SWIM is currently doing some tests with San Pedro. He’s freebased the San Pedro in wet calcium hydroxide and then extracted the mescaline into d-limonene. He’s experimenting with various methods of salting the mescaline out of the d-limonene. Right now he’s playing about with vinegar to salt out mescaline acetate.
Vinegar salts out mescaline acetate from mescaline freebase in d-limonene pretty well, and does so with cleaner results than hydrochloric acid.
With hydrochloric acid you get a dark brown sticky material that is about 60% pure mescaline acetate, but its easily cleaned up to about 95% pure mescaline by washing off the brown sticky material in acetone.
The straight vinegar salting produces mescaline acetate that is about 90% pure.
I’ve heard that acetone washes away the mescaline acetate along with the impurities and so it shouldn’t be used to clean up mescaline acetate. SWIM hasn’t tried acetone yet to see if that’s true of just faulty internet info.
Is there a good method for cleaning up mescaline acetate? If so, is there one that is non-toxic?
