Mescaline soluble in paraffin?

[Ontherooftops]

Swim tried posting a similar thread in chem forum, but wasn't sure if it posted and wants to ask anywhere he can anyway. But can paraffin defat be used for cactus extract?

Paraffin's are waxes and long carbon chains. Paraffin is actually one of the alternate names of kerosene. These are non-polar substances and could be used as a substitute for xylene.

I strongly recommend using "low oder" paint thinner, which is similar to paraffin in structure, as a substitute for xylene. Xylene is highly carcinogenic because it is so similar to the purines and pyrimidines in your DNA, thus interfering with DNA synthesis. Since "low oder" paint thinner is a simple carbon chain, it's much more well tolerated by the body if their is an accidental exposure.

Nobody should ever use xylene if they can avoid it.
