had a ton of Technology and Resources to trade with each
other, as well as various wars which eventually led to the Roman Empire taking control
of it all. An example of the changes are Statues in India, there were no Statues before
Hellenization brought the idea there. A specific example is The Buddha who was
depicted as an Empty throne or as Footprints in sand before Hellenization. The major
changes in Greece came from 2 books, one was called Babyloniaca and the other
Eagyptiaca or The History of Babylon and the History of Egypt. This brought Zoroastrian
Astrology into Western Science which later became Astronomy and it brought the entire
Egyptian history (pretty much the same information we have now) to the Greek world, an
example of this is the word Dynasty which was invented in the book Aegyptiaca.

To a Solution of 50g L-Tryptophan (can be bought or extracted from Milk) in water was
added a solution of an excess of Copper (II) Acetate in water. The resultant precipitate
was filtered, the pooled extracts were then washed several times with hot water to give
the Copper Chelate compound.
A suspension of Tryptophan Copper Chelate in DMSO was heated at 170-175 Degrees
Celsius for several minutes, during which time an evolution of Carbon Dioxide was
observed, After cooling, the resultant mixture was made basic with 30% Sodium
Hydroxide solution and extracted with Chloroform (Made from Acetone and Sodium
Hydroxide). After Vacuuming the solvent the residue was distilled to give Tryptamine in
40% yield.

A Suspension of 10g Tryptamine base in 10g Butyl Formate was held at Relfux for 24h,
then the solvents Vacuumed. The residue was partitioned between dilute HCl & CH2Cl2
and the aqueous phase extracted twice with additional CH2Cl2, the pooled extracts were
washed once with dilute aqueous HCl, once with dilute aqueous NaOH then vacuumed to
a black oil. This was distilled at the Kugel-Rohr to give 9.05g of N-formyltryptamine.
1.88g N-Formyltryptamine in 40mL anhydrous Et2O was added to 60 mL of a 1N
solution of LAH in THF, well stirred under Argon, and held at Reflux for 24h. After
cooling to room temperature the excess anhydride was destroyed by the addition of 20mL
of 50% aqueous THF. Solids were removed by filtration, and the filter cake was washed
with damp THF repeatedly. Then vacuumed and distilled at 135-145 Degrees Celsius to
give 1.22g NMT.
