Just to make things clear, you're speaking about C. paspali now, not C. purpurea like OP?

good for isolating ergokryptine and ergocristine .
Itwitchy said:The ole jail house acid bit... Reminds me of an unpleasant experience I had in my adolescent psychedelic fervor involving some orange peels and rye bread. Claviceps purpurea is poisonous. Unless you actually isolate the LSD (not LSA), it's actually pretty dangerous as there's a whole bunch of other really nasty alkaloids in there, and ergotism is no joke. If things went bad, gangrenous extremities would be the least of your problems as it only happens if you live through the other symptoms. I could be wrong, but this actually sounds kind of dangerous to me.

I wish I had a better understanding of chemistry. It seems like an interesting hobby, but I didn't have the patience to learn it in school. There are probably good sites online for learning it now.
For the rye grain you need "feed rye", right? Rye grass seed isn't the same thing, and even if it is it would likely be treated with ag chemicals.
You mentioned adding a loaf of rye bread and some oranges. I get that oranges have citric acid (or something special about them), but what is the loaf of bread for?
Thanks for the interesting introduction post. (I'd like to hear others chime in about whether it's safe or not.)
Peace,

???
Are we talking about Claviceps purpurea? As this one doesn't have Ergine in it.
If you don't have a real one modify a bike tire to attach the test tubes to the bicycle spokes and crank the pedals by hand with the bicycle on its side for a few hours and the lsa will filTer through the seed husk into the cotton where you can draw it out with a needle and syringe.
Then do either an ether wash or grain alcohol and allow to evaporate after a defat.
Did you really do that yourself?
Silver has a weird property in a microwave.
It stays cold to the touch but 4 to 5 inch blue lightning arches across it's surface with no harm to the microwave.
That's the behavior of any electric conducting material in a microwave.
The powers that be want people to think ergotamine is a mythical substance that's impossible to aquire.....
Why are you now suddenly talking about ergotamine, and not ergine?
Sure you can synth ergine from ergotamine, but that is an additional effort.
I'm all in all a bit puzzled, as some things don't add up for me. Did you really try that yourself, and got LSA/Ergine? That seems very unlikely to me, at least if we are talking about C. purpurea.
Also be aware that there are different genetic chemotypes of C. purpurea. Some contain mainly ergotoxines, some also additionally ergotamines, and some mainly ergopeptams. The geolocation seems to be directly linked to the chemotypes. So in a certain location, you find a certain chemotype. This already Hofmann discovered.

Lol, there's no LSD in it, which you can isolate...
benzyme said:C.p. produces paspalic acid, LSA, and LSH (good luck isolating the latter), as well as several loline alks.
Depending on the age of the submerged culture, you may also pull chanoclavine I and II, and elymoclavine.
Ferrum said:Now that would be good for most folks considering its on Dallas grass and Dallas grass grows everywhere almost and even in cities where as hunting for a spur in a remote field could look queer . Paspali is almost everywhere on that species and is easy to isolate on agar too .
I am experienced in working with c pas....I have gotten it to produce alot of exotic alkaloids by feeding it aldehydes, and various tryptamine analogs as well as tryptophan both under submerged fermentation and solid state...I need another genetic sample....I left my cultures at a friend's house and they tried to steal a wedge and ruined them...I'd love to aquire another genetic sample...if u need any help with that I know how to work with it....it's a great thing to use for alchemy experimentsbenzyme said:way ahead of ya..
but the issue isn't isolating a specimen, it's mutating it to activate dMAW, the gene expressing the first enzyme in the DMAT pathway.
twitchy said:Not sure what the 'LOL' is all about, but ergot is derived from the fungus Claviceps purpurea, no? Naturally it follows that LSD is an alkaloid of Ergot, or least it was the last time I checked so I'm not sure why you seem amused by this.

Ergonovine goes by a number of different names (ergometrine, ergotocine, ergosterine, ergobasine), owing to the fact that it was discovered in four different laboratories almost simultaneously. In Europe, the names ergometrine and ergobasine have persisted, whereas ergonovine was adopted in the United States
Regardless, it's pretty dangerous to fool around with ingesting spun off material from moldy grains is the point I was trying to convey.
