This is one of the only methods I've read about for "cleaning" dope. Maybe Sekio could take a look at it and determine if a substantial amount gets lost.
Street Heroin purification to nearly USP:
Diacetylmorphine (heroin) can exist in two forms, an insoluable base, or a soluable salt.
Often it contained alot of other agents like pieces of broken glass, pieces of foil, dirt,
wood, metal, mannitol, lactose, maltose, sand, you get the idea. The first stage of the
process I used was to make sure the diacetylmorphine (heroin) I received was totally
converted to a soluable hydrochloride salt. The heroin I usually received was a brown
powdered heroin, sometimes off white, very little vinegar smell. Today all you can find is
a black crud that reeks with a vinegar odor. The way I made sure it was a soluable salt
was to drop enough 28% hydrochloric acid to make it wet. This insured that I would not
waste any of the available drug, but would remove most if not all of the cut. I think that it
would be better for me to detail it in a procedural manner. FYI, hydrochloric acid can be
purchased in gallon jugs at hardware stores under the name Muriatic acid, 28%. First
weigh out one gram of heroin from the stock you received from your supplier. Place this
gram into a 13 x 100mm test tube. Add a few drops of 28% hydrochloric acid until it is
evenly damp. Allow to react for a minute or two. Next add 5 ml distilled water, place
your thumb over the end and carefully shake to dissolve all that will dissolve into the
water. Allow the insoluables to settle. Using a eye dropper, remove and transfer as much
of the liquid to a fresh test tube leaving the solids behind. Dispose of the undissolved
remains in the first test tube. Slowly add, with the eye dropper, one drop at at time,
ammonium hydroxide (water clear household ammonia) until the white precipitate ceases
production. Add several more drops at this point just to be sure. Shake gently to be sure
that all the solution is evenly ammoniated. The solution should look milky. Now add 100
ml ethyl ether (read the text on getting ethyl ether from Chapater 3: Making Meth) to a
150 ml beaker. Dump the milky liquid into the ether and stir briskly and allow the water
to settle and collect on the bottom. The water will turn clear. Using a glass eye dropper,
remove this water from the bottom of the beaker and dispose of. Now mix up a solution
of 5ml 28% hydrochloric acid and 5ml distilled water and add this to the ether in the
beaker. Stir briskly keeping as much acid/water suspended as possible for several
minutes. Allow the water/acid to collect on the bottom of the beaker. Using a glass eye
dropper, remove this water layer from the bottom of the ether and transfer to a glass petri
dish. Transfer the ether back to its storage bottle for reuse. It will still contain small
amounts of heroin base, so don’t throw it out. Recycle! Slowly add small portions of
sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to the water/acid solution in the petri until you don’t
notice any more bubbles being formed. Place the glass on a warm surface, and allow to
evaporate. The residue will be diacetylmorphine hydrochloride and salt. Table salt is a
by-product of the reaction and will not hurt you at all when injected. Scrape up the
residue and weigh it. Yield from one gram of smack would be anything from 100 to 300
mg, rarely more. Place 100 mg of this powder in a test tube, add 10 cc sterile isotonic
water for injection (available over the counter at drug stores) and heat to boiling. Transfer
this liquid while still hot using a syringe (available over the counter at some drug stores)
to a 10 ml rubber stoppered empty sterile ampoule (available over the counter at drug
stores). To use this drug which is 10mg/ml, extract with a sterile syringe as much drug as
you wish to use. 10 mg would send me flying believe it or not. 2.5mg (1/4 cc) is usually
enough to keep me “happy” and is my normal dose. 20mg is the most I could take safely
in my opinion, and was a waste of drug and money. Normally, for most 150-170 lb
males, 2.5 mg is more than enough in my opinion. Using heroin in this manner avoids the
problems associated with “street use” and will keep your body healthy and safe, reducing
the risk of disease and overdosage.
