After botching an attempt to make San Pedro powder, I soaked blended cactus in vinegar and water and reduced and strained until I had a volume I could work with. I then basified with NaOH and added D-Limonene, which I then salted with vinegar and am currently dehydrating. I seem to have managed to recover some mescaline acetate, but I was wondering the following: if I already soaked the cactus juice in vinegar and created mescaline acetate and then basified per Marsofold's Tek for DMT, would I have ended up with mescaline freebase in the D-Limonene solvent layer? If so, is adding vinegar creating mescaline acetate? Here is an image of my mixture:

Is this mescaline acetate?

yeah, yes, and likely yup, but
looks like too much acid was used for the amount of alkaloids present...
likely still usable, but account for lots of impurity when dosing
