Just got done reading this article, litterally:I read not that long ago that this is likely to be Afghanistan’s next major export industry. In The Economist I think, so it must be true.
Took the words out of my mouth....If it is true I reckon it might end up being the primo top shelf product wherever it ends up in the West.
Sounds, amazing....If a full spectrum alkaloid extract is used there will also be fair amounts of Amphetamine in the mix along with other byproducts.
Dammit Afghanistan is making meth now? Where as a fucking red blooded American am I supposed to visit now for a stress free, judgment free, friendly pipe of fresh brown powder?
Took the words out of my mouth....
Brings up an interesting point: Is "Organic" Meth "Crystal" Meth?In reality, I wouldn't get your hopes up of getting more pure meth, the middle man always takes his cut.
Since when is "Full Spectrum" considered "bad"?Any synthesis involving plant material is going to have a lot of issues of unwanted by products from the plant making it into the final product.
Not to say that these impurities are necessarily bad, but unless a manufacturer spends serious time and effort perfecting a clean/pure extraction then it's almost guaranteed that the end product will not be crystalline
True very true.I specifically said it wasn't bad, just that it won't be "crystal meth"
It'll be a meth powder, probably akin to the general quality of coke.
I think I'd rather have some inactive USA cut than what the cartels are substituting into the active P2P synthesis these days...And you also have to take into account that a powdered drug is much easier to cut than large crystalline drugs
Why wouldn’t the plant derived ephedrine be pure after several stages of low temperature mechsnical filtration and a final solvent extraction?I specifically said it wasn't bad, just that it won't be "crystal meth"

Is HCG organic? (Serious question I don't know the answer to)Why wouldn’t the plant derived ephedrine be pure after several stages of low temperature mechsnical filtration and a final solvent extraction?
Once you’ve got that ephedrine all the other steps to produce crystal would be the same wouldn’t they).
If you’ve got a clean solution then the usual step of passing hydrogen chloride gas through it as the penultimate step will produce Meth HCL which easily forms crystals
I wouldn’t think so. Neither is red phosphorous or any of the other dozen or more substances used in variations of this syrhesis method.Is HCG organic? (Serious question I don't know the answer to)
But red phosphorous can be distilled from stale urine, correct?I wouldn’t think so. Neither is red phosphorous or any of the other dozen or more substances used in variations of this syrhesis method.
The Chinese aren't cultivating Ephedra/Ehpedrine, though. They're synthesizing pseudoephedrine, right?Well ephedrine is extracted from ephedra in china and shipped all over the world
Yeah, they're synthesizing pseudoephedrine. But ephedrine is still around, and some of that comes from the ephedra, and if there's ephedrine, well certainly people are going to make meth from it. If not now, certainly in the past. What does it matter?The Chinese aren't cultivating Ephedra/Ehpedrine, though. They're synthesizing pseudoephedrine, right?
