I recently obtained an ounce of dried salvia divinorum leaves from a friend of mine for extraction purposes.
I am was unable to get the leaf to as fine as I would prefer since my coffee grinder broke, and since the majority of my chemicals are not with me at the moment, I decided to do an extraction for the people who do not want to invest to much, or go different places hunting down the matterials they need.

The first thing I did was "grind" all of the leaf material through a metal strainer. This produced a nice consistent sized mixture of leaves the size of the holes in the strainer. The leaves were placed in a quart jar 91% Isopropyl alcohol was added about twice the volume of leaves.

I am allowing this to sit for at least a day, possibly several, in the dark shaking it every so often. This is to make sure all of the terpenioids, such as salvinorin A, are extracted.

I'll update this when I get further in the process. Sorry some of the images are a bit blurry. I think I have better ones somewhere.

All the tek's I have seen were using acetone. Can't wait to read your results.

I've also seen it done with 99% Isopropyl alcohol. The 9% water I don't think will hurt it all that much. I am also planning on warming it a bit before I separate the leaf material and the now crazy green liquid. The material will be soaked and extracted again for better yields of course.

follow up?

Haven't had the time to filter, and o the rest. I'm still shaking it a few times a day. Although by now it is probably to the point where any of the salvinorins that will be dissolved/extracted are probably already dissolved.

dissolved as in - no mas!

i would imagine leaving it in there too long would have reverse effects no?

i certain amount of time seperates the salv. from the leaf material, an extended amount of time seperates the salv from...existence

No, only certain compounds will dissolve the solvent, the others will remain untouched. I've been keeping it in a dark place so the salvinlorins shouldn't degrade very much at all.

im going to try a denatured alcohol salvia extraction

using maybe an oz of leaf material.

re-applying to about 7g. which would make it around 4x correct?

ive also been told to not apply the extraction to the new leaf all at once, but little by little.

im also going to apply some of the extraction to some cannibis.

ill post results as i go.

Vesp, are you using aluminum or glass pan? are you heating in the oven any, or just fan evap?

Denatured often has some toxic, or disgusting chemicals in it, and so if this is for consumption I would recommend against it.

Well, this depends on how many grams you have extracted from the original ounce, doesn't it?

I don't know why this would matter, Time, agiation, and quanity of the solvent is the real important thing I beleive. Do you have a reason to add it little by little?

excellent! I'd love to see them for both

I haven't started, but almost certainly a glass pan, and room temp most likely with a fan.

What I did was blend the Salvia finely with chilled acetone, then filter. Then extract again three times with fresh acetone from the same leaf pulp. Then filter, evaporate, wash in water to remove crap, and your done. I will post amounts when I dig up my notes.

What does the water extract? Seems like that wouldn't dissolve the oils/lipids any better then it would the salvinorins.

The water washes off the chlorophyll traces left on my salvinorin A to remove the nasty green colour. Recrystallization would work better but seeing as I was doing it for someone else and not being paid enough I decided quality came second to profits

Washing with dH2O only removes shit on the crystal surface - its the crystals I washed not the plant matter.

This extraction project has been stopped for sometime thanks to the idiocy of several people thinking clear white sodium acetate crystals were opium. This has prevented any chemistry to partake in the house for a while.

I think you need to chemically educate your family mate!

Yeah.. but eh

Here is a write up 'my dog found on the street in my dreams' about extracting the Salvinorin A.

200 g dry, ground in blender, Salvia Divinorum leaves are put into a plastic bottle and left in a fridge for a day or so. At the same time, 4 bottles each containing 1 L pure acetone are chilled to a temp. of -6 C or so in a freezer. The bottle of leaves is removed from the fridge and immediately one of the portions of chilled acetone is added. The bottle is capped and vigorously shaken for 5 minutes. I just fucked it into a food blender for 10 mins and drank coffee. The acetone is then poured off and filtered. Repeat this procedure with all 4 1 L portions of acetone, on the same pile of leafy matter, and combine the 4 green liquid 'extracts' in a Pyrex dish. The acetone is removed by heating or distilled off to give 600 mg of greenish crystals. Then wash in water to wash any chlorophyll off the crystal surfaces.

Apparently recrystallization from hot isopropyl alcohol should give 510 mg of clearer, pure Salvinorin A crystals.

Yes I like dreaming
