A long time ago a random person told me that I could grow meth off my shoelace using one of those crystal growing kits you can get at a toy store I forget how exactly she told me to do this but I was hoping somebody would have the information on how to do this it takes a wet shoelace I have the crystal going kit I just can't seem to figure out how I could use how I can or how I could get methamphetamine to grow some of you supposed to go on kits so just add meth into the seeding mixture or what and then help me figure out how to grow and get kits it's definitely possible

Yes. I'm not sure how to do it but I think I remember some random person telling me this years ago, so it's probably definitely true

Hmm

Respondents reported “growing methamphetamine.” Upon further questioning we learned that growing methamphetamine crystals on a string suspended over a container was a common method for producing methamphetamine in the area. Respondents recounted similar but slightly different accounts of how to grow methamphetamine crystals on strings. The ingredients included pseudoephedrine, red phosphorus, charcoal, gun bluing and aluminum shavings. Other recipes involved various cleaning fluids such as acetone and ammonia or chemicals such as iodine. Ingredients were mixed or layered in a container, typically a fish tank or five gallon bucket, and the container was buried in the ground or kept in a dark closet for up to 28 days until crystals grew on strings suspended above the chemical solution. Growing methamphetamine was reported as a safer “cooking” method for the producer (“cook”) since it did not involve heating ingredients and was less likely to cause an explosion. The process also allowed the production to be hidden from view, either underground or in a dark closet or basement. Respondents referred to this method as the “fish tank” or “cold cook” method. The drug was called “string dope” and sold as methamphetamine

A similar recipe posted on another blog claimed that string dope made with gun bluing was not methamphetamine; however, “its effects are supposed to be physiologically identical to meth, but the substance will not test as meth.”
