Hmm, as a newly minted member of the Church of Harmala light, this looks purty cool. Being as pretty unskilled (al)chemist, extracting harmalas looks rather daunting to me, not to mention the lack of a kitchen.
Have to check this out.
I'm not advertising squat, in fact chances are its all BS, but these guys have coleus, datura, blue lotus, on and on e juices. Do your own search darnit:thumb_up:
I just completed and tested my first harmala extraction.
Basic procedure:
acid boil powdered seeds x3
reduce
Filter, filter, filter
Basify with lye till no more colour change
settle
decant and filter, keeping solids
return to acid/vinegar hot water
filter keeping liquid
basify with sodium carbonate
settle and filter keeping solids
dry
I got 1.4g from 50g of seeds and it turned out very slightly off white coloured, light fluffy powder.
Made changa with it. Worked great
