"seriously didnt like the sound of that water extraction method lol"
Pippin << the extraction technique is easy and it gets most of the paracetamol out of OTC "Pain Tablets," which are better than Nurofen Plus to extract from.
"The N+ side is always codeine."
twonk << not any more. As I understand it, some (older) batches are, the newer ones aren't. I've had some bad experiences with Nurofen+ batches that weren't splittable (i.e. having N+ side codeine).
Too much Ibuprofen makes for a disgusting codeine high if nothing else, but bear in mind the risk of stomach problems. I use recreational doses of 300-500mg... if you do the same it's worth learning how to do the cold water extraction in terms of monetary cost, cost to your health and enjoyment of the high. Codeine goes well with trips, benzodiazepines and cannabis.
