thanks! ive read a bunch of very complex guides, this helped it all make sense.
btw how are the fumes involved in doing this? is it going to smell up my house nicely? im wondering if it would be best to setup a little workstation in the garage.

Any time you open a can of xylol, it's going to stink.
Do it all outside if possible.
And don't underestimate the lye fumes, either. It's best to mix that stuff into quart jars and wait until they cool. (Or wait 3X if you only have one quart jar to mix the lye and water in. You could do it in the jug, but it can actually damage the glass and make it brittle.)
Here's another picture...

Wow, nice pile! Looks a lot of crystals, that from 100g right?
Forms nice crystals too, better than the HCl salt.

would this be a good dosage chart to follow with mescaline citrate? What are the effects of 2 00? Also can anyone recommend a good place to get the supplies for all this?

Just play around with the citrate doses and see how it goes

This method is no different from all the other ones other than that it uses citric acid instead of hydrochloric

so could I just replace the citric acid with hcl? or does the amount change?

I give it a for being a relatively benign procedure for non-chemists, but hydrochloric or sulfuric acids yeild a more dosable product.

Yeah, you could switch out citric acid with HCl or sulfuric acid. The only thing that changes is the dosage numbers.

so I still use 1/2 a teaspoon? well then I at least give him the credit of making the tek sound simple. all the ones I've looked at involving hcl made things seem a whole lot more complicated than they actually were. So hcl it is then for me.

Well here it is in a couple sentences:
Add powdered cactus skin to lye water, shake it up. Add xylene or similar solvent, shake it up real good. Let separate and sit, then pour off solvent layer. Add solvent to acidic water in a sep funnel, shake up, drain water, evaporate, done.

I've used 5 ml HCl per liter or so of water 
As long as its a small amount like that, you don't need much.

Yes, ask for muriatic acid.

With this tek, I wanted to present a simple, straightforward recipe that one could follow as if he were making cookies. If you want to change it up, you're going to have to do some reading. Look through more teks to know how to calculate the amount of acid you need to add.
When the precipitated mescaline citrate crystals are collected and separated from the water (like I did this time in order to get good crystals for the pictures), I am sure the dose will be more standardized. The reason the citrate doses can vary is because if you are quick and sloppy with it, you can go heavy on the citric acid to make sure you get all the mescaline out of the cactus that there is to be had, and evaporate it all, not just the crystals that precipitate out. This will leave you with extraneous citric acid and all the extra alkaloid salts. It will not harm you, but some of that is just added filler that will alter dosage.
Because the theory of crystal formation involves the most concentrated compound crystalizing first, the resulting product from this is fairly pure mescaline citrate. To acieve the same purity of the mescaline salt from the typical technique involving total evaporation of all alkaloids, you would need to dissolve and recrystallize, regardless of the acid used. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recrystallization
BTW, putting the collection jar into the fridge for a couple of hours will really make the crystals start coming out like snowflakes. Here's a picture. 
And yes, the picture in the previous post was the pile that came from 100g. There's more alkaloid-rich water that the crystals came out of that I haven't evaporated yet, but that won't look as good I'm sure.
Also worth mention is the fact that the collected crystals dry much more quickly than the whole acid water/mescaline & alkaloid mix. There's no waiting 2-3 days as with evaporating the entire solution. When the water is gone, it is completely dry. And, no thick syrup involved (as can be the case if the acid level is too high).
