A question for PhreeX....

[Schlameil]

I've been reading bluelight for around a year now, and i've just now decided to join and make a post.
I recently obtained a bunch of blister packs containing 10 30mg codeisan brand codeine phosphate tabs. I'm wondering if they are safe to IV? It'll probably take quite a few of them, but i'd like to try it anyway. From what i can find they also might contain lactose and sucrose. Any input on this and extreme patience for my rampant n00bery would be greatly appreciated.

i've been reading on this board for maybe ... 1 month ... and i've already learned that codeine is not something you want to IV.
and thats kinda strange isn't it ...
hrmm ... oh sorry i missed 'question for Phreex' maybe i did him a favour. Sorry 'bout that.

Don't IV codeine! Entirely apart from the nasty binders in the pill, IV'ing codeine is itself very dangerous, and can lead to serious hypotension and pulmonary edema.
You can IM it, but it's really not much better than eating it (120mg vs 200mg). So that's what I'd do.

Codeine is kind of weird, it's actually best if orally ingested (something like a 90% metabolism rate, which is unreal compared to morphine or heroin). Any other method of ingestion is going to be a waste of time,
Cold Water World for more info.

codeine phosphate is a pile of pooh IMHO.
I had the 60mg tabs and was eating between 10 and 15 of them,and all i experienced was what i can only describe as a stroke.

Seems to me that although a good percentage of codiene survives the first pass through your system, the reason it gets you high (sometimes) is because about 10% of it gets converted to morphine (in the brain, I think.) Find a way to up that percentage, such as Doriden (glutethamide), and codiene suddenly becomes a lot more attractive. For those of you who don't know, glutethamide used to be scripted as a sleep aid, until enterprising drug users discovered that when you take Doriden w/about 240 mg or so of codiene, the end result is a "heroin like high", because so much more of the codiene gets metabolized into morphine. Doriden is no longer commercially available, and although I believe bootleg glut exists, from what I've read, it's fairly hard to come by. BTW, these were called sets, or doors & 4's. Do a search for glutethamide, sets, or doors and fours for more info on this subject. I imagine that some responsible experimenting could result in a good codiene booster. I hear that soma works good.
Oops...almost forgot. In response to the original Q, if you inject codiene IV, you have a good risk of your lungs filling with fluid. This is a (TM) Bad Thing. Just eat em. Don't even bother with IM or SC, as I have read that these methods are uncomfortable, and don't result in much more. Sorry about the long post, but today is a Meth Day.

1) I don't know about those specific pills and as to if they contain anything other then codeine, so you have to consider dealing with APAP/Asprin/etc..
2) Even if you had pure codeine, IV'ing it could be dangerous if not fatal..
3) Don't direct questions directly to me, if you feel it's something that only applies to me, then email me (but in this case anyone could have - and did - answer this question to the same degree I could have..
