Make your own K2 incense blends.

A lot of people are hearing about k2, serenity now, and other herbal incense mixtures, and are becoming aware that jwh-018, a chemical fertilizer, commonly used for bonsai trees, is the main ingredient that demands such a high price, and causes the blends to have such a unique aroma.

What a lot of people don't know, is that it is a simple matter to make your own incense blends for 1/10th the cost!

Disclaimer!!! This is solely an informational document about making inexpensive incense blends for the home.
*NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION*

How its done...

First of all, you must obtain 1 gram of JWH-018. There are several vendors. you'll be looking at spending between $50 and $70. Check google.

You'll want to obtain some good herbal substrate. K2, Serenity now, and other use complex herb mixtures, but I would recommend either mullein or marshmallow leaves as a substrate. they are very mellow, burn smoothly, and have a nice aroma. Get a pound, it's super cheap, usually like 10-20 dollars, and that is enough to do SEVERAL batches.

You'll need some acetone. Just be ABSOLUTELY certain it doesn't contain any denaturing agents. If it contains them, you're gonna have a bad time! The ones listed below are free of denaturing agents!

You'll also need an acetone proof spray bottle. This is important. Acetone will eat like acid through most plastics. You want, preferably a high density poly-ethylene (HDPE) spray bottle. Again, I have some good acetone safe spray bottles listed below

You'll also need a measuring cup that will do ml's.

a scale that can weigh around 100g accurately.

and a glass baking dish.

First, measure out 4ml of acetone, and dissolve your gram of jwh-018 into it. If it wont completely disovle, add acetone a little at a time until it does, then place the acetone in the spray bottle. (Okay, I've received a lot of questions about this, 4ml IS enough to disolve the jwh-018, but it is a small amount to use in the spray bottle, especially if using a larger spray bottle. If you wish to make it easier to handle, increase the amount of acetone to ~50ml. This will not effect the potency of your blend, it will just take it longer to dry. OR alternatively, you can look for a smaller hdpe spray bottle.)

The amount of herb that you use will define the strength of the mixture. 100g will make it 10mg/g, which is a little on the weak side, and 50g will make it 20mg/g which is quite strong, like k2 summit. I prefer somewhere in the middle so I usually use 75 grams of herb which makes it about 15 mg/g.


However much you decide to use, spread it out in your glass baking dish.

Now this is the most dangerous part. You must spray the leaves as evenly as possible, or you can get "hotspots" or localized areas in your mixture that have much higher concentrations of jwh-018 that can be dangerous. So, set your spray nozzle to as fine a spray as possible, and spray a few times to just moisten the surface, stir up your leaves, spray again, stir, spray again, and so on until all the acetone is gone.

Then set the baking dish in a cool dry place until all the smell from the acetone is gone. I usually leave it overnight. It is very important that all of the acetone is evaporated, acetone isn't good for you!

Once it is dry, you have your very own jwh-018 incense blend.

I don't know if you were keeping track, but at $60 a gram for the jwh, $20 a pound for the marshmallow, a few dollars for the acetone, that means it costs just a touch more than $1 a gram. Compare this to k2 summit at $10 a gram, and you can see the money you save. For less than $100 you can make just over 2 and a half ounces of high potency incense blend.

Have fun!

Pure Acetone 

Needs to be absolutely pure so it doesn't leave GAK in your incense

  












Glass Ware 

Nice glass makes measuring and drying MUCH easier

Pyrex Bakeware 8-Inch Square Cake Pan, Clear
Pyrex Grip-Rite 3-Quart Oblong Baking Dish Clear
Glass Cylinder 10ml

Scales 

You have to measure your substrate by weight, not volume.

Top 5 Xbox 360 exclusives to look forward to after Halo Reach

Halo Reach, which was released on September 14th, became the latest exclusive hit on the Xbox 360. Fortunately, it won’t be the last either. Here are the top 5 games Xbox 360 exclusives to look forward to after you are done playing Halo Reach.

5. Elysian Tail: Dust
Winner of Microsoft XNA’s Dream-Build-Play competition in 2009, Elysian Tail: Dust is a flashy action 2D game (similar to Muramasa: The Demon Blade) that features gorgeous graphics and top-notch animation. Despite being made by just one person, Elysian Tail: Dust is certainly one of the best-looking Xbox Live Arcade exclusive games on the Xbox 360.
4. Dance Central
Microsoft is banking heavily on their buttons-free motion-controller, Kinect, to extend the lifespan of the Xbox 360. The most impressive launch game shown so far has been Dance Central, which comes from the creator of Rock Band. The dancing title uses Kinect to track your body movements to provide an immersive experience. Dance Central should be a killer app for Kinect.
3. Project Draco
Project Draco is the latest title from the creator of the much-beloved but long-abandoned Panzer Dragoon series. Using Kinect as a controller, you will fly through the sky and attack enemies while riding on your dragon. Although not much else is known other than the possibility of online multiplayer support, Project Draco appears to be a spiritual successor to Panzer Dragoon.
2. Codename: Kingdoms
At E3 2010, Microsoft announced that a new collaborative project with Crytek, the developers of the visually stunning Crysis games. Aside from a live-action trailer featuring gladiators, not much is otherwise known about Codename: Kingdoms. Even so, you can rest assure that Crytek will be pushing the graphical prowess of the Xbox 360 with their upcoming exclusive game.
1. Gears of War 3
Aside from Halo, Gears of War is the biggest exclusive franchise on the Xbox 360. Gears of War 3 further ups the ante set by the previous titles by featuring four-player co-op support for the campaign mode. Furthermore, the game will also include a new mode called Beast, in which you play as the Locust. With some of the best-looking graphics on the system to boot, Gears of War 3 is easily the best Xbox 360 exclusive game to look forward to after you are done playing Halo Reach

'Sesame Street' Takes Katy Perry Off The Air Because Of Her Clevage






We all know Katy Perry loves to show cleavage, so no one should have been surprised when she appeared on Seseme Street with her breasts on full display. But some parents were surprised. Some were even angry about Katy Perry showing so much cleavage while doing a  "Hot N Cold," parody with Elmo. Looks like they don't want there toddlers the same part of the body they were sucking on just months ago.
Anyway after the parents got pissed Seseme Street got scared and decided not to show the clip during a new year's episode. Sorry kids, no boobs for you. At least you still get Elmo, who, doesn't wear any pants if you have not noticed.

Here's the clip



The only other time this has happened was in February 2007 when Sesame Street yanked a duet with Elmo and Chris Brown. He must have been showing to much cleavage too
