That spoon method wouldnt be very effective mate, brown over here has a low melting point and heating it in a spoon or on glass would most likely cause it to burn as it doesnt cool down quick enough so youll loose lots of the prescious gear. You wanna chase it on foil
Chasing isnt difficult once ya get the hang of it.
Heres a few of my tips ;
Cut a small piece of tin foil maybe 3-4" long and on the sides so ya got a kinda sqaure, but it should be rectangle so maybe 4" long and 3" wide.
Now with a tissue wipe the foil on a hard surface to get out any lumps and bumps.
Fold down the middle fold it so ya got a crease running down it, at the top end place a small bit of gear, start of small till ya get the hang of it as your likely to burn it, so just a wee bit or maybe one of those little stones ya get in the gear then if ya burn it it doesnt matter.
Use the outer case of a match box for inhaling the vapours until youve got the hang of it as using a thin tube is hard work.
Put ya disposible lighter on low and hold a little beneath the foil, the powder will then turn into a black/brown liquid, now its melted get ya match box case ready in ya mouth, again hold the lighter just beneath the foil where the gear is and then as it starts to run slowly move the lighter forwards and the gear will run down the crease of the foil following the heat.
Dont try and inhale deeply, youll run out of breath! just breath in through the matchbox case and hold the foil at a slight angle this way the smoke travles upwards and into your awaiting gob.
Once the black goo reaches the end of the foil stop applying the flame and turn the foil round and run it back the other way. Stop applying the heat if you run out of breath (if you do your breathing in to hard) and just carry on where you left off.
Back n forth, keep rolling the gear 2 the end of the foil and then turn the foil round n back again. When its done there will be no liquid left just a black tracer which is all the contaminents and crap that have stayed on the foil. So then get the creases out again and make another crease and go again until you sufficently high.
Codeine will have no effect on your tolerance with the brown, you can only metabloize equivalent of 30mg of morphine with codeine, with (dia)morphine you can get as high as you like. Chances are you just smoked it wrong and didnt get the desired effect. Its not all that great, not the best opiate for euphoria.. for me oxy wins that one from what ive tried. But you willl get a bloody good nod and some euphoria.
Smoking is the safest method and is nearly imposible to OD on as it hits you pretty fast so you know when youve had enough, smoking £10 worth will probbaly take you 20 minutes, be patient and dont burn the stuff!
As for snorting gear, i wouldnt until you know your tolerance with smoking 1st and also the strength of which batches vary can be dangerous espescially for a new user. So be very careful and stick to smoking, you might not have that greatest effect at first but persverse and you will get the hang of it, and if you chase it you will get a good nod. Injesting an unkown amount of (dia)morphine is highly dangerous for someone who is only used to codeine.
£5 wraps should contain roughly 100mg, average purity is around 40% but vary from 20-90 so be careful.
Anyway back to snorting, take some powder, place in a spoon, add a few drops of warm water off your finger and a few drops of citric acid, then stir a little with a match stick or something, then apply gentle heat, once its all disolved into the water its ready.
Take a straw and snort it out of the spoon, if you have an eye dropper or pipet you can filter it using the filter from a cigarete, so draw the solution into the pipet through the filter should catch a few nasties.
Anyway smoking is a much safer bet, heroin kills and addiction is fucked up, but its not as increible as the media lead one to believe, its an opiate similar to codeine but stronger so expect the same kinda feeling and not the most euphoric thing on earth!
Best of luck and be careful, make sure you dont get into gear, having a readily avaliable dirty opiate thats pretty cheap is easy to get addicted to, and addiction aint nice take it from me. Anyway im sure you know all that shit, hope the few tips help you.
Peace
