This write up though meant to be deterrent; is very highly exaggerated. Car batteries; fertilisers etc don't exist as natural elements. So you don't extract things from them directly to make meth crystal; Rather those elements used (series of xcal processes) in making batteries and co. Are also used in formulating meth crystal; but not necessarily have to be converted to batteries and fertilisers first.

Of course. Haha. It's not like they have to go find a match box or go find bathroom cleaner to extract those ingredients. That's a laborious process anyway. Those ingredients are usually obtained separately from warehouses of chemical plants. Or simply bought from a corrupt chemist or lab attendant.

However they are all very toxic substances used in making those products listed. So in order to give people an idea of the toxicity, how else would you explain it ? Asides from maybe petrol which everybody knows, how would you describe red phosphorus or toluene to a layman in a way they would understand that it's not meant for consumption ?

Having said that, the lithium used is almost always taken directly from car batteries

Methamphetamine I know is expensive, how is the one being sold in Nigeria cheap??

The price is anything from $2 to $20 depending on the grade.

This is not a SE matter alone it’s the entire nation, What about those yahoo boys smoking Colorado in SW, I was in Ogun state Mid September so I invited this chic to my hotel room I controlled her all the way from Abk so she told me to give her money for smoke which I did, she got to my room it’s wasn’t the regular weed She sprinkled some brown or ash stuff on it I really don’t know what it was but looks more like nyaope, she wrapped a very tiny smoke and she said this shit cost her 2,500 I was unbothered so she only took 3 puffs I swear na so this babe begin drool like new born baby all efforts to snap her out of that realm were fruitless, me I don dey pack my bag the moment she started breathing abnormally Naso babe talk say make I no foh say na the trips dey make her do like that, I just manage shower relax for couch while she was in her trance all the konji wey hold me don clear! Naso she enter bathroom like 3 hours later she wan dey romance me Naso I change am for the babe oo, she apologized and all once 6:30 knack I checked out straight up!

Addiction is a demon, once you are hooked on any substance then you need to seek all the help you can find, our youths needs to do better, Parents should observe their wards and get those with questionable characters the help they need either SW, SE or SS
This is a wake up call to every concerned quarters

Well OP I don't intend to discredit your post but I must say you are not very knowledgeable in this part of chemistry

Well those substances you listed above are not the components of Crystal Methamphetamine there are are just the reagents employed in its synthesis. The drug could contain some of them as impurities but not as a basic component.

Let me give you an instance,in the synthesis of paracetamol harmful chemicals such as aniline and acetic anhydride are used but the end product which is paracetamol is "edible"

Same applies to meth and every other synthetic drug,the chemical reagents used to produce the drug may be harmful while the end product may be useful to the body,in fact a chemical entity might be very harmful and a little synthetic modification of the entity would produce a very safe and useful compound.

Meanwhile Lithium is a licensed drug

Thanks for your post. You're right and I know there's a process of extracting the meth from the solution and discarding the waste.

But the fact remains that there always impurities. There is no 100% Crystal Meth on the streets or anywhere. Infact you're more likely to find 40% pure meth than you'll find 80% pure meth as they're as cheap as $2 and readily available.

Anyone who ingests meth will invariably ingest these substances as well. This is the best way to explain it to a layman to keep off drugs.

Who is talking about hard drugs? I smoke weed in my own house, not a rented house and I drink as well. That hasn't stopped me from doing my work effectively and that hasn't ruined my life either. A man who doesn't drink, doesn't smoke and doesn't talk about women, I'm sorry I can't have him as friend because we can't connect well. When I want to discuss business, I have a different set of buddies for that.

I am posting this here incase you know anybody who takes this drug. If you actually know what goes into making (cooking) crystal methamphetamine, you will likely not touch it unless you've thrown caution to wind and hellbent on ruining your system. Meth is not a natural substance from plants like marijuana. It is completely artificial.

This is for educational purposes , to inform the youth who may, out of ignorance, be lured into consuming this substance. This is not intended for use by any misguided individual for nefarious purposes.

meth is the solidified form of methamphetamine. They are usually white like ice crystals, hence the name crystal methamphetamine. Or crystal meth. There's an active ingredient in the meth which is used in medicine , but the process of creating the meth itself requires the addition of dangerous substances.

The components of meth are as follows:

1. Pseudoephedrine (the medicinal active ingredient used in cough/cold medicines )
2. Lithium (from car batteries)
3. Red phosphorus (from matchboxes , fireworks, flares, or explosives)
4. Sulfuric acid (found in toilet/bathroom cleaning fluid , it is highly corrosive)
5. Anhydrous ammonia (used in fertilizers)
6. Toluene (found in car brake fluid)
7. Acetone (used in nail polish remover)
8. Sodium hydroxide (caustic soda, used for making soap, dyes, explosives etc)
9. Hydrochloric acid (chemistry students know not to mess with concentrated HCL acid in the lab)
10. Petrol ( needs no introduction )

All these dangerous substances have a certain effect on the system . For instance , have you ever tasted or inhaled petrol while transferring from jerry can to car using a hose ? You noticed a certain lightheadedness like a high feeling, right ? Some people found a way to mix all these substances together and it turned to solid form. (That's if they did not die from explosion while boiling it).

You don't have to be told what these substances can do to your body.

Now that you know what crystal meth is made of, would you knowingly go ahead and ingest it ? Warn others and save a life.
