My dog ran into one of my larger Pachanoi the other day, knocking two 3 foot pups off and thankfully not injuring herself. At first I was a little sad as the the plant has branched out magnificently, but there are another 10 or 11 branches and its over 2 metres tall so I quickly got over it and realised that there is really only one thing to be done.

I haven't had any mescaline in over a year. I have trouble making space in my busy existence. However It seems I no longer find the time but the time is found for me.

Dried, powdered then STB with Ca(OH)2, left for a few weeks (due to other commitments) and pulled with limonene, sulfate salts.

See you on the other side!

Great philosophy/attitude, and with tremendous results. Thanks for sharing the pic. Bon voyage!

Very nice!

I wonder if basing for that long will help my results with limonene.

I like dis.

awesome!

the easiest way to get crystals like that is some form of 2 solvent crashing/crystallization

Sulfate salts look amazing! Nice job

:surprised Holy mother of succulents that was awesome....

What specific tek did you use to get such beautiful xtals?

I just used Rons method to start however I don't really measure anything, I just go by what my ph meter tells me and the consistency of the initial mix. One thing to note is that lime does take a little longer to freebase things so I think the time I allowed it to sit was beneficial. The mescaline is not as accessible straight away as it might be if you use an initial water extraction and basify from there. You need to allow some time for things to slake a little.

Then as DG said (and as he has been saying now for years!) use a ph meter and some dilute sulphuric acid. I use a stir plate and throw some water into the flask with the solvent, add the acid drop wise as you check the ph. You get a feel for how much acid you need. In this instance I must have added 10 drops while mixing and the PH was still above 9, this is when you start feeling happy! keep going drop by drop, mixing mixing until you hit 7, toward the end you may have a few drops that send you to 5 or 6 but some mixing usually makes the solution climb back up to 7. If it climbs higher than 7 then add a teeny tiny bit more acid and mix. Stable at 7 is what your after.

Then reduce your saltings and mix with acetone, this mixture usually crashes instantly for me but popping it in the freezer overnight definitely forms more solid crystals.

My accurate scales were out of juice so I don't really know how much there was, but my inaccurate scales were hovering around 800-950mg.

As House would say in this situation, eat it all!

I should try this soon.

Has anyone tried to use citric acid to form Mescaline Citrate then pull with acetone and precipitate, or would that not work?

no, would not work that way
