Stimulants Simple acetone wash for (meth)amphetamines and cocaine. <pics inside>

[draculic acid69]

So how do you get the water out of the acetone? Or can you just buy acetone that doesn't contain water?

It'll say 99.9% acetone on the label.this means it's got no water.dont waste time or money with anything else

 

[draculic acid69]

Go

I have what the bottle says to be 100% acetone, I should be able to use this to wash homemade methcathinone right?
I've read other ppl saying that acetone is bound to contain some water no mater how pure it's says it is and Epsom salt is necessary....any thruth to this at all??? The stuff I have is like beauty parlour grade unscented 100% pure acetone according to the label.

Use it.dont leave the lid off the bottle for long

Replying to an old thread as this thread has all the basics...
Just that it does not cover my needs:

How can I wash dextrose out of amphetamine?
After some googling, I found out that dextrose, a very common cutting agent around here, is not soluble to acetone. Is there any simple solving agent that leaves amphetamine dissolved while solving the dextrose?

No.chloroform or DCM can dissolve the amp/meth hydrochloride and be filtered to remove the sugar but it's only about 90% effective.the only way to fully remove sugars is freebasing and resalting it. Basically a/b extraction is necessary

 

[draculic acid69]

No

I have a question and it's probably going 2 b the dumbest question n e of u have ever been asked but here it goes n e way lol. Can nail polish remover with acetone in it be used instead of pure acetone or acetone anhydrous? Yes I'm a blonde lol.

No

I'm pretty sure baking soda and ammonia are just specific products targeted for cocaine specifically, to Make it freebase then again I'm no chemist.I don't mean to rain on your parade but I don't believe you could take caffeine and baking soda and smoke caffeine free base

I know this is an old thread, but people will find this thread useful in the time to come.
The problem here is you really need anhydrous 100% pure acetone. if even 1 drop of water is in your acetone your using this let's say on chilie, that one drop can carry up to 1/4 gram of your dinner away with it. Imagine what a few drops could do?
It's easy to get 100% acetone, most any 5 dollar nail polish removers will say right on the label, 100% pure acetone, but in chemistry one should never believe the label, especially on a 5 dollar product, stuff happens, so prove its pure and keep it pure by getting some 98cent epsom salt, the only thing here is it has to NOT be iodized. Try kosher salt or canning salt maybe, read the label.

Bake epsom salts, slowly increasing the temperature and stirring to prevent clumping, to just over 200? C (right about 400? F); I would leave it there for 45 minutes or so. Do not add the hot result to the acetone yet. personally I baked it on foil, allowing me to fold it in the foil, let it cool for a minute or two, and then immediately put it in a ziploc bag (which I put in another and then another) to prevent it pulling moisture from the air and rehydrating.

Once it?s around room temperature, 1/4 way fill a mason/canning jar (with a metal lid! acetone eats plastic and rubber) with your anhydrous magnesium sulfate (dehydrated epsom salts). Add acetone to fill the rest of the way. Put the lid on tightly, and put it all in the freezer ? you won?t freeze the acetone, don?t worry.


This is to a) keep your acetone from trying to evaporate and pressurizing your jar, but much more importantly b) to keep the solubility of the salts in your acetone as low as possible. Do you want salt in your dope? No, right? Keep it cold.

When the time comes, put your dope on a plate or a coffee filter (I use a plate) and use an eye dropper or pipette or syringe to draw acetone from the TOP of your jar and dribble it on your dope. Your dope won't dissolve and will stay in the coffee filter/plate; gak that is soluble in acetone, which quite a bit of it is, will dissolve and go through the filter or it'll go into the air with the acetone as it evaporates.

If your like me, leave the acetone in the freezer and top off as needed, you'll be using the anhydrous acetone often.
If you make your own chile and something goes afoul and the end product has an off taste, this may fix that too.

You can buy lab grade anhydrous on amazon.

I have a friend who had supposedly washed a zip wit this method e times...well I can say im doubting it is dope at all since it seems to literly not smoke and Chokes u.... Period torch or lighter same result...could ir be she didn't use 100 percent acetone instead used the womans new bff the fake finger nail friendly. Non-acetone acetone...

 

[Pill2Chill]

Glad someone bumped this - brilliant thread.

P2C would you mind if I used this over in EADD?
It's 10x better than I could come up with so...

DId I never reply to this? I know you're not a mod anymore at this point, but I hope you went ahead and used it if I forgot to reply. :D It's to help folks so making it available to more people, well you don't have to ask for permission for that. Maybe a little link to the original thread or a shoutout would be appreciated, but it's not a big deal. Having people benefit from the info is most important.

Yes this thread is ancient.

Pardon my ignorance, what is a zip ? Quick google search alludes to it being a certain amount/weight, but I saw results with it being used for weed, as well as results using it for meth and so on. If she didn't use 100% acetone, then the stuff that isn't acetone would more than likely be able to dissolve the (meth)amphetamines, and it doesnt take much to dissolve alot of it. So you'd lose the crap cuts, but also the drug. If anything remained if she used acetone that wasn't pure and contained water, or used old acetone that might've been left open for too long (it absorbs water from the air, which is why you always cap it) it would most likely be inactive crap. The pure anhydrous part is super important.

Also I just noticed the links to the pictures are dead. I'm afraid I no longer have them and since I no longer use drugs I can't exactly make new pics 'next time'. :D Maybe I'll try to make some new pics with flower or whatever some day, just to show the process, and emulate what it's supposed to look like in each step. One day.. Maybe.

Does anyone know the safety of putting acetone through standard plastic syringes? It seams like it would leach some chemicals from the plastic?
Just a thought

When I order [Anhydrous] Acetone from various chemical suppliers it comes in a plastic bottle. That would lead me to believe syringes are up to par assuming they are from a reputable seller.

 

[fairnymph]

Yep, you can absolutely use standard plastic syringes, or pipettes, when working with acetone.

I know this is an old thread. But just wanted to put a different method out there:

That link died, what was the other method?

The same way people are using Q-tips as a filter to draw up their shot. Only for this you'd use a larger needle, and a larger syringe (10ml syringe or so).



I'm betting that the acetone you have will be fine to work with. If it says 100% pure, then you can assume that it's anhydrous and does not require the epsom salts procedure. Maybe try it with a small amount at first, but I'm pretty sure it'll work as it should. Be sure not to leave the bottle open while working with it though, as it will absorb H2O from the air into the acetone, making it so that it contains just a wee bit of water. It won't be a big amount of water that gets absorbed just from leaving a bottle of acetone open for a while, but I'm just adding the info anyway. Because if you use this same bottle of acetone many times and leave it open every time you use it, it might eventually end up absorbing an amount of water that is actually significant enough to actually become a 'problem' for future acetone washes, H2O-wise.

I really liked seeing the method described with cotton filter over coffee filter or lab filters. A lot of people aren't using significantly large amountsof substance and every bit counts. It shold count even more after wash too since its a lesser "purer" amount.

 

[littlelady1221]

personnaly i would rather use distillation rather than a simple acetone wash, it's no more complicated and the product will be probably more than 90+% pure

How do u do that
