Opium to morphine or herion

Well aware of raising poppies and extracting opium, but have always wondered how to make into herion. Done tons of looking never found out how.

The morphine is isolated first from the other psychoactive opiates in the latex (codine, thebaine, papaverine, and noscapin.). Then it is "cooked" with acetic hydride and a few other chemicals ([FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]sodium carbonate, activated charcoal, chloroform, ethyl alcohol, ether, and acetone)[/FONT] to create Diactylmorphine (Heroin). Your best bet would be to concentrate some acetic acid from store bought vinegar (even better get some acetyl chloride) to yield some 6-MAM.

You basicly just use Acetic Anhydride to convert Morphine into Diacetylmorphine, which is simply two morphine molecules stuck together. Codeine should be removed and the latex purified before acetylation to avoid acetylating the codeine. Codeine, having only one -OH group, is acetylated into acetylcodeine, whereas the "Di-" prefix in Diacetylmorphine refers to Morphine's two -OH groups being replaced by acetyloxy groups during acetylation. Acetylcodeine is a toxic convulsant found in impure street heroin.

**Do not attempt any of these procedures. They are dangerous and illegal.**

Ahhhhh, say what. Could you put that in terms I can understand. Thanks for the help, but I must have burned out that brain cell group. If you can try to break it down for me.

Thanks

Thanks
forreal this shit had me intrested till i read his post lol didnt understand SHIT he said lol

When using Morphine, without having to convert Codeine to Morphine, all other steps are for purification. Reacting with Acetic Anhydride is the only step required to turn Morphine into Diacetylmorphine. You could mix Morphine & Acetic Anhydride in a spoon, heat it and create heroin.

Acetic Anhydride is what causes heroin to have that sour acidic smell that straight opium doesn't have. It is "the heroin making chemical" and possession of its purified form can be enough to lock you up.

Here's a good explanation that isn't too complex while still describing the technical aspects:

Thanks going to take abit to take all this in. Wondering can you just use the latex in the same manner as the coedine. Or do you first have to refine the latex, if you have
any info or a place to look, I would appreciate it. Great references on the articles shown.

Really, the only thing that has to be done to create diacetylmorphine is letting morphine react with acetic anhydride. Everything else is just refining to make a more pure product. For the lowest grade H, low-quality opium is heated with acetic anhydride and dried- all done. The next step up is better, filtered opium being used. The next better H is made by removing the morphine (most of the codeine comes with it) from the opium using calcium hydroxide. The solution is filtered, its pH adjusted down with ammonium chloride to cause the morphine & codeine to precipitate out, and then allowed to react with acetic anhydride. The calcium hydroxide is the same lime that we use growing plants. The final, purest form of diacetylmorphine has the codeine either chemically removed or, more commonly, converted into morphine prior to acetylation.

There's a good page about this somewhere, I'll see if I can find it rq.

if you dont know your chemistry you might not wanna get into something like this, not everything is so safe you can play with
