LOL.. yeah, I figured. To be honest bro, until I saw your post in the meth thread I was thinking you were on something like day 5 :PI think sodium carbonate is used as a reagent when going from phenylalanine to methamphetamine, but I'm not a chemist and I never paid that much attention to those cooks... I mean they involve a lot of steps and are just more complex and stuff, so I may be way off here.
