I did it without a professional lab, just the right tools. It doesn't even take hours to do.
remember: can't never could.

you won't get pure crystals using everclear, or any alcohol for that matter, because
alcohol pulls other fungal compounds along with the alkaloids. if you want to purify them, you'd need to elute them through a column of silica, using ethyl acetate, 1-butanol, and chloroform.
