Method for removing "methyl ester" from lysergic acid methyl ester?

well i happen to know ambien(sleeping aid) contains Lysergic Acid Methyl Ester... well that's what i heard anyway, please tell me if im wrong :). so i have devised a method for getting rid of all the binders and crap, so im guessing im gonna be left with semi pure Lysergic Acid Methyl Ester. out of purely just being curious on how you could remove the methyl ester or even just if you can, im asking this question to see if anyone can figure this out for me :)... and yes i know that what i will be left with is illegal in Australia considering its closely related to Diethylamine Lysergic Acid, and is used in the production of it, but there is no law against just being curious :)... since i dont have the chemist degree or equipment to even bother with making anything illegal and have no intention of it. so im pretty much saying im not gonna bother taking in anything that you say that is about this being a "stupid question" or you giving me a "your a douchebag for making it" speech. i will only read and greatly appreciate a good method on doing this or a link to help me out. :).
