Codiene/Caffine seperation

[xxChroniCxx]

Anyone know how to serperate codiene from caffine in T1's?
(yea I know codiene sucks but I've had a bad day and I'm outta cash until friday so my options are limited)

Unfortunately, I don't think there's an easy way to do this.

This has been talked about before! There isn't an easy way to do it! Just take the pills, the way they come.
That would be pretty nice though!

This can be done. Caffeine is only slightly soluble in water at room temp. Codeine is soluble in cold water. Use ice water to seperate the two.

hey Ford, are you thinking of aspirin? all the extractions i've seen only say that the aspirin is removed by the cold wash, not the caffiene.

Roches pointed me in the right direction when I posted this question a few months ago, but trust me when I say that it is more trouble than it's worth...

cold water will not separate the caffeine from the codeine, it's too soluble in water, this should be obvious from any caffeinated beverage...

Caffeine "is slightly soluble in water at room temperature"
Why wouldn't ice water work for the extraction?

You can seperatethe Codeine from the APAP, but the caffiene is another story - can it be done in the kitchen? Well, next time I get some 222's I will see what we can find out... but the short answer is NO there is no *easy* way to seperate the two...
The good news - there really isn't enough caffiene to negate the codeine high.. the caffiene might keep you awake/prevent nodding, but you still get your warm fuzzies...

Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll have to put up with the evil caffeine effects after the codiene wears off...either that or switch my major to chemistry.
