So, one night a couple of weeks ago, I had a craving, a dream, and in that dream, I was high, and I remembered the feeling. So, I got desperate, and ordered some OTC codeine from an online pharmacy in Canada, god bless our northern neighbors.
I'd done my reading on the cold water extraction technique in the days waiting for my medicinal saviour to arrive. I crushed up 18 pills and added 45ml of lukewarm water, gave it a stir, and let the glass sit in an icewater bath, with a thermometer in it. Once the temp reached 40F, I let it sit for 20 more minutes, and then filtered the solution through a regular coffee filter, soaked in cold water of course.
I downed the filtered solution at 9am, on a relatively empty stomach, I ate half a hotdog to start my digestive juices flowing in order to get the quickest and most intense high.
+ 0:15 - Feeling the tingle, I remember this, some anticipation, I can really feel the caffeine taking hold now.
+ 0:35 - Ah, Codeine bliss. Opiates rock. Music is fun.
+ 1:05 - Wow, the itchies really hit me with codeine, I got them with oxy and percs the first couple of times, but then after my tolerance built up I never experienced them anymore. Call me crazy, but I rather missed them.....it wasn't ever intense, just a warm fuzzy itchiness. I feel relaxed, but the caffeine really makes the codiene buzz a little less enjoyable.
+ 2:00 Codeine buzz fading, still really shaky from the caffeine.
+ 3:00 All gone, got another batch brewing. This time I will try 200mg
All in all, I liked it, OTC codeine works, I just wish there was a way to lose the caffeine.
Be careful, I've been through the throes of addiction, maybe not as hardcore as some people, but it's no joke, I used to sit and say that heroin/opiate users were weak, and that the 'withdrawal' was just an excuse to keep using. Withdrawal is real, it is absolute hell.
Best of luck to the rest of you psychonauts.
