Introduction
This form of heroin is diacetylmorphine acetate, a product of heroin production that does not require further acetylation. It differs in texture from powder heroin in that it is black, gooey, viscous, and a texture ranging from quite similar to wet asphalt and a hard rock of material. It is commonly produced in South America and is found on the western coast of the USA.
The actual chemical contents of black tar heroin can vary from the white powder form. Black tar might contain a variable mixture of morphine derivatives, predominantly 6-MAM (6-monoacetylmorphine) which is another result of crude acetylation that occurs in the clandestine manufacturing process.
Warning!
When injected into any type of tissue, this form of heroin results in an increased risk of wound botulism. Wound botulism can be fatal and leads to amputations and death at a higher rate of black tar heroin users. Because of the consistency of the substance (tar-like), it can pose a greater risk for collapsing, damaging, or infecting veins. This damage to veins leads to a higher chance of subcutaneous and intradermal injection, which is not advocated from a harm reduction point of view. For users who do choose to inject this substance, it is advised to follow the procedures found in the safer injection guide.
These are step-by-step instructions on how to make crystal black tar opium. Seeds are not recommended for this method. If you only have seeds, I recommend making tea or planting them! I am setting the instructions up much like a recipe, so it will be easy to read & follow.
Note on morphine & codeine: Codeine activates at 68 °C (155 °F) & morphine at 82 °C (180 °F) so it is absolutely essential to keep temps between 60 - 63 °C (140 - 145 °F).
Note on cooking: It is recommended that you use an electric oven for this perpetration method.

Materials:
- 20 g of fine ground pods, stems, &/or leaves fresh or dry
- 36 ounces of water (1065 mL)*
- 2 shots of lemon juice (100 mL)
- Fine metal strainer
- Meat thermometer
- Sauce pan
- Flat bottom glass baking dish
Procedure:
1. Bring water & lemon juice to a simmer, 63 °C (145 °F) is ideal
2. Add ground up plant material to the water
3. Let simmer for 1 hour, stirring & checking the temp occasionally
4. At the end of one hour, strain out all plant material
5. Run the plant material through the strainer an additional 3 times, then return the liquid to the sauce pan
6. Let simmer for an additional hour
Preheat oven to 63 °C (145 °F)
7. Strain liquid into the glass baking dish
8. Place in the middle rack of the oven for 8 hours
9. At the end of 8 hours, you should have a layer of sticky opium on the bottom of the baking dish. Place the dish back in the oven
10. Turn the oven off while leaving the dish in the oven & let it completely cool...about 2 hours
11. After 2 hours, turn the oven back on 63 °C (145 °F) and let the opium warm back up...this is the step that makes it crystal
12. Watch the opium closely as *the layer starts to get air spots & doesn't stick to your finger when touched, then that means it's done
13. Remove the dish from the oven & while it is hot, scrape the opium up with a metal spoon
14. Quickly form into ball or square because as it cools it will form into crystals
15. Smoke it! Mix with a joint, smoke on top of some marijuana in a bowl, or smoke by itself in a bowl. However, don't touch the flame directly to the opium, hover it slightly above for best results. If you have to use a bong, make sure there is no water inside & it is completely dry.
