Morphine Powder from Poppy Seeds
http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/328775-True-opium-powder-from-poppy-seeds
I feel a little silly creating an account to resurrect an old thread, but this has been helpful to me and I thought I'd give the technique a little boost. First off, I realize that poppy seeds have no morphine in them and that if there's any to be had from them then it's on the outside of the seeds due to processing. However, if you shop around then you'll realize that there are sources of unwashed fresh poppy seeds.
If you have access to the plants or pods, this probably isn't worth your time. If you have the tolerance of five men rolled into one addict, again, not worth your time. Those of you with little to no experience with morphine, those that have a responsible tolerance, or even those that don't want to drink unknown quantities of opiates in tea form may find this useful. My estimate based on other people's success stories is that one can obtain between 300mg-1000mg of morphine from 10lbs of poppy seeds which can be purchased for as low as $40.
The Tek:
1 - After procuring your seeds you'll need a container with a lid to wash them. You could funnel them into a 2 liter bottle. There's no need for fanciness here. Use just enough warm water to cover your seeds, tighten the lid, and shake for 5 minutes. You're not trying to extract anything from the seeds, only wash them. Theoretically, you could do multiple washes (no more than 3) following the entire procedure for each one and you should notice a heavy degrade in quality for each batch which in my opinion is a pretty good reason not to mix them.
2 - Untighten the lid enough to pour the wash into either a large pot or double boiler. I was initially under the impression that boiling water doesn't get hot enough to destroy morphine, but I got scurred by some folk claiming otherwise. Maybe someone else here can settle this (or I could stop being lazy and go research), but use a double boiler if you want to be cautious.
3 - Boil away the water while being extra careful not to burn the resin when the water starts getting low. To help ensure you don't destroy your project, you could use a hair dryer to finish drying the last bit.
4 - Scrape the resin with a razor blade. Your first batch (the initial 5 minute wash) should look like the picture in the original thread if not a higher quality.
5 - Fill a container with some ice followed by cold water. You want the water to be as cold as possible before using it since morphine isn't very soluble in cold water. Hopefully, the impurities will be. Mix your resin with just enough ice water to cover by an inch or so in a container that you can shake the hell out of. Go on, shake the hell out of it.
6 - Add a high proof alcohol, perhaps a 50/50 ratio. Water in the alcohol defeats the purpose of using cold water in the first place since morphine is just going to find its way into that.
7 - Freeze your alcohol / water / morphine mixture. Alcohol doesn't freeze but the water will, hopefully trapping the impurities.
8 - Pour off the alcohol into some container so that it may evaporate and you can once again scrape. You should be left with some fairly pure morphine crystals, at least in theory.
9 - Enjoy responsibly.
