Ok, so I have some ketamine from a friend. The way he received it was inside some marker pens but some of the ink has stained the powder. Is there anyway to separate the ink from the ketamine.

All suggestions welcome.

Regards,
 
Yuk. If the marker pigments are soluble in diethylether (which is likely) you can wash it with that. Ketamine HCl has a solubility of less than 100ug/ml in ether.

Option number 1:
Draw on a surface the marker sticks to and that won't be dissolved by ether.
If the color comes off, you can proceed, otherwise you will need a different solvent.
Put your ketamine salt into a coffee filter
Pour diethylether through it until all the color is gone.

You should not need all that much solvent, but even if you did you will not dissolve much of your precious drug since diethylether is not very hygroscopic and ketamine is practically insoluble in it.

Option number 2:
If the marker pigment is not soluble in water, which is quite likely, you could remove the ketamine by running water through the coffee filter instead of diethylether. This would be much safer and cheaper. Afterwards you will dry the ketamine again. You won't need more than 2ml of water per 100mg ketamine hcl at room temperature. Make sure to collect all the water in a flat container (can use a glass too, but it will take longer to dry) with a smooth surface. You can also run water through again to wash the remaining ketamine out of the filter once the entire first volume has been collected. Feel free to squeeze every last bit of water out of the filter. When you are done, place your container in a warm dry place until the water has evaporated. If you are planning to inject your ketamine and do not possess 200nm filters, make sure to cover the container whilst allowing for air exchange and place the container somewhere where there is no air movement. Once all the water is gone, scrape up all of your loony dust and blast yourself into the nether zone.

EDIT: This does not belong to the neuroscience/pharmacology board. You should be well aware of that.

This thread is fine here, I don't think he'll get answers as detailed as yours anywhere else on Bluelight.

Ah ok, sorry about that. Edited. Didn't mean to spread bad vibes around this time of year. :D
