If someone had attempted extraction using hypothetical extraction method
of 1) grind red pills 2) acetone soak (fibers revealed) 3)
denatured (ethanol denatured with methanol)alcohol soak and filter. 4)
dH20 soak chill and filter. 5) Air dry on pyrex pie plate. 6)
Hypothetical result 3 or 4 grams of waxy orange stuff.
Problem? Insufficient drying between steps? Can it be rewashed with
something?
Removal of orange/red dye? Does that even matter?
This is all hypothetical, of course.

Do an A/B extraction that should get rid of all that unwanted filler/dyes
etc.

Sorry to stick my overly large dwarfish red nose into this: but Worlock's
used to it, so i presume he'll forgive me:
Why don't you just TRY, once, the sand filter (chromatography column)
and alcohol/ water free technique and leave all your problems behind
forever amen??
And if you include the freezer, you'll get rid of the povidone, a
churlish red goo that's worse than the carnuba as regards gunking up
things at the end.
but you have to promise to throw the cleaned freebase away
afterwards.

I think anything to relieve the sheer tedium of the extraction is a
godsend.
You just said alcohol -free. Doesn't this utilize a methanol soak and
then pour through the sand. Let me check my notes.
Maybe that phenylacetone method isn't so much trouble after all.

Yes both methods will work. The Dwarfer has the simplest
solution. You must have mostly good stuff uin the sample. so a litt;e
filtering may be all you need. The sand filter is awesome, It will not
require a very large unit for 3-4 grams so don't let him sell you the 3
liter model. The amount of surface area in rhe sand filter is awesome.
You won't need more tham a 200 ml capacity. methanol would be the
better solvent(more specific) but distilled water (very cold) should work
just fine.

I believe the dwarf meant use alcohol that is water free.
The a/b method would use toluene, lye and water andv HCl
mix up a 20% lye solution add a `100 ml to dissolve the ephedrine.
it may form a wax layer on top this is the E , check the pH , raise it to
12.4 add equal amount of toluene shake like mad, let it layer, discard
bottom(water/lye layer) be sure to clear out as much lye water as you
can.
add 200 ml d-water to toluene add drops of HCL until d-water layer is
pH 7.0-8.0 shaking in between drops. let layer , take bottom water
layer and evaporate should have nice crystal E

I am looking into microwave extraction. Put methanol in freezer until very
cold.
Grind up psuedoephedrine pills that do not contain sugar or povidone. I
understand that they are available at Walmart and a lot of grocery stores.
Have a field trip and drop one person off at each store in a close 3 mile
range. Circle around to pick the people up. Use a large van or Suburban.
This way you can accumulate a lot of these pills. Only 3 boxes should be
picked up per person/store.
I will post the yields and more precise instructions.
Safety Warning:
Be sure and get all the aluminum and any metal away from powder and
methanol solution. If a piece of aluminum gets in the solution the
microwave will swell 4 extra inches in diameter and the door will
disconnect and fly across the room. I know someone that had this happen.
PS. Tell the search party that the cook-off is 3 days later than the
real cook-off. That way it is much safer and no When de de de When de de
de you to death.

Having not done anything yet except a few attempts at extractions and not
wanting to do anything until I have everything down pat in my head and
truly understand all mechanics and reactions etc. So I can do all and
every procedure without reverting to any reading of text or notes. Just
when I think I have everything just right using all latest techniques and
info. Now you want to confuse me more!!! But I am happy for it if it makes
things easier and cleaner. and I love learning! So I am going with the
glass bead filter as I assume it would be cleaner(something does not feel
right about sand. I know it is pretty clean have sandblasted with it
before) SO here is my brief write-up of extraction!
1. Grind pills. 2. Soak in DH2O with some agitation. 1 hour. 3.
Was thinking of toluene wash to remove anything soluble in tol. 4. Pour
thru sand/glass filter. 5. Basify with 20% NaOH solution. 6. Add
equal amount Toluene. 7. Separate Toluene layer. 8. Evaporate
Toluene to complete dryness. 9. Should have pure Freebase.
This is for use in P/P method. Freebase preferred for better yields!!
This is my understanding so far for cleanest results and ease and
fastest extraction. MAybe heat water/pseudo after sand filter so less lye
is used?? Ala Worlock! If you don't agree with anything or have
arguement why I should do something different please explain. This is all
my understanding having read all notes on this subject. I am in no rush
to make anything as I would rather learn and take advantage of all latest
developments. Thanks. NB>out

I think that will work fine, although I prefer to start with flinging the
pills in a blender with mixed alcohols, filtering (you can let the crap
settle first or not: does not make a hill of beans.
Rinse the filter with a 100 ml of alcohol.
Put the alcohol back into the blender, turn on low and add NaOH to
12.5.
If you use xylene as a N/P to extract, sometimes the alcohol and xylene
will be miscible: no biggee, put the whole shebang in the freezer.
Next morn the xylene will be on THE BOTTOM. Separate and evap to get E
in superb %.
I uspect that naptha will separate without the freezer treatment: if
you are using as a source materials some that have povidone or other
whatevers, it's worthwhile doing the freeezer routine anyway: several
times I have noted interesting contaminants whose appearance was
unexpected, givein the clarity of the material before introducing to the
Frigidaire.
The difference in composition of sand and glass beads is (generally)
quite small.
The biggest difference is in the physical characteristics of the
individual grains,

Like Worlock says, dH2O, methanol, acitone in that order.
Some of the extractions go with a, m, d, in that order, but i find that
the opposite works best for me.
200 x 60ml white pills, (smaller lots seem to work better also)
Pills in blender (10 minutes) 250ml boiling water, shake, filter,
repeat twice. Last water pull is not very bitter.
Evaporate.
Methanol, 1 bottle (Heet) 355ml., added to powder, shake, evaporate.
Take powder swish around in acitone, pour off fuel, evaporate.
Done.......
Thanx !

Ah this one glad to see Worlockian success with 24 hour specials. Solly to
note probably now see 24 hour specials disappear from his neighborhood at
speed of light like do where i hang out.
Clean EZ: slightly higher front end price but 100% yield and super
clean.
Although still think alcohol / sand trap best, have not tried boiling
water so probably should waste, I mean try, some pills in that technique.
Good for you CSIAM!!
Yes, Android: but a paradigm shift has taken place in the last 2
months. Quicker faster better easier cheaper more complete better yields.

Utilized the sand and water but it was ineffective, perhaps I should state
my screw up first, I used mostly the 240 mg tabs but also used a box of
ten 120mg tabs that were primarily a wax release system.
The product was really shit I just want to keep my own precursers safe
by reccommending these other dead enders.
Seriously, I gave the stuff away to dwarfer cause he does not do drugs
at all, he is totally alcohol pickled listen to his slurred speach

So my write-up looks cool except I should add a acetone wash before water
to wash away any waxes that might make some pseudo get caught up in sand
yeh??...... I don't see advantage of alcohol .. Please explain why you
think neccessary if thats the case and to everyone please note we are
after freebase and not just cleaned pill extracts so some of your steps
are useless seeing as basifying and extracting with the tol is gonna get
rid of just about everything!! NB>out

Ah, worlock, how is it that you do not follow instructions but still are a
fine cook?
Must be the incantations you mutter as you ply your crafty craft. I'll
never forget your muttereing over those fineley filtered feathers,
fatuously.
You mean given the opportunity to actually do a clean extraction with
the microcellulose products all by them lonesomeselfnesses, you
purposefully introduced the fatty waxers just to make things complicated??
What a masochist! Or, more likely, the matter is becomeing so easy for
you that you have to make it harder for the challenge of it all.
+++++++++++++
Nevertheless you be geting different results than I:
Howesabout we make a deal: I'll do it your way with boiling the plastic
broken pustules in water and scraping off the agglomerated water sodden
floating masses of white grunge; and then evaporate? dissolve in NP, and
whatever however you tell me to do it.
and you do it my way with cheapo mixed alcohols from the hardware
store, and the sand trap, sand trap wash, and basify, extract with xylene,
and evap.
Beats the crap outa me why water should make so much difference in
results, but I've never tried it with water and apparently you've never
tried it with alcohol so herer we are ??
I'll try it again before this weekend: I've tried several variations
with the red hots which are harder because of povidone and wax: the wax
has never held up the ephedrine in the filter that I've noted. And seeing
as how it's still like little pools of liquid oil in the freezer at zero
degrees, I have a hard time equating it with the stuff in the 5 gallons of
super wax I have from Vietnam War surplus with CARNUBA on the outside.
With the 24 hour goodies, I've blended with alcohol, basified, salted
(no increase in yield), and added xylene and THEN filtered the whole
shebang at once: and gotten the same super yields. The process does not
seem to be prodedure-order sensitive.
i just thought of something- I've previously mentioned that it takes
the freezer to resolve the xylene from the alcohol: but it did not before
in these early 24 hour-special experiments.
I wonder if the alcohol dissolves enough NaCL to cause it to
differentiate without the cold treatment? ===========================
Anyway, as regards swapping techniques:
That way, we can compare notes in re ease and results on say, maybe 20
24 hour specials??
otherwise, being creatures of habit and happy as hell with how it works
for us we'll probably never try the other dude's sytem.
Whaddaya say? Then I'll leave the 4.0 grams I'll get (out of 4.8
possible) [ adjusted for freebase from the .HCL salt] out of YOUR system
under a mesquite bush south of Tuscon so you can pick it up for your
collection: sein' as how i of course have no further use for it.

Dwarfer, Yes I did, add the wax balls to the pure microcrystal
cellulose, and tried to take it back, then thought hell go for it. You
see I wrongly assumed the 12 hour and the 24 hour specials were both
plastic coated with four holes. After checking the packageing ingredients,
it was too late. You see I tossed da shit into a blender and did not
mess with cutting them in half, but they were so concentrated they did not
fill enough volume in the blender, I had to add water just so they would
get caught in the blades.
With several boxes of the 12 hour specials, they were cut in half,
dissolved in methanol, filtered and have sat in limbo for 3 days now
As long as you are in the mood to ride my ass today: your ideas
about adding NaOH to E dissolved in simple alcohols, and then expecting a
freebase was not working, and left me without a polar / nonpolar interface
Not only that but: Normally the sequencing of solvents does have an
effect. Typically extracting with water initially creates problems when
following up with a methanol extraction. Why,? I do not understand,
perhaps the E was not completely dry before dissolving in methanol. But I
have seen extractions that become nightmarish, after beginning with water,
instead of methanol.
As far as the extraction challenge, I once again appeal to your sense
of fairness in that I have never seen your solvent of mixed alcohols in
stores here. I can not find the stuff. Otherwise I would take you up on
the test in a heartbeat. In addition the hardware brand of xylol I have
access to is trash. I can acquire good naphtha, acetone, denatured,
methanol, acids, peroxide. a fair grade of toluene
And yes I am allowed to break the rules, and still end up OK, it is in
my contract, didn't your people have such a clause added to yours? But
I can only do so, if the other chems are top o da line.
High-noon Tuscon is perfect, forget the bush, I'll meet you in the bar,
reformed alcoholic or not you will not leave, un-drunk.

Home Base, Home Club, Orchard: any of the largish ones will have it.
I presume you added a NP to the basified alcohol? And did not get an
interface?
As remembered above, it would be neat for you to add some NaCl to the
blender and mix it and see if the extremely low amount of salt that will
dissolve in the alcohol will then effect separation: if not, put it in the
freezer and it will.
Hematite, I've not ever seen the anti-freezing prohibition: but at zero
the dissolved material in the alcohol or NP is still liquid.
(I'm thinking mechanical stresses in the OTC pills: but maybe I'm
missing something here.)
=========
Here, in Cali, you can't get toluene without a court order: I presume
because of the benzaldehyde connection: otherwise it does not make sense
toleave the xylene available and not toluene. ?????

OK: but you have to be designated driver on the way out, so you are

Here is an interesting type of extraction, that may be useful in some
situatuions.
It uses a solubility trick. It involves changing the concentration
of two solvents that are miscible. The comnpound being extracted
dissolves only in one of the solvents.
Supplies & equipment: methanol cold acetone ephedrine
pills. funnel coffe filter cotton ball 2 flasks 1
evaporating pan
Method: Grind pills. Soak powder in methanol for an
hour. Decant the supernatant and filter. Evaporate the methanol, to
the extreme minimal amount needed , to keep the solution
dissolved. Chill the methanol. Add the cold acetone to the methanol
solution, about 5 x the volume of the solution while stirring and watching
for a precipitate. As the ephedrine begins to precipitate continue
adding acetone. until no more precipitant is formed, filter off the
ephrdrine.
This works because ephedrine is not soluble in acetone. So by
increasing the acetone concentration while simultaneously decreasing the
methanol concentration the solution soon becomes unable to hold dissolved
ephedrine. The ephedrine precipitates out. The cold acetone assures a
better return since acetone will dissolve a small amount of
ephedrine. If it fails you loose nothing of any value. Recovery of the
your product is as simple as evaporating away the solvents.
Personally I intend to try this on some waxed out go-go shortly.

procedures, regardless that the Hive is based upon experimenting with new

These proceduress are presented for testing by Bees only. You will not

Addendum The concentration of E or M must be very high. This works
best if the E or M are not 100% dissolved but more like 80% to 90%
disolved , (contains some solids).

Using the methanol with dissolved "gold" then adding the cold acetone,
woked very well. It formed a flocculent precipitate immediately, the
go-go was filtered and dried to a fluffy white powder, the increased
volume was too slick. The procedure removed all bitterness from the
go-go when smoked it was very smooth, the high was clean, too clean , a
big rush, racing heart rate, profuse sweating, a tendency to perform some
activity, cleaning , repair work, an aphrodesiac, not as, a real tooth
grinder.
If you got some real shitty stuff, waxed out, or salted out crap, this
be the way to go.
be sure that the gold is concentrated, too much methanol and it
will not work.
best to add the gold to a bit of methanol and keep on adding until no
more will dissolve wait a few minutes then try to dissolve more, until it
is saturated and the methanol shows a slight cloudiness, then you know it
is concentrated.
