Alkaloid Saturation of Water & Alcohol

Theoretically all the poppy tea and cooked flake opium TEK's seem to focus on efficient extraction of the alkaloids from the poppy straw. Specifically, in the CFO TEK, the ratio of 5/1 water to CPS w/v is used.
If understood correctly, this ratio is used as a guide so as not to be wasteful of the CPS.
What if one were willing to be wasteful of the CPS to achieve the maximum saturation of alkaloids in the solution?
Is there a known or experienced theoretical amount or weight to volume ratio of alkaloids that can be dissolved in solution before it is completely saturated?
What is the difference in how much can be dissolved in water versus reasonably pure (195 proof) drinking alcohol?
Obviously there is no concrete answer as one would have to take into account the plant fats and other "un-useables" in the solution as well. But the idea is to work with a CPS that is as saturated with alkaloids as possible, and to have a general idea as to what that concentration is.
Archie realizes these questions are likely similar to "How much should SWIM take" and "How much CFO can I get from this pod".
Archie's no chemist, but he DOES think too much.
Thanks in advance.
