a while back someone posted a delsym extraction that was pretty easy since it just used water. however i recently stumbled upon another extraction method to make dxm powder that seems rather easy too using coricidin (yes, i know cccs should be avoided but the extraction process got me intrigued) i found this on another website and i would put the link up but i dont wanna seem like im spamming. but if putting the link up is okay, let me know and ill re-edit this post. - MATERIALS - Cold water Coricidin Cough & Cold pills Stirring instrument Crushing instrument (a heavy book or board works fine, if you have a sturdy plate to collect the powder in) Fine-grained cloth for extraction (test it out with flour) Petroleum Ether (optional -- for creating a more refined product) Gelcaps (optional -- for consuming product in a way that won't make your stomach turn) - PROCEDURE - (1) Obtain a sizable quantity of Coricidin Cough & Cold pills. Note that some 1-10% of the DXM HBr in question will be lost in the process of the extraction of the CPM, (varying with the amount of water and the skill of the operator), so adjust your amounts accordingly. For 1050mg DXM (a mid-3rd plateau DXM dosage -- if this menas nothing to you, read William White's excellent DXM FAQ[1] -- for a 70kg person [i.e. your humble author]), 35 Coricidin pills would be needed (yielding an extreme overdose of 140mg CPM). 10% of 1050 is 105, so use (rounding down) an additional 3 pills, yielding an extraction ranging from 945mg to 1039mg DXM. This is a high dosage, and not appropriate for beginners. Please consult the FAQ for an appropriate dosing for your weight and experience, and use a similar procedure to calculate the amount of Coricidn you need. (2) Place the pills flat (i.e. not on top of one another) on a wide, sturdy plate (the large rectangular ones you get at a cafeteria are perfect) and use a board, book, other plate, or some other heavy instrument to crush them into a very fine powder. Make sure that there are NO large particles of pill left, only very fine powder. (3) Collect all the powder, and place it at the bottom of a flask or (for the equipment-impaired) a glass. Pour in enough cold water to cover over the pwoder several times over -- the more water, the more perfect of a CPM extraction you get, but also you will loose more DXM in the process. (4) Stir the water slowly until you get bored (a blender on a *VERY* slow setting might work, and a blender doesn't get bored), and let sit for a few hours. (5) Discard the water. This is not easy, as the powder will have the annoying tendancy to go with the water, and is far too small to be strained off. Evaporation will *NOT* work, as the CPM will be released back into the powder mix. You need a very fine grain of cloth to do this (you can test it first with flour ... see if the flour passes through when you pour water over it ... most garment cloth is okay). (6) The remaining powder should be DXM HBr anyone ever try this type of extraction? is it worth it?
regardless, I wouldn't fuck with CCCs or trust myself enough to believe I did the extraction right. debating tonight whether I should could pissy drunk or gulp a bottle or two of DXM. Been awhile since I did DXM, then again though, I'm not very HAPPY atm.
