Is it possible?

[SomeDude]

I would never do this, but after reading all this stuff about dxm, I wondered if it is possible to freebase it. If you bought the powder form from a chem supplier could it be done? I think it most commonly comes in the hydrobromide salt form, so would it be as simple as mixing with baking soda and cooking it up? Would it withstand the heat? I dunno, even if it was possible it's probly a really bad idea, I don't even like dxm.

Anything that forms a hcl/hbr salt can be based, but whether it would be a good idea is a different question. Even if it works great you would find yourself smoking several hundred mg of probably horrible tasting shit.

UPA DOPE, DOWWWWN WIT HOPE

Oh I just realized I knew somethin' about this. Well, you can make the freebase powder, and I've experimented with it on several occasions. But smoking DXM is said to be toxic. (right Null?) The official DXM faq is the best resource on methods of DXM consumption (afaik). I found a very easy method a few years ago, so I'll do my best to remember the recipe.

I used a very inexpensive cough preparation which I found at the local Walmart. It had 400 some odd mgs of DXM, as well as Guaifenesin(sp.). The brand was Equate, and they go for like.. $2.50 (or around there) for an 8 oz bottle.
I picked up some ammonia for real cheap, and some naptha. (well my friend picked up the latter -- naptha is lighter fluid.)
You're also going to need a two liter bottle.


Preparation.
Okay. You're going to pour some of your ingredients into the 2-liter bottle. I *believe* the ratio is:

8 oz tussin.
8 oz ammonia
10% of the the sum of the two ingredients previously mentioned. (by volume.)
I'm not positive on this ratio, so google it before you do it. (It's not hard to use a search engine.) Once you're mixed the ingredients, shake the HELL out of them for at *least* five minutes. I always shook it for ten to twelve.

Once it's all good and mixed, you'll need a very large ziplock bag to pour the contents in. Once they're in the bag, put some tacks in the top and put it on your door, or tie it to your door knob, I don't fuckin' care.. Just make sure it will be off the ground, and in a position where it won't be disturbed. It needs to sit still for like an hour.

Once it's sat there for a while, you'll see a clear liquid rise to the top. That's the naptha. Now here's the hard part. You'll need to cut a very small hole in one of the corners, and let the red liquid drop out into a trash can or some shit. Once most of the red liquid is gone, get a bowl ready. The clear liquid at the top is where the DXM freebase is. When the red's gone, move your bowl over the bag, and catch all the naptha.

*Note: I believe if there are red spots in your naptha, you need to do the process over, because you've managed to somehow get ammonia stuck in the naptha. This is very important, as comsumption of ammonia can be lethal.

Final step.
Now you're going to let the naptha dry. I always got a blowdryer, and sat there for like 40 minutes drying the naptha, but you could also put the bowl out in the sun to let it evaporate. What's left in the bowl is dxm freebase. Always ingest orally. The other methods have been either fatal, or just don't work.

Yeah, I'm not sure how safe the method is, but I *do* remember the trip being a lot cleaner than my other trips. :)
