Mescaline Extraction Technique.

This is an excellent extraction technique. It does not require a settling flask and is
written step by step in simple recipe style. This was written for the convenience of
people who do not understand chemistry. All steps have the sole purpose of extracting
mescaline and transforming it into mescaline hcl.

Things you need:

1.At least 2 glass or HDPE containers (they have a recycling triangle drawn with the
symbol 2 inside and it usually appears at the bottom of the container. HDPE is
preferable because strong soda solutions etch the glass and could eventually cause it to
break.

2.Soda (Sodium hydroxide)

3.Muriatic acid (HCL or hydrochloric acid)

4.Acetone

5.Xylene.

6.Large knob (can be replaced with a syringe)

7.A glass or stainless steel funnel

8. Cotton balls.

All items are easy to get (do not use ANY aluminum)

You should not use any type of open flame during any step in this extraction. Always
use adequate ventilation.

Preparing your cactus.

You will need to start with dry powdered cactus, if you can. You can also dry slices of
the cactus in the oven on low heat and then use a coffee grinder to powder it.

NOTE: I have experience of a severe reaction when breathing the dust, pain above my
nose for a week or two. I would suggest wearing a mask to prevent it from being
inhaled. I have also noticed eye irritation if the dust comes into contact with them. Be
careful.

Extracting.
Prepare a soda water solution, slowly mixing together 15 milliliters of soda per 473 ml
(32 ml/Liter) of cold water, prepare what you will need to completely cover the dry
cactus powder. This will produce a little heat so don't be alarmed. Stir, when you slowly
add the soda little by little. This is what I will refer to as basic water. Then we add the
dry cactus powder.

We mix the contents well to ensure that you expose all the powder to the basic water.

Now add about 473ml or so of Xylene to the mixture. You will need a wide layer of
Xylene that you can later remove with the large knob. Shake it all up and let it sit for an
hour. This is what will appear right after you shake it.

After an hour you can see that the Xylene layer is separating and they are slowly
removed, if not, add some pre-made basic water and check it again. Now shake it, put it
away and put it away for 24 hours (full 24 hours).
This is after three hours.

24 hours later, you remove the Xylene, you will need to use the large bulb (or syringe)
to aspirate it and put it in a new jar (a drum works great). Be careful not to draw the
water out from under the Xylene with it.

And put the Xylene in their drums to make mescaline salt.

Make mescaline salt.
Now you need to mix acidic water to dilute it to the appropriate strength you need. Be
very careful not to breathe the vapors that come out of the bottle when you open it. HCL
is very strong and will burn you.

You will need to add approximately 4-8 drops of hydrochloric acid to 1.5 cups of water.
Slowly add this acidic water to the Xylene while gently stirring the liquids in the jar.
Add enough to make a layer about a centimeter or so under the Xylene.

Don't worry if you don't get all the alkaloids, because the Xylene goes back into the
extraction bottle later and you will get others that you didn't extract before. Put the lid
on the jar and shake it. Wait a few minutes and shake again.

Once it has fully returned to a separate state, loosen the lid of the jar and place it in the
freezer. The acidic water layer (the bottom one) will now freeze solid. Xylene will not
freeze. Once the water freezes, work quickly and pour the Xylene back into the
extraction bottle.

With the solid still frozen in the water, pour in a little hot water, stir and discard
quickly. This helps to rid it of a little more residual Xylene. The rest will evaporate
later.

Repeat the extraction and salt-making steps 4 to 6 times to get all the alkaloids. You can
reuse Xylene repeatedly, over and over again.

Evaporation
Now defrost the water (acidic) outside and put it on a plate to evaporate . A large flat
pyrex plate works best. Using an electric blanket (under the plate) or not, and/or dry fan,
to evaporate the water from the plate faster. This may take some time depending on
how much water you used.

Once this is all dry, you will see a crystalline residue left on the plate.

In these demo images, I made a mistake that can happen to you too. On the right side of
the plate you can see a huge brown stain. This happened because I used too much
hydrochloric acid in the salt-making step. This, however, is not a big problem. It will all
be gone after the cleaning step, plus much of the hydrochloric acid evaporates with the
water. You can even avoid some of the coloration by evaporating more slowly, giving
the hydrochloric acid more time to evaporate.

Scrape it with a cutter. Mescaline hcl will be a brownish white powder.

This is the first scrape of salt. It turned out actually much better than I normally expect.
It can be used now, but the following procedure is simple and will give us much better
quality Mescaline hcl.

Cleaning
Put a cotton ball at the end of your funnel, so that it can filter.

Mix some acetone with your extracted alkaloids. I use a jar that I can remove easily.
You need to get every molecule of mescaline washed with the acetone, so mix it well.

Then pour it into the funnel with a clean dry jar to catch the liquids. Use acetone to
wash away the remains, which remain in the jar and funnel.

You will notice a certain color when draining the acetone. Wash with fresh acetone until
no longer draining with color. Put the funnel somewhere to dry.

Once all the acetone smell is gone from the funnel, you need to pour some hot water
into it, with it placed over the evaporation plate. The hot water will dissolve the crystals
and allow them to pass through the cotton to the plate.

Evaporate as before. The resulting crystals will be considerably whiter and purer. This
is not only for aesthetics, it is also for more exact dosage.
You can put this powder into capsules, to facilitate simpler dosing, with pre-measured
amounts in each capsule.
