Id really love to try mescaline, i made a thread before where Phlux mentioned that he considered mesc the most purifying entheogen which originally sparked my interest (other than the simpsons movie!) so id like to get an extraction going at some point. I'd like to end up with the highest purity to go beyond all the plant material, as i hear the purge is nasty. Any advice on where to start? I read 69ron's tek but there must be alternatives?

SWIM is in the middle of a bridgesii extraction at the moment, just working though his old cactus before his 4ft of bridgesii arrive. Swim's going the d-limo/ron route, but has made a few modifications. First, he did not boil his tea, just did long soaks starting with boiling water acidified with fumaric acid in tall glass bottles. Let them decant, and a few days later pour off and reduce on low heat. No boiling at all. Then he filtered his reduced tea (approx 1c for 20g dry cactus and approx 3" fresh) with a 101 filter paper with his vac. apparatus. This cleared it up immensely, turned a clear golden piss color.
Then it was all evaped down to a resin, a light tan resin that sparkles with crystals and looks much better than brown crappy resin he as made before. From here, swim is going to mix the resin into some water and lime, let it dry, add mgso4 to be safe, grind, and then dump powder into some d-limo. He's thinking max surface area, and no water will be max efficiency. Then it will be a fumaric acid water salting, and a dry acetone wash to finish things up. He's done this route before, but failed bigtime when his glass jar with the cactus powder/dlimo broke on him. Still was able to salvage some limo and got some mesky out of it, but feels like alot was lost due to this stupid mistake.
He will try to remember to post his yeilds and thoughts on how the extraction went when he's done.

Cheers, sounds like a lot of fun, i really need to get back into extracting

I've been consistently getting very clean white mescaline HCl using 69r0n's mescaline HCl tech. But instead of using D-limo or xylene I use toluene. As long as I'm careful and decant and filter cleanly, evaporating off a very clear colorless solution, I get almost white if not white mescaline every time. A couple acetone washes and its pure white!
Here's a picture of a latter pull (probably the 5th or 6th pull after it was sitting around for a few weeks) using old dark green toluene:
