Hi,

I haven't posted here before due to paranoia, but now that I've
been clean for 3 1/2 months, I feel safe in doing so. Although
I'm not a pharmacist, I've studied on pharmacy since I was 16
years old. I spent the last two years taking Fentanyl patch and
MS Contin by prescripion. The highest daily dose of MS Contin I
was on was 345mg a  day.

MS Contin comes in the following strengths:

15mg-blue, 15 on one side, V on the other
30mg-pink, 30 on one side, V on the other
60mg-orange, 60 on one side, V on the other
100mg-gray, 100 on one side, V on the other
200mg-(can't recall color), 200 on one side, V on the other

The 200mg should only be ingested if you have a very high
tolerance to narcotics. Otherwise it may stop your breathing!

These are time-release tablets with a plastic-like coating and a
wax binder matrix inside that is not water soluable. It forms a
gum if cooked up and will clog a syringe as it cools or in your
veins if you manage to shoot it. The high is NOT worth the
trouble. It will gum up your nose if you snort, too.

SMOKIN': THE GOOD NEWS The method I used was smoking it.

METHOD Preparation: Grind the tabs to a fine powder, add 1-2cc's
of ispropyl alcohol (morphine is soluable in this, as is the
binder) and add the tobacco from one to two cigarettes. Stir
until mixed completely. Dry on a saucer with the tabacco spread
evenly over it's surface. Have a stiff credit card handy.
Microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds or until dry, but not
black. Remove from microwave quickly and scrape off the tobacco
quickly (it will stick if you don't move fast).

Finally, put it in a pipe and smoke. 4 hits off this can knock
you on your butt, so wait for it to take effect before smoke
more.

My usual mixture was four 100mg tabs to two cigarettes of
tobacco. Bear in mind that I had a huge tolerance. My quitting
was the result of taking 6000mg MS in two days, combined with
ninety 2mg Ativan. Blacked out and in the hospital for about 2
weeks! Aaaaargh!

BE CAREFUL! Pharmexist
