I know the article. I tried it in my home garage using isopropanol, but it didn't work. Or do I also need to add gas? I ground dried Ephedra into a powder and used isopropanol directly. I heated it to 30-35°C and let it sit for a day. It turned into a bright green liquid, but I couldn't progress further. Thank you for your response.

I have never made it but i think you have to filtrate your liquid and after that to distill the isopropanol and after that acidify the extract of your plants with HCI .

I don't know anything about acidifying with HCl. Can you help me with this? Is hydrochloric acid the same as "tuz ruhu"? How can I acidify with HCl?

of course you have to do it with HCI , Ph 5,5-5,8 and you get ephedrine hydrochlorid.

Do I need to provide HCl in gas form, or can I use hydrochloric acid?
