Im an opiate naive, moderate build teen.

Just took 210mg CWE co-codamol; solution was very clear, almost like water, and the liquid was almost the same as the start. I figure i only lost 15-20mg of codeine.

Its been 30min and im not even feeling that high, why not? I took 150mg dhc the other weekend and was pretty high...

Have I not peaked yet? If so and im still supposed to get higher and higher, is 180-210mg of codeine ok for a first timer? Is it dangerous? possible adverse effects?
 
210mg of codeine taken orally is equivalent to roughly 21mg of oxycodone. So, if you have no opioid tolerance, that should certainly be enough for you to get a nice buzz. If you aren't feeling much, I would reckon that the discrepancy lies in your technique of the CWE. Honestly though, it is not rocket science, doing a CWE - so I can't fathom how you would have lost enough to make a huge difference.

I would wait a little while, codeine takes a little bit for it to come up.

Is co-codamol the nonsense that has a little bit of codeine as well as aspirin/caffiene? If so, it is possible that the large amount of caffeine would be detracting from the intensity of the high.

Do some research on CWE and perfect your technique. Or just buy some better pills.
 
I read about several techniques so:
I used a lab filter, did a easy version of suction filtration and i crudely made measurements + estimates before hand, but im extremely careful about everything so I estimate a very max loss of 15%.

thanks for the tips.

btw, Im itching like a Mutha----er, scratching my face off lol, can the histamine response be dangerous? also is it worth maybe adding another small dose after 50min?
 
The histamine release isn't dangerous per se, it can just get annoying if you aren't used to it. An easy fix to that issue is taking a small (25-50mg) dose of benadryl which will counteract the itches as well as mildly potentiate the opioids.

Redosing 50mg of codeine an hour after will be a waste. Your best bet is to hold off til another day and take a larger initial dose. TOpping up isn't very effective at all.

I disagree, I find that multiple dosing is often better than just one dose in a day.Such as taking 150mg of codeine and then 100-150mg 1-3 hours later vs taking 300mg at once. I do agree that 50mg more isn't worth it.

I find that codeine is very very subtle and it often takes a few experiences to notice the effects, it's better to be lying down and thinking/sleeping and nodding in and out of sleep than to be walking/on the computer or anything that involves movement. if you have some cannabis than a small toke(ie, .025g-.1g) will help with the nausea and give you a better feel for it's euphoria than codeine or cannabis alone.
