Separating Ephedrine from Ketamine

[GodSpeedK]

Is there anyone who can aid me in cleaning this atrocious Ket, that's been cut with ephedrine? It's unbearable to consume. I'm very close to throwing it all away.

Surely there's someone who knows enough about chemistry to suggest something that could work...

thanks.

Find a solvent that will dissolve one but not the other, stick it in there, drain/filter/whatever to separate them. Also, why on earth would someone cut ketamine with ephedrine (or vice versa)?

Seriously.. never heard of K being cut with that.

Says it's soluble in water, alcohol, ether, and chloroform

And what solvent that you can pick up at a retail store and use to cleanly separate these two would that be? For all practical purposes, GodSpeedK, I think you're fucked. Of all the cuts... just so nasty and pointless (what is the rationale behind putting ephedrine in it??). Not saying there's not a solvent or a method that could do it, I just doubt there's a way to do it that you will feel is worth bothering with. You might try advanced drug discussion in the unlikely event that there's a semi-easy fix.

Man, I'm not a chem guy, I don't know. Maybe the dude should look it up, and if he can't find the answer then go inquire in the small question thread in ADD.

yeah this should be moved to ADD. u wont have luck in PD.

^They rather frown on such basic questions though, and think that you should look it up yourself since it's so simple.
