Nice Codeine Megathread

I used to live in a small town in Cheshire with 8 pharmacies within 4 miles, all along my walking and bus routes - I'd pick up 2 boxes on the way to the bus stop, get off the bus 3 minutes later and get another 3 boxes, jump back on the bus for 20 minutes, pick up another 2 boxes, back on the bus for 5 minutes and then pick up my final box.
It was perfect for my needs. £4 for a daily bus pass, £1.20 per box (on average) meant I had the equivalent of 200mg of Morphine for £13.60.

Is like that here. Three in the same shopping centre and then two supermarket pharmacies, all on bus route so one day rider for three quid and then however much the codeine costs. Fuck I might do that today actually.

I had some...not last week, week before, and it seemed no matter how many different filters I used, it just kept getting clouded up. Ended up binning half of it and just drinking what was clear or close to clear because fuck spending four hours on an extraction. Before that I'd managed perfect one in about two hours from grinding the tabs up to drinking it. Stuff really is hit or miss with me but definitely a good idea to spread the filtering across a few different glasses. More washing up but hey.
 
I don't bother with cwe anymore, as I'm just too paranoid to put my faith in the chemistry. Every little twinge in the side over the next three days is guaranteed to be the first signs of liver failure. 8(

I'll just stick to sugar free linctus.

I'd like to do that but recently I've been finding it really hard to drink. Like I used to be able to down it and now I sip it over the course of god knows how long or I'll spew.

Hilariously I'm fine with the extraction despite occasional paranoia as you say but I'm fairly sure I'm not getting a deadly amount of paracetamol due to being alive and not doing it too often.
 
I'm fine with the extraction on the basis that it's basic chemistry and as long as the water is properly cold and you're not using pints of the stuff it's more or less impossible to fuck up an extraction as far as I can see. Aside from the filter splitting and you somehow not noticing maybe. Bit of a long shot, although squeezing the filter cos you're rushing it has a not dissimilar effect.
 
is it worth the bother? I'd say not for me as I always have my script, but I do look for the time when I'm not mad into the gear and fancy a lil buzz without the risk of the heroin creeping back in.
 
Well, obviously whether or not it's worth the bother is highly individual. For me it was always worth it (don't do it now due to script) but I've always gotten along well with codeine. If you're looking for a "replacement" for other/stronger opies then you're likely to be disappointed, but if you take it for what it is - just lil ol' codeine - then it's a good, cheap and effective way to get recreational levels of codeine without a script. Codeine linctus being the other option but that can be a bit tricky to source in sufficient quantity unless it really is a once in a blue moon kinda thing. Make sure to have an antihistamine on hand cos the histamine release from codeine is just nuts - most intense I've had from any opi.

As to whether it risks heroin creeping in on the codeinated coattails, again that's gonna be highly individual. For me, I have used heroin very occasionally since quitting and never let it become a problem and have stuck to one-off uses (or perhaps over a day or two as I opt to buy a gramme for preference, but will leave months - if not years - between uses). It's obviously a risk for anybody who has history of opiate addiction, but for me it's so different that I just don't compare the two. It's certainly possible to become addicted to codeine itself though and I could definitely see a risk of escalating should that happen. Obvious solution being to keep codeine use occasional and strictly recreational - a day of warm 'n' fuzzies once in a while and that's it.
 
I take your various points re the chemistry of cwe, however sometimes it does leave me with a bruised feeling in my right side the following day. Drinking booze has a similar effect so maybe my liver is a little under the weather. I've since cut out all paracetamol and alcohol so hopefully any damage will be repaired.
 
I have a few questions :)

I started to take 2/3 of a box of codein and the rest after a few hours. 1 or 2 / month, for approximately one year.
After this I started abusing GBL and took codein once a week max at 300mg during maybe 2 years. Stopped GBL.
Fast without 60mg DXM with my codein I wasn't felling anything apart physical bodyload. I had little moment of increasing use (max 2 time a week during exams) but keep it principally to max 1time a week (sometime 2 weeks, rarelly 3 weeks), always 300mg with 60mg DXM.

I never felt a comedown during this 3/4 year of use, but now when I use codein at my habitual dosage, I feel anxious an a little bit depressed. That's not really the problem, the problem is that this little usage de concentrate myself from university and housework, and that is the major factor of stress of my life.

So my question is : Is it normal to feel depressive, have lack of libido, fatigue and motivation from just 300mg codein once a week? Or is it too low dosage to see the begining of physical dependence, and my problems aren't principally caused by codein?

I take DXM or other dissociatives maybe 2 time a month max.

I'm a bit ashamed to feel so disrupted by a so little usage. Maybe i'm totally wrong and codein isn't a big factor in me feeling real low.

(sorry for my approximative English, I'm aware that it isn't well written)

I tried to end totally my use many times, because codein isn't my drug of choice and i don't really like it (maybe more than I think...). But after like a few weeks spent with meditation, sport and great work and good moral at uni, I'm starting to feel exausted, and I crave codein escape especially when I'm exausted. So i start again at once codein a week, feel more and more depressed, stop sport, stop meditation, my desire to read decrease, so my desire to socialise...

For me, the principal urge to take drug come from this feeling of exhaustion that come from to little sleep. I feel that if I manage to never feel that tired, I could stop using this drug totally, but never succeeded in 5/6 attempts. I feel a little bit trapped, my use isn't totally out of control, but I can't stop using and it's a little bit frightening. My last semester was shitty because of this, and I feel that have to take codein increase anxiety and stress for nothing, and decrease my life quality.

Any advice greatly appreciated!

hi guys, i took 4 pills of 30mg codeine with 300 mg of paracetamol

so is 1200mg of paracetamol too much ?
 
No, only 200mg over.

You will be fine.

Learn how to do a Cold Water Extraction, loads of threads how on BL.
 
This will have been asked in this thread but I'm lazy and wanting a quick answer.. last time I had some co-codamol (total 25mg codeine, tiny amount, though I do usually need around half usual dosages for anything) I ended up with a rash on my hands but an anti-histamine took care of it.

I know itching's expected, but as for the rash.. is that a normal histamine reaction, or am I likely actually allergic and should probably avoid? Ta.
 
I'm not entirely sure. I've had reactions like that at higher dosages, especially round areas where I have tattoos for some reason, but I don't really know the actual answer. The symptoms of actual allergic reactions compared to the normal histamine reaction are obviously gonna be kinda the same, but that is a tiny amount to produce that reaction. Dunno how you'd find out for sure, though.
 
Hmm, ta muchly! It was for pain rather than recreation, so I should possibly speak to my doctor and see if I get sommat else prescribed.
 
I think allergic reactions will happen at any dose whereas the histamine reactions are dose-related, so you might be allergic considering the small amount

I dont think you should get a histamine rash on 25mg
 
Cheers folks.. I was kinda expecting people to say that. :!

Did I say "Bah!"? Yeah. Bah.
 
I been messing around with paramol alot lately, i noticed the iodine oxide or the white shit that doesent filter well. Well when you do an extraction it no looks no different to a codiene one up untill the point you have to squeeze the final bit you end up just squeezing this chemical into the final product. So i just dont bother with the last bit and it looks barely any different to a codiene one

If i squeeze the last bit it forces the white shit in to your extraction and with in about 30 seconds you can have a clear extraction turn pretty white
