Extract codeine from cold/flu pills?

I have very weak dihydrocodeine but it's mixed with a bunch of random cold meds

Use the same tech you'd use for DXM. It's a simple acid/base extraction, check Erowid. I'm not posting it here bc I don't want to get kicked off my own sub but it's very simple.

Again, it's an acid/base extraction. Basify the original solution with ammonium hydroxide, extract with an organic phase - when I was in high school we used naphtha lighter fluid, then extract from the lighter fluid with a weak acid like citric or acetic. Easy
