Non toxic, food safe extraction of mescaline and related alkaloids

This idea was started by 69ron over at the DMTnexus. For original tek see here- http://wiki.dmt-nexus.com/69ron%27s_D-Limonene_Mescaline_Extraction
I am also combining the mescaline salting using carbonated water (carbonic acid, mescaline carbonate) here- http://www.dmt-nexus.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=6310

Materials-

1 gal milk jug to make carbonate salts in
1 one qt Mason jar to make acetate salts in
Evaporation dish
Funnel (I used 2L bottle neck.)
Coffee filters, 3 or so
Plastic milk jug or similar HDPE or PP5 container - not polystyrene
100 grams cactus powder (can be Achuma, pedro or torch)
25 grams calcium hydroxide
900mL d-limonene
300mL water
3L Carbonated water

It uses all food safe ingredients for the extraction and salting of the alkaloids. Calcium hydroxide can be bought at most W****** stores and d-limonene is sold as orange oil, might have to call around to find some.

I started with 200g powdered trich. bridgesii cactus.





I added 50g calcium hydroxide and 1200mL water. (The tek only calls for 600mL h20, and this was kind of a stupid mistake on my part, it SAYS that your yield is reduced when you add too much water, but I have pulled 1.7% already I think it would be easier to work with if you only add 600 though.) When you add the 600mL of water to 200g of cactus it will seem wet, but not watery. Looks like bread dough or something. Mine does not illustrate this, but here is the picture I have.






Pull One:


Add 600mL of d-limonene to cactus mixture and let it sit for about 6 hours. Decant the d-limonene from the top of the cactus and add 50mL of standard food grade 5% vinegar.





Decanted limonene into separate 1g milk jug. At this point I evaporated the first vinegar salting to see what would be yielded and it was this-





After this I salted the limonene with vinegar two more times, then added the carbonated water. Picture below. When you add the carbonated water, shake it several times, but be sure to release the pressure or the lid will shoot off. First pull yielded 2.1g of waxy crystalline substance.










Pull Two:


Add another 600 mL of limonene to the top of the cactus. You can remove this in several hours, but I let mine sit for several days, and a very wicked third layer formed.





I added 10g more base and put it in a hot water bath at this point and the layer seemed to become more well defined, allowing me to separate the second limonene pull.





Salted second pull with vinegar twice and carbonated water, then evaporated to yield 1.3 g waxy crystalline substance.




So far I have yielded 3.4g of acetate and carbonate salts, or 1.7% and that is just from the first two pulls.

My third pull is in the carbonate salting step right now, As soon as it is finished I will update this thread.

If you have any questions, Feel Free to ask!

Your odds of finding peyote by wondering around in the desert are slim. Beyond that, one button will not do the trick but if you find one you may well find more in the same area - don't count on it though. I've gone to areas known to have contained peyote with people who knew what they were doing at a time when they had not yet been hunted to near extinction and we found nothing.

Please please please do not go out peyote hunting. They're endangered in the wild and there are other ways to get mescaline.

I wont Take it out of nature because they are endangered. Im going to start a batch of mushrooms and thinking about ordering some peyote seeds. 10 years is just such a long time but such is life. Wish i could find a sheet of blotter but that seems to be nearly imposible with me being such a hermit these days.

hey man, that peyote shit is no joke, i got a some from amsterdam and brought it home and it shook me up, i took loads of lsd and shrooms in my time but that shit will put you away if ur not carefull

if i remember right the guy said take orange juice and sugar to come down asap, i lasted bout 2 hours lol, i think it can go for 24 hours

they sell them in europe you might be able to have one of them companys ship peyote I know I saw a site that was selling them they are endangered but theres a way to cut them that they grow back

It's hard to cut them right without practice.

Out of all my experience with entheogens, mescaline is the only big one I never got around to try yet. A friend of mine and I have sort of an unoffical agreement that I grow the mushrooms, and he does our dmt extractions. I think if I buy the stuff he would do it for us. He's gotten crazy good at doing the dmt extractions, so I think he would be able to do it without much trouble.
