Me too.

I like the carbonated water idea too. That's also food grade. It's possible that using carbonate water will yield a cleaner product than either vinegar or HCl. The reason is that the carbonic acid in carbonated water is a very weak acid and only able to salt strong bases. Mescaline is a strong enough base to form a salt with it. The other alkaloids might not be. It’s my understanding that quite a bit of alkaloids will not form carbonates because they are not strong enough bases, but they would form acetates or hydrochlorides.

If carbonated water helps cut down the impurities then it’s a great improvement on the tech.

Also, what are the solubilities of mescaline carbonate? Is it soluble in alcohol? If not, you could maybe clean it using food grade alcohol.

There’s another thread for this carbonated water idea found here. I won’t talk much more about it in this thread. It would be great to develop a complete tech using D-limonene and carbonated water. Some people HATE the smell of vinegar, and mescaline acetate is hard to clean, leaving you with a sticky extract. The non-mescaline alkaloids are the cause of most of the stickiness. Pure mescaline acetate is white and has a DMT-like waxy texture.
