Bannadine: Fact or Fiction?

[Nosferatu]

The theory is that you can free base a chemical named bannadine(sp?) from the peels of bananas and smoke it for an LSD/DMT type high.

The base extraction given to me goes like this.

You take 10 lbs of bananas, peel them all, and dry the peels in the microwave.

You crush these dried peels up and soak them for 2 days in a container of zippo lighter fluid. (A specific chemical was given in the actualy instructions but I forgot what it was and I was told Zippo fluid works well as a substitute.)

After 2 days, filter out the fluid and rinse your glob very well with Ether.

After rinsing with ether put your substance in ethyl alcohol and let sit for 2 more days.

Filter out the alcohol and you should be left with a crack rock looking substance that is supposdly "150% free base bannadine".

Put it in a pipe and smoke.



Would some of you chemists put some thought into this and see if it's truth or bullshit? If it works I'd like to try it but I don't want to waste time and supplies on something that's a complete waste of time.

You take 10 lbs of bananas, peel them all, and dry them in the microwave. See, this is where you fucked up. You have to actually eat all the banannas for the banannadine to take full effect, DUH!

[Nosferatu]

I meant you dry the peels.

I tried it and i got fucking high ! Yeah it has carbon, nitrogen, etc like DMT. That's why it works, and it acts on the 1,2,3-NMDA receptors like mescaline.
But i found that it is only 125% freebase bannadine with my triple beam scale, still a good buzz though. It's definately worth it and you will get enough experience in drug biochemistry to make better stuff like LSD.

[Nosferatu]

Did you use the method I posted or was it another base extraction method?

[mebesideme]

lol, my friend tried that once, he tripped balls...

[Antimatter235]

this one. but i rinced it with acetone instead of ether.

[Nosferatu]

Could I get pure enough ether to do this with by mixing starter fluid with water and syphoning off the top layer?

[Nosferatu]

And with your chemistry knowledge, do you think this will work with my extracted ether, and the zippo fluid? I'd like to give it a try if you guys can tell me it's a go.

[Antimatter235]

it won't be as pure, but it works ok with extracted ether and zippo fluid.

this is mostly BS... (the anarchist cookbook is mostly crappy chemistry)...

that said, there are interesting alkaloids in bananas, avacados, oranges, and many other fruits...
if you had a good enough lab, you might be able to extract & purify "active" indolics chems (prolly something like bufotenine, & not really dmt or even 5meodmt); a lot of other chems in 'em might be able to be used as precursor compounds for other more interesting subtances...




oh, and this has been discussed to death on many other threads before...
(UTFSE as they say)

but if it's psychedelic tryptamines you are looking for, there are many, many better sources...

[Nosferatu]

I want to know if any of you have actualluy tried this. And if you have what are the results? I'd rather rely on factual evidence than hearsay.

[InFlames420]

man thats complete bs, it's just a joke. The whole point is to get inexpirienced people to waste their time any money. All these people saying that it messes you up are liars. I find it very disgusting that people here lied to you about this topic. You people are childish, stupid, and they give responsible for all of the negitive stereotypes attatched to drug use. All of that jargon they are feeding you is just to make you belive them. Just because a substance contains nitrogen and carbon doesn't make it a psychedelic. All you people should be ashamed of yourselves.

[MrSoul]

props inflames, it's true...the whole thing was concocted in the 60's as a satire article in a college paper and never really was understood as satire since. not to antagonize antimatter's 1,2,3-NMDA receptor of course, but only the truth should be propagated, we can't have misinformation out there getting people hurt, or worse....

[drumminmama]

didn't 150 percent tip you off? a solution can only be 100 percent.

[EllisDTripp]

Bananadine doesn't exist. Reading the forum FAQ would have explained this.

Thread locked as a total waste of bandwidth...:rolleyes:
