Thanks for the info, guys.
Ning, of course, knows nothing of the highly specialized tweeker lore
Sounds like some type of water recycling device is necessary.
I wonder...since pseudo is a tough molecule, if one were to take an espresso pot, and tea-bag ground pills in the coffee holder, then "reflux" for a while, how things would turn out? A sort of steam-soxhlet.
If there were NaOH or other base in the water, it would perform a "fester gakk hydrolysis" simultaneously on the distillate.
Perhaps pseudo needs only a middle-high pH to bee steam extractable. Ning suspects that at high pHs pseudo starts to become water soluble again, due to deprotonation of it's benzylic acohol function. Na2CO3 would probably bee perfect.
If it were possible to reduce the dizzying array of solvents used for pill extraction, the chances for a bee to get caught would be less. Not to mention the environmental factor.
