A friend of mine was recently trying to extract some mescaline from peruvian torch cactus. He used a mixture of teks.
1. Obtained 4oz (113 grams) of powderized peruvian torch flesh (no core, no spines).
2. Pulled with 95% ethanol until the ethanol ran clear.
3. evaporated the ethanol to leave a dark green residue.
He then wanted to obtain pure alkaloid, for safe dose control, and could not find a way to do that with the residue from the ethanol extract, so he followed 69rons limonene tek at this link.

This involved:
4. Adding hydrated lime and water to the resin from the ethanol extraction.
5. Adding d-limonene
6. Separating the d-limonene
7. Adding vinegar
8. separating off the amber colored vinegar
9. evaporating rge vinegar to leave an amber resin
10. Washing in MEK
11. Evaporating the MEK
Steps 5 - 6 were repeated twice, and steps 7 - 8 were repreated several times per limonene pull.
The final result is shown below:
Note that this is 1/4 of a cup of what he expected to be pure mescaline acetate. He told me that it weighed 35 grams, which he thinks this is a ludicrous amount of mescaline - the dried flesh would have to be 1/3 mescaline by weight. Therefore, this product has to contain significant impurities.
His guess is that the most significant impurity would be the slaked lime. If so, how should he go about extracting the mescaline acetate from the lime. Would redisolving in vinegar and filtering do the trick? Or will the lime disolve in vinegar? Please help him out.
Thanks.
