one of my first lab jobs (after freshman year of college) was working with the general chemistry lab director. which was fine until he wanted me to do "a project that he'd been thinking about." i think our signals got crossed because he assumed that i had a masters in organic chemistry. the background reading was my first clue, then i was exposed when i couldn't name a compound just by glancing at a gaschromatogram (is that right? its been a while). anyway, i ended up working with a crapload of ether. they were afraid to leave me alone because i might blow the place up.
so, i suggest ether - it used to be an anesthetic and the doc in cider house rules sure liked it.
you don't need much chemistry knowledge - just a graduated cylinder, that magnet stir bar and some sort of flask.
im telling this tale because even if you have a pair of lab goggles, a lab coat and a full chem lab stocked with pyrex lab ware and a bunsen burner, i don't think you could look in a catalog and order up the stuff you would need to synthesize a true opiate, unless you are being set up by the dea. also, its not like meth - its made in a "lab" but im pretty sure one trip to home depot would arm you with the needed ingredients.
if you are a chemistry genius and can synthesize a good ass rc opiod, don't tell anyone, move to a cave like osama bin lauden and come up with some complex method of distributing it and packaging it. become a chemical mcgyver - tell people that they can make it by mixing chewing gum, paint thinner, vitamin c and thumb tacks - this will throw people off your trail.
i know im being a smart ass but i would love to get a hold of an opiod rc and that would exist for more than a milisecond before being shot down but i know that wonderful things like opiods in test tubes and unicorns just aren't real.
also, if you are a chemistry genius, what is a flux capacitator?
Osama Bin Laudenum Ho Ho Ho

Your chewing gum and thumb tacks comment had me laughing so hard, thank you.
