LSA Extraction Plan

I ordered 100 HBWR seeds and I'd like to extract the good stuff from them to keep in a vial of some sort. Here's what I plan to do to the seeds. Please tell me if there is a step that could potentially cause problems.
1) Scrap the woody outer part off (http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/7520736#7520736)
2) soak the ground up seeds overnight in zippo fluid.
3) Strain the seed mush out of the fluid and throw out any remaining fluid
4) Let the mush dry until ALL the zippo fluid has evaporated. They should be completely dry and have no smell of zippo fluid on the them.
5) Add peppermint oil to make the LSA more stable. I'm not sure how much oil to add for 50 seeds. Any guess and does this step really do anything helpful? From what I understand, this step is supposed to make the end result better.
6) Add mush to 250ml everclear - For example you have 50 hbwr seeds. 5 seeds is approximately one dose. So 50 seeds is approximately 10 doses. Add 50 seeds to 250 ml's of everclear. Divide 250 by 10 and it works our that 25ml is one dose.

Sounds good.
I made an LSA extract back in high school where I put in mint oil just to mask the flavor the first time; it was a really good experience. I was never able to get effects as good since then. Sounds like this LSH thing might be why.
Here's my thought on the peppermint oil: you probably don't want to go more than half a drop per fluid oz of everclear, or 4-5 drops for 250 ml. You might be able to go as high as 10, but it's going to start burning on the way down.
Also, 250 mL sounds like a good amount to use for 100 seeds, but not necessarily for 50 seeds. I think if you put 50 seeds into 250 mL everclear, you'd get a higher alcohol:lysergides ratio than you want. With 100 seeds in 250 mL, a 5 seed dose works out to roughly half a fluid oz, or half a standard pony shot of everclear, which has an alcohol content roughly equal to a full shot of hard liquor.

Good post. I just got the supplies I need and I'm about to try this. Only question, will 75.5% alcohol everclear do the trick?

I expect 75.5% would work fine, LSA is water soluble. You might pull a little bit more plant gunk, but it shouldn't be a big issue.

Awesome. Other teks I read make a big deal out of 95% alcohol, which I can't get around here. Thanks for the info.
Looks like I'll be downing a very interesting shot tomorrow.

Final question, should the mush be separated from the everclear before it is consumed?

Of course man. Your trying to make a tincture, not chasing down crud with alcohol. If you let it soak in the everclear long enough, there will be no need to eat the mush.

I've got the powder in a bowl. I have some walmart zippo fluid and I don't know how much to put in. Should I soak it completely and filter it later? I sprayed enough to get it moist a few hours ago, but it hasn't dried out. Any advice?

Assuming you've tested that your zippo fluid evorates cleanly, yeah, pour in enough to completely cover them and stir everything around. The zippo fluid shouldn't (hopefully) pick up any of the LSA, so after letting it sit, just pour off as much as you can, then let the seed mush dry out completely before proceding to the polar extraction. I seem to recall reading somewhere zippo fluid may actaully snag some of your LSA, not 100% sure. VM&P naphtha is the way to go.

Christ, I tripped incredibly hard. I took half a shot glass and then had another have shot 50 minutes later. It ended up being something beautiful. I feel like I saw the end of the rabbit hole, and my quest for understanding of myself.
As far as the psychedelic qualities go, it was a better trip than 1/8th of cubes. I felt kind of drunk due to the everclear and the body load was unpleasant until about 2.5 hours in. After that it was all the goodness of life in front of your eyes. I drank the first shot at 1pm and I'm still tripping quite hard.
