As I'm sure many others do, I have accumulated a large number of filters leftover from past extraction, and due to the fact that they absolutely reek of tryptamines, I just can't bring myself to throw them away. I have thought about trying to use one as a cigarette paper or blunt wrap, but being a scientific-minded person, I am not extremely fond of the idea of smoking a completely unknown dose. Would it be possible to perform a mini-extraction on these filters to retrieve all or most of the trapped alkaloids? I have tried just soaking them in warm NAPHTHA, but I had trouble wringing all the solvent out so I could only retrieve a small amount of the DMT and they still smelled strongly of alkaloids when dried. I was thinking something along these lines:
-Shred filters
-Soak filter shreds in pH 4 aqueous solution
-Remove paper shreds
-Basify solution with NaOH
-Pull with warm NAPHTHA
-Evaporate or freeze-precipitate
My only concern is the possibility of the filters degrading and leaving tiny fibers in my solution. Any other ideas as to why this might not work?
