Opioids cold water extraction (cwe) - is it better than just taking the pills

[duke415]

i've been reading up on cwe methods, but havent' seen much on this question:

is there any buzz benefit to cwe over just taking the pills (i understand avoiding the apap issue)? say for ex. you want to take 8 or 10 hydros and that's it for the day (and not doing this every day). so you're below the liver-zapping apap level. does it make sense to do cwe or am i just risking losing some of the dope?

would love to hear from those in the know. thanks in advance

CWE is important when you're doing amounts of APAP that exceed 3000-4000mg, so around 10 norcos (*mg hydrocodone/325mg apap)

For amounts less than this, especially if you don't do this often, I'd skip the CWE.

You know, when you get really good at cwe you can turn it out in like 5 min, and lose very little drug. It hits faster because theres no pill to break down, especially if you plug it which I used to all the time with a giant irrigation syringe. I think it's worth doing a cwe at least for half of your weekly doses. I never did it every time because it can become tedious, but about half or a little more than. Mortar and pestle is your friend...
