I am so sick of all the tweek stories.
What is this myth about growing E?
Is it possible to grow ephedrine or a substitute? something about almond extract
and letting it sit for 30 days. HOW?

I am not sure what synth you are talkin about but its not true and wont work. YOu can grow ephedra and extract ephedrine from that.

Isnt sasafras root used in making E? Or does sasafras root just have ephedrine in it? Or am I just way off here?

In any case, you cant just grow the drug! I know that much!

yeah sass can be used for the essential oils of course but its not X, its still just sass. Theres no ephedrine in it. BUt there is in ephedra.

Sassafras has nothing to do with ephedrine. People get the term "E" confused. Ephedra plants contain ephedrine.

Recently I've been doing alot of reasearch into enzymes and fungal/bacterial biotechnology for use in alternate fuels production (I want to set up a micro biology lab to compliment my organic lab now) And I'd bet there is an organism out there that produces and enzyme that aminates terminal (or Beta) alkenes. Just a matter of loading safrole (or isosafrole) into a reactor with the proper substrates and vitamins etc. and innoculate with the particular organism. React for a few days and voila, extract and crystalize your product. If the organism metabolizes the safrole/iso substrate (most likely) one will need to grow a culture and separate the enzyme system then use it in vitro. Filtration (extracellular enzyme) or lysing (intracellular enzyme) will need to be used.

Ciao,
gotta go kill some more trees!
