==Solvent==

Certain psychoactive substances (particularly benzodiazepines) are practically insoluble in water, but will dissolve at various concentrations in other easy-to-acquire solvents, such as alcohol, [http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Propylene+glycol propylene glycol], or [http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=glycerine&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aglycerine glycerine].

However, even when added to the correct solvent type the solution may need a mild hot water bath or agitation to get a homogeneous solution. The substance may precipitate out of the solution and the process of light heat/agitation may need to repeated again. Always check your solutions for precipitates before using it.

The first important consideration is the maximum concentration at which your chosen solvent will dissolve your product. A value can usually be found with minimal effort on the internet, using a search term like "''<material> <solvent> solubility''".

Alcohol in particular is mixable with most solvents; Just a few drops is usually enough to increase the maximum concentration dramatically, even when using water as the major component.

Adding a small amount of acid (lemon juice, vinegar, etc) to certain solutions can also increase the solute's solubility in the solvent.
