Meth At HomeMeth At Home Crystal meth is so easy to mix up, and contains only about 15 ordinary substances, that there is a real danger that a user can get a home cooked batch. The ingredients are mostly pseudoephedrine (a cold remedy), red phosphorous and iodine, ammonia, paint thinner, ether, Drano and the lithium from batteries. Personally those ingredients scare me! Police say $150 of stuff can make $10,000 worth of the street drug. However, there is a very real danger that this batch will be impure and highly dangerous for the user. For those who want to try cooking it up at home, double your fire and life insurance first, because this home cookery often results in explosions and fires.Crystal meth is so easy to mix up, and contains only about 15 ordinary substances, that there is ..... Because of the money to be made, everybody wants to try cooking their own. There are even instructions on the World Wide Web, and its popularity has risen greatly during the last fifteen years. It is especially popular with the motorcycle gangs which are taking over a lot of the drug trade. Some of these have set up small labs for making meth, because of the high profit potential. So you have probably figured out that you should not try cooking your own, and buying crystal meth is hazardous beyond the danger of the drug itself. A bad batch can do horrible things to you. Think about the ingredients. They are poisons, acids and gasses which can kill. Think about the damage any one of these can do to you. Drano can dissolve body tissue. Paint thinner can burn your skin and even catch fire, and the fumes can be toxic too. Ammonia burns your eyes and nose. Of course, if you are already dependent upon this drug, you may not care much about these hazards, but if you are thinking of trying it, think twice. Now the last question I usually hear is, “If it's so bad, how come it's so popular?” Several reasons come to mind: people may ignore the dangers when doing drugs, people may develop a dependency before they know the dangers, there is big money in selling it to unsuspecting victims, young people often think they are invulnerable and the prevailing attitude that addiction or damage from drugs is something that happens to other people, “not me”. | A Month In The Life Of The Drug War | |
