Found this interesting little tid bit of information that will be highly useful..
It’s a process to purify meth and Amphetamine of a commonly added cut called MSM (aka methylsufonylmethane, dimethyl sulphone).
This cut while not so often added to amphetamines these days (still is but other cuts have also joined the picture) is very often added to other drugs like Ketamine and MDMA. The below process should work for these drugs too.
“Source: MICROGRAM; 1999; V32 (1); January; P10
Abstract: It is frequently the case that samples of methamphetamine hydrochloride or amphetamine hydrochloride are mixed exclusively with dimethyl sulphone. It was found that, when attempts were made to identify the methamphetamine/amphetamine salt in the presence of dimethyl sulphone, the dimethyl sulphone interfered with the IR spectrum. In order to isolate the controlled substances from the dimethyl sulphone, therefore, the sample was heated in a convection oven for 10 minutes at a temperature of 115C. As the sample was heated, the dimethyl sulphone sublimated, leaving behind the methamphetamine hydrochloride or amphetamine hydrochloride. If this process does not work, then heating the sample for a further 10 minutes should solve the problem.”
When looking at Drugs Data, MDMA and Ketamine are most often cut with it. Ketamine being by far the most common and highest proportions.
Ketamine HCl melting point is 262C. MDMA HCl is 147-153C. Both would likely be left unscathed if heated to 115C in an oven for 30min to ensure it’s all gone.
My belief is that Ketamine often found in large chunks is cut with MSM, whereas the small needle like shards are probably more pure.
Any comments? I may try this if I ever get my hands on any more than a point of K.
