This is a fictional story -- any resemblance to any persons living or dead is strictly by accident. This has no bearing on the real world. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Allright, I can tell you whatever you need to know. I'm a pro at this .. I've been making see through crystal shards out of bathtub crank for about a year now ... Now what you want to do with what your freind has, is going to be REALLY REALLY easy ... I'll give you the simple non-fuckup method ... you are going to need a few things. 1: a hot plate. do NOT use an open FLAME!!! 2: a pyrex Dish ... (like a measuring cup, glass, you know what I'm talking about) 3: Some Coffee Filters, or a glass turkey baster like thing, depending on how you want to do this. Method A: to make it MUCH BETTER ... (nice and shiny) dump all your meth into the pyrex dish, and turn on the hot plate. Get it nice and toasty. Pour enough acetone in the dish with the meth to cover it completely, and then some. Place the dish on the hot plate and let the Acetone come to an easy boil, and lightly stir the rocks around in the acetone. Let if evaporate (DO NOT BREATHE!) untill the acetone is about half gone (still leaving enough left to cover the rocks at least half way) now remove the heat source, shake around the dish so the acetone is nicely stirred around the rocks, and gather all the rocks onto one side of the dish. now what you want to do is tilt the dish at an angle so that all your meth ends up on one side, out of the acetone, and all your acetone ends up on the other .. this shit evaporates so quickly that once the rocks are no longer IN the acetone, they will stat to dry .. now keeping the acetone and the dope seperate, take your turkey baster and lift off all of the acetone out of the dish, leaving any meth powder in the dish, and squirt the acetone into a couple coffee filters. Let the dope dry, and it should now sparkle very nicely, any color should be gone, if it is not, repeat the proccess. Let the coffee filters dry, and then look on them ... you may see crystalized dope on them, which you can scrape off carefully. Otherwise, you may just see gooey shit which is cut or unreacted ephedrine. Use your own judgement whether or not you should keep this crud. Now this is the EASY way of doing it ... the BETTER way of doing it, but you tend to lose more dope in the proccess, is almost exactly the same .. the only difference is this: in the beginning, instead of just dumping in the meth, grind it up into a very fine powder, leaving no rocks or chunks. and then in the end be more carefull when you dispose of the acetone, be sure to dump ALL of it onto coffee filters to collect the purrified dope that will not pass through the coffee filters. Now this method will take out ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of all your UNREACTED CHEMICALS ... it is NOT gauranteed to take out all CUTS, sometimes people throw in some REALLY stanky cuts, like dirt or aspirin, or whatever ... but if you are getting this straight from or close to the source, just not purified yet, this proccess will leave you will sparkly white or MAYBE translucent crystaly powder ... NOTE: This is only ONE step of a two step proccess to making REAL CRYSTAL SHARDS ... this is the PURIFYING stage .. stage 2 is the RE-CRYSTALIZING stage ... this is where the alcohol comes into play .. I'm not going to go into details on stage two, as to do it the REAL correct way, you need an aspirator (vacuum filtration pump) and much more flammable /explosive chemicals (denatured alcohol) Needless to say, with step one you should be able to refine your product SO much that it will blow anybody away ... If it comes to the point where you want clues hints, help or anything else on the chemistry of methamphetamine, the second stage, or anything like that, go ahead and send me email and I'll get back to you. I can take orange jym-sock crank and turn it into shards of see through crystal the size of your pinky finger in six hours ... and that's when I take my time ... - Racer X
