A lot of on the net.after some boiling suggest acid/base extr.never do it myself.just consume dried skin
If you want fairly pure alkaloids…
Extracting into vinegar for a couple pulls then pool those together and evaporate to yield a crude extract. Re-constitute this into a minimal amount of water, basify with NaOH 30g per 100ml, then extract 3x into xylene or toluene.
Pool toluene pulls, wash gently 1-2 times with water in a sep funnel to remove any sodium hydroxide.
Then extract the toluene 3x with distilled vinegar, agitating vigorously on each pull. If you’d like you can wash these pooled vinegar pulls with toluene 1-2 times.
Evaporate vinegar pulls to yield full spectrum alkaloid extract. Often there will visible Mescaline acetate crystals amongst the mix if done right.

Stress the plant first to increase alkaloid content. Don’t water it for a while and keep the plant in the dark for a good couple of weeks at least before even taking a cutting.
This seems like a pretty straight forward extraction. I will give it a shot and update later in the week. Full spectrum crude extract is what I am looking for.
Should the cuttings be simmered in vinegar until they are homogenized, and then evap into extract?
Planning on putting the extracts into 00 gel caps for easy use.
Thanks again for the help everyone.
Ah then here’s something that might work for you..
