An attempt at removing caffeine from an AC&C CWE

Hey guys, continuing my tradition of dropping experience/knowledge and then f*cking off for a few months ;)

This is sort of a trip report (since it's literally in progress), and a TEK, depending how well this works out for me.

So here it is:

Well, I dun goofed boys and girls; after 3 months of everyday (sometimes twice a day) poppy seed tea abuse, I quit cold turkey last thursday. I'm not sure if this is still going on here, but trust me, the seeds were very potent and not a placebo (I have been addicted to I.V heroin in the past, I know what an opiate feels like). The next day, I went on a trip up north with a friend for his bachelor party, and we camped outside in minus 10 weather for two nights... needless to say, this sucked the big one.

Anyway, today I decided that I wanted a break from the withdrawals, and I had some AC&C lying around, so this is what I did (I am caffeine SENSITIVE, so I did this to try and remove the caffeine):

1. Perform CWE with just enough water to dissolve 100 pills.

2. Pour solution into a WIDE pan, and put on the oven (low heat).

3. Poured off solution when there was around 5-10 ml tops remaining. Note: This only took around 5-10 minutes, since the water was only about a millimeter thick on the bed of the pan...

4. Wet a coffee filter, and poured this solution through it, ringing it out afterward.

That's basically it. The idea came to me after a lot of reading on the solubility of caffeine relative to codeine... it's extremely simple, and only took me 15 minutes to complete. I am just starting to feel the codeine, and there is no sign of caffeine what-so-ever.

Also, I understand that heat destroys codeine, but I have a very hard time believing that this happens to a significant degree on low temperature for only 5 - 10 minutes... the key here is to start out with a minimal amount of water for the CWE, and then get a wide-ass pan so that the evaporation is fast.

I will update as this high progresses. What do you guys think... did I botch this? Or does this seem legit to you as well?

Peace.
 
update: Withdrawals are gone, and I'm actually high... therefore I'm assuming I got at least a 50% yield on the total codeine, since I have a large codeine tolerance even naturally (doctor thinks I could be deficient in CYP2D6, or 3A4, can't remember...)

I am estimating about 200mg of caffeine in the end product as well... so there may have been slightly more then 10ml of solution in the end.

So far, this seems like a very easy way to improve on the CWE method...
 
Excuse me, but how is this a trip report, I know TS called it that but that does not make it so?
Seems like OD territory.
