Pure LSA Extraction, Visually Active with no Nausea or Bodyload

Procedure

Procedure for Clean Liquid LSA Extract 1. Begin by preparing anhydrous acetone reagent. Do this by microwaving 1/2 cup of MgSO4 for a few minutes until all the water in it boils away. Take the dry MgSO4 and add it to a glass of 300ml acetone, mixing well for 15 minutes. Filter out the solids with a coffee filter and you now have 300 ml anhydrous acetone. 2. Pulverize your seeds into a powder using a coffee grinder or your method of choice. 3. Thoroughly mix in a glass the seed powder and 100 ml of anhydrous acetone. Mix frequently for 2-3 hrs, the more mixing the better. 4. After this, filter solution and set aside acetone extract in a glass and cover with plastic wrap to prevent early evaporation. Put seed mush back into the original cup and cover with 100 ml new anhydrous acetone. 5. Repeat steps 3-4 two more times so you have 3 extractions. After third extraction, discard seed mush and combine the extracts into an evaporation dish/bowl. Set up a fan blowing on the extraction to speed evaporation. Doesn't take too long. Evap to dryness, making sure there is no more acetone smell. 6. Mix in a glass 100 ml distilled water and a pinch of citric acid (pH 3-5). Add to the dry crude LSA extract and mix well for 10 minutes. Not everything will dissolve. Filter out the solids. There should now be 100 ml of aqueous LSA citrate. 7. Defat this solution with 50 ml naptha, mixing well for 10 minutes. Seperate layers with a syringe and discard naptha. Repeat 2 times. Make sure the second time that there is no remaining naptha floating in your LSA extract after defat. 8. Now its time to freebase the LSA so it can be extracted from the water layer. Add a small amount of ammonia (around 1 ml) to solution until it changes to a light yellow color. PH should be roughly 8.5-9.5. 9. Quickly add 50 ml toluene or DCM to the solution and mix well for 15-20 minutes. After, seperate the layers with syringe and set aside the 50 ml of toluene or DCM in a glass. Repeat this step 1 or 2 more times depending on how scrupulous you want to be. Afterwards, discard your yellow/green water layer. 10. Now with your combined toluene or DCM extracts, set them to evaporate in an evaporation dish/bowl with the aid of a fan. This again shouldnt take too long, and you end up with a pure white crystal residue once dry. 11. Once your pure extract is dry and there is absolutely no smell of solvent in your evap dish, add 10 ml distilled H2O and 5 ml drinkable ethanol. Sprinkle in a pinch of tartaric acid and mix thoroughly for 10 minutes. Filter this, and store in a vial away from heat and light. Comments

(Morning Glory seeds may be substituted in as well) Solvents: 300 ml acetone. 110 ml distilled H2O. 100 ml naptha. 100 ml toluene or DCM. 5 ml drinkable ethanol (everclear works well). Reagents/Desiccants: 1/2 cup Epsom Salt (MgSO4). 1 pinch citric acid. 1 ml ammonia. 1 pinch tartaric acid. Equipment: Coffee filters and funnel. Evaporating dish/bowl. Syringe. Stir stick. Glassware. Vial 15ml or more (preferably amberglass).

Dosage Information

It is difficult to accurately measure doses of LSA extract, since potency can vary. In general you can get a rough idea by comparing the ratio of seeds to liquid extract volume. A few drops of peppermint oil should be added to the LSA extract 10 minutes prior to comsuming. I believe this to be a fairly accurate scale of dosage for this extraction procedure:

• Threshold < 10 seeds worth
• Light 10-19 seeds worth
• Common 20-34 seeds worth
• Strong 35-49 seeds worth
• Heavy > 50 seeds worth
