The Killer with a thousand faces has got me in his
Hi Guys,

I did a bit of searching but could not really find a definite answer to my question. The question is, how long after taking a recreational dose of codeine can I do it again without losing effect? I have read that codeine is self-inhibiting with regards to its metabolism into morphine. I took 384mg of Codeine at 11:30 this morning, via cold water extraction. I have another 30 * 12.8 mg pills on hand (another 384mg), how long should I wait before re-dosing?

As you can probably tell from my high level of dosing I have a fairly high opiate tolerance. This comes from a lot of days using codeine and using IV Heroin 1-2 times a week. (About 2 points each time).

Can I re-dose the codeine today at some stage? - Or, am I just wasting my time because of the metabolic enzyme saturation?

Cheers guys, and stay safe.
Namaste,

So, no words of wisdom for me? aww :(

Well for anyone else wondering I ended up re-dosing at 5:15 (about 4 hours and 45 minutes later). It is now 6:10 and I can definitely feel it. I guess it could be placebo but eh whatever works. I would say if anything it feels slightly stronger than this mornings dose, maybe 10%-15% stronger. I also took 2 chew-able antacids (mylanta) about an hour before the second dose, so that could account for the increased effects.

Does anyone have any research papers/links regarding the efficacy and effects of norcodeine? As I wonder if the "desired" codeine effects could be at least partially attributed to this metabolite.

Peace and Hugs,
Namaste,

Your race has a big factor with this due to liver enzyme deficiency. If you're black you metabolize codeine really well, white; avg, Asian; not well. I could be wrong. And I used to dose 300mg codeine w/o tolerance due to how weak that shit is (I'm white) just so I get a worthwhile buzz that's weaker than shitty weed in my country lol.
