Codeine Extraction

Status
Not open for further replies.
Found a new brand of paracetamol and codeine today - Pharmacy Choice. Not sure if these are the same as the Chemists' Own brand? The chemist I got them from was not a chain store and did not stock the Chemists' Own.

The ingredients are listed as:

Actives-
Paracetamol 500mg
Codeine Phosphate 10mg

Some other ingredients-
Cellulose – microcrystalline, Croscarmellose sodium, Magnesium stearate, Povidone, Stearic
acid, Pregelatinised maize starch, Crospovidone.


They crush up very easily, don't seem to have as much binder as Panafen Plus. Dissolve easily and filtering gives a slightly cloudy solution. First time I've tried paracetamol tablets, other times it has been ibuprofen. I wonder how they'll go...

Images, sorry for bad quality, camera on my phone is shocking:

Tabsules suck.
chemist own round white ones the best.

thanks for all ya help and replys to my PM's.
 
I decided to use the coffee filters instead of an old shirt this time round. Means you have to wait an extra half hour or so while it drains, but it came out only slightly misty, as opposed to the fairly large amount of residue that was getting through with the shirt. Much happier with this method.

What's everyone's favourite method for covering up the taste? It's the worst thing to hit my mouth since MDMA and you have to drink a huge mouthful of it, if I don't get it down fast my throat gags up for 10 minutes. So far I've tried cordial, apricot nectar and orange juice, and the orange juice seems by far the most effective.
 
I tried codeine extraction once before, used a lab grade filter on (if i recall correctly) about 150mg . All I got was terrible nausea.

Try it on a full stomach. If I drink codeine on an empty stomach I get excruciating nausea, but if I do it after eating a sandwich or two it's quite pleasant.
 
im having much better luck with asa/codeine tablets than ive had with acetaminophen/codeine tabs.. less side effects, filters much faster, comes out with a much more horrible taste though :p
i find guzzling some chocolate milk is the perfect chaser for this stuff, just take your xx-xxx ml solution and slam it like a shot as is
 
is one best to use a little more water than nessecary to reduce a loss in yield?

stumbled across some 30mg codiene. they must be ancient though since they only tend to do >10mg nowdays.
 
^ Were they prescription? That's the only time I've heard of 30mg codeine/APAP tablets.

You can use a little more water, I do this if the solution is too thick. For sixty Chemists' Own pain tablets I use between 50-75ml of water.

BL has so many CWE and codeine threads, most with 30+ pages, and most the same questions being asked over and over again. I know Mr Blonde wrote a quick guide but it seems few people are reading through the existing material.

True, this. In the CWE FAQ thread I created in OD, I listed my own method and then got other people to add theirs to the thread as well. But the same questions come up as always, though if someone is new to the method I can't blame them for wanting to be sure they are doing it correctly.
 
It's not something you can blame people for wanting to be careful with. I mean yeah it's an easy process, but if you fuck it up the price could potentially be very, very high.
 
To be honest this thread concerns me. How many people on here would have tried Codeine if this thread didn't exist? I Had found Codeine on Erowid before I ever came to bluelight but I probably never would have tried a CWE untill I found this thread.

It sounds odd but I think this thread enables people to use Codeine. I dont believe people would have the guts to try a CWE if it were just discribed however the thread shows repeated success and gives confidence.


But if I am correct where could the HR community go? Knowledge is power and I don't believe that hideing infomation is an answer. Deleating the thread I dont believe is a good idea. It might just be something we have to accecpt.

One thing I give Codeine credit for. More or less im an addict, often eating (CWE) 7 or 8 packs in a weekend. After decideing that I love Codeine I noticed that its the only substance if found addictive (I never found meth and shit addictive). Opiates feel natural. Its like being i love. My love of Codeine convinced me to never try harder opiates. I had plans on trying Heroin and Oxy. Now every now and then they pop up, one of my mates might have oxy and they are all baffelled that I wont dare touch it. From what iv felt with Codeine, stronger opiates would fuck me up to a level I don't want to be at. I think iv made the right choice not to try Heroin or Oxy and if it wasnt for Codeine I would have dived right into them.

Ignorance is bliss with Opiates and I hope to god that I never try them. In fact after Codeine im scared that il have an accident and get perscribed oxy. Im scared enought that im thinking I might just take on the pain and throw the oxy away.

I am drunk atm though, maybe im talking crap. It makes sense to me but im intrested with opiate addicts. Am I being paranoid or do you think I making a very wise choice?
 
^hmmm you didnt like codeine? I find opiates take a few uses to get into, the first times can be nauseating etc.

These days i do alot of oxy and h. not so much codeine anymore, tollerance is far too high for it.

The first time i did codeine i got it from my mum, i couldnt sleep one day and i was feeling pretty crap, i was given two panadeine fortes, Buzzed out nicely.

Later i decided to try 4 tablets, unaware of the dangers of APAP. Anyway, i got extremely sick for a few hours, nothing like the 2.

Later i found that i didn't have much of an opiate tollerance, and so, less was more. These days my opioid tollerance is through the roof. I can quite safely do 200mg of oxy without breaking a sweat.

As i said, when taking opiates and being well, wet behind the ears, less is more. try smaller doses if you're interested in the drugs. On the last thing you mentioned, you're being a tad paranoid, but in saying that it is a wise choice, coz you seriously don't know what you're missing out on. Curiosity killed the cat ;)

edit: woops i think i misread your post. didn't realize you were a codeine addict. i'm surprised it does anything to you, codeine did nothing to me after a short stint of abuse.
 
I don't think you're talking crap actually. The thought has crossed my mind a number of times with this thread.

Yes it and the information in it does save a lot of livers, but how many people does it introduce to opiates? I don't think it hurts to constantly re-evaluate the usefulness of threads like this in light of the overall concern in the community about abuse of OTC painkillers.

Not only does repeated success inspire confidence in others, but the sheer amount of times the extraction process is posted (in varying forms) and discussed only shows how easy it is to do.

Would people try and extract codeine if this thread wasn't here? Of course.

Would they have got the idea to try it in the first place without it? In many cases, I would say probably not.

By that logic, if it wasn't something that drew the attention of law enforcement, would BL allow open discussion of drug synthesis and production?

Where they become a competing ethos, do we have to choose harm reduction over providing honest and uncensored information? Food for thought.

I discovered CWE a while before I came across BL, and refined my technique through this thread.

I have to be honest, unlike Hoptis I have never really considered it like this. The CWE is both a blessing and a curse, but I choose to look at it realistically and point out the many people who are addicted to taking codeine without doing a CWE. People can discover their weakness for it without threads like this, and having a way to reduce the harm from it is very important given the potential risks involved.
 
Cwe

having trouble understanding the CWE erowid FAQ. I have 9 tablets with 10 mg of codeine phosphate, 450 mg paracetamol and 5 mg of doxylamine succinate. Could somebody walk me through how much water etc to use in my case
 
ETA: Damn it, I mean into the Codeine Extraction thread! This isn't OD!

ETA (again): Ok sorry now I will answer your question. For 9 tablets, I'd use maybe 50ml of water just to make it easy. The quickest way to do this is crush up the tablets, put them in a glass and add 50ml of water. Stir, let them dissolve well, then filter through something. If you have coffee filters handy then use them, if not I use an old work shirt as a filter. Wet your filter with water first so that the solution passes through easier.

You don't have to do all that heating up and then freezing crap. There is no point, codeine is soluble as it is in plain cold tap water and APAP is insoluble in plain cold tab water.

o crap i jus chucked the 9 pills disolved in 16 ml of hot water into the freezer what should i do
 
Well now you are going to have let it cool down. Why did you start the process if you didn't fully understand it?

Don't bother waiting until it's freezing, just let it get down to about the cold level it is when it comes out of the tap. About 22 degrees Celsius. Codeine is very soluble at this point and APAP is very insoluble at this point. Then, filter it and enjoy.
 
ok i just went and looked at it. there is a gooey looking substance at the bottom then clearish water and some sediments on top. is it ready to filter?
 
I'd say stir then filter, if the water is cold. Btw, if you used hot water instead of warm water you may have destroyed the codeine so don't expect too much.
 
Is it still hot? The hotter it is, the more APAP will be in solution. Like I said, it's temperature dependent; if it's as cool as it is coming out of the cold tap, then it's ready.

I'd say don't expect too much regardless due to the low dosage. ;)
 
i used warm not hot water. it is filtering now. there is a yellow paste sort of substance being trapped is that the paracetamol? should be ready in a min hopefully i have done it right for my first time. ill let you know how it goes thanks for your help!!
