Ok, I know this is a hot topic but like the title states, I'm going to teach you a few ways to get the goodies out of pod's, I better get a SHIT Load of rep for this, because truly I rather keep this to myself, but it's nice to show off your work sometimes.

So, to start you're going to need some forum of opium, what ever it is you need to dissolve it, and if your using dried pod's your going to need to make tea first then evp all the water out leaving you with red rock opium, then dissolve it in DH20 then add a little bit of some acid solution, then do a pull on it 1 is fine, then discard the solvent, then we are going to basified it add a little sodium carbonate to unused DH20 once all dissolved add small amounts of the basified DH20 to the other acidic DH20 now making it basified just add enough to raise the ph you don't have to hit 9.1 on this tek, then sit back and wait 15 min, and you should start to see little pieces of white particles floating around and settling at the bottom of your jar, slowly pull of the DH20 without pulling the white stuff then allow to evp.

And for the next extraction, get a shit load of poppy seeds then put them into a DH20 shake and add a small amount of HCL 1-4 drops should do it, and then shake and shake and do a little dance if you want too, and the solution should turn a lit brown, strain the seeds and evp the water, yay you got a simi pure fourm of morphine.

and the last way, is almost the same as the first but you raise the ph up all the way to 9.1 where the morphine itself should go to the solvent you should do at least 6-9 pulls then condense the solvent and then evp.

There Y'all go hope this helps, and don't forget to plus rep!

Peace,

Like what? a different acid/base extraction?
I posted this link in the topic started by Camaro Opium, morphine and heroin

My buddy has done the same extraction using less quantity of course. He uses calcium hydroxide(pickling lime found at the grocery store) to make the Morphine soluble in cold water and most of the other alkaloids not soluble, filters, and discards the gunk, keeping the calcium morphenate solution. He then reheats the calcium morphenate solution and adds ammonium chloride diluted in distilled water until the PH reaches 9. Then, he cools the solution and filters the morphine freebase from the solution, letting it dry. That will leave you with some nice smokable morphine. You can also take it a step farther and add HCL acid to distilled water, then filter out some of the impurities using activated carbon. This will leave you with eatable/sniffable/injectable morphine HCL.

Peace!:peace:

Here's another way, and by the way I tried to plus rep you but can't have to find others that desever it before I can plus rep you again. Also, I tried all the local stores for pickling lime, but couldn't find it.

Here is a list of all the items/chemicals you will need:

2 pots: Capable of holding at least 12 Liters each
Liquid Measuring Cups: Cups that measure in mL, and one that measures in L
Strainer: Made of Metal with wire mesh
Stirring Spoon: Made of Metal, Plastic or Wood
Open Flame Device: Stove or Bunsen Burner
Thermometer: Must be able to measure 75ºC and 80ºC in liquid
Gram Scale: Preferable to measure to the nearest 100th of a gram (i.e 5.25g)
1 Pack of Large Coffee Filters
2 Glass Baking Dish's
Oven (Optional)
Portable Fan (Optional)
Clock and Timer: Useful for exact times.. duh!
Papaver Somniferum: Dried Poppy Pods +10cm of the stalk
Distilled Water: H2)O, Also know as dH2O
Activated Carbon: C
Citric Acid: H3C6H5O7
Ethyl Alcohol (Optional): C2H5OH, Must be 200 proof/100% alcohol. It CAN NOT BE DENATURED
Hydrochloric Acid: HCl, Must be 10% or higher
Potassium Hydroxide: KOH
Calcium Carbonate (Optional): CaCO3, Can be used in place of KOH
Ammonium Chloride: NH4Cl


Step 1: 50 Grams of Poppy Straw is ground up into a fine powder by using a blender or a coffee grinder. (Poppy Straw is dried Papaver Somniferum, or "opium poppy" pods and 10cm of the stalk. Tazmanian poppies have the highest yield of Morphine content at 21%. Each pod should roughly contain 21% Morphine, 16% Codeine, 14% Thebaine and 9% papaverine. Poppy Straw can be bought in a local flower shop or online legaly in the U.S. and Eurpoe for use in decorative pieces. In Europe, one can actually grow up to like 500 square feet legally... so long as you don't score them
)

Step 2: For each gram or poppy straw used, 10 times the ammount of distilled water should be used. So for our 50g we will use 5 liters of distilled H2O. This water is gently heated to 80Cº and slightly acidified using citric acid to a pH of 6.1. The reason for acidifying is becasue Morphine is extracted easier with acids. The Morphine is drawn out of the plant easier and by doing this will result in a higher grade end product as well as more end product. Another option is to add 585mL of Ethyl Alcohol to help with the Morphine attach to the citric acid. Again this adds to yield and purity/efficiency.

Step 3: The Poppy Straw is then added to the simmering water and stired every 20 minutes or so. This is left to steep for about 4 hours. At no time should this solution boil, because Morphine breaks down above 85Cº.

Step 4: After 4 hours of soaking, the poppy water is run through a metal mesh strainer 3 times. This will remove most of the large plant materials. The liquid is then run through a large coffee filter. Doing this will remove all the rest of the plant material. The plant material is then discarded and the water is placed back on the stove top. (The plant material can also be used to make a poppy tea. Or, one can preform steps 1-4 with half of the distilled water to get any last remaning Morphine out)

Step 5: The solution is slowly heated to 75Cº and Potassium Hydroxide (KOH-) is added until the pH reaches an alkalinity of 9.1. Solids should start to form in the liquid. These solids are plant fats, waxes, papaverine, thebaine, some codeine and other materials that you do not want in you're Morphine. This aqueous solution should be left at 75ºC for about 25 minutes. The KOH binds to the Morphine in the Poppy Solution to create Calcium Morphenate. (Alternatly Calcium Carbonate can be used to create Calcium Morphenate. However I feel that KOH is the best choice) Calcium Morphenate is water soluble, so it remains in liquid form. However all of the unwanted materials become water insoluble. This means that they will turn to solids and sink to the bottom of the pot or "fall out". This should be left to sit and cool for about 4 hours.

Step 6: This solution is again run through a large coffee filter. The Calcium Morphenate passes through the filter in the liquid, while the unwanted solids stay in the filter. The solids are then thrown away.

Step 7: The solution is gently heated to 75Cº once again. After about 10 minutes of warming, Ammonium Chloride is added to bring the pH to an alkalinity of exactly 11.1. The reason the pH must be exact is that Morphine will not precipitate below this solution, and it will form very slowly above it. For maximum effiency, 11.1 is needed. This action of adding NH4Cl turns the water soluble Calcium Morphenate into water a insoluble Morphine Base.

Step 8: The solution is then run through a cloth filter. The waste liquid that passes through is disposed of and the solids left behind on the filter are kept and put into a glass baking dish. These solids are then left out to dry. One can also place the solids into the oven at 155ºF. The door should be left open and a portable fan should be left to blow on the material. This is the fastest way to dry. When dried, this stuff is Morphine Base. It should be a coffee colored crystaline powder.

Step 9: This powder is then covered with 10% (or higher %) Hydrochloric Acid and left to sit for 20 minutes. There should be about 3mm HCl above the Morphine Base. In the span of 20 minutes the solutionshould be stirred 4 times, or once every 5 minutes. This liquid is then passed through activated charcoal. The liquid that comes through is left to dry. The oven method can again be used. When dry this should be a white odorless crystaline powder, otherwise known as Morphine Hydrochloride. This is an all natural alkaloid and isoquinoline from a flower.

Thats it! This could also easily be turned into Diacetyl Morphine with AA or AAA. Heroin is exactly Morphine, except the 3 and 6 diol group is acetylated.
That took me about 2 weeks to come up with, so tell me what you guys think.

My buddy has done many extractions, many different ways(including the one you just mentioned). he prefers the one I just posted the link to, seems your a bright person so I'm positive you'll have no problems figuring out the exact amounts for the material you are working with, just remember the PH levels and you're all good. You can extract morphine from the whole entire plant, roots and all.

The ammonium hydroxide and pickling lime method is the fastest possible way to extract morphine from the poppy plants and latex my buddy has run across. Try to see if you can order some pickling lime off the net.

What is your source for ammonium hydroxide? SA(100% ammonium hydroxide) or janitorial strength ammonia(10% ammonium hydroxide).

:peace:

My buddy always runs his plant material through acidic DH2O at least 4 times. This ensures all the alkaloids are converted into their salt form and every last bit is extracted. He then condenses it all down into a super saturated solution.

You are correct, never boil the water it will cause the Morphine to decompose. 150-165 degrees Fahrenheit is best, and he uses porcelain boiling chips to make sure there are no hot spots in the heated solution.:peace:

I ended having to do that with not only pickling lime but Ammonium Chloride.

I ended up finding hydrated lime at a gardening store:roll:

awesome, good luck brother.:peace:

thank you, and thank you for all the info you shared. It's going very well. Had to turn my phone off so I don't have any intrusions! But have been workin for the past few hours with no interruptions and almost ready to sample.:peace:

Nice, maybe you could take a before and after pic??? A picture of some raw opium and then the Morphine HCL end product???? Just a thought, my buddy's is normally tanish brown, but he has gotten white Morphine HCL crystals a few times now(sort of perfected the tech), never took any pictures though.:peace:

Will do, just got to go and pic up a camra, and I was high as heck last night.:mrgreen:

i dont get why most people dont like morphine, usually people around my neck of the woods can get morphine pills for mad cheap and still no one likes them

Real morphine not oxy or codeine, but then again tar goes for 80 a g.

:o Omg, I'm so fucken happy right now, I ordered some leaves from peru afew weeks ago:fire: and that extraction is going good!
