DEA verifies MSM/Meth co-crystallization
Unusual “Ice” Methamphetamine Exhibits in Stow, Ohio
Unusual “Ice” Methamphetamine Exhibits in Stow, Ohio
Those bastards....this is not new information, as people have been cutting meth with MSM (dimethylulfone) for years, but this is the first time I've seen an actual analysis of seemingly high purity methamphetamine. Beware, people!(DEA, March 2003) The DEA North Central Laboratory (Chicago, Illinois) recently analyzed two unusual methamphetamine exhibits submitted by the DEA Cleveland Resident Office. The exhibits were obtained in Stow, Ohio via an undercover purchase, and had the appearance of “ICE” (1/4 inch long white crystals). The first had a net mass of 7.0 grams and was packaged in a single, clear zip-lock plastic bag, while the second had a net mass of 3.2 grams and was packaged in 14 small zip-lock plastic bags all contained within a larger zip-lock plastic bag. Analysis by GC, GC/MS, and FT-IR, however, indicated not high purity methamphetamine but rather a mixture of methamphetamine and dimethylsulfone. The first exhibit contained only 34% d-methamphetamine hydrochloride, while the second contained only 25% d-methamphetamine hydrochloride.
