DXM question

[MP-A]

I have 2 bottles of robitussin extra strength, and i wanted to know how to convert it into a powder form. (i already read the faq and couldnt find out how)

The Materials:

• Dextromethorphan containing cough syrup. DO NOT get the kind that contains active ingredients such as guaifenesin or acetominiphen, only get the kind that has DXM and alchohol in it. At the levels you'll be drinking those items could be fatal! Get two 4 oz. bottles.
• Ordinary Household ammmonia (clear, not lemon or some other scent)
• Naptha Lighter Fluid ("Zippo", or "Ronsonal" are good ones.) Be sure to test different brands to be sure they're ok to use. Take a drop of fluid and let it evaporate from a glass plate or mirror. It should evaporate with no residue.
• Citric Acid. (lemon juice workes fine.)

Equipment:

• Some containers and flexible rubber tubing to use as a siphon. Fish tank hose is fine...

Concept:

Prepare ahead of time a solution of the citric acid in water. For two bottles of syrup (4 oz each) use 3 tablespoons of lemon juice in 8 fluid ounces of water.

Add ammonia to DXM. DXM converts from hydrobromide salt to freebase and precipitates out of water. Since it's now nonpolar it wants to go into a non polar solvent. Now you add a nonpolar solvent and shake hard. Free base goes into solution in solvent. Let the solvent float to the top. (it doesn't mix with water) Physically separate the layers. Now the DXM is in the nonpolar layer, mix that with the acid and shake well. The DXM converts back into the acid salt (since lemon juice has citric acid in it, it makes DXM hydrocitrate). This is so cool because the DXM is practically pulled across the oil-water interface by the hydrogen ion gradient Now you throw out the oil layer, and the DXM is now acid salt in the lemon juice. Boil it for a few minutes on a hotplate or in the microwave, stir it good, so any volatile solvent that remains will evaporate.

You are left with "Agent Lemon" or "DXemon juice", A highly concentrated product, which is superior to cough syrup -- if you really wanted to, you could probably boil away the water -- with no danger, since the amount of solvent is almost nothing, and get a crystaline product that might be cut with anhydrous citric acid.

Step by step how to:

1. Pour 2 (4 oz.) bottles of cough syrup in a jar with a good water tight lid. (a mason jar or something)
2. Pour in a lot of ammonia. Excess is not a serious problem. An ammount of ammonia about equal to the syrup volume or more is good.
3. Stir.
4. Add about a 1/2 inch thick layer of lighter fluid on top of the ammonia cough syrup mixture.
5. Seal it up and shake the hell out of it. At least five minutes or so.
6. Let the organic solvent layer separate, it will float to the top of the water. (the lighter fluid now contains the dxm)
7. Use a siphon to separate the layers. Fill the siphon (your flexible rubber tube) with water, and while pluging one end with your finger plunge the other end into the water/ammonia layer (the pink junk under the lighter fluid).
8. Hold the free end of the siphon below the other end of the siphon, and let go of the end. Let the liquid drain into a jar. Throw the pink watery/ammonia crap out.
9. If you want to minimize the amount of water-ammonia-cough syrup inactive ingredients, add more water to the lighter fluid, shake it up again, let it separate and siphon again. You can do it three or four times to be sure you get all the ammonia out. When done you should only have the solvent layer left.
10. Now mix the solvent layer with the citric acid solution (lemon juice).
11. Shake the hell out of it. 5 minutes or so.
12. After that, let it settle. It takes a few minutes to separate. Wait.
13. Next stage. Use the siphon again. Be a little conservative and don't let any solvent get into the siphon, so leave a little water layer below the lighter fluid. Toss the lighter fluid out and save the lemon juice portion (it now contains the DXM)
14. Boil the lemon juice (on an electric stove or burner) on low heat for a while, the theory is that if there's a little bit of solvent there, it will boil away.
15. Transfer to a snapple jar or something equivelent and refridgerate it to help it cool off. Once cooled off, drink it! It tastes bitter as hell so (dxm is bitter tasting) you may want to boil as much of the water away as possible so you won't have to drink so much of it. Maybe even add some sugar to it or something.

Effects:
Expect to start to feel the effects about an hour after drinking it. After about hour two, you're gonna be buzzin big time! from:http://www.third-plateau.org/tips/extract.html#citric

this is by far the easyest way to extract DXM

[MP-A]

But this doesnt tell me how to make it in a powder form...I already know how to extract it, done that with 700mg already.

[GIMpy12]

well whats it look like now is it like a thick paste?

[MP-A]

yea, liquid. I think i found my answer though while looking at the faq again:

After the DXM extraction is complete you will be left with a liquid (as the extraction says)
If you evaporate the liquid you will be left with a powder.

This powder is straigt dxm-in other words its a pure form I.E. Freebased DXM.
Basically anything that is freebased can be smoked--
So if the dxm powder is smoked in say a pilo (a glass tube with a ball on the end--yaya a tweakers pipe) you should get pretty fucked up--and by smoking dxm you can probally keep your dxm extraction amount rationed pretty well compared to drinking it all after its been extracted.
(in other words smoking anything is usually much stronger then drinking/taking somthing orally--as long as its in a freebased form)


But anyways, its great how i found it. I was driving around and stopped at a few drug stores to see what they had, eventually i went to a winn dixie that was going out of business, shelves were empty and people were buying everything. I found a few bottles of robo extra strength (350mg per bottle) and ganked em right there. Easy as pie

ok just what i was going to say but anyways happy trippin

[di0med3]

lemme know if smoking dxm powder works..

[MP-A]

Im planning on putting it into a pill (or a baggie so she can snort it) and giving it to a friend of mine, actually. I cant take DXM since i take too many antidepressants (4)

[di0med3]

well w.e she does with it.. if she snorts it id like to know if it works well..
