separating isopropolbenzalamines from meth from scientific study (or other amines)
I have discovered, by extensive research, a system of separating meth (or what they are calling 'meth' these days) from the benzalamines. I was sick of what we all were getting for meth, with it's cut now nearly irremovable. I am not a chemist, but my limited knowledge and experience made it so I could understand and carry out the procedure, which itself is not too difficult. I see the frustration with this new cut being almost impossible to correctly separate. I wish they would have just left the msn cutter, as it was quite easy to remove with acetone at least. I am not looking for any praise, but I simply want to help everyone who has posted in frustration over this continuing effort of the cartels to adulterate meth, rendering it nearly useless, without any recourse for improvement. Here is what I pulled from the scientific article. I have done it successfully. I hope this solution will help everyone. It is simpler than expected. The isopropolbenzalimines as well as the other amines (ethylbenzalalamines etc.) were the perfect cut, as it seems to be the right handed isomer of meth itself, extremely similar in traits such as melting point, solvency etc. thus making it almost impossible to extract chemically. However I was fortunate to finally find an scientific article from a law enforcement forensics lab clearly exposing and patenting a process. Here it is:
The meth/iso mix is made into an aqueous solution, meaning that you liquefy the stuff you have in distilled water. I would have to look up the ratio again, but it did not seem to matter much. Reasonably liquify it a little over supersaturated state I'm thinking is best. Test the ph with accurate measurement, such as lithium strips, although I got by with just ph paper. Then add a 1:1 ratio of organic solvent. They recommended xylol, toluene, and I don't have the article in front of me but there were others. Here in California it looks as if toluene has been pulled from the shelves. I don't know if it was a polarized or non-polarized organic solvent but the one was stated. Whichever toluene is classified as whether it is polarized or not I can't remember, but that one was stated as to use. I will have to look it up and post later whether coleman or naphta was polarized or not. Toulene for certain was stated. Just before adding the toluene, test the ph of the aqueous solution containing the meth/iso. It should be around 6 1/2-7 1/2. 6 1/2 was ideal. Either add minute amounts of acid or base to correct the ph. I have found that most of the time the solution is already within those limits of 6.5 to 7.5 without having to adjust the solution at all. THEN add the toluene in equal proportions to aqueous solution. They said they had successfully used other ratios, but that 1:1 was best. Shake vigourously for a couple minutes to interact the two solutions and wait for separation to occur again into two layers. Here, a separation funnel is useful, but I pulled the bottom layer (water-based) off with makeshift bottle and syringe etc. The iso wil be in the organic solvent, and the meth with only trace adulterant will be in the water base. If there is any msn along with the iso cut, it will have to be removed at some point from the solid product with acetone wash. Dehydrate the water-base layer to yield nearly perfect (as can be, depending on how the meth was cooked in the first place) cut free product. I hope this helps everybody. It has given me a new outlook on a dismal prospect of having to live with this crap, and I hope you all find this solution to be simple enough to carry out routinely. I don't know if you all have suffered from this iso cut everywhere, but here in southern California it is all we get every day, and have for years. But now we do not have to settle for that crap anymore. I wish they would take all the time they spend on trying to screw us, and just apply those efforts to creating a fair priced product that is unadulterated and well made. Shit. We are not stupid, most of us, and credit to those who have taken the time to identify the cut and attempted testing different methods over the years to separate it out of our beloved recreational drug. I can not say for sure, but it is my belief that the iso may be more harmful physically to humans than the meth itself in the long term. Apparently there are not any studies yet as to the long term effects of iso cut. Apparently time will be the teacher. If anyone has any specific questions, please ask. I will do my best to quote from the article, or give my own experience regarding the separation process. I am hesitant to post the article, as I do not want any legal repercussions from it's complete disclosure. That is an unfortunate fear of the way things operate in these parts. Now go get you a good clean high experience!
