Well, yuck is your first thought too huh?

Still, our body enzymatically demethylates codeine to morphine and that is about as far as it goes...

So the question is, if one were a moderate-high user of codeine, how much morphine would be in a weeks urine?

I'd expect that acid hydrolysis of the glucaronide (?) to give the free morphine/codeine salt - separation of the insolubles formed

Base with sodium hydroxide to get the morphenate (amongst a LOT of other crud), use an NP to remove any NP solubles

Hit the morphenate/etc. with Ammonium chloride to release the morphine base into fresh NP layer (which will take some codeine with it).


The initial acid/base should remove a LOT of non-phenolic crud that is NP soluble

The other phenolic constituents might be an issue

Any ideas?

LOL, I was going to bring this up in Jons morphine thread, but shame or dignity got the best of me! But since it has been brought up by someone else, you could actually recycle your drugs with cation exchange resin! Same as the kompot.

You could literally make a crude extract and pass it over SA-2 cation exchange resin, and collect a good 90% yield.

I know a high percentage passes through untouched but I am not sure of the exact number. The 90% was in reference to the yield obtainable from the crude sample using the resin in question, so 90% of the morph from the urine extract (I never thought I would be talking about urine extracts!).

I understand that urine was the first source of elemental phosphorus. Alchemists had entire neighborhoods saving it so that it could be boiled down in their labs.  Maybe we could kill two stones with one bird.

Between 20 and 50% of mescaline makes it through intact as well. (Cochin J, Woods LA, Seevers MH (February 1951). "The absorption, distribution and urinary excretion of mescaline in the dog". J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 101 (2): 205–9), not to mention a bunch of other stuff... (http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2008-02/your-sewer-drugs)

Screw processing just my own urine. Here's my plan:

1. Round up a shit-ton of ion exchange resin.
2. Rent a backhoe.
3. Process the contents of my neighborhood sewage pipe.
4. Enjoy  (shortly before having my liver explode from the ridiculous amounts of every pharmaceutical known to man).

hehe its poppy season here and my god there are so many.
ive had to stop myself one week less a day now since I stopped my self.

it got to the point were I would just walk down the main street and pick them as I go.
just like a mushy straight in the mouth.

speed from piss
phosy from piss
urea from piss
hydratropic aldehyde from horse piss
a indepth discussion on the hive about drunks piss changing chemicals
and now this .

nope your all sick I say ill stick to eating the pods
