LOL.

Anyways i got a batch of some pretty wet/oily meth the other day.

At first i thought it was probably just really fresh, but after letting it dry out for a few days on a plexiglass board, it is still quite oily as well as WET!

Its really high quality, its completely crystal clear shards, most of which are quite large.....

I did an acetone wash, and then recrystallized with toulene, but i tested the product on some foil, and it left quite a bit of residue....
but it was no longer oily, so im figureing that it was just hydriotic acid leftover from the cook, which i removed with the wash.....



Also, if i smoked it before i did the wash, it burned really fast, and tasted quite odd, not just when it was burned, but throughout the entire process....

wtf was wrong with my meth??

i bought a substantial ammount ((300+ dollars worth)) and im just wondering what i can do to fix the rest of this batch.....

thank you in advance.....

i sure do hope you are wrong, because this would be reducing the harm im doing to my lungs by a substantial ammount.

im just trying to clean up my product a bit more than i already have.

Also im trying to figure out if my dealer ripped me off, or if he couldnt have known himself.


Its not super cut or anything, it smells regular, it doesnt have any msm at all, i heated it to 120-f on my hotplate, and onlya miniscule ammount of product was vaporized.....
 
We don't allow synthethis discussion, but you are talking about extraction, not synthesis, correct? You just want to remove contaminants from your meth? It's confusing because you said it was a question for meth cooks.

We can't really speculate on what's in your meth either, as it's usually impossible to really know without testing it. And there is no way to know if your dealer ripped you off, so let's please avoid that question.

In addition, please don't post duplicate threads.

Anyway, this is not really a basic question so I'm going to change your title and move it to Other Drugs, but I really won't be surprised if it gets closed there.

hydriodic acid does not form an "oily" film nor is it removed by acetone washes.

do recall that meth will absorb water from the air...

the residue from burning on foil is probably polymer/tars/not-meth from the synthesis process that has not been cleaned up properly, or "unsalted" freebase meth...

best way to clean up your meth is to dissolve it all in water, basify it, seperate the freebase and then xtallise it out from anhydrous acetone with hydrochloric acid gas

I've heard about oily meth making the rounds in the south west usa. I've been told its some sort of cut, ruins the smoking experience due to the residue. don't recall what the exact agent was, but I remember people saying it was difficult to remove. I would try dissolving the gear in water, sucking through a cotton filter with an oral syringe or a regular syringe with the needle removed, then squirting onto a plate to dry. you might want to try seperating it since if it is in fact "oily" the oil wont be water soluble. good luck

really? so ridding a batch of street meth of some possibly harmful adulterants is not harm reduction?

Guys I think darth was just confused and thought it was a synthesis question. The original title of the thread (before I changed it) added to that confusion.
 
I think on such a small scale you have already performed the economical means of purification which is solvent extration and recrystalisation. Other possible purification methods are acid base extraction (but this can still leave impuritys like i.e. PSE), (fractionated) vacuum distilation and chromatographic methods. But all of them would require actual chemical knowlege, equipment and could be wastefull to your feedstock. 300$ does not sound like a "substantial amount" at all, just smoke it up. :)

Purifying substances is definitely allowed. Imagine you had heroin you were going to inject but it was adulterated with a lot of crap. If that wasn't purified, you will be injecting something disgusting into your circulatory system. Why would meth be different? I'm sure OP doesn't want to be smoking something else potentially worse/more damaging when all he wanted was meth.

I'm a Greenlighter, so I have even greater odds of being wrong, but I would think that purifying meth would help reduce harm. If I'm not mistaken, many problems associated with meth use are from impurities in street meth, aren't they?

My bad, I didn't even see your post. lol
 
Caption Heroin is legendary for his coke purification. How is this request any different?
 
People: As I already said above, some people were just confused because this thread originally had the title "A question for meth cooks" or something along those lines. They saw "meth cooks" and thought it was about cooking meth as in synthesizing it. Drug purification threads are allowed.
 
Unless you have decent weight (>3.5 gs) purification will be difficult. Considering you have already done an acetone wash and re-xtralisation any further steps will result in more loss of product.

I would have thought the acetone wash would have cleared up the oily residue perfectly. Freebase meth is hygroscopic but since you salted it out from toluene I don't think you have freebase sitting with your hcl crystal.

You could try dual-solvent re crystallisation with acetone and toluene. Google search if you are unfamiliar with this process.
Apart from this I can't think of much more you can do, except use it as is :/
