69ron, you say bufotenine is insoluble in naphtha. So SWIM did a 1:6 acetone to naphtha extraction and boiled the acetone off to get a milky naphtha liquid. Shouldn't the bufo crash out of the naphtha since you say it's insoluble in it? Should SWIM put the milky naphtha in his fridge or freezer to find out? Or should SWIM let it evap. overnight? SWIY got a milky heptane when he did this, did SWIM let that evap. or did he find that it would crash out? Or is bufo soluble in heptane? Thanks.


 
Edit: I am unsure, so I removed my comment.

It is dangerous without proper ventilation, and you have to be sure there are no ignition sources nearby (including brushed motors and other things you might not ordinarily consider).
