I have one that has throuly stumped me!

[lildevildiablo]

i have a problem with my meth. when i have the stuff in my glass smoking apparatus as soon as i apply heat to it it begins to what i can only describe as "carmalizing" now i am familiar with the substance known as "amber" which to my understanding is just meth that hasnt been copletly washed with acetone. However true that tidbit is i confess i do not know. now the problem is i have already blunderede and "washed" this batch in acetone and allowed it to dry. It has no small or dust like pieces in it and according to the bleach, taste, shoot, and eating tests its great stuff it just won't burn correctly. after i washed it with acetone (which i am convinced i did improperly) it was slightly more heat tolerant but still turned a dark carmel color after applying heat. Now the real question is this can anyone please please please enlighten me as to A) what the proper process is to "wash" and or recrystalize meth and B) what the hell is wrong that the only thing it wont do is burn properly. Any and all help is much appreciated on the matter.

All I can say is I'm looking forward to the premier of Breaking Bad.

washing means to put the meth in a vacuum filter, turn on the water, and pour acetone over it. The acetone wil disolve junk, and not the meth, cleaning it.

Basically, running acetone over the meth.

Recrystallize:

Find a solvent that meth is soluble in at high temp, but insoluble at room temp (298K). Disolve the meth in just the right amount of hot solvent..... just enough to allow to disolve. Then chill in an Ice bath...... crystals will precip. Then the solvent is removed under vacuum, and washed with more solvent in the process described above...

Cut with glucose/mannitol etc?

Unless the OP is actually bacon of course, in which case the thing being cut, shouldn't be the drugs, but the piggie's throat

Bet it would be tasty fried in willy pete....who needs garlic butter for the mushrooms then....

Cut with glucose/mannitol etc?

Yep, my idea, too. It wouldn't get washed away with aceton and will yield the observed "carmalizing" [sic] colour/smell. - Murphy

My guess is that your meth is racemic, made from P2P rather than pure D isomer meth made from ephedrine/pseaduoephedrine. Just guessing though, I don't presume to have 10% the knowledge of many who frequent this forum.

If you have problems making meth, then don't.
But, if you're department doesn't have a chemist, then any university would be glad to help the police.
