How To Make Meth & Methamphetamine.
There are hundreds of “manuals” and various instructions for how to make methamphetamine at home.
Making meth is hotly discussed in many recreational drugs forums. It seems with every contributer to the discussion of meth, comes a different method, differing measurements and differing results.
This poses a huge problem for anyone trying to source accurate information on how methamphetamine is made, and learn about the chemicals used in its manufacture.
Different Reactions to Synthesize Methamphetamine
It is very important to understand that there are a number of different reactions which are performed to produce methamphetamine. Of the various syntheses only two are applicable to home chemists, utilizing easily available ephedrine or pseudoephedrine as a precursor.
- Reduction With Hydroiodic Acid and Red Phosphorus
- Lithium-Ammonia Reduction of Ephedrine to Methamphetamine
There are many more safely scalable industrial methods used to produce the drug, that are simply not practical for the home chemist.
Most Syntheses Are Based On These Methods..
Almost all the syntheses available online are based on either of the above reactions. Through years of clandestine manufacture, amounts, times and substitute chemicals have been tweaked and refined. The problem is that many who know little or nothing about the chemistry of the syntheses share their discoveries. Many speculate, without having ever even bared witness to the procedure. Formulas are further adjusted and copied through different forums, blogs and websites, leading to a complete breakdown of the authenticity of the information presented – and providing formulas that can only end up in failure, explosion, or both.
Lithium-Ammonia Reduction
The Lithium-Ammonia Reduction is a method derived from a reaction called “The Birch Reduction“. This method involves the use of Anhydrous Ammonia, a particularly nasty chemical, mixed with lithium. Various solvents and sodium hydroxide are used in this method. Commonly referred to as “The nazi method”, in reference to the german soldiers that reportedly manufactured it for their own use during WWII, when military supplies were not forthcoming. “One pot method”, or “Shake and bake” methods are derivatives of the original formula, using ammonium nitrate in place of anhydrous ammonia. This method produces a crystal with less impurities than syntheses utilizing red phosphorus, as well as being higher yeilding.
Hydroiodic Acid/Red Phosphorus Method
The Hydroiodic Acid/Red Phosphorus Method (and derivatives) is often referred to as “the matchbook method”, in reference to matchbooks being the source of red phosphorus in this reaction. This reaction utilizes sodium hydroxide (lye), iodine, and red phosphorus to produce methamphetamine.
Never Without Inherent Risks..
We hear it everywhere, about the toxification of locations where meth is produced, explosions, poisoning, burns and more. That’s not all, over 8600 meth labs were busted in the US in 2009 (DEA).
It is very important to understand, the chemicals used to make this drug by either of the most popular clandestine formulas need to be handled by individuals with formal training in handling these chemicals. If not formal training, then the upmost care to follow the procedures used by professionals must be used. All to often careless “cooks” sloshing around substandard containers, often under pressure, pay for their carelessness.
Both the above procedures involve reactions that will explode when exposed to air, and/or other chemicals, even water. These explosions can be a small fireball, through to an explosion likely to blow a hole in the closest wall. Explosions can send shards of glass, burning plastic and acids, flammable solvents and flesh eating anhydrous ammonia in all directions, seriously maiming or killing everyone present.
That being said, when procedures are followed to a standard taught at a formal training level, meth can and is produced under relatively “safe” conditions. Most of the photos published depicting meth lab explosions show all to clearly the mess, clutter and substandard conditions it was being produced under. It’s no wonder the result shown occured.
The Chemistry Must Be Understood..
You’re not going to be able to safely make meth. period. Despite what you may have read on this forum or that, a cook can’t just “throw” their “ingredients” into a container and have a “half time joint” (as I’ve read). If they do they’ll most likely end up in one of the photos described above.
There is good information out there, however. To completely understand how methamphetamaine is synthesized, one needs to read and understand the chemistry of the synthesis, understand the nature of the chemicals being used, and understand how the exact process is performed. This includes precise measurements, times, purification of chemicals and more.
This information IS available at this site with comprehensive collection of information on methamphetamine.
Strictly for the purposes of understanding the associated dangers, and under no circumstances to be used for illegal purposes!
When there’s a will, there’s a way..
Its an interesting battle to watch. With effective cold medications being pulled from shelves, chemicals being restricted, explosions, contamination of land and buildings, billions being poured into law enforcement, hospitalization and addiction treatment, where is it all heading? Meth makes money, lots of money, it is also highly addictive. These two, inter-reliant factors alone have spun meth out of control.
The long and the short of it is Methamphetamine is easy to make. Plain and Simple. For the home chemists that embark on meth making missions, a big juicy golden carrot is waiting at the end, satisfying an addiction to both of these motivators.

u r a fool@Bobs Uruncle
na man the@Bob ryan
world would be better without people like your stupid ass
I don’t know who is the dumbest ,the poorest english,the least well informed,or the lyingest most false,teller of tall tales,fabricator,A fiction writer.
In my day.my epoch,my time,I have “used” the following drugs,
and I won’t countsodium aparthemate gum,or monosodium glutamate or sugar,as drugs because then the list is infinite,and I don’t know the list.
We’ll try and stick to the Drugs whose purpose it is to alter
consciousness,and you pay money for them specificaly for that purpose.
If I get high on the kerosene in my living room heater,it’s not by choice,I live in a fucked up white trash little town,and kerosene
fumes can blow your mind just as good as sniffing a bag of gasoline.
At any rate we’ll start our little confessional with alcohol.
First started I suppose holidays as a jew we drink ceremonial blah blah blah,But seriously in Israel where I went to High school there’s no age limit for alcohol,or wasn’t then,So I used to buy whiskey,and
courovoisier,and i tell you I did not know how to drink,I’d go home during lunch and drink courvoisier with some sweet syrup shit christ I
got drunk,but too fast,Didn’t know how to nurse a buzz for weeks then.
So and the girlies liked me,only problem,I had to be drunk to…
you’ve heard this before have you not?
So then 16 I moved to N.y. and my cousin kept trying to get me to smoke pot”it’s good don’t worry about it,what are you so scared of?”
Which ios how all the drugs I’ve used came about ,you’re around people ,they smoke or drink or pop the pills,’seems allright” or they keep putting subtle pressure ‘Come on man it’s no big deal” I
think I should have listened to my HEALTH TEACHER in 7th grade
Pot was allright the first time,my cous took me to the lasareium in Manhattan I think,it’s a big hall with a lighted ceiling
weird cause i says i says ‘nothin’s happening it ain’t working” but after about 35 minutes wooahh,damn and on the ride back on the subway I hallucinated for the first time ,thank you very much cousin Noah you fucking pothead.
Thus mostly alcohol and pot for years.Hash is much better ,hash tea.
Then I ahd some black beauties not too many though,liked those.
A few quaaludes they’re really too much you can’t drive can’t even stand up.
Oh then we get the nastiest of all LSD,Acid,Sweet Acidophilus,
or as I used to say “Haze of Wine and doses” Acid my bro,my real bro was eating so I tried one.Felt like superman,strong energetic unafraid.But that was little baby red dot acid in L.A.
I went to a college town so horrible we’ll use S.C. as the name,
here I was able to get some stronger stuff,with american flags on the side,twenty at a pop.Man the trips were really “out of this world”
reality is ditorted So boys,and girls I used too much,unlike other drugs you don’t really know you’re O.D’ing so you take another 12 tabs and you think “fuck I got some bunky shit” in truth it is good shit and
you’re distorting the brain permanently.So then we started with REAL hallucinations the kind where you can look at a tree and watch people talking or laughing for hours.
When I took alot of acid I wasn’t paranoid of people,bushes ,trees,walls inanimate opbjects that seemed alivw freaked me out.
Ahh I quit LSD ,too late honey Hallucinations have stayed with me for over 26 years now.Not always “bad” pictures sometimes I can look at a wall and watch beautiful girls fucking,and sometimes snakelike monsters with halfhuman heads take bites at me.As I’ve learned it all depends on what I”M thinking feeling,as the pictures,the
dreamscapes are what’s going on inside,but I’m seeing it outout in the “real world”,
I wouldn’t reccomend LSD to anyone but what the hell do you care?
Everybody has got something to tell you is bad,Life in general is rather dangerous is it not? or as Jim Morrison quoth “no one gets out alive”
I swore I would never again use Acid ,and I have not,swore the same with many other drugs,and broke my promise.But ACID is just
TOO mOTHERFUCKING NASTY,just nasty crazy shit,I remember one time I punched a large boulder 35 40 times as hard as I could could feel nothing,I’d walk for 30 miles not even slightly tired,It’s not just the muscles that are numb ,the braincells too.You get kind of anti-capitalism,anti money,you do I was making 5 grand a month in my own business at 23,and after the Acid never started a successful business.
I’m not dumb alot amarter than the average idiot on this “website’ real buffoons,It seems that making money earning capital
is wrong ever since my Acid days.So i say I’m a communist,an anarchist,
a socialist.
Enough philosophy,next after 5 or 6 years total no drugs,I tried
crack,crack cocaine.I used to smoke it with this strawberry she turned tricks to get high,but we just smoked no sex,we’d go out in the desert ,and smoke all night.Thing is as you know if you’ve tried crack the buzz is gone real quick ,and you want more.After awhile I quit.Then just alcohol and pot for 4 ,5 jahren. Them I really became a crackheaed for 2 years or so,just smoking crack all day in my motel room,drinking alcohol to come down,I got the money one way through my family.When they got wise i started panhandling,even though I had car
and a motel room,food etc, I had a sign that said “Homeless God Bless Please help” or was it “Homeless please help God Bless” either way not much money,maybe 20 30 a day at most,but I learned how to make a twentyrock last the whole afternoon,didn’t smoke it in one hit like some morons.Then you can tweak for two three hours smoking bread crumbs
or anything white.200 Mg. of Seroquel and off to beddybye wake up tommorrow do it all over again,wasn’t so bad atall.
So I had to quit crack ,and since then just good old alcohol,my6
first drug,and the one I always get busted with.
Oh yeah I forgot three years ago i started smoking Meth it was great,hadn’t been that horny in decades.Great drug but I ran out of money again so and yeah just alcohol since then.Recently I got in alot of trouble with some neighbours while drunk,got in a little fight,then they lied to the police said I shot off a gun which I did not,spent 23 days in a cell with alot of weirdos and hardened criminals.I was locked in 22 hours and went out once a day ,Horrible,except for the
weirdos fucking on the walls I tel you I just lay there in my orange jumpsuit and watched people fucking and sucking for hours.
Since my release sober as a church mouse no alcohol nothing,gee
what fun would somebody please shoot me?
Now I”m moving out of this nutty little white trash town to
Portland where my brother lives,he’s a cab driver,you remember him yeah the one that turned me on to ACID,he’s a legitamate square now,I
guess I am too.
And so it goes
Yeah I know I write alot I’m an author not a one sentence can’t spell,can’t think modern proletarian.I mean even if the ACID made me dumber,I’m still alot more intelligent than 99.9% of the populace,as I
wrote I can’t convert the intelligence to capital ,well what of it ? Many intelligent poor people in many lands ,you should not equate intelligence with liquid assets.For one thing 26% of wealth is inherited meaning people born with a rich mommy or daddy or uncle or Grandpa,
Sticking to drugs though,I wanted to clarify,in re-reading my last story.I was in a cell alone,I was in what they call “the hole”
where everyone is in a cell for 22 hours,except for two they let you wander around and act stupid (who’s acting?),Take a shower,talk to the other prisoners through their doors.
The people i watched having sex were a hallucination,very vivid
which I haven’t in years had.I was glad it was people fucking and etc. sexy people,and not snakes and gargoyles etc.
i’m not here to give you advice don’t think you’d listen anyways I didn’t.But ,sorry can’t help myself,I found that the cheapest,and by far,the deadliest nastiest braindeath permanentlike
drug is definitely LSD… but hey I haven’t tried PCP or sniffing glue there’s a whole world of drugs I haven’t sniffed drunk popped injected or smoked….I tell ya ain’t life grand?
No I have not written that my comment which was erased was I’ll keep it short,,,I was in a cell alone,the perverts were in other cells,The people fucking,and sucking were hallucinations.
Just a clarification okay?
I shall tell you,when I write of “hallucinations” and
“pictures” and so forth.I have found over the years that WATCHING
TELEVISION as well as READING bring on “Hallucinations” .
Why? I’ll tell you my explanation.When all these squre uptight
mofos tell you you’re living in an “unreal world” ask em if they watch T.V. the groove tube,the opiate of the masses? “yeah I do ” “oh yeah,
well did you know none of it’s real just alot of tiny little “pixels”
that you imagine are all sorts of pictures,nothing “real” about it you’re hallucinating in front of a glowing fucking screen” and those
sounds you think are music and people crying,and talking,are transistors,little transistors,and speakers duplicating sounds badly.”
Same is true of reading,these smartass people who went to school way too many years,who think a book,and reading are the livin end,happen to be hallucinating as well.These 26 little squiggles are
just that,meaningless to the entire animal world save man,and also meaningless to anyone who can’t understand English,You know there are
still billions of adults on the planet who cannot read,and i don’t think they’re misssing much,billions who have never seen a television or a computer for that matter ,I don’t think they’re missing anything at all. yet they all have their drugs,every society wether
old ancient dead societies,or current societies,has their drugs, alot
of e’m take their drugs together in weird ceremonies,not like we do in
a room hiding out.They get or got to take their beer in Egypt,or their coca paste in bolivia,or their heroin in China often in large ceremonies,with dances that lasted foe days.The anti-drug taboo even in
the U.S is relatively new.
Coca-Cola actually had cocaine in it that’s why it’s called COCA -cola, Heroin was legal,cocaine was legal,booze was legal,so was peyote ,mushrooms and alot of other drugs.
For some reason people decided in the 20th ceentury to make drugs illegal,alot of them.Caffeine now is so goddamned popular it’s unreal. The reason I think so many drugs are illegal is because the
business of “law enforcement” has gotten huge 30 million or more leeches,living off of “crime” and you must have “criminals” for the system to work. the3n illegalize whatever you can to feed bodies into the machine. Drugs ,driving,weapons,taxes,family,real estate on and on and on,endless. Go ye to a law library sometime,and you’ll seee just how many laws and cases there have been.You can’t do ANYTHING in the modern industrialized nations without breaking some law.
If you’re in the Pizza business you want as many people buying
pizzas as possible.And if you’re in the car sales business you want as many people driving cars as possible.And if you’re in the incarceration business,you want as many people breaking the law as possible,therefore more bodies in jail,and prison,more jobs for police,
sherriffs,judges,bailiffs,clerks of every sort,social workers,psychiatrists(oy vey)probation officers,contractors to build new zoos for the prisoners,newspapers,and T.V. reporters,movie makers,
FBI ,CIA,IRS,ATF,EPA,DMV, there’s a goddamned commission and board for
almost every goddamned proffession that exixts.
It’s so over goddamned done,it is such an extreme police state.There
are so few freedoms.The government inerferes in every facet of a man’s life,from the moment he’s born,until he dies,or at least tries to.
Well (well is for water ,and hay for horses) an old friend of mine used to say every time i said “well”. I just wrote a two hour dissertation the computer thinks is “spammy” fuck the computer.Actually
I’d like to fuck a computer,when will they come out with robots that have soft warm flesh? Like the Issac Asimov stories,then you can have any kind of sex you can imagine with a real sexy machine,not a blow up doll,and it’ll be perfectly legal,and they’ll never call the cops,or get jealous or play head games. Now THAT is an invention I’d like to see.
A sexy robot,they’ve been talking about half machine half “human” robots for decades,when are we going to see them on the market?hmmm?
@Meth Heads Rule!
tool
if ya all wanna know how to make meth move to arizona.it the meth capital of the world.but if u wanna buy the best fuckin meth in the world move to ohio thats all i gotta say [north east]
myself n kpl Lan malaysian Narcotic Department with Pleasure Come To M’sia N try 2 do Some..I wan 2 c .. Beware
@Bob ryan you want all tha black people gone its 2010 fuccin nazi ur presidents black people dont giva fuck no more lie i said we in a different era BOOO bitch u scared they taken revenge on on ur ignorant ass thats what nigger means igorant thats what u are fuckin retard u gunna get ur jaw slpit one of theese days but u pussy thats why you talking shit on tha computer haha i never come on these gay ass websites but i did today and read ur shit scary ass assfucking fag
@rick carter
obviously you dont understand that addiction is a choice
and any drug may that be crack or cigarettes can be used in moderation
without becoming addicted
only the weak minded let drugs ruin thier life.
duh.
all full of shit if it so easy 2 make why everyone make it and looking on how and paying so much money for it.the last 15 years my life i been usein ice meth spent up too 200 to 1000 dollars a week i been around ice dat long never seen it made or close 2 a cook. and all homebake i try is always shit.
@Bob ryan
Dude your just jealous cuz we do it better than you.
what the yield of 600mg of vicks cotton??????
does anybody know any recresouces for buying vicks by the case and how many cases can u legally buy before you get red flaged by the d.a.??????
