Actually the cold water extraction does work, since the codeine is water soluble, and acetominophen is not. The acetominophen would rise to the top, while the codeine is left in the water. Just scrape off the crap and drink the water.

There always is a bit of chemical loss with the cold water extraction, unless you are a veteran at it, so you might want to add a little more in when you attempt to extract it via cold water extraction.
Brokedown Palace Reviewed by Brokedown Palace on . Can I do anything with this? While looking for some flu medicine in my cupboard I find a bottle of pills. These pills apparently each contain 300mg of acetaminophen, 15mg of caffeine and 8 mg of codeine phosphate...can I do anything with this? This is mostly idle curiosity since what little I do know about codeine doesn't really appeal to me, but if anyone could help me out it'd be appreciated. Rating: 5
