How To Make Salvia Divinorum Extract

[farmboy]

well, really, you can  use anything to soak up the residue out of your bowl of extract. Next time I will use a nugget of some fire weed.  but anyway you look at it, how ever much dried leaf you  extract, thats what "x" you end up with.  If you choose to soak up the residue with 1 gram of salvia, then you add 1 to the "x" factor. But since last time I used already extracted leaf (wich contains no salvorian) then I didn't enclude the 1 in my "x" factor.     Just expirement with it. Thats what I'm doin.  This last batch I made, after my acetone was evap., and I "moped" the bowl with my leaf, I noticed that you can't really get all of the residue out of the bowl.  So while my leaf was drying, I poured about a capfull of acetone back into the bowl and swirled it around and tilted the bowl on its side so the acetone was all in one corner. After it was almost all evaporated, leaving more residue, I moped it up too. It had to help.   Anyhow, its fun and easy.  have fun  man.

Will 91% isopropyl alcohol work?
Theres no impurities. just water.

I wouldn't use it. I've spent many hours researching this, and If you want good extract, you use acetone.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is acetone harmful in this situation? like does smoking the extract after evaporating the acetone contain any harmful chemicals etc?

well, I couldn't swear to it, but scientist use it in lab's all the time to extract things. They just use lab grade acetone, and not hardware store grade. lol   It has no smell or taste after the leaf is dry.  I researched this alot before I done it

Okay.  I just want to be sure I'm not being mean to my lungs any more than necessary to use extract.
