how long should the separation take and will this even work 1. Put cough syrup in 2 liter bottle. 2. Pour in a lot of ammonia. Excess is not a serious problem. The ammonia volume should be about equal to the syrup volume. 3. Shake. 4. Pour into a tightly sealable vessel. A funnel is good to have. 5. Add about a 1/2 inch thick layer of lighter fluid. 6. Shake the hell out of the vessel for about five minutes. 7. Pour the liquid back into 2 liter. 8. Let the organic solvent layer separate, it wil float on top of the water. The way to separate the layers is with a separatory funnel, or the approximate version (a plastic bag). Pour the entire contents of the bottle into the sealable plastic bag, seal it, let the layers separate, clip off the bottom corner, and let the watery layer (on the bottom) drain out into the drain. Then let the organic layer drain into a jar.
this is a good way to go blind . .. if youre lucky! sounds like a death brew, there isnt one ingredient there that should be consumed.
just chug the cough medicine (as long as dextromethorphan as only active ingredient), you dont need to do a chemistry experiement to trip, deal with the taste
ammonia fumes are far more potenially dangerous and difficult to deal with than the possibility of a corrosive burn from lye in a non-lab setting. lye may be dissloved in water slowly and in a safe, well ventailated, area without much risk of discovery.
That should work if you're trying to commit painful suicide. If you want to trip, and don't want to chug a bottle of robo, just get pure DXM HBr powder from a supplier. Or, if you're intrepid, there are a few extraction methods that work that don't involve caustic or explosive chemicals. I think you got your "methamphetamine synthesis" and "DXM extraction" manuals mixed up.
It sounded like a reasonable technique to me. The ammonia (or other base) is used to convert the DXM HBr to the freebase, which is then extracted into a nonpolar solvent (the lighter fluid). Neither of these chemicals should appear in the end product if reasonable care is used.
You're right, with the proviso that "reasonable care is used". I would, however, boil out the solvent (w/ proper ventilation and breathing protection) rather than draining it, in hopes that it is all removed. Or letting it sit until it all naturally volatilizes. Letting that brew sit somewhere well-ventilated for enough time could be difficult. I don't know about you, but I like my DXM to be lighter fluid-free and without any potentially dangerous organic impurities. You could also add acid to the freebase to form a more stable salt.The devil is in the details and just because a method is feasible doesn't mean is should be attempted by everyone. While the starter of this thread may be a very competent kitchen chemist, encouraging minors to mess around like this with something they potentially intend to consume is dangerous. Enough people die from fooling around with DXM. What I was referring to with the meth comment is this. Rather than bothering with all that, generating nasty fumes, and potentially attracting undue attention or poisoning myself, I would simply add 7% NaOH solution (not ammonia) to the robo and allow the DXM base to precipitate. Then filter through an ordinary coffee filter. Best if done slowly, perhaps 3 to 4 cycles of small amounts of NaOH solution to get it all out. Once precipitation is done, decant and filter. As always, use active ingredient DXM-only formulations (although this applies to any extraction method for optimal results). Take as needed. The beauty of this method--less steps, fewer hazardous substances, less potential for disaster. This is what I would do anyway. Assuming I decided I wanted to spend a lot more money and time for an inferior, lower purity product. But to each their own I guess. If we keep working at it, eventually we CAN make DXM a controlled substance.
well it didnt work so now im just going to out and buy some shit for growing shroom i hope the shrooms work better
Did you end up with anything usable? The shrooms should work out a lot better anyway. DXM's cool from time to time, but they can't touch shrooms. They're also a lot healthier.
