Grapefruit and promethazine

[FONT=wf_segoe-ui_normal]I usually take promethazine but I keep reading that grapefruit is brilliant for extending the High?[/FONT]

[FONT=wf_segoe-ui_normal]Q2) [/FONT]
[FONT=wf_segoe-ui_normal]So I?m a little confused on the matter , some people say to take twenty minutes before , where as some people say to take at same time as dosing codeine ? Where as other say 20 mins after ?? [/FONT]

[FONT=wf_segoe-ui_normal]Also stupid question but dos it matter what variety and is pure juice better then concentrated?[/FONT]

Cross posting is against the rules I believe (when you make the same post in multiple sub forums). Just be patient, more people will respond to your original thread in BDD (basic drug discussion).

I just replied to your other thread. As far as I understand, using grapefruit juice to potentiate codeine is not a good idea because you don't want the grapefruit juice to inhibit the conversion of codeine to morphine.
 
^ This, I'm pretty sure this post will be closed

Regarding your question: most of the effects of codeine come from the metabolites morphine and codeine-6glucuronide and you need CYP2D6 for the metabolism into morphine, so blocking it by drinking grapefruit juice will decrease the effects of codeine, not increase them
