Opioids Dihydrocodeine, what's actually the deal

Hey everyone, longtime semi-lurker who's normally been able to find what they want just searching. So I have a comfortable relationship with codeine and to a lesser extent oxycontin, although I space that one out as much as possible. Thing is I recently came into a bunch of dihydrocodeine and thought this was great, however I don't really feel much at all after taking it the first time - normally 300mg codeine I will feel (I am a big guy) but not feeling much of anything off of the same amount, taking into account the longer setting in period - been over an hour now. So just wondering, what's it meant to be like as a standard high? Is snorting a terrible idea? I would snort oxy fine but not codeine, but then I'm beginning to think that codeine and dihydrocodeine aren't as similar as the naming suggests? Bit clueless here, appreciate any help you can provide - and all of you here in general 🙏
 
I would say that DHC produces much lower histamine release so doesn’t feel as “opiody”.

It is theoretically more potent than straight codeine - and I would agree with that… but is often perceived to be less satisfying to opioid users.

It can be snorted. I wouldn’t especially recommend it. I believe you can also guzzle grapefruit juice before taking the DHC to up the morphine conversion (vague cos it’s been a while since I looked into this stuff - others will surely bring more detail).

Personally I like it and use it daily… but I kinda still prefer codeine even though it’s weaker.

Thanks friend. Would you say the recreational effects differ markedly from codeine? Sometimes with me when when I try something new, I tend to not really feel the thing until some kind of understanding clicks in my brain and I'm like, Ah so *that's* what it's about...

Just as a matter of fact I hate codine it makes me feel nauseous and I just want to go to bed .plugging 210mg of dhc gives me energy to get things done.i should say empty your bowels completely first .your blood vessels in colon or what ever you want to call it absorb dhc faster ,longer and much more efficiently

Hi I sent a reply earlier. You need to plug it .you will only need less than half your prescription for same effects.dhc is garbage when taken orally. I don't know if I'm being moderated ,alot of my posts seem to have disappeared. But I speak the truth. Don't take it orally .you could be losing 80 percent of the effects.i guess your in america so time difference could be the problem

Thanks, the advice seems to be plug it haha. Never done this before, so are we talking straight up there like Renton or dissolve in water and squirted? I need a handy guide....

I'm in the UK btw, for the person wondering
 
Update - well I tried plugging twice now, found a good guide elsewhere on here. 300mg in about 3ml water, boom up the jacksy. Thing is, no dice. Could be I'm not doing it right. Bit frustrating, think I'm going to get a pack of nurofen plus and do a CWE.

Make sure your bowels are empty .crush up your pills on a pre folded down the centre a4 piece of paper .use a credit card to get it into a fine powder then empty the powder into some fairly hot water [it will cool down quick] use a pet syringe as its thin ,don't use a syringe with a needle on end lol.use about 10ml of water or maybe 15ml ,you can meusure it out with your syringe first .you might need to plunge it up your arse 3 or 4 times and even add more water for any remaining powder.use lube.some people lay on their side but you can stand up ,your sphincter muscle will stop any leakage .keep every thing clean and sterile for infections etc .I take no responsibility for any mishaps this is purly information for you to make further investigations and make an informed decision ,there's plenty on plugging on this site .you should taste the dhc while still plugging .be carefull because it is very much stronger than oral so use less but looking at your posts you have a high tolerance .stay safe.i know your not stupid but do not use a hyperdermic needle.refuse the urge to go to toilet for at least 45 mins

3ml of water is not enough ,you would be squirting sludge up there .the more diluted the easier the blood vessels can absorb. Trust me it works.ive seen me plunge several times with 5ml syringe

I could be wrong but neurofen plus is hard to get in uk .chemist normally stock co codamol.you mentioned earlier your dhc dissolves in water ,I've never come across that type .sorry I may have got mixed up in different posts about dissolving dhc

Thanks a lot for your advice here! Yeah so I think I misread someone else's advice which is why I used such little water - yeah it was absolutely pure sludge haha. That is basically just sitting in my anal passage right now not doing anything I'm guessing. So the idea is to kind of get the solution as clear as possible? How much water would you suggest for 300mg -15ml or so? I have a 5ml syringe, "happy" to go up there 3 or 4 times if needs be. Lol. I will try and evacuate the sludge first.

Nurofen plus is OTC here but I'd much rather get this right for my Friday night gaming session.
 
I would go for 15ml .you will need to plunge about 5 times but know big deal ,I know it sounds disgusting but try shove it as far up as possible .use your muscles each time to clench .honestly I am quite opiate naive but if I plugged that much I'd be nodding .I have plugged that much before that's why you need the extra water .Good luck .for future you can get instant jelly laxatives from chemist they work in 5 minutes, the less junk up there the more will be absorbed .what a disgusting topic lol but if it means using less for more then it's all good .enjoy hope it works .make sure you evacuate gunk as it may still be absorbing very slowly and don't drink alcohol for obvious reasons ,a beer or 2 is fine but know more.make sure sludge comes out you don't want that dilluting with new batch which could lead to overdose ,you could always try just water and see if it dillutes itself .stay safe
