Non toxic food safe extraction of mescaline using d-limonene (orange oil)

69ron, would SWIY say a pH of 6.5 is alkaline enough to extract freebase mescaline? the 25g lime + 300ml water + 100g cactus powder has a pH of around 8 or 9 but the d-limonene seems to push it closer to neutral..
25G lime and 100G cactus is perfect every time.
This tek made me the best summers day ever. I didn't even get laid, but it was that good. Me and my friend made really good friends with a horse. Then he snorted and we ran for our lives, until we realised how funny it was.
I had the weirdest sensation! It was quite a sunny day and as I walk my arms swing (naturally) and it was almost as if I had the physical sensation of the sun on my elbow in a different position to the current sensation of my physical arm. Odd sensation, but pleasant. Also I swallowed my own throat... 400mg + 5 datura seeds and 2 cans of red bull. Good combo

its pH paper.. tested it multiple times. perhaps the d-limonene solution is more acidic than yours? it is 95% pure food grade.

Did you pH check the cactus mix before adding D-limonene? Chances are you are only pH testing the D-Limonene as everything else is held by water which the D-limonene has covered up.
I really wouldn't worry about this. Especially as 95% limonene is very good for this tek.

A friend of mine just did his first pulls last night using this tek.He had a few questions.
What is the vinegar supposed to look like after the pulls and its in the dish? My friends is just clear with with a faint oily look to it.He ate 10gms of his cacti powder last night and is still feeling it so he knows it is good,but the vinegar in the dish just dosnt look like much.
Also,in the tek when it says to let the lemonene and cacti sit for a few hours, exactly how many hours is best.His first soak was only two hours,his second is going on ten hours.
Sorry if none of this makes sense.My friend is still a little mesced up right now.:d But hes worried he may have wasted 100gms of good cacti.

Hey man,
I wouldn't worry too much, my vinegar was pretty damn clear as well and that doesn't seem to have affected the yield with my first extraction with 100g of cactus.
Also personally I leave each limonene pull to soak overnight before extracting the following day, after reading earlier on the thread that the mesc can take a while to extract. That's just me though, but can't hurt.

I leave for 24 hours minimum. Shorter soaks seem to take longer. Once you have doen one long soak, then future soaks wont need as long as much of the alkaloids will be in excess limonene that was left in the mix after the first seperation.

Could the hydrated lime be substituted with somthing else. I cant find it anywhere.

would this work 100grams of cactus mixed with 100grams of lye and one liter of water which would make a sludge then add a half liter of water and anothet 50 grams of lye. Then add the limonene.Seperate limonene. Then add vinegar to the limo then evap vinegar.

So there is nothing I can replace it with?69ron said:

Not that I know of. Calcium hydroxide is very unique in that it's almost insoluble in water so it makes the cactus mix less sticky. It also forms some insoluble byproducts that would be made soluble if any other base was used.
SWIM tried other bases initially, and all of them made a giant ball of cactus goo that was almost impossible to extract from.

69Ron,
Allow me to use my first post to thank you for sharing this tek. After choking down snot tea a couple times I was ready to give up on cacti as I wasn't interested in the complicated and nasty chemical extraction teks posted elsewhere. Then I stumbled upon your tek and it seemed too good to be true: a simple tek that uses food-safe, easily obtainable materials that produces high yields? This I gotta try!
After lurking here a couple weeks soaking up every bit of info I could find and gathering materials, I gave it a whirl. Sure enough, the results gave me a very happy weekend! My yield was pretty low, about 500mg from 100g of San Pedro, but I blame that on my inexperience and lousy oil (while waiting for my limonene I bought and used Pure Citrus air freshener instead). But even a 500mg ball of resin is infinitely better than cactus juice!! :lol:
Anyway, this is just the beginning of a fun new hobby and I have you to thank for it. I look forward to sharing my experiences and ideas here as I continue my journey....
