You want to do some kind of solvent or C02 extraction...

Doing a water extraction does not get out a lot of the important secondary compounds that activate the main compounds.

This is why if you make tea, it is MUCH stronger if you take a LITTLE bit of raw powder with your tea... the secondaries activate the main compounds in the tea.

What purity or kind of extract do you want to have? There are several different extracts one can obtain by different means.
I don't think CO2 extractions are suitable as first-time lab practice, better try an acid/base, which is the most classic one for alkaloids and therefore the best "allrounder" for all kinds of psychoactive substances, if they have an amino moiety.

CosmicLion, do you have a source for this? What do you mean by "secondary compounds"?
