I recently saw a post from around two months ago asking why conventional opiate powder

wasn't more common/cheaper than RC's like fentanyl.

The majority of answers to this revolved around production cost, availability of resources,
and difficulty to make when compared to heroin or full synthetic analogs. Overall none of
these answers are true.
So, today I'll be teaching you how easy it is to make ~600mg of pure dihydromorphinone
(aka hydromorphone or "Dilaudid") for less than $0.50/mg. For reference your typical 8mg
Dilaudid will go for $10-75 on the streets depending on your area. I typically see them for
$25-35.
I do not recommend trying this at home, this is all theoretical, but any fairly knowledgeable
amateur chemist with the slightest determination wouldn't have trouble with it. I will not
include specific pH or temperature values; I will only outline the process. Like the darknet I
don't want this to be easy enough for anyone to do it, you'll need to use your brain and do
some additional research. The main reason for posting this is to disprove the myth that our
favorite pharmaceutical opiates are impossible to synthesize.
Below is a list of everything you'll need.
 Morphine HCl - 1 gram
Cost to source: ~$100
You can make this yourself fairly easily with pods or poppy seeds.I've found good quality
unwashed seeds yield roughly 100mg/lb. You'll need 10lbs. I wouldn't buy more than four at
a time. Iirc there is a brand popular with tea users that sells 10lb bags on Amazon, just do
some research.
 Palladium Black - 100mg
Cost to source: ~$10-20
You can buy this from a lot of places on the internet for around $100/g. Many US places
won't ship it to you unless you're a school/university/company but China sure doesn't give a
fuck.
 HCl (Hydrochloric Acid)
You can buy this shit at Home Depot, use your head.
 NaOH (Lye)
You can buy this shit at Home Depot too, use your head.
Aside from the stuff listed above you'll need some glassware (or anything really), a
stable/adjustable heat source, and coffee filters (a large leur lock with a filter makes
everything easier though). Oh yeah, and an accurate milligram scale. Transfer pipettes too
probably, you get the gist figure out what you're going to use to do each step ahead of time.
The process is insanely simple and to be honest the hardest part about it is getting the
Morphine HCl out of the poppy seed wash.
 Step 1
Dissolve 1g Morphine HCl in slightly acidic HCl solution and add 100mg Palladium Black.
 Step 2
Reflux for three hours. I won't tell you the temperature range but it's easy to find and the hint
is that it's between 60-90°C.
 Step 3
Filter palladium out and basify solution with NaOH.
 Step 4
Siphon off precipitated base solution and recrystallize with alcohol.
Congratulations, you now have roughly 600mg of pure Dilaudid powder. Now let's hope
some darknet entrepreneurs see this and hop on it, just don't forget to share the love with the
community.
