I mean putting the condensate back to the system from which it originated aka refluxing is neither rocket science nor does it involve huge costs, so I'm wondering why they fail to do that? Same with turning amines like heroin base to its salt form. Those mofos in afghanistan could perform this simple and cheap step to get Heroin#4 so I wonder why they don't do it. That always bothered me back when I used heroin because I knew that I could get more bang for my buck if the producers weren't so lazy.
Perhaps another question: would it make sense to perform a recrystallization to purify ones heroin? Kind of like the acetone wash method that is used to purify amphetamine sulphate. Any idea which organic solvents would be effective for that purpose? I thought about benzene or maybe ether. Unfortunately I didn't find any information on which solvents are used in the lab to purify diacetylmorphine after its synthesis.

Hey deficit shmeficit, just so you know, I'm not asking for any drug synthesis guide. This question is purely in the interest of safer use, similar to how speed is "washed" with acetone in order to get rid of toxic byproducts and certain cuts. Also, I'm not using heroin anymore since I'm in maintenance, so this question is, in addition to safer use, fuelled by educational curiosity. If it still violates the BLUA, then please go ahead and crucify my post. We can then burn my post alive, dance around it in circles and listen joyfully to its painful screams *laughs maniacally*
