It's good to have some confirmation on this. I knew this batch was just packed with accessory alks, but I was still surprised to loose 60%. It fits on the level of visuals, though.
Assuming my non-crashed alkaloid proves to [predominantly] not be mescaline than if nothing else I'll save the fraction to mix with caffeine. 60mg of the parent alkaloidā¢HCl taken with a strong cup of coffee is my secret weapon for 8 hours of stimulation and appetite suppression to get work done. I have invented the mescaline diet
Perhaps some other use can be found, as well. Like ayahuasca admixture. I've gone as deep as 750mg speedy alkaloidā¢HCl [= 938mg sulfate] in combination with harmine, twice, and nothing bad happened. Unless you count tripping my freaking
Brains out
It'll help resolve some of these questions if a good chromatographic eluent for mescaline vs. accessories is worked out. If I can see different spots with different Rf values it will make evaluation of the product less subjective.
Solvents I have available to use in an eluent include methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, acetone, butanone, ethyl acetate, chloroform, toluene, xylene, isoöctane, turpentine, limonene, and 10% ammonia (aq)
Okay, so I'm on the right track, I should just isolate the byproduct to test separately.
Right on
