So dispite my highish tolerance to opium tea, dhc etc i still find codeine to be a pretty great buzz leading me to think codeine 6 glucuronide is mostly responsible for the euphoria as it feels very different from just morphine.

However, when i take a dose, anywhere between 180 & 300 mg i feel it within literally 5 minutes, then the next 20 mins are filled with a very pleasant rush that lifts my mood up to the frickin moon, but at 30 mins post ingestion its over & i just feel a little sedated & relieved of some pain issues i have.

No other oral opiate seems to have this rapid up then down, morphine seems to come on slow peaking at about 45 mins & lasting about 3 hours.

How many of you get similar effects? I hear people saying it takes 30 mins to kick in!

I get similiar effects from opiates but I think it just has to do with tolerance that develops with frequent use. I've only tried oxycodone and codeine so I can't really compare to other opiates like morphine but if I take a large dose of codeine or oxycodone the good euphoric effects last around 30mins to an hour after it kicks in and after that the really noticable and euphoric mood lift I initially had is mostly gone and I'm just left with a sedating buzz for a few hours.
 
I have a friend who has a similar relationship with codeine OP and hes a heroin addict... not sure how it all works, i find codeine crappy even when im not physically dependent on opioids. The duration is so short, which is what really annoys me.. i wanna dose and feel good all day, codeine can't achieve this.
 
If you don't want your thread to get closed maybe you should avoid opening with a direct insult to the mod. Just a thought.

Indeed. Just for the record, if you have a legitimate concern with the way a staff member is conducting his business here on bluelight, the appropriate measures to take would be to discuss it with them via private message. If that fails, then contact the appropriate senior moderator/administrator for the forum in question.
 
Yeah, this would be a legitimate thread if you maybe used a different title and didn't open with an insult.

Anyway, regarding your question, I would have to agree. I only felt really good for half-hour to an hour, but the onset and come up is really really nice. That was the main reason I did it. Why this is, I'm not really sure, since it's converted to Morphine by your liver and that's the vast majority of what you feel. But the euphoric effects are indeed much much shorter than morphine. I find smoking weed after the euphoria goes and you just have the body buzz feels pretty rad though.

This was back when I felt anything at all from Codeine though.
 
Whatever dude, many of us know a lot of mods close threads like fucking fire doors.

Anyway i edited it to keep the peace.
 
I have never heard of this happening before lol...

How does it hit you so quick? It has to break down/your stomach has to drop for drugs to take effect.

And isn't codeine a pro-drug?
 
I think he's talking about a cold water extracted batch of Codeine, so it does hit you quicker when it's in solution. Even still, it usually takes at least 15 minutes minutes for me because yes, it is a pro-drug.
 
^ I'm actually on about any form of codeine, 30/500s cwextracted, chewing up those little 60 mg pills. The only form that doesn't hit me so quick is actually codeine linctus suprisingly enough. The linctus somehow lacks the punch pills have likely because its so viscous.

It didnt always hit me so quick, i think it's because my body seems to recognize an opiate straight away & i always take it on an empty stomach.
 
the crack of opiates is hydromorphone for sure.. good strong high with no legs.
haven't taken codeine since i was 12-13 so i really don't remember what it was like.. i unfortunately started on OC's methadone, dope and suboxone so my tolerance was too high. :| (not dick sizing)
so you could be right, but i just figure since it is a pro drug to morphine it would act as morphine after the change.
 
I know what you're saying about the "rush" from codeine, but I've only gotten it from liquid codeine with promethazine. Insufflated oxycodone hcl (roxicodones, no apap content) is the crack of opiates ime, great speedy, warm, euphoric opioid rush, but doesn't carry on too much longer after the initial rush
 
I find that if I take too much codeine (>400mg), the psychological part of the high becomes dysphoric despite the lack of any negative physical effects.

Threads are certainly considered 'done with and locked' more often then they ever have been in my history visiting OD. For some threads it's appropriate, but it often stifles further on-topic conversation.

With BL's high staff turnover, this is a different forum every couple years, though. It'll be different still in 2013 ;)
 
Generally when the term "the crack of blank" is used, it refers to 1) fast intense onset 2) short duration of action 3) feeling the need to re-dose very shortly after consuming a dose and 4) having the 'ability' to re-dose multiple times to re-live the fast onset, short duration high. Oral Codeine doesn't fit the bill. As mentioned above, IV Hydromorphone is often given the title of 'crack of opiates' because of its strong rush, short duration, feeling the need to take another shot shortly after having had a shot, and having the ability to crush and mix tablets over and over and still getting a rush. Remifentanil (Ultiva) is probably the "perfect" compound for that definition given its 4 minute in vivo half-life no matter how much you've taken. Though I doubt its rush is anything spectacular, the lack of tolerance building means that every shot should 'feel' about the same, even if you spent all day injecting it.
