Oh, I forgot to add. If you want to download the photographs of crystals and extractions you can find zipped files at http://www.entheogen.com/articles/2004/sph...phere_pics.html - They have links to the files stored on their site all winzipped together.

Here is a link to a page that someone anonymously wrote about the extraction process I use. I have no idea who wrote it, but I did proof read it. http://www.entheogen.com/articles/2004/salvinorin.html



edit: There is one big problem with the article, the "anonymous" author who turns out to be the owner of Iamshaman.com who I have found out also owns entheogen.com - He will not allow the article to be edited to show that chilled Acetone is a very efficient extraction method because this is the same one he uses for making his own enhanced leaf and does not want anyone else to catch on how good it is because it is the most efficient for the amount of work required to extract and refine salvinorin. Hot high proof Ethanol will work just as efficiently as chilled Acetone. I found that the solubility of salvinorin to Acetone chilled down to -15 degrees F. was better than 80 degree F. Ethanol.
