Read Arcy's guide.  I just got out of work and I'm too tired to find the link right now.

Arcys Guide:   http://www.salviasource.org/forum/methods-of-use/the-penultimate-salvinorin-a-extraction-guide/0/

And, if you want, you could contribute some information to my thread on salvia leaf resin content:   http://www.salviasource.org/forum/methods-of-use/the-penultimate-salvinorin-a-extraction-guide/0/

You can get acetone from any hardware store, Follow Arcys guide to get the extract, and then re-deposit it on to leaf again to create a 10x extract. What a 10x extract is, is the extracted resin from 9 grams of plain leaf put back onto 1 gram of plain leaf, making it 10 times more powerful. So if you wanted to make 10x with your 2oz's of leaf(I'll assume thats 60 grams of leaf to make things even) you would extract the resin from 54 grams of your leaf, and put it onto the remaining 6 grams of non-extracted leaf, giving you 6 grams of 10x extract.

Finally, this forum is a great resource for salvia knowledge. Seiberts guide is a good read, as is the wikipedia article on salvia. What I did was google salvia and related terms(salvinorin A, divinorum, salvia botany, houseplants...) and just clicked link after link, trying to soak up everything there was to offer on the sage. Came up with some great stuff.

Hope to hear how it goes..

Well, if you have 2oz of leaf, you've got about 140mg of Salvinorin A to work with (56g * 2.5 = 140).

A single gram of 10x needs 25mg of Salvinorin A (10 x 2.5)... Therefore, you can make about 5.6g of 10x.

The easiest way to do this, would be to:

1. Shred your leaf. Either by hand (rip it into small chunks) or with a blender (so it's a powder). I recommend just using your hands.

2. Put your shredded leaf in a large GLASS! (Not plastic!) jar, and cover it with acetone. You want the level of acetone to be about 1" higher than the level of the shredded/powdered leaf.

3. Let this sit for 25m.

4. Then, get another jar, and pour off the acetone mixture, making it so as few leaves pass through into the acetone liquid as possible. Keep about 10-20g of leaf and the acetone, throw the rest away. If you have any coffee filters, you can pour the green acetone through a coffee filter, making sure to collect it in another glass jar. This really helps make the resulting product less harsh.

5. Set this acetone aside, and let it evaporate down to almost nothing. When it's at about 10% of it's original volume (it should be almost black now), pour it off into a small glass or steel bowl. China won't work.

6. Take about 5g of the leaf left over from step 4 (weigh it) and add it to the rest of the acetone from step 5.

7. Now, let all the acetone evaporate so there's absolutely none left in the bowl. The 5g of leaf left in the bowl should have about 25mg of Salvinorin in it, per gram.

8. Let it sit out in the bowl for 3 days, to make sure no acetone is left in the leaf.

9. Enjoy

Acetone can be used to make a 20X SD resin that can be re-saturated onto SD leaf. Cleaning of the extract would not be needed for a 10X SD extract.

BTW, acetone is available in most hard-ware stores. However, do a vaporization off of glass to make sure that the acetone is pretty clean, for I've heard that there are cheaper brands that can have impurities in them.
