breaking bad is so fucking on point.

except that if they were really into making money and had those connections they would be making the worlds supply of LSD in that lab

Thanks guys!

I am glad you guys respect the fact that I can level with someone whos not an organic chemist.  A lot of times smart people just overcomplicate the shit out of things so they can keep a monopoly on their intelligence, kinda like lawyer-speak.  Einstein said you don't really know something until you can explain it simply so I really do strive to always communicate clearly and to the point.

Listings for larger amounts up to 2kgs (10L) will eventually be up for a good price.

2kg @ 1.01 (g/ml) OR  (kg/L) density = (2.02L)
So youre right, in organic chemistry weights/volumes can be tricky
But I don't understand why you are implying 2kgs of sass oil takes a volume of 10L, it takes exactly 2.02L
Am I over-thinking this or did you underthink this?

Yeah maybe this is the best way of putting it:
This work is like cooking a badass creme brule, a beginner can make a bit of delicious creme brule but a lot is left stuck to the plates, on the oven, spilled on the floor.  A true chef zips around the kitchen, never spilling a drop and being total focused on the details.  While the creme brules are almost the same thing between the two, the chef does it more efficiently and in the way he puts it together, either the preparation or presentation, there is just a little something extra you can't put your finger on that really gives it the magic.

It may not be rocket science but a more than proficient knowledge of Organic Chemistry seems to be required from research into the synth process...not sure if even a community level o-chem course could provide the knowledge/experience to make a successful batch of mdma.  Please correct me if I'm wrong Dr. Deep...I'm intrigued by the process and desire to learn more.  I've only have couple batches of dmt extraction under my belt...mdma is obviously much more involved in both knowledge of o-chem and the associated lab procedure.

If you understand how distillation and reflux work as well as how to use a separatory funnel, what else do you need to know to follow a guide?  You don't really need theoretical knowledge if the guide is well written.  Maybe a good base of common sense, attention to detail and some previous technical experience helps but I have seen total drones being shown a process and not 4 days later repeating it perfectly.  Like I said, if you know how to use a frying pan and oven, you just need a good cookbook to make a panty-dropping dish, not years of cordeon blue schooling.

Instead of using acetic anhydride, try propanoic anhydride.  One extra carbon, makes it more fat soluble, crosses the blood brain barrier easier.  This makes smack that is knock-out active at like 20mg and lasts 12+ hours.  Heres a trade secret: use a tiny amount of sodium acetate as a catalyst to speed up this reaction.

Making both acetic anhydride and propanoic anhydride are a lot easier than it seems.

Get a pyrex and sprinkle it with 1/8" sodium bisulf*A*te, put this right up under your oven heating element set on broil.  Keep going until it bubbles and a thin white film develops on the surface.  If you see white vapor coming off you are heating it too much, although most ovens are perfect.

When this is done let it cool, break it up and blend it into fine powder, leave it in the blender.  This is sodium pyrosulfate.

Calculate an equimolar amount of calcium proprionate (for propanoic anhydride) or calcium ethanoate (aka calcium acetate) (for acetic anhydride).  Toss this in a blender with your sodium pyrosulfate and mix, then quickly pour it into a pyrex boiling flask.

Toss this in a heated sandbath with either a distillation head or a heat-safe tube coming off it.  Your anhydride will distill off easily with no side products.

Distill off all the IPA, extract with water, increase pH, extract with DCM or xylene and gas this time
Sounds like you had some weak crystallization going on.  If your solution was dry you would have said, "my stirbar looks like the abominable snowman" but sea urchine implies that crystallization is not proceeding correctly, most likely due to water.  Even over acidified and wet you can still extract with water and convert back to freebase.

You can get the compound pure from china.  One of my suppliers has sold it, always thought its gona be a rough day when I get a quote on that stuff.  Luckily iv never had to ask him.
