Production of methylamphetamine fre

Production of methylamphetamine free base
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Add the 95% ethanol or everclear drop by drop until the sludge is
dissolved. It should go into solution very easily. I doubt it if many people
will be able to get 100% ethanol, but the purer the better, since trace
amounts of water inhibit the next step in the preparation.

Total volume should not exceed 50 mls at this point. You can make
the solution up to 50 mls if you wish. VERY carefully add 1 gram of sodium
borohydride to the solution, add the relux condensor to the top of the round
bottom flask, and start to boil the mixture (eg, on a hot plate...NOT on an
open flame. The cold water going thru the reflux condensor will keep the
ethanol from evaporating, yet the high temperature of the reaction vessel will
allow the reaction to go forward as desired. Let this go for about 4 hours.
Take away from the hot plate and let cool slowly to room temperature.

AFTER the solution has cooled to room temperature, add 50 mls of
saturated salt solution. At this point, you should see little oil drops
floating on the surface of the liquid. This is methylamphetamine. Add 50 mls
of diethyl ether to the COOLED flask( room temperature is ok ). Transfer the
contents to a separatory funnel, cap, invert, and IMMEDIATELY open the
stopcock. Some gas will escape. Close the stopcock, gently swirl, and open to
vent off and gas. Repeat until no more pressure developes after 5-10 seconds
of gentle agitation.

Draw off the lower layer and set aside for a moment. Drain the upper
ether layer into a beaker containing 10 grams of sodium sulfate. Add the layer
that you had set aside BACK to the separatory funnel, and add another 50 mls
of ether. Cap, invert, vent, etc until NO more pressure developes. Drain off
the lower water layer and discard. Drain the ether layer into the beaker with
the first portion of ether. Cover this with saran wrap and let sit over nite.

Decant the ether solution into a clean beaker and gently heat this
over very hot water. As the ether evaporates( please use good ventilation ),
you will be left with a beige sludge. This beige sludge is methylamphetamine.
You can do two things at this stage; i) Prepare 'glass' for smoking or
freebasing, or prepare crystal meth for shooting up.

i) if you want to prepare solid ice, stick the beaker in the freezer,
and wait for crystal formation.

ii) if you want to prepare `crystal' for shooting up, dissolve the beige
ice in about 10 mls of anhydrous (very dry) diethyl ether. Add ethereal
HCL drop by drop. After each drop, you'll see a little white suspension
form. This is methylamphetamine hydrochloride. Add ethereal HCL until
no more white powder forms. You could then decant off any ether, and
let the powder dry on tinfoil or whatever. This should be 90% pure.
