At an herb store. While it.was rather expensive at 17 a half lb, does anyone think it could be steam distilled?

Sure it can

I never distilled it but I make my own root beer , After I soak the roots and root bark , and strain, I put it in the fridge and the next day a yellowish waxy/fatty stuff congelis on and around the surface .

It's very tasty but not psycoactive (at least not in small sane doses)

That's probably;y going to be rather pricey but it could work. The root bark should have ~1-3% sass oil which is like 70-80% safrole. So anywhere from like 1.5g to 5g from a hp if I'm doing my math right.

I was always curious about this because I have many sassafras trees and an unlimited amount of root/bark. I have like 50 lbs of it in my basement right now. I just use it to make sassafras tea, but can I do more with it Canndo/MrEDuck? Isn't it pretty tough to process it?

You have to know a few things and need some equipment. Duck? 5 grams 34 bucks? Hell.

Alright I think I'll just stick to sassy tea haha. Basic extractions are no problem, but once the chemistry gets advanced I lose confidence.

To set up shop you need a fair amount of knowledge. Steam distillation takes awhile and uses a lot of energy. Then you need to fractionally distill that oil to get safrole which can beturned into MDMA by several routes.
Canndo 5g is on the high end of yield there so I wouldn't bank on it. At that price its still probably cheaper than importing <100g if you have the equipment.

If it weren't for the sake of privacy, I would just mail you as much root as you wanted. I'm not doing anything with it but making a gallon of tea every now and then which takes a tiny piece. Maybe I'll start an eBay store haha. It actually is pretty cheap on eBay after looking it up.

I don't know enough about P2P meth to critique Fester, but don't listen to the man otherwise. He talks about making enantiomerically pure MDMA like it's a good thing.
