Codeine is a _excellent_ opiate to start experimenting with. Although the euphoria is not as intense as that experienced with the stronger opiates, the euphoria can still be quite intense. It also must be noted that like most other drugs, some experience is required before the full effects can be noticed and enjoyed. The best dose to start at is the 30mg - 60mg dosage. That way you won't experience many adverse effects and you can continue to take this small amount until you feel the desired effects, after that you can increase the dosage as you please. Most people settle around the 250mg mark for the best euphoria, with the least side effects. The best idea is to take in a situation where you won't become distracted. You can get yourself into a comfortable position and relax because you will become _quite_ relaxed. It may take 5 to 20 times before you can appreciate the effects. The effects are subtle like marijuana and it takes some time before you come to recognize them all.
The LD50 (lethal dose for %50) is 800mg in the average person. Death from codeine, unlike most opiates, includes restlessness, seizures and eventually death from respiratory arrest. Some sources indicate that the lower-end LD50 may be around 500mg, so doses above 450mg are in the red zone.
[Erowid Note: We believe the LD50 data listed above is based on a single paper which reported a human death at 12 mg/kg. Unfortunately the route of administration for this death was not listed. Without this information, the report is basically meaningless. Estimating an LD50 in humans is nearly impossible as LD50 data cannot be directly interpreted between humans and other species. . Known oral LD50s for codeine sulphate are: 430 mg/kg in rats and 395 mg/kg in mice. Oral LD50s for codeine phosphate include: 266 mg/kg in rats, 237 mg/kg in mice, and 100 mg/kg in rabbits. It should be remembered that a dose which can be easily tolerated by someone with a significate opiate tolerance could kill an individual with no tolerance.]
dtasrt_lk said:How can I potentiate the codeine high.
This all depends on your tolerance. If you have almost no tolerance to Codeine 150-200mg's should be ideal. Do not exceed 350mg's of Codeine though, as it is somewhere at this dosage where the ceiling dosage is. (meaning, no matter how much more Codeine you have after that amount, you won't get higher).dtasrt_lk said:Should I just bump it up to 300mg.

dtasrt_lk said:Am I safe in saying there are a lot of opioid users in aus?
dtasrt_lk said:i am aware that codeine isnt as strong as morphine but I still think im doing something not quite right
Diacetylus said:Actually, once metabolised by the liver, I think it's something along the lines of 30% of the Codeine you have ingested is converted directly into Morphine. Don't be fooled into this though. By no means is Codeine as useful as Morphine, due to the "ceiling-dose" I mentioned earlier and Codeine also has a tendency to produce alot more unwanted side-effects in users than Morphine.
peaked said:N+ is no longer a favoured choice for us codeine fiends. CWE is definately the way to go, panadeine works well but the generic Sigma "Pain Tablets" are at the top of my list. The Sigma "Pain Tabsules" work pretty well too, tho the end extraction looks yellowy from the dye in the pills.
My 2c reagrding the CWE - if the water is noticeably cloudy (as in, cloudy from heaps of stuff floating in it) you've fucked up. Throw it away. Never drink murky extractions - its not worth the risk, it could just be a bit of filler or it could be 5 grams ibu or paracetemol. It should look clear, with only the slightest traces throughout the liquid visible on close inspection. That said, pills that have some colouring in it will usually leave some kind of colour in the end solution aswell (i.e a blue or a yellow colour). Particularly with the yellow, it can make it appear more "murkey" but on closer inspection, the colouring just highlights the small amount of solids in the solution.
On comparison to the old splittable N+ and panadeine forte, I believe a CWE to generally be, at best, about 50% efficient. Reasoning for this is that, on the fortes or n+ at 60mg, I felt noticeably more effected than from a CWE on 120mg worth of codeine.
For those new to the codeine scene, I think this passage from the vaults of erowid describes the codeine experience rather well.

static_mind said:Iv never bothered to grind up the pills, their far too hard. If you dump them in hot water (not boiling) a whole pack will dissolve in about 10min. I can have an entire CWE finished and consumed in under half an hour.
some of us arent really confident bout goin to shady areas and coppin junk lolDiacetylus said:^I too have alot of trouble crushing the damned Nurofen+. It's alot of hassle and labour imo. I usually use a spoon and put my whole body-pressure on the tablet with that, in a huge bowl and sometimes a quarter of the pill will fly across the toom from all of the pressure. Try doing this with 30 pills, in my opinion I'd just prefer to pay the extra cash and buy a $100 rock of smack. It's not like Nurofen+ is really that cheap anyways and the euphoria experienced next to other opioids is pretty much, mweh!
Seriously, if you don't have the money or access, or are new to the whole opioid scene, I recommend looking into making Poppy Seed Tea. I'm going to start looking into this and apparantly all of the alkaloids from the Opium residue can make for an extremely unique, long-lasting and euphoric high. The only problem is gauging your dosage, so you'll have to be careful with that, as the content of the Opium residue can vary.
Erm... bored and naked? *shudder*
think ive said this before, the panadeine (8mg codeine) are far better than nurofen plus. for some reason they always CWE better than the nurofens
