tacodude: you sound like you know a lot: I ordered my calc hydroxide and ammonium already. my motive is to remove the thebaine . leaving morphine. u think it'll work ? how do u measure the ph balance? do I have to buy the tool. I've been reading these online in how to extract the morphine. but I don't know exactly how much calcium and ammonium to put in with let's say a liter of water, 60mg of poppies . what do u think ?
