A transmucosal psychoactive alkaloid composition including a psychoactive alkaloid extract or synthetic psychoactive alkaloid. The alkaloids in the extract are predominantly dephosphorylated rather than phosphorylated. The transmucosal psychoactive alkaloid composition also includes a mucoadhesive polymer, a carrier, and optional further excipients. The non-ingestive composition may be taken orally through the mucosa. A process for obtaining an oral transmucosal psychoactive alkaloid composition includes dephosphorylating the alkaloid during extraction, purifying the extracted alkaloid and standardizing to a specific concentration by adding measured quantities of excipients.
