Getting dye out of extractions?

[fairnymph]

I've done some extractions on a number of blue pills...some using water as my solvent (in the case of opiates), some using acetone/methanol (for amines -- PPA, ephedrine, p-ephed etc). Regardless, my filtrate is always BLUE. It's not a big deal to have blue powder/crystals....but I'd prefer to have white if possible (if for examples, I want a pure product to smnoke). Does anyone know how to get the damn dye out?

This might sound like a dumb question but you'd be surprised of how many people dont know about this. Anyway, are you crushing the pills up before you begin the extraction or are you concentrating on getting the dye off first? Exatly what are you doing?
Also, why dont you just try an A/B extraction?

 

[fairnymph]

Yep, I crush the pills first.I mean, the dye is all throughout the pill, not just on the outside.
And yeah I could do an A/B but I don't know if I care THAT much..ehh. I guess I'll just deal with the damn dye.

Yeah, without an A/B, I can't really think of anything clever to do if the dye is throughout the pill. You could just make it your signature color; Fairnymph's Special Blue <insert stimulant here>. Tell anyone else that might see it that it's cut with 2000 Flushes. If anything, it'll keep 'em away from your stash
