They are garbage send them to me....
No j/k, seriously T3's are nice ,particularily if you have a low opiate tollerance. They are not the best opiate(in my opinion), but definately worth something and can be fun! The only drawback to codeine is it's the opiate that most commonly causes the opiate itches, that can be taken care of with an antihistamine, what I found works great is if you can take the allergy pill zyrtek or one of the other non-drowsy allergy pills. As you take more of the T3's (or any opiate)the itches won't be as common.
Do you have alot of them? You can do a cold water extraction which you can find on
www.Erowid.com do a search and it'll come up on the site, it's a pretty easy method. They may say use hot water initially but I'd use warm, not hot; reason being is mentioned later while addressing you question on smoking them .
As for smoking the codeine, high temperatures tend to destroy it, so smoking it is not recomended. That is why I also said use warm temp. water I believe it's anything above 102 F. degrees that the drug begins to lose it potency and start to be destroyed.
The oral route is pretty common, but there is APAP in them so watch the amount you are taking if you just pop the pills without doing the extraction method. I'm not sure but you may be able to snort the extracted codeine after the water evaporates, but don't quote me on that. I'm sure someone else could tell you for sure if snorting it is possible, and the codeine is active nasaly.
What kind of surgery did you have done that they gave you T3's? If your interested in something stronger you can always call your doctor and state that the T3's are not doing too much for the pain, you may get hydrocodone(vicodin), which is very nice
Time is the key though, don't wait too long to call your doc and tell him, 2 days is sufficient amount of time in my experiences.
Let me know if you have any questions I'd be more than happy to help if I can. Good Luck and have fun!!
