if someone was going to try to make crank, what would be the correct way?

the best way would be to do a lot of reading and learning about chemistry, and then read a few different synths, and then choose what is the right one for you. There is no simple easy and quick way to make meth if you dont have any chemistry knowledge.

the original syths i received off the internet told me to use vics inhalers for a base, muriatic acid, crystal drano(fake lye), and starter fluid, which is used to make ether. does this sound in any way familiar. i am paranoid as hell talking to you about this and i would like to talk privately. i realize you know what you are talking about. if someone was determined to make this and has already taken the time to research and is willing to listen and cooperate, how could he get in contact with someone who would help him?

yeah that sounds familiar but it wont work. you can only make l-meth from vics inhalers, it is only an inactive isomer of methamphetamine. Meaning that it will test positve for meth but it is inactive and you wont feel anything from it. The easiest way i would guess is probaly using the old Hi reduction of ephedrine. but i only dream of course.

how would someone extract the ephedrine? and why when i go on to chat there is never anyone there to talk too? i want to talk to someone at a faster pace?

acidmelt is right about the product of those Vicks inhalers being the inactive l isomer however through the process of steric inversion it could be changed to the desired d isomer. You have to put it in sealed glass tubes and keep them at 100 degrees celsius for three days. I no longer have this particular abstract but it was from the Journal of the American Chemical Society and was titled something like "Stereo Chemistry of Amphetamine". On the other hand you'd be better off buying finished product from someone when you take into consideration the price of the inhalers and the labor involved.

3 days is a huge waste of time. nobody in there right mind would make l-meth and then change over to d. I mean you can make pure speed in like 4 hours, so why would anyone go through all the trouble of making l-meth and then changing to d, nobody would of course.
