Has anyone found a natural tek or method for extracting cinnamolaurine/ other possible psychoactive alkoloids from sassafras? I've had a bit of help from the community in the past, however nothing concrete. I'd really like to experience the beauty of this plants spirit as our ancestors did. I know I must remove the safrole as it is non psychoactive, however the only method I have been able to find is washing it with MEK.. which is not natural. Once it's removed I'd think the extraction should be simple.. an a/b maybe? If anyone can help me I would be so very thankful

Use acetone? Make sure it's really anhydrous though.
Acetone occurs in the human body and is therefore natural.
More usefully, there's good reason to believe that steam distillation of the root will effectively separate the safrole from the (water soluble) alkaloids. Not sure how heat sensitive the alkaloids are but the steam should keep most of the oxygen out.
