Delsym cold water separation; a DXM extraction guide

If one were so inclined, one could acquire powdered dextromethorphan polistirex in its purest form using nothing more than:

- one bottle of Delsym cough syrup, containing dextromethorphan polistirex

- a working faucet and sink

- 2 empty plastic bottles; a 2-litre pop bottle and a 300 to 400 ml water bottle (one of those flimsy Aquafina ones is perfect)

- scissors

- a spoon

- a razorblade

- a small glass

- a blow dryer OR sunny windowsill

________________________

First, dump all the Delsym into the smaller bottle. Fill it 3/4 of the way up with water, and put the cap on. Shake it vigorously for about 23 seconds. Cut the top third off the 2-litre bottle.

The next part is easy: stand the bottle somewhere where it won’t be disturbed, and go do something else for at least 2 hours, preferably 5. When you come back, there will be an orange powder settled at the bottom of the bottle. don’t shake the bottle, or the powder will go back into the liquid and you’ll have to wait again.

The powder is dextromethorphan polistirex. See, it’s a DXM molecule that is surrounded with an edible type of plastic, so when you mix the syrup with water, the plastic-coated ingredient settles.

Now, place your larger emptier bottle in the sink. Carefully lift the smaller bottle, and hold it above the big bottle. Make an incision near the top to let the water flow out into the big bottle. Now keep cutting the incision lower and lower until there is only a small puddle on top of the sludgy orange powder. Cut the bottle in half. Let the bigger bottle sit for another 2+ hours.

If you have a hairdryer: Move away from the big bottle, and take the small bottle with the powder in it with you. Turn the hair dryer on low and blow-dry the puddle on top of the powder until it is gone, leaving just the moist sludge. Pour and scrape this sludge into your glass. Now, turn the dryer on high and hold it under the glass, to evaporate the rest of the moisture. Be careful not to blowdry the powder itself, or it will blow everywhere (duh).

If not: set it on a windowsill or some other warm, undisturbed location for 12+ hours, and let it evaporate.

You may need to poke and stir at it a little with a knife to get it to dry evenly. It should start to become a less vibrant orange, until it is a pale orange powder about the consistency of brown sugar. When it’s dry, spoon it into a baggie or some other container, and label it DXM (wouldn’t want mom cooking it into her brownies, right?).

Remember the big bottle? There should be some more powder settled to the bottom of it by now. A lot of people said that there would only have been a residual amount in this stuff and just let it run down the sink when they emptied the first bottle, but I’m a cheapskate and don’t want to let those specks go to waste. Do the same drain as with the small bottle, but just let it flow down the sink this time, unless you wanna go through a third settling process with an even bigger bottle. Your call.

Dry it the same way you did with the other sludge, and then deposit the powder into the baggie with the other batch. You’re done!

With a 145ml bottle of Delsym, this would produce an amount of DXM polistirex equivalent to 870mg (maximum) Dextromethorphan hydrobromide (that’s 30mg DXMp per teaspoon of cough syrup), though the weight of the powder will not reflect this due to variables such as the added weight of the polistirex molecule, loss from powder getting stuck to bottles and paraphernalia, and loss of DXM in the liquid you pour out; I would say you’d end up with anywhere between 650 mg and 750 mg, depending on how careful you were and how many times you let it settle. If you let it settle until there was absolutely no powder coming from the liquid, I’d say you have about 850mg tops.

To use, eat the powder or mix it into a drink. Do not snort, smoke or inject the powder, you will get hurt or die. Keep in mind that this product is pure, and will kick in much faster than it would in cough syrup form. It is very easy to overdose on, because you never know exactly how much you have in the first place. Also remember that trips from DXM polistirex last much longer than those on DXM HBr, and you may still be feeling noticeable after-effects for as long as 48 hours.
