    ok here we go

    a) Which is the most potent, morphine sulfate-hydrochloride-citrate?

    b)after preforming a cold water extraction on Lortab or whatever (Hydrocodone Bitartrate/ APAP) i then put the glass container on a candle melter/coffee warmer, its hot enough to evaporate the water, but not too hot as to disrupt the opiates,(i presume this cause they still work great afterwards)--anyhow, when this is preformed, what exactly is my ending chemical, is it still hydrocodone bitatrate or has the extraction changed it in any way?

    c)could certain things be added during the extractio to change the chemical makeup of the opiate say, adding baking soda to try and mae a freebase hydrocodone, or soemthing else to make it hydrocodone-citrate-hydrochloride?

    d) same question as before but dealing with Percocet (Oxycodone Hydrochloride/APAP)?

    im not very skilled in chemistry, so if these are totalyl stupid questions take it easy on me. thanx for any input.

    well there is a lot of apap but it isn't hard to serapte them at all a simple cold water extraction takes care of that easily, APAP isn't water soluable, opiates are, especially in cold water.

    APAP is soluable. Just needs high temperatures to disolve...

    Actually acetometphen is NOT very soluable in water. thats why cold water extracions work buddy. you will end up with some APAP, but im sure the thousands of people who do cold water extractions on their lortabs, percs, etc, aren't all wrong, other wise most of them would be dead from APAP overdose.
