extracting mescaline

[bedake]

Is there a way to extract the mescaline from peruvian torch incense powder?

... rawr

no

[Euphoric]

yup!
The isolation of mescaline from cacti containing this alkaloid is not difficult to perform and is perhaps one of the most rewarding alchemical processes that one can attempt. The chemicals required for this process are readily avilable and their purchase arouses no suspicion or interest on the part of government agencies [This may no longer be true, use reasonable caution when purcahsing any chemicals - EoI]. The equipment employed is not expensive or particularly complicated or can be constructed very easily from ordinary household items. The entire process can be carried out in any kitchen in a matter of hours by following the instruction below and in the final stages one can verify the success of the procedure by actually watching the crystals of mescaline precipitate in the solution.

Euphoric, that link is for extracting the mescaline out of the cactus itself, which is not that difficult. To answer the question, no you can not extract pure mescaline out of the powdered incense... why would you want too, just to make it a smaller dose to take?

yup smaller dose and a helluva lot easier to get down. plus its an even cleaner trip

btw
you can make a separatory funnel out of a 2 liter soda bottle and a pop top for a sports water bottle
just cut the bottom off the bottle and flip upside down and screw on the pop top
make a stand out of a box or something :-)
