quick MG extraction question

let me see:
1. grind to a fine powder (300-400 seeds)
2. put powder in a bottle, pour water into bottle
3. let sit for 10 mins or so
4. pour water into seperate bottle, leaving behind the mush (only liquid remains)
5. drink and enjoy

just making sure, is this a good method? thanks.

 

Yeah, I think that's pretty good. Although, I would definately let it sit for way more than ten minutes.

 

Whoa, I was planning on trying LSA in a few days but I thought the extraction was much more complex.

So LSA is water soluble? Why then does the LSA FAQ at erowid go into all of the other solvents like naptha?

A polar/non polar extraction using naphtha and alcohol will separate the desired compounds from the ones that make you puke.

A simple water extraction will give you a lot more compounds than you want, and you may not enjoy spending most of your trip hunched over the toilet retching...

 

So you'd want to do a water extraction, toss the water, followed by a naptha/alcohol extraction and keep the alcohol/naptha?

 

no, tossing the water will eliminate most of the desired alkaloids (as well as some of the undesirable ones)...
