Would it be possible to do the codeine extraction on these pills?

[dan09232]

I found a place that sells 120 of these pills for $98
PIROPHEN- CONTAINS – CODEINE PHOSPHATE 10mg, PARACETAMOL 325mg, ASPIRIN 325mg PER TABLET
Now I wouldn't dare try popping those pills as is for recreation as you'd have to take 15-20 to get nice and high. I know from my Tylenol 3 days that it takes at least 180mg of Codeine for me to get off on it.
All that Paracetamol and Aspirin would do your liver in if you took in that much APAP at once. Say, isn't Paracetamol and Aspirin the same thing? What the hell? Just realized that now, I copied and pasted their description. Well I was just wondering what you guys thought of this, and if the extraction would be feasible, sounds like it would with 120 pills.

paracetamol = acetaminophen = APAP (Tylenol)
aspirin = acetylsalicylic acid = ASA (Bufferin, Anacin)
both are far less soluble in cold water than codeine phosphate, so the extraction will work for those pills

just noticed the price, they are RAPING you son...please check your underwear for blood
ASA doesn't tax the liver like APAP but can cause stomach ulcers

Yeah, I wasn't sure if that price was a ripoff, I'm gonna keep looking around, I'll probably find something cheaper. I'd like to find some regular old Tylenol 3's.

Either way, the extraction would probably be more time that it was worth IMHO.

For real, you're paying WAY to much... raped? Shit, you didn't even get the reach-around at almost $1 a pill ...
But the coild water extraction will work GREAT on those - namely as they don't have caffiene, so your final product would be almost straight codeine ..
