I just performed the codeine cold water extraction portrayed/explained in the video below, using 8mg Codeine/500mg tylenol tablets.

I think I followed the steps more or less correctly, BUT, I have noticed that the solution I ended up with is a *little* cloudier than the solution the dude ends up with in the video. I threw out the vast majority of the sludge at the bottom of the glass (didn't even put it in the filter, shit was almost cement-like anyway), but I'm still worried there might be a few thousand milligrams of acetominophen in there. I tasted it and it's bitter, though it's not really what I'd consider a tylenol taste, it's almost like a "salty bitterness" if you can fathom that. The color is basically like that of a glass of water with a teaspoon full of salt dissolved in it. Do you guys think I've got a mostly codeine and water here, or a lot of acet? I'm acetominophen intolerant, so this is important to me for harm reduction purposes.
