Hello,

After 5 years of growing my San Pedro I've decided it's time to preform an extraction! I began collecting most everything I needed for the "Easy Three-Step Mescaline Citrate" Tek. (without realizing i could no longer source xylene in my location.)

After some research I assumed D-Limonene would be a sufficent solvent replacement for the tek. So I followed the tek to the tee with just the one exception. I ended up with a more tar like substance in the end. Is this usable?

I guess my main question is; will this tek work with D-limonene replacing xylene?

Thanks!

You could explain your tek at first,
I assume a STB tek with either lye or calcium hydroxide as a base, then limonene as a solvent (yes it will work and pull), salting with citrates.
The tar like is common in un-cleaned mescaline extract, especially if pulled with oil (like limo) it is very usable as is.
You can also wash with MEK.

Thanks, that definitively answers my question.

Yes, the tek I followed was using lye as a base, limonene solvent, and salting with citric acid. Sorry, for not explaining in more detail, and thanks for the tip on washing with MEK! Cheers!
