Yeah, I do not see any reason for 10mg XR morphine dose units to exist. One can BUY 20mg IR morphine over the counter FFS, in the form of J.collis.browne's mixture.
One bottle, even without tolerance, my only opioid use at the time being codeine linctus, or Gee's, if I happened to walk past a pharmacy that I knew had them, or terpin and codeine, occasionally DHC 30s.
So IMO that is definitely not taking BA into account. 20-25% of 10mg is just 2-2.5mg actually acting in vivo, per os, and any medic would know if they knew that figure, that much morphine is negligible. Its the same as charging more for co-codamol IMO, a scam, codeine is worth fuck all, in terms of production costs. And a fundamental med in any country, basic, cheap shit even african peasantry could be supplied with at a price that befits their income, and not be rendered victim of any further than already extant poverty, if medical aid groups were so inclined.
No tolerance, 10mg IV morphine was fuck all too for that matter. Same goes for twice that. With my current tolerance, for an average shot, I'd go for a ten strip of 30s, plus maybe between 40 and 60mg nasal oxy(codone, IR, lynlor/shortec. Too much powder for my liking, but hey, beggars can't be choosers. I get the 10mg oxy caps, and both 10 and 30mg morphine XRs, whassitcalled...the capsules with microbeads inside that prep really well for IR IV use, or at least they do if you have any veins that ain't been put to the torch by shooting way too many 10g bags of MXE, 4-MeO-PCP, 3-MeO- and 3-OH-PCP (although the 3-OH not in such large amounts, it's potent, and was expensive, although logically it oughtn't to be, as one would probably be methylating the 3-OH compound to get 3-MeO-PCP, and that would mean additional costs by way of methyl iodide, dimethyl sulfate, or other such methylating agents, Me2SO4 I'd guess based on price differential, MeI being quite expensive, and poor atom economy, as iodine has a really high molecular weight, although it is at least a lot less noxious than Me2SO4, dimethyl sulfate scares the shit out of me, whereas I've not got a problem with making, distilling and using methyl iodide. It's toxic, but not so hideous as Me2SO4. That said, I'm working on personal projects, where I'll make it out of methanol, iodine and a catalytic quantity of red phosphorus to form PI3 in-situ, and iodine is a lot cheaper to buy than MeI itself, methanol dirt cheap, and red phosphorus, I've only occasional need for it, for making other phosphorus reagents, or making the likes of MeI, bought 2kg a couple of years ago and I've barely scratched one of the 4x500g tubs it came in. and I'd be using at most 100s of ml of methyl iodide in a synthesis, not 100s of kg like some chinese RC factory might if they went that way)
So one would expect, logically, 3-OH-PCP to be cheaper than any 3-alkoxy-substituted PCP derivative. But no, much more pricy.
Either way, those, put together, buggered my veins for the most part, especially coming out of a hole, and shooting with a 28g point, whilst still...not holing, but wankered as a politician factory in a whorehouse doubling as an MDPV production plant.
Edit-I get those 10mg XR caps as mentioned, along with my 30s, and they have two uses and two only. A single shot, the entire box (meant to take 2xdaily), or a small amount of morphine I can save up, or use other opioids to allow me to skip that one tiny shot, and employ it for research and development projects once extracted from the XR matrix, such as pilot-scale tests of hitherto untasted esters, desomorphine when I get round to performing the second step, reduction of alpha-chloromorphide. Tried it once, only got to the chloromorphide, via SOCl2 chlorination, but decided I had to test the chloromorphide on myself, because I'd found nothing online other than a wikipedia statement of 10x morphine' and little else.)
(for those curious, it, at least, the reaction product of thionyl chloride chlorination of morphine, as the sulfate salt to protect the amine from forming an N-haloamine, which are usually unfriendly little buggers) it was NOT a '10x potency compared to morphine' opioid. At least not a MOR agonist.
It could alleviate the worst of MOR agonist WD, but only ameliorate it, at any safe dose, perhaps slight MOR agonism but this wasn't qualified via radioligand displacement assay, but rather, it was a psychostimulant, effects purely cerebral, no physical cardio/adrenergic push, none at all. But over a certain dose, it appears that it would be a convulsant, experimentation of stepwise dose increases, delivered via injection IM, as the sulfate, were terminated after the reproducible development of clonus of the extremities, hands, feet, that were definitely the product of taking the chloromorphide.
Very, very weird stuff. Not unpleasant, I'd like to try it again, of course in sub-convulsant doses, I KNOW I'd have gone into full-blown seizure if I'd pushed it further, but below that it was quite pleasant, and definitely interesting. I'd like to bioassay it again whilst not withdrawing from morphine/oxy. The seizure part, the beginnings showed themselves every time a certain threshold was exceeded of the chloromorphide, and I already have seizures, the sensations accompanying the overshooting of that threshold, were very similar to the warning 'aura' I often get when I am about to experience a seizure (unprovoked by any drug or toxin)
