Cold Water Extraction Help

I've got like six Tylenol 3s (the ones with 300MG Tylenol and 30MG codeine) that a buddy of mine gave me for my toothache until I get to the dentist, but they don't do jack shit for the pain, so I figured I'd at least try to get high off of them or something. I had some questions about that though.


(1). Is the six I have even worth doing the cold water extraction thing? Can I test with just three or four and still get a high? Or could I just do the three or four without doing the CWE?


(2). What is the ABSOLUTE BEST way to do a cold water extraction? I've seen many guides, but that just confuses the shit out of me because all of them are different. Some people say use coffee filters, some people say you should use paper towels. I've seen a video where a dude puts the mix in the freezer for a little bit. I just want a really clear, and simple guide so I don't fuck up and waste anything as this would be my first time doing this. If anyone could point me to the best guide, it would be much appreciated.


(3). What's the codiene high like? I've done Percocet and Vicodin in the past and thought the euphroia trip was a blast. Is a codeine high anything like that? How long does the high last? Is it even worth the effort? Can you overdose on the codeine?
 
Dunno how to post a new question so I have to post here. I am doing pain management for a lower back problem and I use lortab 7.5/500. Is it ok to use daily if I stay under the 3000 mg tylenol limit? Just little worried about the liver. I might have to be on it for a while so I'm just wondering if it ok to use constistantly for months at a time?
 
@ Bruce - Go back a page and click 'new thread' at the top left and go from there. If you aren't already using daily, I wouldn't start. It's a rocky road if you don't really have a legitimate reason to be taking them daily. Not to discredit what you're going through. 'Back pain' just so happens to be the most generic and often bullshit excuse for taking yourself down this path. Are you having a surgery coming up or something? Because if you're able to get by without taking daily right now, why are you saying "I might be on it for a while"? you can't expect to have ZERO liver damage if you're pushing it to the limit every single day. There's also limits of APAP per single dose. If you take that whole amount of APAP at once, it's going to be damaging over time. If you're going to be taking daily like that, I would see about getting pills with less APAP. If you ask the doctor the right way, it won't look too sketch. "My pharmacist told me that this APAP could be damaging over time, should I be taking a lower amount?". Then leave it in his hands and maybe you'll get lucky.

@Dragoncity - The codeine high is not as good as vicodin, but it's still a decently euphoric high if you don't have a tolerance. As far as there being an overwhelming amount of different methods/guides to CWE, most involve steps that aren't completely necessary but help in the process of removing the APAP. If you want the most basic steps possible:
1. crush your pills as fine as possible and put in glass of water (50-150ml water)
2. Put the cup in the fridge long enough for it to get decently cold but not to the point of freezing or becoming ice.
3. Take a second cup, and place a single coffee filter over the top using some type of rubber band to firmly hold it in place.
4. Run the cold water through the 2nd cup with the filter. It will most likely take some time. (Cut down on the amount of water to begin with to speed up the process).
5. That's pretty much it. You should have a bunch of APAP gook left over in the filter and if done correctly, the solution should be relatively clear and not cloudy. The APAP makes it cloudy.
(If you want, you can squeeze the filter over the solution to get a couple extra drips of codeine)

You probably have JUST enough to do a CWE. I usually do it with more pills than that, but it should be fine.

Thanks for the reply. One more thing, on the prescription bottle it says take 1-2 7.5/500 every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Then on the tylenol website it says take 500mg of tylenol every 6 hours. Is it ok to take 2 then wait 4 hours still, or should I wait for 6 hours?

That mark of 500/6hrs is a mark that they know most people can do for a while with no long-term effects. If you're taking 1,000apap every 4 hours, you're talking ~4,000apap in a day. You can get away with this for a while but not forever if you want ZERO liver damage. If you really need more for pain, tell your doctor that you are having to take them every 4 now instead every 6 for the same relief. I would defer any other questions to a new thread of your own.
