Latest extraction experiment of LSA from HBWR seeds went pretty well and is much easier and more material efficient than the traditional naptha defatt/alcohol extraction and much cleaner. Here's how it went:
1)Began by pulverizing and extracting 70 seeds with 3 portions of anhydrous acetone(dried with anhydrous MgSO4), mixed for 2 hr each 100 mL pull. Gave clear soln with slight brown/yellow color. Filtered out solids and let extract dry.
2)Dissolved dried extract in pH 4-5 distilled water/citric acid. Filter out any solids. 100 mL of soln used.
3)Defatted this mixing 2 times with 50 ml naptha each time.
4)Basify this with small amount of ammonia to pH 8.5-9 and extract with DCM (or toluene), mixing for a good 20 minutes.
5)Seperated and saved organic layer. Evaporated to dryness giving clean white crystals.
6)Dissolved residue in small amount of distilled H2O, sprinkling in some tartaric acid, and added a small amount of 75% EtOH. Filtered this to give a final product. Clean and clear liquid extract that glows bright blue under black light. Still have yet to test should be fun!
EDIT: Btw NEVER buy any GHANA STRAIN HBWR seeds (light brown color). They are a scourge vendors are selling from their stores to scam people, and which are basically inactive and contain little to no psychoactive compounds. Hawaiian strain is the best (dark brown color).
