Just found this excellent video on YouTube that explains the process of adding citric to #3 heroin.
I wish I'd had access to resources like this back in the day.
I rarely inject, but I make solution the same way for nasal use. She WAY over-acidified & you don’t need heat - just converts more to morphine, & dissolves more of the cuts/plant matter. I’ve NEVER seen #3 that makes a translucent solution with no obvious cuts, not even with loads of HCl & heat. I use the barest amount of acid to dissolve most of the h (solution shouldn’t smell acidic, & you can see when it stops reacting), let it sit for at least 15 minutes in a V shaped shot glass, then remove the translucent solution from the top. I’ll use more acid + water to get the last bit out then use that rinse (after 1 prior rinse with just water) to make the next batch - assuming it’s the same stuff of course. I don’t make up more than a few days worth at a time because it converts to morphine in solution.
I bet the h % dropped so much in the more acidic sample not just bc of over acidification, but bc it got heated twice. And she was really gentle in heating it - I see most junkies heat it much more usually (& often necessary to get all the cuts to dissolve), too. And they definitely over acidify.
