The best effects I've had so far were from a 99% DL tartaric acid CWE..good effects (euphoria & music enhancement) were noted 2.5 to 3 hours into it, and that was just from 30ML of the total 8 gram extract ending in 300ML of water or so. It all seemed to hit about 3 hours after hypothetical consumption. Ph of CWE with 60mg of tartaric acid powder read ph = 3.5. There was zero nausea.
In the pic you can see millions of polar white salty looking compounds floating near the bottom after the 1 hour CWE. There is no discoloration of the water from non-polar compounds.
A picture of the crystal clear CWE is shown here at the end of the thread:

My question is this--Are the alkaloids in the rubbery microbial steril embryo of the seeds in a freebase form or are they in a salted form? I have read conflicting answers to this question on forums and in books.
IF the alkaloids are in a freebase form, then I can see how the tartaric acidified water would greatly increase extraction efficiency of all the good alkaloids by forming water soluble salts with them.
And what do you think about this study of aldehydes forming adducts with trypthophan and indole derivatives?

Is it at all possible to re-form any amount of the unstable? d-lysergic acid hydroxyethylamide from LSA by the addition of some sort of aldehyde/acetaldehyde containing natural substance with physiological mixing?
LAE-32 mentioned in tihkal shows a similar structure to d-lysergic acid hydroxyethylamide (also see the human effects of LAE-32 at 1.6mg and above):

For convenience, I will just refer to d-lysergic acid hydroxyethylamide as "LAH" to simplify repeating it.
LAE-32 has a mono CH2CH3 at R1 and an H at R2.
LAH has a CHOHCH3 at R1 and an H at R2.
LAE-32 = d-lysergic acid ethylamide
LAH = d-lysergic acid hydroxyethylamide.
I'm just guessing here, but the names and structures appear similar.
