Mescaline Extraction
Here is a solid A/B tek on cacti for any who are interested, as well as a good method to obtain snow white crystals
every time. Although SWIM came up with this tek on his own, there were contributing influences by House's resin
extraction, dg's titration, and various postings. I like this method alot becuase the reagents are cheap, it is relatively
easy, and doesnt take too long. It is VERY easy with fresh diced cacti but also fine using cacti powder. Fresh cacti
should be cubed and frozen solid at least once before cooked. That said, let us begin.

Procedure

Procedure for Mescaline HCl Extract Materials Required

1. Begin by adding 100g cacti powder or Source Material:
diced 12in cacti cutting(s) to a pot. Add
100g cacti powder or 1-2 12in cutting(s).
30g citric acid or 200ml vinegar or 10ml
glacial. If using cacti powder, add enough
Solvents:
water to make it wet but not watery.
2. To this add 2L H2O and simmer for 2hrs. 1L Toluene or Xylene
Mix occasionally. Any cacti snot will boil 50ml MEK, anhydrous acetone, or ethyl
off eventually and the tea should become acetate
nonviscous and watery. H2O
40ml Methanol (Optional)
3. Filter out liquid from plant matter with a
cloth filter and funnel, and add the liquid Reagents/Desiccants:
to another pot. Reduce this to a low
volume by boiling. Add plant material

back to original pot, cover with 2L H2O,

and simmer for 1hr. Mix occasionally. 30g Citric Acid or 200ml white vinegar (10ml
glacial)
4. Repeat step 3 atleast four to six times total
until the liquid filtered out has very little -->Citric Acid Appears More Likely To Cause
color. Discard plant material after final Emulsions
time and reduce all the aqueous cacti
extract to around 300 ml. This can be put 50g NaOH (Lye)
in a glass pickle jar. Allow to sit overnight Hcl (Muriatic Acid)
to precipitate unwanted fine particles, but 0.5g Fumaric Acid (Optional)
this is optional.
5. Now it is time to basify. Mix 50g NaOH Equipment:
in 100ml H2O. It will get VERY hot, it is
recommended to cool the mixing Pots
container while stirring with a cold water Glassware
bath or under the faucet. Add the NaOH 1L glass pickle jar
solution to the aqueous cacti extract. Evaporating dish/bowl
Stir utensils
6. Add 200ml toluene (or xylene) and mix Pipet/syringe/separatory funnel
for 10-15 minutes. Let the mixture settle Coffee filters and funnel
and use a hot water bath to seperate the Cloth filters (shirt)
layers from the emulsion if necessary. Rubber gloves
Seperate the layers with a pipet,
separatory funnel, or syringe. Save the NOTE
toluene in another glass container and put
basic aqueous cacti solution back in All materials contained in this list can be found at hardware stores,
original container. grocery stores, or online by every-day consumers.

7. Repeat previous step atleast 4 times total.

Discard basic aqueous layer after, saving
the toluene extract which contains the
alkaloids.
8. To the toluene extract add 100ml H2O.
Add 0.5ml concentrated HCl to this and
mix well for 5 minutes. Check the pH. If
it is still basic (pH 9+) then add
incriments of 0.5ml HCl with mixing and
checking pH until it tests acidic (below
pH 7). Continue mixing for 10 minutes
after. Only one acid salting pull is usually
necessary, but more can be performed and
may be necessary for larger scale
extraction.
9. Seperate layers, hot water bath may be
necessary to seperate emulsion quickly.
Filter and save acidic H2O layer and
discard/recycle toluene. Evaporate the
aqueous layer on a dish with aid of a fan
and/or hot water bath. Never use direct
heat it will scorch your product. Scrape up
the crystals.
10. Wash crystals with 50ml cold MEK (or
anhydrous acetone, ethyl acetate). You

will notice the solvent become discolored

and the crystals become cleaner. Decant
off the solvent carefully, leaving behind
the cleaned crystals.

-You will usually be left with light tan

Mescaline HCl if pachanoi was used.
Yield will be largely dependent on how
efficiently you performed the extraction,
but most importantly the quality of cacti
used in the beginning. 0.5-1.5% yield of
dry starting weight is average, but can
range anywhere from 0-3%. Enjoy!

Procedure Notes

-Reducing the initial liquid: After each filtration

the liquid is put into a pot, the "reducing pot". This
can be boiled on high heat, just make sure it doesnt
boil over. Once the liquid has boiled down to a low
volume, stop reducing it when it becomes different
in appearance and syrupy. Make sure not to reduce
beyond this point and obviously dont boil it
completely dry. Doing so will destroy alkaloids.

-Filtering plant material: This can be quite a

frustrating step if working with cacti powder,
though you get the hang of it over time. It is easiest
to seperate out the liquid from cacti material by
using cloth cut from a shirt and then pouring the
sludge into a funnel through the cloth filter. Get a
pair of rubber gloves and squeeze out the liquid
from the filter. Dont squeeze too hard or cacti
sludge will press through. Filtering is easiest to do
while the liquid is hot and should be done atleast
twice after each water boil. It also gets easier after
each boil.

-Checking pH: The pH can be checked with pH

paper by dipping it in the toluene/H2O solution
while mixing. The paper must come in contact with
the water layer as pH cannot be read from the
nonpolar layer.

-Washing the crystals: It is important to wash your

end crystals with a solvent like MEK or anhydrous
acetone to remove impurities. The solvent dissolves

resins and impurities, leaving behind cleaner non-

sticky crystals.

Additional Purification
Procedure for White Mescaline
NOTE

Doesnt change effects much, but increases purity

and looks awful pretty! This procedure can be
used to obtain pure white mescaline, and solvent
ratios must be followed exactly. Solvent ratio
affects the rate crystals precipitate out and more
importantly their size. If they are too
small/precipitate too quickly, they will be too fine
to filter or decant liquid from. More nonpolar->
decreases solubility, more methanol-> increases
solubility.

1. To a glass container with 1g cleaned

Mescaline Hcl add 50ml H2O + 1ml HCl.
Mix well until crystals completely dissolve.
2. Add 50ml toluene.
3. Mix 10g NaOH with 50ml water and add
this to the solution, turning it basic. Mix
well for 10 minutes.
4. Seperate layers, saving toluene and
discarding aqueous.
5. To another glass container pour 40ml
methanol (HEET antifreeze remover) and
add 0.5g fumaric acid. Mix well until
fumaric acid dissolves.
6. Add the fumaric methanol to the toluene
and mix it alittle. After a short time, the
solution turns cloudy and crystals begin to
form. Once crystals settle, mix it alittle
more and pour into a dish.
7. Very carefully decant by pouring off liquid
and leaving behind white crystals. With no
remaining liquid on the plate, let crystals
dry and scrape up, yielding pure white
Mescaline Fumarate. Enjoy!

Additional Purification Notes

It is important to remove all the liquid to avoid

fumaric acid contamination. Alternatively to
decanting, you can filter if the crystals are big
enough. This purification SWIM imagines could be
used for larger amounts of mescaline keeping to the
solvent ratios. It is also possible to use other solvent
combinations and acids for precipitation, though
this is left up to you. One could also get a pretty
pure product if they simply did another hcl salting
from the toluene instead of precipitation.

Dosage Information
The good thing about making a purified mescaline extract is that you can easily measure exactly how much you are
consuming and the experience is more clear. Mescaline is a very "friendly" feeling substance that is probably the
least edgy of the traditional psychedelics imho. The experience is usually associated with euphoria, brightened
colors, increased sociability, altered thinking, and morphing rainbows/patterns/environment. While dosages vary
for everyone, I believe this to be a fairly accurate scale of dosage for the extraction procedure:

Threshold <100 mg
Light 100 - 200 mg
Common 200 - 400 mg
Strong 400 - 600 mg
Heavy >600 mg
