can't you get it outa batteries

Well theres this one place out on Route.... WTF dude just go look around for a synth you should beable to with a little work get some outa old car batteries.

its diluted and fucked up. dont bother. just buy some. car batteries wont have enough when you clean it up.

Getting sulfuric acid isn't too difficult especially when you live near a few universities.

Major research facilities have a great deal of undergraduate, dungeon-like labs which store concentrated (6M) sulfuric acid on the lab benches. These labs are typically open during the day and do not have tight security. Depending on the strength of the department, you can basically pilfer anything there-- from sulfuric acid to concentrated nicotine (if there's some leftover from lab).

However, for those more isolated from large institutions of brainwashing, one may go to a smaller, more demented institution. You can visit your local high school and scope out the chemical situation there. Surprisingly enough, there is a lot of material available-- just kinda tricky to get your hands on. However, I'm certain you're resourceful.

sweet ass sweet IG. think me and a friend will make a university sweep around the philadephia area universities and do some scoping. thanks dude, had no idea security was light like that in undergrad chem programs.

chloral hydrate is manufactured under the name Noctec as a prescribtion Hypnotic incase you cant make it. It is Rx only though.

Go to a hardware store that specializes in plumbing supplies and you can buy concentrated sulphuric acid (used as drain cleaner) in a half gallon plastic jug for about $15.00. I just did that last week and am working on Chloral Hydrate myself right now as we speak. Car battery acid contains about 20% and you need at least 80%. It also contains other additives to protect the lead (which is also unhealthy).I wouldn't use anything so impure. Car battery acid is ok for fireworks,but not safe to use in drugs.

yea, fireworks are a lot safer- NO, wtf?? explosives hmmm yea i think not. its called muriatic acid at a hardware store, and its not lab grade, not a good idea.

geez, you really dont have to add that you are ACTUALLY DOING IT. this stuff is for informational purposes remember? we need a front page with a disclaimer or something....

u can buy it at hardware stores. look at the drain openers. one or more of them should contain concentrated sulfuric acid. most of them will contain sodium hydroxide or sodium hypochlorite. dont get those, they are quite the opposite of what youre looking for.
