forgive the newbie (to this end of everything).....SWIM want to know if he has pills that are 25 mg ephedrine and 200 mg guanefesin, is there a method to seperate the two? He has asthma but is allergic to guan.....again, SWIM is a newbie please help, kindly.

guffy is not souble in pet either. but eph is .

good question.. never bothered with those 25mg e + 200mg guf. pills (mini-thins, right?) / assumed it would be difficult to seperate. so, a pet. ether soak leaves behind guff.?

============================================

no a soak in a non polar wont do anything kbk use a a/b with pet either you have to move the sudo in to something that the guffy wont go into
