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.
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.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.
forreal this shit had me intrested till i read his post lol didnt understand SHIT he said lolAhhhhh, 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
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:
