You are the mod though so delete/move is of course your choice.
My organic chemistry is incredibly rusty, so be nice

. I just love this topic though. There are so many facets of science involved in working with lysergamides. MG is underrated in my opinion, and the amount of literature available about these compounds is truly massive, which gives us much to work from and tweak.
What do you guys think about preforming this extraction:
1. grind up seeds in low light environment, preferably low temperature also.
2. add a mixture of ether and a baking soda solution, enough to cover seeds, but not excessively.
3. shake/stir a few times (allowing to sit for extended period of time may help)
4. allow phases to separate
5. save ether layer, and discard baking soda solution layer
6. Allow ether to evaporate (stream of inert if you got it lol)
7. place crude extract from step 6 in a mixture of ether and citric acid solution
8. repeat step 3
8. remove citric acid solution
9. drink citric acid solution (don't get sick??)
or maybe
1. cover ground seeds with citric acid solution
2. add ether/drain ether a couple times to wash
3. separate ether from citric acid solution
3. adjust citric acid solution to pH 8 with baking soda solution
4. add mystery solvent
5. drain mystery solvent
6. evaporate mystery solvent (inert stream if possible)
7. eat concentrated lysergic goo
note: Maybe someone could a readily available solvent system. Best would probably be DCM of CHCl3, but you know.
Also:
1. Cover ground seeds with ethanol
2. evaporate ethanol
3. add residue to citric acid solution and naphtha
4. drain naphtha and save citric acid solution
5. basify citric acid solution to pH 8 with baking soda solution
6. add same mystery solvent from outline 2 to grab lysergamides
7. evaporate mystery solvent
8. eat perfectly shaped and clean crystals
edit: well isn't this nice:

maybe limonene could be our mystery solvent, but that has a pretty high boiling point
