@Deliciousness The classic ways to morphine are 3: the Merck, The Mohr and the Gregory processes.

Merck process. The opium is exhausted with cold water and the resultant liquor concentrated to a syrupy consistency. It is then precipitated hot with powdered sodium carbonate and heated as long as ammonia is given off; the solution should remain alkaline to phenolphthalein. After standing for twenty-four hours, the resultant precipitate is filtered and washed with cold water; when the wash water is colourless, the precipitate is dissolved in alcohol at 85°. The alcoholic solution is evaporated, to dryness and the residue is exhausted by means of dilute acetic acid, which is added in small quantities as neutralization proceeds. The acetic acid solution is treated with decolorizing charcoal, then filtered and precipitated with ammonia, care being taken to avoid an excess. The precipitate is filtered, washed, and purified by crystallization from alcohol; concentration of the alcoholic mother-liquor yields a further quantity of morphine.

Thiboumery and Mohr process. The opium is cut into thin slices and treated with three times its weight of hot water until a homogeneous paste is obtained. The liquid is filtered off, the residue pressed and again treated with three times its weight of water. The solutions obtained are evaporated to half their volume and poured into boiling milk of lime: one part of lime in ten parts of water should be used for four parts of opium. The precipitate is filtered off and re-treated with three parts of water to one part of opium; it is then filtered off again. The lime solutions are united and concentrated to a quantity twice the weight of the opium used. The solution is filtered, heated to boiling, and the morphine is precipitated by the addition of ammonium chloride. After cooling, it is filtered: the precipitate is washed, then purified by solution in hydrochloric acid and crystallization of the morphine hydrochloride.

Robertson-Gregory process. The opium is completely exhausted by five to ten times its weight of cold water; the solution obtained is evaporated to the consistency of a soft extract, and then the process is repeated with cold distilled water. This aqueous re-extraction causes impurities to precipitate, they are filtered off and the solution obtained is evaporated until its density is 10° Baumé. One hundred and twenty grammes of calcium chloride for each kilogram of opium are added to the boiling liquor which is then diluted with a quantity of cold water equal to its own volume. A precipitate of meconate and sulphate of calcium is thus formed and is filtered off. After filtering, the liquid is again concentrated, and this produces a new deposit which consists almost exclusively of calcium meconate. This deposit is filtered off and the solution is left standing. After a few days it becomes a crystalline mass composed of morphine hydrochloride and codeine hydrochloride: this is known as "Gregory's salt". The crystals obtained are drained and then placed in a cloth and squeezed out in the press. They are purified by successive crystallizations, the solutions being: decolorized each time with animal charcoal. When the crystals are sufficiently pure, they are dissolved in water and the morphine is precipitated with ammonia; the codeine remains in solution.

I found a field of opium poppies once. Picked a few pods. Cut them so the white latex bled and soaked cigarette papers with it. Let them dry and smoked them. The first one felled me like a tree. After that they were fantastic. I went back to the field and harvested. I dried these and made laudanum: blending the dry pods, soaking them in 40% vodka for an hour, straining with cheesecloth and voila: laudanum. Careful though…it’s addictive.

I've watched your video about 6 times but THIS time, I'm using it as an instructional teaching video... my harvest was yesterday!
No more chronic pain & no more f***ing asking, praying or begging at the doctors office or pharmacy and NO MORE waiting to see what brand or prescription the Gov decides to "let" me suffer with or without!
By the way, everyone else's similar videos fell short.
I nominate you Pharmaceutical Culinary ArtsTeacher of the Year!
Thank you!

How did it go?

Misty Moreton

@tyemaddog it went well, I think... the only thing is I should’ve strained it better because it doesn’t melt down like it’s supposed to, it burns and leaves a little crunchy burned up ash afterwards. Not bad for a first time though. I need to get the straining part down better, I don’t know if using a t-shirt will also strain out the good stuff but I did use a paper towel and it seemed like that strained out too much... still learning i guess

Yeah until you go to prison for manufacturing heroine

@Misty Moreton Can you recommend a site for the seeds? If not I completely understand.

@🔱RetroLiftsPR'S 🔱 As long as people aren’t growing an acre of it and it’s for personal use they most likely aren’t gonna get bothered unless they start bringing attention to themselves.

Anything that keeps one away from doctors is a gift from the universe.

Im convinced everything I need is already in nature, if it's not then I don't need it

@Trez the Lion much like the internet, which was discovered in 1994 underneath our flat earth.
