- Heroin purification to nearly USP
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This is as complete and as accurate as I can remember, it has
- been something like 9 years since I have used heroin. The
- process I used for purification was straight forward.
- Diacetylmorphine can exist in two forms, an insoluable base, or
- a soluable salt. Often it contained a plethera of other agents
- like pieces of broken glass, pieces of foil, dirt, wood, metal,
- mannitol, lactose, maltose, sand, you get the idea. The first
- stage of the process I used was to make sure the
- diacetylmorphine I received was totally converted to a soluable
- hydrochloride salt. The heroin I usually received was a brown
- powdered heroin, sometimes off white, very little vinegar smell.
- Today all you can find is a black crud that reeks with a vinegar
- (acetic) odor. The way I made sure it was a soluable salt was
- to drop enough 28% hydrochloric acid to make it wet. This
- insured that I would not waste any of the available drug, but
- would remove most if not all of the cut. I think that it would
- be better for me to detail it in a procedural manner. FYI,
- hydrochloric acid can be purchased in gallon jugs at hardware
- stores under the name Muriatic acid, 28%.
-
- First weigh out one gram of heroin from the stock you received
- from your supplier. Place this gram into a 13 x 100mm test
- tube. Add a few drops of 28% hydrochloric acid until it is
- evenly damp. Allow to react for a minute or two. Next add 5 ml
- distilled water, place your thumb over the end and carefully
- shake to dissolve all that will dissolve into the water. Allow
- the insoluables to settle. Using a pipette, remove and transfer
- as much of the liquid to a fresh test tube leaving the solids
- behind. Dispose of the undissolved remains in the first test
- tube. Slowly add via pipette, one drop at at time, ammonium
- hydroxide (water clear household ammonia) until the white
- precipitate ceases production. Add several more drops at this
- point just to be sure. Shake gently to be sure that all the
- solution is evenly ammoniated. The solution should look milky.
- Now add 100 ml ethyl ether (some kinds of diesel starting
- fluids, read the label) to a 150 ml beaker. Dump the milky
- liquid into the ether and stir briskly and allow the water to
- settle and collect on the bottom. The water will turn clear.
- Using a glass pipette, remove this water from the bottom of the
- beaker and dispose of. Now mix up a solution of 5ml 28%
- hydrochloric acid and 5ml distilled water and add this to the
- ether in the beaker. Stir briskly keeping as much acid/water
- suspended as possible for several minutes. Allow the water/acid
- to collect on the bottom of the beaker. Using a glass pipette,
- remove this water layer from the bottom of the ether and
- transfer to a glass petri dish. Transfer the ether back to its
- storage bottle for reuse. It will still contain small amounts
- of heroin base, so don't throw it out. Recycle! Slowly add
- small portions of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to the
- water/acid solution in the petri until you don't notice any more
- bubbles being formed. Place the glass on a warm surface, and
- allow to evaporate. The residue will be diacetylmorphine
- hydrochloride and salt. Table salt is a by-product of the
- reaction and will not hurt you at all when injected. Scrape up
- the residue and weigh it. Yield from one gram of smack (yea, we
- called it that) would be anything from 100 to 300 mg, rarely
- more. Place 100 mg of this powder in a test tube, add 10 cc
- sterile isotonic water for injection (available OTC at drug
- stores) and heat to boiling. Transfer this liquid while still
- hot using a syringe (available OTC at some drug stores) to a 10
- ml rubber stoppered empty sterile ampoule (available OTC at drug
- stores). To use this drug which is 10mg/ml, extract with a
- sterile syringe as much drug as you wish to use. 10 mg would
- send me flying believe it or not. 2.5mg (1/4 cc) was usually
- enough to keep me "happy" and was my normal dose. 20mg was the
- most I could take safely in my opinion, and was a waste of drug
- and money. Normally, for most 150-170 lb males, 2.5 mg is more
- than enough in my opinion. Using heroin in this manner avoids
- the problems associated with "street use" and will keep your
- body healthy and safe, reducing the risk of disease and
- overdosage.
-
- My memory is pretty good, and I think I covered all the bases
- here, but I may have made a mistake somewhere. Overall I think
- this is an accurate method, to the best of my ability to remember.
