"The pure compound salvinorin A is active at 200 - 500 mcg when vaporized and inhaled. Since very few people have the costly equipment necessary to accurately weigh anything close to this small an amount, it is inevitable that people will try to visually estimate the dose. Unfortunately there is little room for error before the effects become potentially dangerous. When the dose goes above 500 - 1000 mcg the effects can be very alarming, I have seen several people get up and lunge around the room falling over furniture, babbling incomprehensible nonsense and knocking their heads into walls. Several people have tried to wander out of the house. When the experience is over they have no memory of any of this. In fact they usually remember very different events. To an outside observer people in this condition have a blank look in their eyes as if no one is present (and perhaps no one is). It is also common for people to have a facial expression which is probably best described as being like that of a frightened animal. It appears that at these "larger" doses one completely loses awareness of, and control over, the physical body and for some reason part of the brain causes the body to get up and move about recklessly while the individual has no awareness of where their physical body is or what it is doing. It seems inevitable that one of these days some careless person will do too large a dose without a sitter and will wander out in the street, or hurt themselves in some way."

Follow this link:
http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/salvinorin2003
Then click on the icon that says “IPA Extra…”
Next click the icon that says “Salvinor…”
And then your there, the extraction process is scanned in as a photo labeled “Extracti…” with more info under “Crystal…”, and there are lots of crystal pictures.
I will try to upload the photos, but it may be a job for the Mods or Admin since I am bad at uploading pics and the files are rather large. They may even be able to fix the above long link to work, I have to copy and paste it to my address bar to get there. |

Pic deleted, too big to upload and now I can't get it to load up clearly after shrinking it to be at <=300kb
It was an addition to the above, mainly a more detailed walk through of the extraction, and the fact that bigger crystals form the slower the acetone is evaporated off. |

DANGER
The extract from this process is far too potent to consider for use as a drug. Even 200 mcg (two tenths of a milligram) is strong for some people. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE POWDER. |

room temp 90% IPA extraction of powdered leaf
99 % Isopropanol
100 grams of Salvia Leaf was finely powdered to a flour-like consistency using an inexpensive high RPM Coffee grinder and then soaked in room temperature 99% IPA for 20 minutes.
These little coffee grinders can be found at most large grocery stores or other general stores that carry kitchen items are great for powdering dried Salvia leaf
No matter the brand, they all look like this inside. Do not run the motor more than a minute at a time and let it cool down for a minute between grindings otherwise they get too hot and can burn out..
100g of powdered leaf added to jar of 99% IPA shaken five minutes and then set still to allow the gross leaf particles to settle before pouring the IPA off. Re-extract the leaf 4 to 6 times for 5 min ea. (Dont use Acetone, plastic seal in lid melts)
IPA Extract in flat Pyrex pan
All of the IPA from the multiple extractions were combined together in one container which was left to sit still undisturbed for several hours so that the sediments would have time to settle out of the fluid.
30 min later
30 minutes after pouring the extract in this pan you can see the tannin sediment that is still falling out of the fluid. I wiped a spot clean on the bottom and placed a paper clip there to show that the fluid is still cloudy. Should be clear
Another Hour Later
An hour later I was able to clean the spot off again with very little difference but this is misleading because the fine sediment will continue to fall out for several more hours.
Hour plus after
I took this photograph about 45 minutes after the last one and used my finger again to clean off the spot next to the paper clip already cleaned. You can see that the tannin is still falling out of the liquid.
close up of sediment
IPA Poured Off
I went ahead and poured the IPA into another container to remove the sediment that has fallen out to weigh it, after cleaning it out I put the IPA back for further separation.
IPA After Sediment Removed
Compare the color difference between the IPA in this photograph after the sediment was removed to the first photo before it was removed. It is so much lighter now but sediment will continue to fall out.
12 Hours Later
Twelve hours later I found more tannin sediment in the bottom. I do not know if the remaining sediment fell out in the first hour or two of those 12 hours or the whole time. It was spread out more until I sloshed the fluid around.
Dried 2nd Sediment Separation
I poured the IPA off one more time to remove the last of the Sediment.
Getting Darker
I cleaned the glass pan out and continued to evaporate the ISP. You can see that the fluid becomes darker as its volume is reduced
Pooled IPA Extract
This is the same amount of fluid pooled up into one end of the container, one end of the pan was lifted.

Ready For Transfer
When the IPA evaporates down this far it thickens up quite a bit and the waxes start to come out of the fluid. The liquid should be transferred before the wax starts to precipitate out or becomes small particles.
Transfer into a small bowl
I let the IPA evaporate to about a third or less of the volume shown in the previous photo and transferred it into a small bowl for the final evaporation.
Move to 120 degree F Oven
The bowl of IPA was fan evaporated, when the fluid level was reduced to about 30% of its original volume I moved the bowl to a oven heated to 120 degrees F. to evaporate the remaining fluid without air blowing on it so the Salvinorin would settle.
Close Up Fan Evaporated
The camera flash made the fluid look slightly red.
Dry Extract
The small amount of IPA was then completely evaporated out of the extract in an oven set to 120 deg. F.
Extract
There was plenty of black wax in the dried extract but not as much as I thought would come over.
Bottom of bowl
You can see that the extraction went well by the light colored extract seen in the bottom of the bowl. You can pour Naphtha into the bowl to make it easier to scrape out and then transfer it all into a small vial or jar to wash out waxes
First Naphtha
Use a large enough container so that the dried extract won't take up more than one third the volume. Thoroughly mix in the Naphtha and set aside for 30 minutes then eye dropper off a third of the fluid from the top taking care not to dip too deep
Second Naphtha
After removing a third of the fluid from the first wash and adding more Naphtha for a second wash wait another 30 minutes for the particles to settle in the bottom again before removing Naphtha from the top using an eye dropper.
Third Naphtha
By the second or third wash you should be able to see the crude Salvinorin in the bottom of your container.
Fourth Naphtha Wash
Fifth Naphtha Wash
Sixth Naphtha
The Salvinorin had settled more than in the previous photograph and looks darker than it would otherwise, that and the lighting was not as good in this photo.
Seventh Naphtha
At this point you do not need to clean the extract any further. Cleaning it further with IPA will reduce the yield. The extract is already quite pure enough and very good for enhancing leaf, making tincure or a chew of some kind. It is very potent.
Naptha Wash
The bowl I dried the concentrated IPA extract in, the vial I use to wash waxes out of the crude extract and the green Naptha from the seven washes
Naphtha from Seven Washes
This is all of the Naphtha used in the washes, almost eight ounces. |

First IPA Wash
Be sure to pour out the Naphtha before adding IPA. Each time you clean with IPA you loose some of your Salvinorin. You do not need to clean the extract with IPA, it is pure enough as it is for making enhanced leaf etc. (Extract had settled 1 hour).
Second IPA Wash
I poured out the dark IPA and added clean IPA to remove more of the wax. The vial was shaken for thirty seconds and set down for five minutes before I took this picture and the fine Salvinorin particles are still settling out to the bottom.
Third IPA Wash
The third wash is still settling out. I am going to dry the extract and stop loosing Salvinorin from each wash.
Dried Extract
I stopped washing the Salvinorin and dried it on a Teflon cookie sheet in an oven set to 120 degrees F. You can see that the choloropylls dried on top, as always.
Green Salvinorin
Although the Salvinorin has a green tint to it, it is very concentrated and would not take much more cleaning to turn it completely white. I am estimating that I was able to get 75%+ of the Salvinorin out of the leaf in 20 minutes. 60 would be better
Crystals
Crystals grown from this extract when dissolving all of the powder in about 25 ml of 135-140 degree F. 151 proof Alcohol. I re-heated the Alcohol in this vial with a microwave oven to almost boiling three times before these crystals formed.
Crystal_4
All in all I re-heated/dissolved the crystals in microwave 4 times to grow better formations. Each time you recrystalize you loose some but using a microwave to heat the Alcohol made the losses much greater. It is better to heat it with hot water.
Sediment
Let the IPA (Isopropanol/Isopropyl) stand still for at least eight hours and then pour off the Alcohol and leave the brown sediment behind, wait another eight hours and do it again.
Salvinorin
These four vials show dark crude Salvinorin though white accomplished by multiple washings of Naphtha and IPA. |

oh , this pic was too beautyfull to left out imo
Zoom 520
The brown substance below the crystal formations are sediments that were not completely removed from the extraction after removing waxes.
not to forget , the source of the pics...
Although I do not use my real name my pseudonym is Sphere if you wish to reference who they came from. |
