Alright, so I've already read through MANY MANY posts including "smoking vicodin?!"
Two posts in particular stated:

If you have pure, freebase hydrocodone then yes you can chase it off foil. I know because I did it. Since it's a prodrug their is no rush but its stronger and comes on in about 10 minutes. If you want to seperate out APAP then use calcium hydroxide. It will drag the APAP out of solution.>>>

^a simple CWE (cold water extraction) works too.
....but you would still need a base like sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, or potassium hydroxide to convert it to freebase form.>>>
I am a chronic pain patient after having my foot crushed by a 2500 lb pallet jack. I have been taking 4, HYDROCO/APAP 7.5/325mg tab (Generic for: Norco 7.5-325MG tab)/day for almost 3 years now. I've done CWE which works very well but I'm curious, as far as the post above mentions, IF I wanted to try smoking it, start with CWE and then convert to freebase form. Does anyone know the process for that? And does baking soda work as a base? If not how easy is sodium, calcium or potassium hydroxide to obtain? Where? How expensive/inexpensive? What would work best?
And would the final product be smoked in a pipe, bong, chased off foil... etc?
Thanks for anyone and everyone's input. Please I understand smoking it is not the best way for consumption but as with a lot of people I'm CURIOUS.
