solvent bouquet? Options

i'm aware that naptha contains hexane and heptane, so it stands to logic that one could use a bouquet of polar solvents for extractions...not just for dmt but for cactus also.
i'm preparing to do a mescaline extraction in the next couple of days and i'm on a super tight budget and have a little hexane, a little ether, a little benzene and a little toulene.
could i combine them to avoid having to travel to buy more solvent?(i live in the middle of nowhere) Could i do the same for dmt extractions?

nothing sounds safe about mixing 4 solvents. I would do seperate pulls with each. keeps things controlled to.

i only have between 200-250 mililiters of each and i'd need at least one liter to complete the extraction...if i were to try to do them individually, they would enevitabltly mix anyway...i have a few profesional seperation funnels and all pyrex lab kit with lab grade chems....but the emulsion layer will trap small amounts of solvent no matter how careful one is...i am always super,super careful and always work in super clean enviroment with lab etiquite
