After SWIM read so much about LSA and possible extractions, nonpolar, and polar solvents, lsa solubility and the like, SWIM has decided to try his own extraction, to see what comes out of it.
SWIM knows the best chemicals for this extraction would be Reagent grade petroleum ether(nonpolar solvent) and pure ethanol(polar solvent).
Although SWIM does not have access to these chemicals, SWIM has procurred other working, but not as good, chemicals.
Ingredients:
Morning glory/HBWR seeds
Acetone
high proof vodka
coffee filter
2 clean jars with tight-fitting lids
pie plate
Syringe
Swim has bought himself a litre of 99% pure Acetone from his local wal-mart. (Recochem acetone), and a bottle of extra strength vodka from the local liquor store(prince igor extreme vodka) which is 45% pure ethanol. Swim also has a quantity of methanol(recochem blue flame fondue fuel) bought from his local sobeys, but is afraid of its poisonous and toxic effects(blindness and carcinogenic properties). Although methanol is more effective at being a polar solvent, he uses the vodka as it is way less toxic.
Now supposedly acetone works good at being a nonpolar solvent by ripping out the nasties and bad chemicals, it also has been known to destroy some LSA's, and Swim fears this. SWIM also fears if there is any amount of acetone left in the solution, it will make him sick.
Now SWIM's tek is as follows:
Swim took a healthy amount of Rivea Corymbosa(morning glories from black hat botanicals), which was about half his supply(500) and used a blender to grind them to a powder. SWIM then took his powder, and put it into a small glass jar, and covered it with just a small amount of acetone(just enough to completely cover the powder). Swim then capped the jar, and shook it to mix the acetone and seed powder. Swim shook for a good 20-30 minutes, as he did not want to "pre-rinse" his seeds for too long, fearing that the LSA might be destroyed.
Swim then took a coffe filter, placed it in a funnel and poured the contents of jar #1 into empty and clean jar #2. SWIM noticed the acetone had a slight whitish swirl in it, and knowing it pulled out something(hopefully bad) from the seeds. Swim will keep the used acetone, as it is still plenty good for more rinses.
SWIM spread out the coffee filter(still containing the seed mush) on a pie plate, and let evaporate the acetone until there was no more acetone smell. Acetone evaps quickly, and SWIM liked that.
SWIM now places the seed mush into jar #1(thoroughly cleaned out) and places 3 ounces(100 ml) of vodka over the seed powder. Caps the jar, shakes, and places in a dark area, as light destroys LSA's.
It is now day two, and after shaking whenever SWIM thought of it, SWIM notices the vodka mixture is turning brown. SWIM has heard that good LSA extractions turn yellow, and fears that a quick 20 minute acetone rinse was not as effective as SWIM would have liked.
SWIM's mixture of 500 seeds, to 100 ml of vodka, means that 1 ml of vodka would contain about 4-5 morning glories. SWIM would account that the extraction process destroyed the LSA content of about 50 seeds, so SWIM would say it was an extraction of 450 seeds total.
SWIM has tried, recently, a water extraction of 30 morning glories, and one HBWR seed, with no nausea, no ill effects. Only a clear mild high, very, very mild visuals. More of a spiritual thing, SWIM would say. Mild empathy would describe it best. Swim will try a double dose (60 morning glories and 2 HBWR seeds) and note its effects. SWIM likes this water extraction technique. SWIM has had LSA journeys before, and very interesting ones at that.
SWIMS best journey was a combination of morning glory, acorus calamus root, and kava kava all powdered and put into gelcaps. 6 of these caps leave SWIM feeling very psychadelic, and wondrous. Was by far, SWIM's best psychedelic adventure(yet SWIM has never tried LSD, nor mushrooms yet) Only has SWIM tried amanita muscaria, LSA, Calea zacatachichi, and salvia.
SWIM will keep posting as the process unfolds, and will post the effects from his extraction tek. Hopefully it will not make SWIM ill.
SWIM also would like to extract mescaline from san pedro, SWIM has about 3 feet of cactus. Although SWIM cannot find himself some Norite or Benzene..
SWIM has tripped on 6 inches of such cactus, but with mild threshhold effects. Swim would love a full blown mescaline journey, with a foot or so of cactus.
