"Applied chemists" within the drug cult have devised ingenious methods of extracting pure mescaline from dried or fresh plant material. The basic process varies somewhat but a typical one is as follows: the plant material is first boiled to extract the alkaloids; this extract is then made basic by the addition of sodium hydroxide (lye). Next benzene (try methylenechloride) is added to further separate the alkaloids. The aqueous and benzene portions are allowed to separate following a gentle shaking. Dilute sulfuric acid (hydrochloric works as well) is next added in small quantitites to the benzene portion and the solution is again shaken. The mixture is allowed to stand, and the process is repeated several more times with the addition of a more dilute acid every time. A white precipitate will soon settle and can easily be dried. This is mescaline sulfate (or hydrochloride) and further steps can make it quite pure.

ENdlessness... I understand and see what's on the precipitation thread, but nowhere do I see anything about various ways to make the alkaloid alone instantly "Crash out" without freezing the solvent, or without adding a water/acidified solution (in which case the alkaloid becomes its salt). Isn't there something, some eluent or whatever, one could add to the Naptha (hot bestine?) that would suck just the pure DMT out and leave the wrest in the naphtha? You're right this doesn't belong on the percip thread, but maybe you could answer.
