So after SWIM has used a STB tek and done all the naptha pulls out of a basified solution with 200 gms mimosa, how much "jungle spice" could SWIM conceivably get from a xylene extraction?

One more ? for you fine folks........... Can someone explain (or shoot a link) on the process of redissolving the jungle spice in non-denatured alcohol to get rid of any lingering xylene? Is there anything more than just soaking it in the alcohol and pouring it back through a coffee filter to re-evaporate? Also, how much alcohol would SWIM need to use say per gm. of jungle?

Thanks-shmoof (a figment of my fractured imagination)

Thats about all there is to it, use a minimal amount of solvent to dissolve whatever SWIM wants to dissolve and then evaporate said solvent to receive nearly pure product. It helps to heat the solvent first and mix well with mechanical agitation, then while solvent is still hot, pour it off, filter it if SWIM need to. If SWIM is really paranoid, do 2 solvent pulls just to be sure to get most of the alkaloids. Combine solvent in small evap tray (SWIM likes to tilt his evap trays to get all solvent on one side.) and evap.

All spice is HIGHLY SOLUBLE in ethanol. Swim has cleaned many jars with less then 500mL of pure HOT ethanol and evap'ed into grams of spice. So in short, not much.

I have only heard the term jungle spice today while reading the forums. From what I have gathered there seems to be no deffanate answer as to what all jungle spice is... basicly SWIM is wondering if its worth the time and money to invest in some xylene and pull the remaining dmt and other alkoliods. SWIM is interested in geting all the precious dmt but what he really wants to know are the other alkaloids.. "usefull" and in what ways? a link would be appreciated or quick summery.
