Acid-Base extraction. a beautiful thing. be sure you add a little tartaric acid to the water though, preferably a bit above the pKa of LSA. the alkaloid (good stuff) will convert to the tartrate form, which is only soluble in water (and other polar solvents) unless the alkaloids are in freebase form (theyre in tartrate) they wont dissolve in the oil (nonpolar), which will dissolve lots of plant oils and ergoclavines. magic. separate, evaporate, enjoy. or couple with diethylamine.
