First: really fun video! :) Second: you should consider getting a Soxhlet extractor; the solvent efficiency of your extraction step would probably have been improved considerably by using one. You probably also lost quite a bit of your yield percentage to your final filtration step since the total yield is already quite small; in your place, I probably would have redissolved the theobromine in an appropriate solvent directly from the filtration funnel and recrystallized it. Edit: looks like some folks beat me to the punch with the Soxhlet extractor comment. You shouldn't need to mix the cocoa with anything to get the extractor to drain, though; any sufficiently fine filter paper ought to do the trick as long as you don't let it block the draining tube.

I can't believe I'm saying this but meth isn't *that* bad for humans. It's our tendency to get carried away with it because it's a quick hitting stimulant that allows you to stay awake. It doesn't feel unhealthy despite its rep but it puts a big strain on your heart, during the high you feel pain and pressure where your heart is but it's not that bothersome. When people stay up all the time, get addicted to it and shit. They end up getting meth mouth, skinny cheeks, lost the way of life, fuck others and themselves over etc. What starts off harmless quickly turns into a habit that completely degenerates you. That is why it's so harmful. It's not all that toxic compared to Adderall and caffeine if you were able to use it responsibly which I do not know anyone who does.

A couple of questions here: For the first step, neutralising the tannins, do you think zinc oxide would work as effectively as magnesium oxide? Then for the extraction step, if the theobromine isn't all that soluble in the DCM, wouldn't it be better to use a soxhlet extractor? The design of which means that you're constantly extracting the solids over and over again with freshly distilled solvent until all the soluble components are in solution.

soxhlet extractors aren´t that cheap. probably Nile doesn´t have one otherwise you´re right a soxhlet is perfect for extractions but also only for the first step.

(or they can be used for better yields in ether synthesis, but there i have to take Nurdrages video as a reference. i got quite some talking from my organics prof when i asked for the soxhlet.

But technically it's legal in the US (except in Illinois), there was apparently an exemption in the CSA for it: under the CSA, all optical isomers of listed Schedule II opiates are automatically Schedule II substances. Since dextromethorphan is an optical isomer of the Schedule II opiate levomethorphan (but does not act like an opiate), an exemption was necessary to keep it a non-controlled substance. The Federal Analog Act does not apply to dextromethorphan because a new drug application has been filed for it. But that's Wikipedia, so... Don't bet your free life on it.
