Default Extraction Methods?

How could I make a smokable 15X resin extract of blue lotus, like you can get from the online stores?

Im getting confused by the different methods for different plants - I understand that the active constituents of blue lotus or soluble in Alchohol, So which method would be required? How would I get it to 15X, and how would I make it into the smokable powder?

The more I look the more I get confused and you guys know your stuff here, so I figure i'll just ask my direct question.

any help appreciated.

I'm no expert on extractions but if the active ingredients are soluable in alcohol you would want to soak say 14 grams in alcohol then filter it out and put the mixture onto a gram of dried leaf and let it dry off. In theory you should then have 15X. Do some searches for making salvia extracts, I'm prettys sure that would basically be the same idea.

This would be better handled at Lab Tips.

So Away we go...
