I wouldn't mess with it. A lot of people are making garbage anymore because of poor lab tek and using non-reagent grade chemicals. It's also a good way to end up in jail, as with these conspiracy to manufacture laws, you can end up in a federal proson for 12 years, just for having a three-necked flask...  
I think the internet has really killed the meth trade, the same way those caffeine pills in the back of high times killed the boot amphetamine business back in the eighties, but that's just my Humble Opinion.

"I think the internet has really killed the meth trade, the same way those caffeine pills in the back of high times killed the boot amphetamine business back in the eighties, "
As usual though Papaver, an opinion based strongly on logistics and realities as opposed to someone just wishing to espouse a point of view........personally meth scares the living bejabbers out of me (now) but your point is well taken

> What's an amphetamine boot?
I think that's what Bennie and the Jets had...
Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight's hitting something
That's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around
You're gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
But they're so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Bennie and the Jets
Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who's right and who's wrong
Seriously, I meant the amphetamine bootleg pill business. Which was a real big thing in the seventies, when I was coming of age, but then it got smashed all the hell by the jars of caffeine/ephedrine pills that were getting sold in the back of High-Times magazine. In a few years, it had gotten to the point that nobody even bothered to press amphetamine pills anymore, because no one new what they were. People were selling these stupid caffeine capsules, which were big, black, and had "DEX" written on the side of them. It was both funny and sad at the same time?
In the same way, there?s a lot of poorly reduced ephedrine and shit being sold as meth, and many kids don?t even know the difference. This too, is both funny and sad?

Not just that, but those "bogus" amphetemine pills made my face break out in zits........it became a joke, you thought you were buying some Ionomine or Biphetamine and all you were really getting was an admixture of caffeine/ephedra

Yes, those were truly sad times...
It always pisses me off to see bogus or poor quality drugs floating around, and then see people abusing this stuff and thinking it's the real thing. I don't know, just a pet peeve of mine, or something...

Yes, I think I probably, most definitely, would!
When you coming back home?

Define "Home" I think i'm already here...........but believe me, the FX of my overindulgences are still being felt. The beauty is, it says right on the packages:"not to be be administerered without a doctor's prescription" and the truth is man, these people don't care, and they're plentiful(the actual pharmacies themselves) sort of like fast food places over here! no lie! and you can drink openly in the parks or on the street and the police dont't give 2 shitz.............in a way it's paradise but at the same time there are no limits to protect YOU from yourself................is this making any sense? I might be going over again for a couple of weeks next spring, if you're interested in tagging along just for the craziness, just lmme know, alright?

Great read. I like how they compared them to moonshiners.

Man I made a killin' selling "herbal extacy" back in the mid 90's back when it was the shit.
$18 a dose. I sold a good 20-30 a week there for a while.

I had repeat customers, they must have thought it was worth it.
I was paying $6 a dose for it.
I liked it better than white crosses, or No-Doze, but that's about it.
It was a good herbal stimulant pill, but I can mix up something better with a good tea.
Whish I had a few Khat plants.
