Anyone know any ways of getting rid of the guaifenesin in this syrup so I don’t throwup?
 
I saw some method on either here or DF years ago that involved a microwave and tbh way too much fucking time for somebody just trying to get high. I was underage at the time so couldn’t just go buy some, I’m 32 now so definitely don’t remember a damn thing involved in the process even though I read it all and think started to try it but it was too complicated and long so just ended up drinking the shit and throwing up anyway. If you’re not underage just go find some that’s just DXM. I haven’t really seen many in recent years that’s a syrup that doesn’t have it but most of the pills are just DXM, but are long-acting but AFAIK they still work the same. I don’t robotrip anymore but use them whenever I have some opiates to potentiate so I keep them stocked up, the dollar general by me has 20 count bottles of the pills in the $1 section.

Don’t overdo it on DXM. Heavy use causes some pretty serious damage to your brain, apparently thats heavily debated but I’d say I’ve experienced it first hand. Definitely came out a little slower than I went in at after a few months of pretty heavy use. I guess the biggest concern about brain damage is developing brains, which even late teenagers technically still are and cases of hyperthermia where you basically just fry your brain from over heating. I’d say a case of actual brain damage from semi-regular use is going to be pretty rare, but the shit definitely will affect you in the long run. It didn’t completely fuck it but i developed some minor speech issues after my use as well as some other shit. I’ve done pretty much every (non RC/“commercial/mainstream) drug around in excess at one point or another in my life and the 2 I would say caused the most(and also the fastest) damage are DXM and alcohol. Issues associated with alcohol go away for the most part after quitting unless you’re a lifer but DXMs haven’t. Sorry for the massive post but yeah, don’t go crazy on DXM lol.
 
Agree with everything stated above ^

I highly doubt there is any convenient, easy or cost effective way to do that. Too many ingredients in that syrup. It's a mixture of several organic substances, dyes, artificial flavors, and propylene glycol.... and maybe 0.01% of that 'solution' is the DXM. Maybe 0.1% is guaf.

You would need lab equipment, you would need to look up the solubilities of 12 different ingredients, you would need to do several steps if not dozens.

I will hint that DXM HCl is poorly water soluble, while guaf is extremely water soluble.

but that doesn't really matter when they are literally covered in syrup that isn't exactly easy to remove.

If I remember correctly, the gist of it was to separate the syrup ingredients from the drug ingredients? then CWE out the guaf but there was a fuck ton of stuff to do after it. I planned on getting to the CWE part and just swallowing whatever was left over despite the guy warning not to, can’t remember why as it was at least 15 years ago but I do remember a huge warning and me deciding it wasn’t enough of a risk and I’d be fine. I never even made it that far, something got fucked up in the first few steps and the first batch quite literally exploded in the microwave, the 2nd batch went better but I somehow lost half of it and then it never reduced down to a powder or rock or whatever it was supposed to do. All I really know is that I ended up with some watery sludge that smelled like burnt syrup, it stunk up the entire house for way longer than you would imagine some cough syrup in the microwave ever would. And a sticky mess I had to clean out of the new microwave my dad just got for my mom before I got my ass beat. I barely even made it a few steps in

I’m no chemist, but I’ve always been very intelligent and have been able to do most things I’ve tried in life with at least some success. This dumbass de-guafing technique was everything but. Still partially convinced to this day that the guy who posted it was a very clever, convincing troll who wanted to destroy as many teenagers microwaves as possible. I just drank that last bottle and cleaned my kitchen as fast as I could before my parents got home. That microwave is still at their house and still has a reddish black glob of goop inside that won’t come off. They still don’t know what the hell that smell was and were fully convinced I was smoking crack or meth in the house that day. If only it were as simple as that 😂
