Morphine Sulphate ER Question. Long time lurker. Wondering about possible harm.

I have been iv'ing some morphine sulphate ER pills that I've been getting from one of the local pharmacies. The first time I tried to crush the pills I couldn't believe how easy they crushed up. Usually the pills are really hard and or waxy. Not these. I don't see how they are ER pills. Works quite well with just one or two 15 mg pills. I just filter them through some cotton. The liquid that ends up in the syringe is just a little milky white, but not bad. I have figured out that there is just a waxy coating on the pills that I can scratch off with my fingernail and after I crush and draw into the rig is clear as can be. Has anyone else ever encountered any morphine sulphate pills like this? They are awesome.
 
I have with the pink ones. I don't use needles (don't judge, though). Only if they are old. I crush and snort, so I need to suck off the coating. But they usually crush easily if they are old.
 
Just to be sure they are only 15mg but are Extended Release ? I do the same with (3-6) 60mg ER's but use triple filtering with compressed cotton backloaded onto a thimble of 15 micron filter paper, then filter one last time with a .22 micron filter.
 
Yeah they are 15mg ER pills. You do 3-6 at a time? I have a pretty high opiate tolerance and for me that would be a lot. Also how exactly are you filtering them? I just use a piece of cotton torn from a cotton swab.
 
Yeah, it's taken 15+ years to get to 350mg shots and MS is fairly underwhelming when not acetylated so unless you're using it for pain, there are plenty of other's that have more recreational value. One thing I would take seriously is filtering though. I have heard more than a few people say" F*** it, filtering is too much trouble", but from the long term users who now have health problems like pulmonary granulomas or clumps of excipients from pills trapped in the lungs or floating "spots" in people's vision that never go away. Doesn't seem like too much trouble to me.

I'd say loose cotton is nearly useless other than making a nice soft pad to rest your needle on. Compacted cotton rammed into the back of a syringe is better but not idyllic. Quantitative filter paper like you would find in a lab works well when made in to a cup or thimble with cotton stuffed into the center and also rammed into a 10ml or larger syringe. The gold standard is of course a micron filter, specifically a 0.22micron hydrophillic 25mm. Any search engine will bring up a list of vendors if you type in ".22 micron syringe filter". Using the cotton in a syringe as a pre-filter makes the micron filters last longer before clogging.
