2) Put your pills into the blender or food processor and grind theminto powder. Mix them in with the 1 1/2 cups of Ammoniun Nitratefertilizer. Use the funnel to pour the mixture into the 2 literbottle.3) Hold your cans of starting fluid upside-down and hold the buttonuntil all of the air is out. Once the air is out, use a screwdriver (Iuse a bottle opener.) to poke a hole in the bottom of the cans. Usingthe funnel again, pour the liquid (ethyl ether) out of the cans intothe 2 Liter with the Ammonium Nitrate/pills mixture.4) Now you have to take the Lithium strips out of the batteries (Thisis why I recommend being experienced.). Tighten the tubing cutter ontothe center of the battery and spin it around until the metal casing iscut. Be careful not to cut into the guts of the battery. If you messup the battery may become extremely hot and catch fire. Next take your2 plyers and grab each end of the battery. Pull each side of thecasing off. Once the insides are out of the casing, place them in anair tight container (Tupperware, Rubbermaid, etc.). They can be storedfor up to 3 hours. The lithium will become very volatile if exposed tomoisture in the air or water. Be careful!5) Unroll the guts of the first battery and remove the Lithium strip.There are two strips in a Lithium battery, so be sure not to get thewrong one. You do not want the one that has shiny metal around theedges. Tear the Lithium strip into tiny pieces and place them in the 2Liter. Do the same with the other two batteries.6) Take the cap off your bottle of Lye and fill its cap with it. Pourthis into the 2 Liter as well. Use the funnel!7) Take the top of the 2 Liter and fill it with water. Pour the waterinto the 2 Liter. Repeat once. You should see little bubble floatingto the top of the liquid in the bottle. Place the cap on the bottleand swish it around a little (do not shake!).8) Now your dope is cooking (I call it "rolling"). About every 5minutes loosen the cap a little to release the pressure and to make it"roll" a little harder. After about 10 seconds re-tighten the cap.Don't breathe too deeply, because gaseous ammonia is released.9) You have to keep adding Lye or your dope will stop "rolling". Aboutevery 20 minutes add about 1 cap (use the cap off the lye bottle!) ofLye. Tighten the top tight on the 2 Liter and shake the bottlevigorously for about 8 seconds. Loosen the top, releasing thepressure, and the dope will start "rolling" perfectly. Repeat every 20minutes. You do not want to use more than 2/3 bottle of Lye, so youmay have to adjust the amount you add or how often you add it to makeit go for 2 hours.10) After 2 hours, your dope is through "rolling". Get the funnel andplace it in the 1 Liter bottle. Put two coffee filters in the funneland pour the liquid from the 2 Liter through them into the 1 literbottle. Pour a little at a time to make sure you don't let any getoutside the filters. Once the 1 liter is filled, tighten the top on itall the way. It'll ruin your dope if you let dirt or moisture get intoit.11) Take the 2nd top to the 1 liter and the top to the 20 oz. and cutholes in them barely big enough to fit the plastic/rubber hose into.Put each end of the hose into each top and make them air tight usingductape or electrical tape. Make sure you use a clean hose!12) Remove the cap from the 1 liter bottle and screw on the one withthe hose attached to it. Pour iodized salt into your 20 oz. until itis filled about 1/2 inch from the bottom. Take the cap from your 2liter or another cap the same size and fill it with Liquid Fire. Pour

How to make Methamphetamine
How to Make Cryztal Dope in 2-3 Hours Using a 2 Liter Bottleby Lord Mighty--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclaimer: Neither I nor the host of this page take anyresponsibility for your actions after reading this text. This materialis for educational purposes only. It is to inform the general publicof the materials and methods used by clandestine chemists tomanufacture this highly illegal substance. By scrolling beyond thispoint, you agree not to try any of this and not to bring any criminalcharges to the creators of this file.
Note: This is a very easy 12-Step program. :-)
Introduction:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------This recipe makes REAL Crystal Methamphetamine, unlike most recipesout there that only make crank. This is not hypo either, it's kick assammonia dope. My way was developed to be quick and to not give off asmuch smell as other methods. It doesn't require going out and stealinganhydrous ammonia from farms either. I still only recommend doing itif you have had previous experience making dope. Clean up is easy too.All you have to do is wash out the bottles you used and throweverything away.
Materials:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------1 2 Liter Bottle (with cap)1 1 Liter Bottle (get 2 caps for it)1 20 oz. Bottle (with cap)1 Quart Jar2 ft. 1/4in. diameter rubber/plastic hose (aquarium hose works good)Coffee Filters1 Funnel1 Tubing Cutter (go to Home Depot)2 Plyers1 Roll of Ductape or Electrical Tape 1 Blender or Food Processor
200 60mg Pseudophedrine HCL pills (Actifed, Sudafed, Suphedrine, etc.)1 1/2 cups Ammonium Nitrate fertilizer (33-0-0)3 cans starting fluid3 AA Energizer Lithuim Batteries1 bottle Red Devil brand Lye2 caps of water (use the top off the 2 liter)1 box Iodized Salt1 bottle Liquid Fire brand drain opener
Procedure:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------1) Rinse and dry out all of your bottles. Be sure to get ALL of themoisture out. Don't go any further until they are completely dry.

the Liquid Fire onto the salt and tightly screw the top attached tothe other end of the hose onto the 20 oz. Shake the 20 oz.left-to-right for about 4 seconds. Pump (squeeze and release) it onceand sit it down. Smoke will begin the fill the 1 liter. As the smokebegins to go into the liquid, you will see the dope "fall". It lookssnow. When the smoke stops, take the top off the 1 liter and tie aknot in the hose. Put the other top back on the 1 liter and shake itvigorously for 30 seconds. Let the crystal settle. Put the funnel overthe jar with 2 new coffee filters it it and pour the liquid throughthem. A little bit of meth gets caught in the filters, but the reststays in the bottle. Cut the top half of the bottle off and use a hairdryer to dry the crystal. Snort it or smoke it and get high as a bat.
