if by juice you mean a liquid preparation of methadone, all you'd need to do would be dry off the liquid (though it wouldnt be pure methadone, most likely, unless it was previously an injectable solution) if by juice you mean fruit juice, i'd assume you've heard some bizarre urban legend....
by juice i mean juice. its what they put it in for oral use -- so i need to either precipitate the methadone out-leaving the sugar etc. behind or a way to remove the "contaminants" leaving (moslty) just the methadone in soloution before i can do the obvious - I need it almost pure or i'd be better off drinking the stuff!!! i've also heard of persons seperating it by pouring the liquid onto an electric frying pan causing the juice to gell up on top but i'd like to hear from somone who has done it to know the correct temp. i'm also tempted to try procedures intended for getting morphine out of dissolve opium - i'm no chemist so i'd like feedback but wouldn't the limestone or whatever used to pull the organic compotents out of the dissolved opium also pull the most of the juice compontents (in my case pink lemonade) out of soloution also??
then you probably ARE better off drinking the stuff. if you aren't trying to quit shooting/snorting, why would you be on methadone? seems counterproductive to me. i dunno....maybe theres a way to do this, i sure don't know how though. good luck i guess
Look man, i know you mean well, but i really do not condone shooting up methadone or anything for that matter. Don't you care about the track marks it leaves? and methadone is almost like heroin; i just thinks this is retarded. And i can tell that you feel bad about doing it because you don't want to say it. and also, i haven't come across one person who is proud of shooting up drugs.
by "do the obvious" i was refering to the instructions to evaporate the solotion actually!!! remarkable how selective quoting can twist the meaning of things eh?
i don't have a problem with people injecting drugs if that's how they wish to consume them, but if it's going to be done that way it has to be done in a safe manner, and if you're using addictive drugs this way (opiates/opioids, cocaine, amphetamine type drugs, etc.) then you've simply got to admit that its going to be way MORE addictive this way. injecting methadone extracted from juice is no more safe or legal than injecting heroin. you don't know what's going in your veins because you don't know how pure it is, don't know whats left in the juice and what from the juice was extracted with the methadone. they're still opiates and still going to be converted to morphine in the body, the only difference (as far as i know) should be the dosage and what the rush is like. the only reason i can see this as really being a bad idea isn't so much that he's shooting up, but that methadone is given to people so that they will STOP using heroin. the point of no longer using heroin is that you don't know what else you're shooting with it and because of this you don't REALLY know your dosage since you can't get pharmaceutical grade heroin.....and if you try to make a methadone extraction for the purpose of injecting it, you might as well be injecting heroin instead. the waiting lists for methadone treatment are long, and in some areas people wait years before they are admitted to the methadone programs. if this guy is in a treatment program trying to quit dope, then shooting up his methadone is NOT going to help. it just means he doesn't have to see a street dealer to do it. people have to wait so long to get into some methadone programs that people on the waiting list will sometimes die or disappear before they get accepted. these are programs designed to help save people's lives and (if all goes well) get them off of ALL opiates for good. its not always that easy, but if you're in a program like that to get methadone legitimately (the only reason i could see for having methadone mixed in juice) then you not only owe it to yourself, but owe it to the miserable junkies waiting to get into such programs, to use it the way you're supposed to, and work WITH the program instead of taking any measure you can for it to be like heroin. just my two cents....know it's not worth much....but in my city, i've heard the wait can be several YEARS after applying before you can get your methadone......i just think if you're gonna be shooting it anyway, you may as well go back to dope and let the people who are going to use the program correctly get a chance.... all of this goes for insufflation, too.
although i should avoid rebuting your well meaning concern - as a point of information i'll also inform you that an ocasional injection from a strile rig doesn't actually leave a mark... "tracks" as you say are actually scarred veins from over use and dirty equipment - please no more responses that don't actually adress the question (reason for the thread) common sense didctates anyone who ask about such a thing is experienced-educated-and especially SAFE i do not take this subject lightly and incidently agreed with the responses i read discouraging some one from injecting the ms they posted an inquiry about...really i do appreceate your concern but i assure harm reduction is my primary motivation even if you cant fathom how...
Dear god man, just answer the question he asked, its not your or mine or anyone elses business OR IS THIS THE PLACE to give this guy a lecture on why he souldnt do this or that, also if your so perfect that you feel the need to lecture him on clean living and the dangers of injecting drugs than what the hell are you doing hewre anyway?????????? If you cannot answer his question (as I feel this is the case) than save your speaches for your kids or somone who asks that question not the chemicaly related question he asks, go back and read what you answerd him with, does it answer the question?? or do you sound like Dr. Phil??
I agree stay on Topic. intenselylaidback I deleted that post for you. OK so who can answer his question?
