Hello there. I would just like to let people know of a method I've been using to snort the new opana ERs which are rock hard (the concave pills, not the octagons). I know a lot of the moderators have a problem with people posting the oven/microwave then freezer technique (which does in fact work with these new pills) so I'd like to post this method I've been using. Obviously I understand why it woulden't neccessarily be good harm reduction to tell people to use that method, and I have to agree snorting something that was microwaved or cooked in the oven isn't the best idea although it does work.
My method is fairly simple. You first pulverize the pill into powder preferably with a dremel, but pedi-paws also works. Don't use a peddegg or whatever its called that sucks and doesn't work at all. I'd also like to suggest that when your pulverizing the pill you hold it at about 7 to 8 o'clock against the tool you're using the powder shoots straight down onto the foil or paper or whatever your using to catch the powder. Now instead of then cooking it, you just cut the powder in a 1:1 ratio with baking soda (NOT powder). The baking powder stops A LOT of the gelling from happening, not all, but it does a pretty damn good job of it. Using this method doesn't require you to heat the pill and thereby end up burning off a lot of the oxymorphone.
So in a nutshell: pulverize, then cut in a 1:1 ratio with baking soda.
This can also be used with the new oxycontin OPs. I believe this a lot safer then heating the pill. However, I admit the baking soda can be harsh, and for a whole opana I have to break it into a few lines and pace myself a little bit. Remember don't try to inject the mix of baking soda/opana, it will still gel, will not work, and is extremely dangerous if you even get it into the barrel. DO NOT try to inject these. Even if you use the oven/microwave then freeze technique and get it into solution, is extremely dangerous to inject, even if you use a micron filter. DON'T do it. I repeat, do NOT inject these.
I'd also like to provide the way I use the heating technique which I do not advocate, and simply want people to know the method I use which does in fact work but who knows the dangers of heating the pill. I just don't think its safe but I want people to know so they don't ruin their pill if they INSIST on doing it this way.
(This works with OP oxycontin or new concave opanas)
Basically you pulverize the pill as described before. You get a dish (something oven safe) and pour the powder onto the dish. Create a small 2 to 3 inch circle of powder and 'flatten' the powder so its not overlapping itself, so that all the grains have good even surface area. Place it in the center of your even turn on low broil. After about five minutes (it will depend on the oven, it's impossible to provide an exact time) it will turn a dark brown color. It's okay if theres a little bit of powder that hasn't (apparently anyway) turned dark brown, its still cooked don't worry. Take it out of the oven and allow to sit about five minutes. After its mostly cooled off (so that it doesn't shatter once placed into the freezer) place in the freezer for about seven minutes. Take it out, allow it to sit another 5 minutes. Grab a napkin and carefully wipe off the condensation. Then take a razor, scrape it up, and chop it up really well. You'll eventually be able to get it to a coarse powder. AGAIN, I do not recommend this technique but I am aware people wont have baking soda on hand, or will simply insist on doing it this way.
I strongly advocate using the baking soda method. This thread is NOT to encourage using the heating method. I'm providing the second method just as if someone INSISTS on shooting up heroin, they should at least know how to do it properly (filtering, using alcohol, not using heat unless its tar, using a tourniquet). Mods please allow this thread to stay up as again I'm NOT encouraging people to use the heating method, in fact, the main reason I posted this way to deter people from using that method in that the baking soda is MUCH easier to do, and just about impossible to screw up.:D
