extracting codeine from otc medicines

depends where you live...
In most states you can't get ANY codeine OTC, and the few states where it is available OTC you tend to get less than 10mg per 300-400mg of APAP. I think you also have to sign some stupid Big Brother is Watching You forms when you get codeine OTC in the states. IMO just not worth it for one of the lesser opiates.
If you live in Canada, you are in luck. They sell 222's and Mersondyl (sp?) otc, which have something like 12-15mg of codeine. There are probably others, I just don't know all the names.
If you live on another continent, I don't know what the deal is.
 
Obviously there is nothing in the US that will help you, as codeine is not OTC... in other countries, well, just ask the pharmacist/shop keep/tradning wagon owner/general post/etc.. for some OTC items that contain codeine - read the packages to see how much codeine there is per pill - the most you're likely to find is 8mg to 12mg..

i tried it with 10 30mg codeine/500mg paracetamol tabs as a first time and it did fuck all. i didn't get ill so the paractemol must have been extracted but i didn't get noticibly high either.
 
yep. that was in two 150mg (approx) doses about an hour apart. is it worth me bothering again or should i hold out for some real drugs?
i think in the UK you can get 8mg Co-codomal OTC but i haven't tried yet.

Eight, you can get 12mg codeine tabs in this country OTC.
And I think that taking two doses an hour apart is pointless, as I seem to remember that one of the enzymes used to metabolize codeine is blocked by codeine itself.....or something like that anyway - try doing it in one dose.
 
try 250mg all in one dose...
if that doesn't buzz you, then move up the opiate ladder.
Word of caution: Don't keep bumping up the doses. If you can't get high off 250mg, and you are fairly new to opiates, then forget about codeine. I think the LD50 for codeine is in the 700-800mg range, but people can get into trouble with 400-500.
 
don't use those 8mg OTC pills. i got sum tylenol onez once and took like 30 of em and i wus sick fer a VERY long time after frum the high level of caffine in the pills (maybe i'm just extra sensitive to it). the extraction method on erowid worked good tho.

The cold water extract works great when you have large numbers of pills to work with.. each pill might only have 8mg of codeine, but the yeilds are fair, so a few hundred of those fuckers makes for some nice kool-aide ..
Yes, the sig is from SA, where else would something so obscure come from? I just started posting to their forums after a 4 month vacation.. it's my second favorite site (BL being my first).. oh, I have the LMOM/TSoS tee-shirt too!

good research mrgeezer. do you those 12mg jobs have a brand name that i can waltz into my local boots with? i feel that in the name of otherdrugs research i must do it again.
 
yah! Ask for Solpadine Max Strength. Not only do they have 12mg of codeine, they come in a wicked looking black box with silver lettering....a bit like those cigarettes they used to sell called Death.
I'd definitely try giving it another go, because despite what all the smackheads say, it's still a pretty decent buzz IMHO, specially with a spliff after it hits you.
Also, I think you can order them Tylenol's off of the internet - they've got aboot 30mg in 'em.
