Stimulants Which solvent is commonly used for amphetamine/speed paste?

Hi,

[With paste i mean the suspension of the amphetamine salt in a solvent, not the freebase]

every time, when i get my hands on such a speed paste, it smells kind of bloomy, and i wonder what solvent it is!?

Greetings

Typically amphetamine "paste" is water-based, because amphetamine salts are deliquescent (absorb water from the air). What you smell may be amphetamine freebase, phenylacetone, or side products from the synthesis.

Realistically though, you can only guess, because there's no "standard" recipe for paste. In a lot of cases dealers will bulk it out with e.g. lactose or other wierd stuff.
