i just wanted to check if any of you folks has tried this>
1. Extract the cactus with pure ethanol 4-5 times (just soak the cactus powder for 1 day for each pull)
2. Evaporate the alcohol, now one is left with a green/black goo containing all the goodies from the cactus.
3. The good part; mescaline salts (i.e. the way it is inside the plant) is insoluble in acetone. So, get the goo and wash it with acetone 5, 6, 7 times. One will be left with a rocky brownish precipitate, presumably mescaline salt. This substance when dried off the acetone became gooey (quite hygroscopic ) but upon total drying it got rock hard.
-- this seems like a way more easy and non toxic approach to extract mescaline from cactus material.
a friend has 350g very high grade dried peruvian torch sitting around but tries to find different ways of extracting it because the usual ways of extracting mescaline all use very toxic solvents and take up a lot of time. that friend is also afraid of filtering the slime out, which is supposed to be a real pain in the ass.
any one got any other ideas? my friend doesn't really need great purity.. a crude extract would be fine so he won't have to gobble down all that slimy cactus.
