The fight against meth is odd. I grew up in the country where a lot of people made meth. Making supplies harder to find isn't going to do a thing against the big problem. After it got harder to find current supplies, they just found new sources. Last time I asked, the current source for ephedrine are the red/maroon livestalk salt licks which yield a great amount of ephedrine. Also they used to make what they called anhy. This was a method were once you had everything mixed you would bubble anhydrous ammonia gas into your solution to change the PH as part of the chemical extraction. This yielded a very clean pure powdery meth. After this hard to find gas got too hard to find they just started making crystal meth which uses sulfuric acid and iodine and produces shards of meth. The last person I knew who was cooking dope said he learned how to do it in a class in prison. It was done with the intention of educating people to recognize the signs of a meth lab, but come on, I dont buy that.
Anyhow, phenylephrine is crap and doesn't work on me. I have to buy cough syrup and a box of pseudophedrine when I'm sick
