Title: Apomorphine
Post by: Pethidine on March 14, 2004, 05:59:00 AM

Thought that this question belonged in the newbee forum...

Regarding Apomorphine, I know this substance is not a controlled substance, but given its direct derivation from morphine treated with HCl, would it be considered a drug precursor?  I am not interested in trying to derive morphine from this compound, my interest is more in the drug's emetic effect.  My concern is, would authorities think that I was trying to derive morphine from this compound, and is that even possible (for apomorphine to be changed back to morphine)?

Any input is appreciated.  Again, I am not interested in changing apomorphine back to morphine, if that is even possible, but if it is, then I can see a chemical supplier being suspicious?...

Thanks,
Pethidine

would it be considered a drug precursor?

Not at all, as its structure is completely dissimilar to morphine and cannot be made into an active opioid again.

Thanks Rhodium,

I was fairly sure it would be safe, but wanted an expert opinion.
