Something like the rp/I2 method IMHO takes very little chemistry knowledge to do.  If at least 60% of the people who do meth would take the time to learn and make it, prices would drop dramatically do to the sudden slump on the market.  Nobody would buy/sell meth anymore, as they could make it or know some who does.  That would make some people shit out of luck, but a great deal more would be very happy (and really jacked on cheap good shit).<br><br>Now I say that is sad because in reality people are lazy, esp. people with money, which is why this doesn't happen.  And you would think with all the meth they buy they wouldn't be so lazy.  Take my ex-roomates of course, who were meth feinds.  I never once bought my own pills the whole time.  Never had to scrape a striker, they were more than willing to spend $10 and a few hours of there god given time to get a gram of the finest and best shit they would ever touch.  But they are still lazy, cause I tried teaching them right before we split, and they were too uninterested to be interested, do you get what I mean?  They even said they wanted to learn, after all they were about to lose a very great priveledge buy not living with me anymore.  But they sit at there house today, not doing ice, but doing nothing because they are lazy (probably a good thing they way they were getting, from the constant ice use, not the lazyness).<br><br><br>Basically, learn to make it, and unless you somehow get busted or something else equally as bad happens, you will never in your life regret that you took the time.  A couple hours doing something like scraping match strikers sucks, but it is time well spent. </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr class="text_bg"> <td align="left" valign="bottom"><img

My understanding, after UTMFSE is that it really is just the powdered meth hcl, recrystallized to look cosmetically appealing, while removing some impurities from crappy product. Well, I have tried this recrystallization step with denatured alcohol and acetone, as per previous instructions, but NEVER seem to form the shards as per previous instructions. <br><br>Before an elder bee erases my message and does the UTFSE thing, I have used it over and over and over again. I have followed Worloks procedure to a tee. A dozen times at LEAST. <br><br>1. I dissolve the product in denatured alcohol and bring to a boil. I boil it down until it forms a slight skin. <br><br>2. Then I remove from heat and add enough acetone to create a slight cloudiness. Put back on the heat till boiling.<br><br>3. Cover pot and put in freezer for 12 hours. <br><br>Forms TINY crystal masses that look clear when wet but dry relatively opaque. I have tried varying the quantities of acetone and alcohol considerably with no better results.<br><br>Can anyone offer constructive advise better than UTFSE?<br><br>I'm wondering if product is heated and compressed like sand will it form "glass"?
