Cleaning MDMA

Just wondering if there is any chance of cleaning MDMA that has been cut with salt. Tis a horrible day
.I hope somebody can help me, they are both water soluable as fuck so I have a feeling that I am fucked.

dissolve both in water, basify with NaOH, and extract with nonpolar solvent
evaporate solvent and then acidify with appropriate acid
evaporate water to yield salt

muriatic acid will do right? after extraction with non polar solvent, you say to evaporate the water. you mean evaporate the acid right? sorry if this sounds stupid.

can you give me an idea of where to acquire a nonpolar solvent by use of retail stores? I could order some but if i can find some of relatively good purity locally then my problem might be rectified much faster. Thanks very much in advance.

It's entirely possible to get basic lab supplies from ebay.
If you're bombing or plugging then it shouldn't be a problem, I'd be much more worried about solvent contaminants from low-grade solvents than NaCl personally.
I'd go for diethyl ether because of its much lower boiling point and toxicity, but this comes with a much higher flammability/ vapour inhalation risk.
Assuming you used ether, your procedure would be along the lines of:
Dissolve mixture A (1g) in water (100mls) and add NaOH while stirring until pH is above ~10.5.
Add ether (20mls), shake, allow to separate and collect ether layer, which will float on top.
Repeat this step three times, collecting the ether each time. (So you have 60mls!)
Allow the ether to evaporate. The oil/powder remaining will consist of alkaloids [MDMA and other active cuts].
Dissolve with muriatic (-_-) acid (10-20mls 15% ) and allow the water to evaporate [HCl will go with it] to leave powdered MDMA.HCl
If you want, you can acidify and evaporate the water you left behind to give the NaCl, which might have a tiny bit of MDMA in it, but it's not really worthwhile.
