MY MATH METAL

The production of methamphetamine has been made more difficult by federal regulations aimed at controlling the flow of precursor chemicals such as ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, as well as other necessary components. Through theft, subterfuge, forgeries, personal connections and sheer willpower, determined cooks are able to collect enough materials to make some home-grown meth.

Being determined and being safe are two different things -- almost 6 pounds (2.7 kilograms) of toxic material is produced for each pound of meth cooked. This fact, however, doesn't stop crystal meth addicts from brewing sloppy batches of fuming, stinking, toxic speed in poorly ventilated environments. Houses used as meth labs are often uninhabitable afterward, and cities and states involved in meth lab busts often don't bother with seizing the property, since nobody in their right mind would purchase it at an auction, even at a steep discount. Small meth labs can be found in suburban houses, motel rooms, car trunks, in campsites or in the woods. Outdoor operations often result in water contamination and a dying-off of nearby vegetation.

Large-scale labs are often located inside abandoned barns or warehouses set up specifically for the purpose of factory-line production of methamphetamine. Although superlabs only make up 4 percent of total labs, they produce about 80 percent of the meth that winds up on the street .

Much as a destination can be reached by taking one of several different routes, so too can crystal methamphetamine be produced by a number of different methods. All of them, though, involve ephedrine or pseudoephedrine. The entire process can involve as many as 32 different chemicals.

Without getting into an exact recipe, we'll look at how large-scale operations (who are more likely to use a methodical and exact approach to their production) make crystal meth.

-If the ephedrine or pseudoephedrine isn't already in pure powder form, then it must be separated from the tablets of cold medicine that contain it. To do this, the cold medicine tablets are mixed with a solvent and the solution is then filtered and exposed to low temperatures to separate and remove the inert material of the tablet.

-The pure pseudoephedrine is then mixed with red phosphorus and hydriodic acid.

-The red phosphorus is then filtered out (and later reused), and the remaining acid is neutralized by adding a lye solution.

-A substance is added that will bind to the meth, and the liquid meth is then drained out.

-Hydrogen chloride gas is bubbled through the liquid meth, making it a crystalline hydrochloride salt.

-This is poured through a filter cloth, and the meth that is left on the filter is then dried.

-Once dry, the meth is "stepped on" (mixed down with inert filler in order to maximize profits), weighed and packaged for shipment or sale.

This process generally takes about two days' time and can result in hundreds of thousands of methamphetamine doses.

good shit

[JoeyMammoth]

Too fucking good. Can't stop listening

[SirAlaska]

@JoeyMammoth This is Vildhjarta's "Traces". He didn't make this.

[SirAlaska]

FLAG THIS crap. People are viewing this who are unfamiliar with Vildhjarta's music and this douche is passing it off as his own, giving Vildhjarta NO CREDIT FOR USING THEIR MUSIC. And what does meth have to do with math metal?

[AcdcMan012]

Yep, it can djent.

[MrDeeeeeee]

This is TRACES !!!!

Just a faster version.

[MALSIV]

Traces!

[36CRAZYFIST666]

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhh

Feel goodddd!!!!...............

[celtacortacabezasxD]

This is a copy . The original song is Traces from Vildhjarta.

I like the original version in it´s original pitch

[seydd]

hmm i think i know this song

[keglimp]

i have hydrochloric acid, liquid ammonia, sodium hydroxide to name a few, all sitting in my room where i sleep. i hate drugs but i am sick to death of all you foolish human baby worms telling people of hazards and dangers which do not exist IN THE REAL WORLD! how do you think all your medicines are made?? panadol/apsrin anything pharmaceutical's all made using mostly the same chemicals and techniques just different precursors. I wish people could see that government's are more dangerous.

[DanteLeblanc]

You're full of shit dude. This is just Vildhjarta's Traces on methamphetamine.
