Is there any reason that some speed is dry and some is mildly greasy? Also wondering if oily speed would have a lower nasal absorbsion rate.
most speed we get in oz is Meth and most of it is made in oz.
Is this something that is a fact, or something you made up? If it's a fact, can you please reference it, otherwise please state that it is your personal opinion.
Thanks, BigTrancer
Edit: PS: I also believe that most of the speed we get (in melbourne at least) is methamphetamine because I've seen many kinds tested with EZ-Xtreme. However, I have no way of knowing if this is a general rule, and I'm prepared to admit I have no idea where it comes from on a larger scale...

The greasy feel is indeed from solvents. When the freebase meth is extracted from the reaction a non-polar (water insoluble) solvent such as toluene is used. To make the actual salt, acid is added and the freebase turns into crystals which are WATER soluble and these form a solid in the toluene as they do not dissolve in it. Now the toluene must be filtered off.
Correct chemistry procedure would employ suction or vaccuum filtration, acetone washing and recrystallisation giving a dry and purer product. However it would not surprise me if only basic gravity filtration is used. In that u just simply poor the sludge into a filter funnel and wait for all the toluene to drip through - and as toluene has a high boiling point compared to much better, but hard to get solvents such as ether, it is harder to evaporate off.
Expertly stated.
