HELP! Crystal...

[RealitySolution]

I've had some crystal meth for about 8 months...last time I used it or even looked at it was 5 months ago. I looked today and now its light brown. It was already broken up and i had it in a gel cap. I am assuming its bad now? Maybe heat or condensation affected it? If anyone else knows what happened or if its useless or harmful now please let me know ASAP...thank u so much!!

Was there anything else in the gel cap prior to you putting the meth in it? I had a multivitamin capsule that I emptied out and put my crushed-up meth in....and then a couple of months later, mine looked exaclty like yours...and it was a potent as ever.
Even if your gel cap was an unused one (from a bottle of empty capsules like the kind you buy at GNC), because methamphetamine is acidic, it can errode the container you put it in, especially if the container, like a gel cap, is composed of organic, easily degradable matter. Discoloration as a result of this interaction with the gel cap is also common -- but your meth will stil be fine. Enjoy.

thats very interesting...I think the capsules were actually 5-htp or something...
the funny thing is i had the cm in there for a few months and it remained white...but now i guess too much time has passed and now its changing color...like tanish.
Thanks for your help!!

Any hydrochloride salts are very hygroscopic(absorbs moisture) over time this is prolly what happened to your meth. Here is a solution if you wanna clean it up. For every gram of meth put it in 10ml Acetone, swirl it around until crystals become clean, filter it out through coffe filters and let dry spread out. This method will not loose any meth but will remove most impurities(cut) therefor purifying your meth. And making it nice and white.
