Looking at tartaric acids solubility in various alcohols (~1g/3ml), it seems like it would be a great acid to use instead of fumaric acid in acid saturated dry alcohol/limo precipitations. You'd end up using mere drops of alcohol if you saturate it with tartaric acid, but prob want it less concentrated so it does not just crystallize out of the limo without grabbing a mescaline molecule on its way out.
Still, it would be cool to use less alcohol (& traces of water, if you don't have fully anhydrous acetone/iso).
Has this been pursued at all? Any reasons why tartaric acid would be unsuitable for mesc precipitations out of limo?
Also, How about malic acid? Both of these seem like they have potential advantages over fasi/a, most importantly much more soluble in dry alcohols than fumaric acid.

In a society in which nearly everybody is dominated by somebody else's mind or by a disembodied mind, it becomes increasingly difficult to learn the truth about the activities of governments and corporations, about the quality or value of products, or about the health of one's own place and economy.
In such a society, also, our private economies will depend less upon the private ownership of real, usable property, and more upon property that is institutional and abstract, beyond individual control, such as money, insurance policies, certificates of deposit, stocks, etc. And as our private economies become more abstract, the mutual, free helps and pleasures of family and community life will be supplanted by a kind of displaced citizenship and by commerce with impersonal and self-interested suppliers...
The great enemy of freedom is the alignment of political power with wealth. This alignment destroys the commonwealth - that is, the natural wealth of localities and the local economies of household, neighborhood, and community - and so destroys democracy, of which the commonwealth is the foundation and practical means.” - Wendell Berry
