Salvinorin Extraction

DrugPhreak · Working Bee

Anyone ever try this.... https://synthetikal.com/Rhodiums_pdfs/chemistry/salvinorin.extraction.html ? 2l of acetone per 100gm of leaves seems to bee far beyond overkill since Salvinorin A is so soluble in it.

Never tried this but... What is the volume of 100gm of leaves (Salvinorin)? The acetone is used in 1L portions. It may take 1L to sufficiently cover the leaves. Some of the acetone will be absorbed by the leaves, and one would need enough excess solvent to recover an adequate amount after filtration.

If only 50% of the solvent can be recovered, then the other 50% is left in the leaf mass along with 50% of the dissolved product. Acetone is cheap; what is the price of the leaves?

Considering the ridiculous number of compounds which make up plant matter it seems more than reasonable.

I extracted 50gm of Salvia leaves recently. It was powdered though and was close to the 200ml line in a 600ml bottle. Since this extraction uses whole leaves and the reason Krz pointed out (it's beyond me why I didn't mention that here) I guess 2l is basically mandatory... these salvia leaves do have a shitload of tar etc too. Yeah... acetone is cheap and the leaves are ~$100 a pound. I really didn't want to get a 4l flask, but that massive salvinorin extraction on the Lycaeum is way too much work! Sad

does ,

anybee know if that old synth for salva blotter work?
swiy never try'd it but in read'n there was not too many that fought over it.

Oral administration of Salvinorin A in pure form doesn't work well because it gets deactivated shortly after.

how about the old 3day h2o extact.? then let dry . add to ipa heat
and watch rextaliz'n.
swiy has not play'd in the alchemist area in some time.
so if not to bee take'n oral swiy guess it's to bee smoke'd?
is that not a short'r hi than oral?

ive had the pleasure of extracting salvia.
never used calculated amounts of acetone. just took the leaves, crushed em up real nice, poured acetone all the way to cover the salvia and then some, and placed in the freezer for 2 hours. later it was filtered, and a 10% quantity of leaves was weighed, acetone evaped to a wrokable amount, and soaked into the leaves with occaisonal stirring. wear gloves cause the grean will stick to ur hands for weeks. very easy.
about oral administration - its my belive that a hard rock candy will do the trick. experimenting is needed to define the right amount of salvinorin per candy, but essentially it should be a small hard sugar candy which u can suck on for 10-30minutes

Smoking is the normal route of administration. Its duration is ~10-30min. I think a hard candy should be tried as this would allow for a lot of contact with the oral mucosa. This is along the lines of chewing leaves and swallowing the juice, which is also rather effective.

mk-1 seems to have a good idea-the cold extraction.
For those of us who are not able to commit a freezer to this, 2 15-min RT soaks should do it.
And the acetone can be boiled off with a water bath, if one is in a hurry, but bee sure to use a hotplate and adequate ventilation.

OOooo somthing I can contribute to.

I recently extracted, and cleaned raw salvinorin a. from a lb. extraction. The next extraction will involve a 1 kilo extraction.

salvinorin is very soluable in alcohol.

acetone holds more salvinorin then grain / or 99% alcohol.

acetone also seems to evaporate faster, and more cleanly then the others.... so it's the choice of extractors.

I won't go into great details.... but a 3, 1 minute soaks are long enough to pull out all salvinorin.... anything longer and your just pulling crap, which in turn will take you a while to clean... and use more solvent.
