Attempted extraction of LSA

Migrated topic.

Well, SWIM tried to extract some LSA last night, he didn't have naphtha or ethanol/methanol so he used rubbing alcohol 70%.

He crushed up the seeds, mixed them with rubbing alcohol and let sit. He then added baking soda to raise the ph, at an attempt to break apart the molecules. He then tried filtering the mush through a coffee filter, but the filter wouldn't let anything through. The liquid just sat on top of the filter. He used a strainer and got some seed mush. He threw that in a bowl and let it evaporate.

6 hours later, still alot of rubbing alcohol, though there was considerable white crystal/particles at the bottom, when he moved the dish they moved with the alcohol, so he is still unsure if that was in fact lsa crystal.

He ended up pouring it out because he didn't want to wait any longer. Next time he'll try using ethanol.
