I have not actually used Codeine before, I normally take about 20mg of oxycodone (percocett) to get proper, what would be a dosage of Codeine that would match that same high? thanks!
I'm afraid I can't recall the source of this...extract from an extraction method, it regards codeine, or dihdrocodeine in particular, and people have contradicted some of what's said:
Crush thoroughly the tablets and carefully dissolve in cold (ca 20° C) water. Use approximately 2ml of water per 1 tablet, eg 100ml of water for 50 tablets. You may add more water if you can't dissolve the tablets easily. If you want to evaporate the liquid, it's better to use distilled water instead of tap water.
Warning: Boiling and hot water may destroy codeine.
Cool the solution down to approximately 5° C (41° F) stirring occasionally. Very low temperatures make the secondary substances even less soluble.
Leave the solution in a cool place for about 20 minutes to let the secondary substances settle on the bottom of the container.
Contradictions proposed:
1. I've read that very hot might damage codeine, but some say warm or hot water is suitable as a means of dissolving the tablets without damaging the product. Can someone clear this one up?
2. Is it important to leave the solution for 20 minutes before filtering to let the APAP settle at the bottom, surely it's had all the time in the freezer to do this?
Thanks
But that wasn't my question. I'm aware of how extremely soluble codeine/dihydrocodeine are in water, warm, or cold. Personally I find using warm water to dissolve the tablets to be quicker than crushing them. So my first question has nothing to do with solubility, I'm asking whether or not warm/hot water could damage the final product, reducing the overall output. It seems to be a divisive issue.
I tend to let the water filter through first, so as to reduce the clogging of the filters. Once that's gone through, I pour some water onto the sludge, mix it up a bit, and let that filter.
Being organic compounds, can oxycodone, hydrocodone, ect not be extracted using a solevant such as ether or perhaps tolulene?
Extracted from what? they are already pure, what's the point?
