Hey guys, I've been browsing Bluelight for many years (Since I was 16; I am now 21.) & must say that you folks provide the absolute best information when it comes to basically all drugs. Especially opiates. (Hell, I think I could pass a Pharmacist test tbh XD) A thousand apologies if I posted this in the wrong section or if there are other topics open to it.
So, I have been taking Vicodin for the past 4 or 5 years & have done tons of research on the drug. I used to be able to take three or four 7.5/325 Norcos a day (the orange ones) about 10 days out of the month & catch an AMAZING buzz. (Personally, I don't think there is a greater buzz than a good Hydro buzz.) As with other opiate indulgers, the dreaded tolerance monster crept up on me. As of right now, 1/28/15, I have to take 14-15 Norco 7.5/325s to get the same feeling those three or four used to bring. (I take my Norcos all in one dose as I get little to no euphoria when I spread out my doses, just my preference.) Stupidly & knowingly, I had never performed a CWE & I'm no longer going to put my liver in such distress.
So tonight, I performed my very first cold water extraction. What I did was:
1.) Put 13 Norco 7.5/325s in about 80ml of room temperature water.
2.) I stirred the solution for about 5 minutes until all of the pills were dissolved & there was nothing left but orange water.
3.) I set the solution outside (19 degrees Fahrenheit.) for about 25-30 minutes until the outside of the glass was very cold & the solution was slightly warmer, but still quite cold.
4.) I got a plain white t-shirt sleeve, dipped in in cold water, folded it over itself & placed it over top of another glass. I pushed the shirt in side the glass a bit so that it wasn't completely flat over the glass. I then placed two rubber bands around the glass to secure the shirt sleeve.
5.) I slowly poured the cold solution into the other glass & waited about 10 minutes for everything to filter through. After it was all filtered, I removed the rubber bands, pulled up all 4 corners of the sleeve & squeezed on the sleeve to filter the remaining water out of the gunk inside.
Now, what my question is...After I poured the solution into the other glass, I was presented with a glob of APAP slightly smaller than your average gumball, but the filtered water inside the other glass still had a lot of orange coloring & when I drank it, it tasted very bitter. So, what I would like to know is, did I get enough APAP out of the Norcos to make it a safe dose? I'm aware that CWEs aren't going to get rid of 100% of the APAP, but with the information I provided, in your opinion, how much of the 4,225 mg of APAP did I get rid of? Enough for it to be a safe dose? Again, it was 13 Norco 7.5/325s & the extracted ball of APAP was a little smaller than a gumball. (About the size of a marble, sorry for the strange comparisons, haha. -.-)
Thank you in advance for your answers! (If I get any!) Very much appreciated!
