"Pseudo speed" in Australia, what is this stuff exactly?

[Macee]

Pseudo speed is heavily cut meth.

Meth is easier to produce and more profitable than amphetamine sulphate, the only place where street amphetamine sulphate is found in abundance over meth is in Europe. You can get 'real' speed here, but it's much harder to find.

^ 100% on the money Macee. There no doubt is a trickle of amphetamine sulfate that gets into the country but you really got to be in the know, lucky or total 1 off 1:1 000 000 chance. Pseudo speed is just cut, poorly manufactured meth. The only difference between pseudo and meth is "that pesky OH or hydroxyl group" Science on crack, 2: Walter White & cooking crystal meth 2012. http://puffthemutantdragon.wordpres...on-crack-2-walter-white-cooking-crystal-meth/. If your lucky your have meth manufactured OS to reasonable standards. If not... read on:

Now comes the really ghetto methods of amine reduction aka reductive amination can be utilized like shake n bake to produce one pot slop that is over, under and reacted pseudo ephedrine. Forget your D/L isomer this will have say 60% reacted D-isomer methamphetamine, 20% over reacted pseudoephedrine (ie nothing worth taking) and 20% un-reacted psedo (ie it's still pseudo and also not worth taking). Now you have the binders etc. making for a gummy reagent soaked mess that can not be easily purified in a back yard meth lab. Solution cut and sell as "pseudo speed". Seen some brown goop that looks like someone tried the Red, white and blue (iodine/red phos) method and failed. Long of the short avoid "pseudo speed" it's dirt.
