Recently I decided to give up my problematic dope snorting/smoking habit. I was able to successfully get off heroin for the 2nd time by dosing extracted codeine 2x a day. My method of extraction is not perfect, as far as I can tell, but here are the basics:
• I use an oral syringe to pass very small amounts of almost-freezing cold water through powdered AC&C pills (containing aspirin, caffeine and codeine). This creates a saturated solution containing what I presume to be most of the codeine from the pills, along with a small amount of caffeine and aspirin.
• Lately I've managed to go down to 30-36 pills per dose, which would be ~240- to ~300mg of codeine if the extraction was perfect, which I doubt it is. I can't compare dosing the extract to dosing pure codeine, as I haven't had access to CodeineContin since before my dope problem began.
• From reading solubility info online, it appears that the ~5mg of clear (sometimes randomly tinted slightly yellow) liquid extract I drink for each dose can only contain a maximum of ~50mg of caffeine, and even less aspirin. This is backed up by each dose feeling quite pure and very reminiscent of stronger opioids - when I tried extracting similar pills with acetominophen instead of aspirin, I had to use the traditional bowl-in-the-freezer extraction method, which produced an extract that gave a dirty, adulterated-feeling high, no doubt due to the presence of the original caffeine.
So, my questions are:
• Would the comparatively large amounts of codeine I'm ingesting with each dose provide a more worthwhile effect if plugged? From what I understand about codeine's metabolism, it is converted to C-6-G, morphine and others in the liver, which implies mandatory oral dosing... however, I've read a lot of contradictory evidence online suggesting the drug might be more efficient if plugged.
• If this is the case, is it safe to plug this solution? Are there any downsides/dangers to possibly plugging small amounts of ASA and caffeine along with my codeine dose? My aforementioned extraction method is (subjectively) the most pleasant feeling, and plenty of research leads me to believe I can't get my dose much more pure than it is now, working with OTC pills.
I'd prefer firsthand advice or anecdotes is possible, but I trust the BL community and any tips would most certainly be appreciated. Thanks a bunch.
PS - switching to codeine from harder opioids led to my only prolonged period of sobriety so far, a period of 3 months following intensive (then gradually decreased) codeine therapy. My hope is that it will work again; I've been clean from street drugs for several weeks now, and with the high cost / illegality / severe dependancy / other factors removed from the picture, I suspect I won't have any problem tapering down to nothing and staying there. If anyone wants me to post more info on this, I can.
