It may be rare in Australia but it's worth knowing the correct method to preparing and cooking up a shot of proper Afghani brown heroin
Citric acid for injecting Afghan / brown heroin
Information for clients
WHAT IS BROWN HEROIN?
Brown or Afghan heroin is different from the
‘white’ heroin usually found in Australia.
Brown heroin is not very soluble. This means
when you add water to it, it just goes clumpy
and doesn’t dissolve. In order to be able to
inject brown heroin you need to add an acid
to help it dissolve.
CAN I USE ANY ACID?
The problem is that not all acids are good
acids for diluting brown heroin. Using harsh
acids like lemon juice, vinegar or non-sterile
citric acid can cause a lot of pain and vein
damage. They may also be full of bacteria
which can cause infections including heart
infections and maybe even blindness.
Sterile citric acid is the best to use. Using citric
acid will help dissolve brown heroin and is less
harmful than other acids. It’s important to
stick to citric acid that comes in sachets and
don’t use too much. One sachet is far too
much for one hit.
WHERE CAN I GET CITRIC ACID SACHETS?
You can get citric acid sachets at community
pharmacies and some Needle and Syringe
Programs may have them available.
HOW DO I USE CITRIC ACID?
Add a sprinkle of citric acid to the mix.
You should see the heroin starting to
dissolve. Gently heating the mix from
underneath will help this along. You may
need to add a little more citric if the heroin
doesn’t dissolve completely.
Sometimes the mix may still look cloudy
even after you’ve added a couple of
sprinkles of citric. The cloudiness may not
be heroin but something else in the mix
like paracetamol. It’s really important to
use a filter to get rid of the other stuff in
the mix.
Adding more citric at this stage won’t get
you any more heroin. What you will have
is a solution that could cause a lot of
damage to your veins.
Throw away what’s left of the citric as
it’s not sterile anymore.
Safely dispose of all used injecting
equipment.
IME needle exchange clinics might not always have cetric acid.
But it ain't hard to get if you live near a supermarket
