N-Isopropylbenzylamine with racemic Meth?
- Thread starter Seekinglife01

you prolly shouldnt do that without being transparent to your customers..
also im not certain anyway that this would work alot better than just optimizing actual methamphetamine crystallization process...
still contemplating whether or not to post a n-isopropylbenzylamin simple synthesis, one on hand information should be freely available on the other enabeling people to cut with agents that potentially could be harmful (although Im certain the danger of n-isopropylbenzylamin have been overblown to say the least on drug forums etc)

Aren't there rules here against cutting agents?

its not a cutting agent necessarily, for the sake of information freedom sharing synthesis of structural isomers of methamphetamine could be interesting (thats what I thought atleast) and ofc we could warn/raise awareness on how to spot meth thats likely cut (soweit das möglich ist...) yk
They wouldn't "fuse together, but they would form a solid mass. All you have to do is let it sit there long enough to evaporate all of the water. Then there in nowhere for it to go. Let's call it "a matrix" it's crystals, and a solid(ish) mass, but close inspection reveals that it's not linear and the grain of the crystals go in all directions. Look at some huge crystals and you'll see it
This for instance, is obviously more than 1 type of crystal
Those look like the greasy shadow master super shards that bug you out to the nth dimension.
I think liquid A/B would lose the majority of cuts and just about all of it, then whatever was left followed by acetone/MEK/diethyl ether (I think?) cold, anhydrous of course. It may not be necessary, you are probably just losing product after a certain point, but so you know the various ways to rinse it. Then the alcohol rextallization - this is a subjective art form. Secrets passed down from generation to generation.
Oh and yes, we can teach you how to fit all of that n-ISO directly into and up your ass. I mean for the sake of others and everyone who wants to learn and raise awareness and be able to identify various cuts in their product. We did have a similar thread going about crack backs and what not when smoking, it can tell you alot about your scante.

Yea we didn't even talk about Crack back opening, it's like reading tea leaves. People I know say sticking it up tnier ass got them way too high and they about od"ed. I'm not into putting stuff in my ass so I'll never know personally
That is kind of how this last merchandise I picked up is going. Pretty decent, you can see the jagged broken ice fishing hole clear edges - ie the good stuff. Then the other part cools down slower and forms the yellowish square/cube pattern addition, which is not homogenous to the good stuff, it seperates but is whole. I am noticing two other patterns in it also, one is a mini spiderweb pattern, the other is the squares both with black line edges, not clear edged. I'll work on getting some new pics - we should get a new thread about this going, this is surprisingly not talked about here...
When 6qas sear hing duckduckgo.0nion for "large methamphetamine crystal" I saw pictures of some crystals, the author said were N-iso he was separating from some meth, but to me were definitely L-meth. I deleted my reddit account after getting a message I didn't like, so I can't see the post or what it said

@SoldadoDeDrogas yes please start a collection-thread on n-iso, I'd happily helpw with it and deliver a fully wirtten out synthesis if you want, so we can then dissect it (chemically) and come up with ideas on how to seperate it from meth again (dissolve, seperate [maybe add some drying agent], recrystallize) and so on
While I personally think n-isopropybenzylamine is not nearly as "toxic" as some people love to claim in posts blowing the problem waaaay out of proportion (since n-isopropylbenzylamine isnt even mass produced anymore and cutting with it is already kinda rare) raising awareness about it or potential, psychoactive or not , effects (or even potential long term health issues that might arise) could still be deemed a worthy contribution to harm reduction on bb...

I've never in my research have seen a single peer reviewed or or official document that suggests N-iso in ss ever been found in merh or that anyone was selling it as a counterfeit drug. I could consider that there is an international conspiracy to never admit that meth is cut with it or it is sold as meth (it would be a federal crime under the analogs act, and treated the same as if it were meth, but state laws vary) Furthermore, the site "Drugs.data" a harm prevention site you can send your drugs to with $100 and a title that the sender would recognize. They used to be part of the site Erowid. They say that they have bought the standard twice and it has an easily differentiated gc/ms profile, and they've never encountered it. If you have any peer reviewed or legitimate government. Data that suggests it was used as an adulterant, I'd love to see it.

While I agree, that its way overstated and not common at all, here some links (both interesting as well as seemingly a proof of atleast one actual sample of meth being cut with n-iso, drug checking result from Swiss drug checking service)

I interestingly the first 2 links cite sources that are dead links on Google scholar. Meaning, either they were retracted on peer review or the dea/Google decided you don't need to see them

That's pretty strange since the evidence that n-iso is used to cut meth in different places around the world is pretty easy to find. This isespecially true in Australia were people/gtoups use it to cut the majority/completely l-meth that they sell as ICE currently in Australia.
" In 2007–2008, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) reports have shown that a compound called N‐isopropylbenzylamine (n‐(1‐methylethyl)‐benzenemethanamin, N‐ipb, Figure 1) has been used first as an adulterant or substitute for METH in seized drug samples in the United States. 13 , 14 , 15
In New Zealand, many products of ‘pure METH’ sold in the street are adulterated with at least 50% of N‐ipb. 17 Additionally, drug dealers in China have sold N‐ipb as fake ‘Ice’ METH in many recorded cases. Although N‐ipb is a border controlled substance in Australia, it is not currently known as a controlled substance in other countries."

"Over the course of the next month the origins and links between multiple consignments seized by the ABF were reviewed and found to contain border controlled substances, including eight kilograms of isopropylbenzylamine (a methamphetamine analogue) and quantities of heroin, cocaine and other drugs from various source countries"

Im not australian but "heraldsun" kinda sounds like its a tabloid. Either way, Im 99% sure that for the most part "crime gangs" dont product n-iso themselves, but import(ed!!) it from china. N-iso was extremely cheap in china until a few months ago and was mass imported in the 10s to 100dreds of kg ranges for so cheap it was basically free. N-iso was outlawed in china and the supply aprubtly stopped. It doesnt imitate meth really, it just looks like it, but DEADLY or POTENT and DANGEROUS? oh come on, its non of these 3 things, yes there isnt alot of toxicological data, but lets be real, n-iso isnt "potent" at all and in normal doses wont kill you either. Dangerous hm maybe in the sense of its long term toxicological effects being unkown, but at the same time: if youre smoking meth, n-iso is prolly the least damaging compound you ingest... cheap it was tho, very very fucking cheap.
This is exactly what I ment. A prime example of blowing shit out of proportion. I strongly believe that this phenomenon will vanish as fast as it came. without new supply, no new n-iso (and Id be surprised if cartels/gangs really startet synthesizing an basically worthless and almost inactive structural isomer of meth, like they dont mass produce benzocain themselves either, they bought it, then it got known, so they switched to lidocain, then procain and so on. Its just not worth anyones time to manufacture a cutting agent in a clandestine lab imo, in the time used to produce it, one coudlve made enough meth to counterbalance potentially slimmed down profit margins after they had to stop cutting their product)

I honestly was convinced of the same thing for years, but drugs,data, in the US says they hardly ever saw it, like 3 times and One can say the chinese were advertising the shit out of it, but you cant say with any authority that they were selling the shit out of it. It's like using ebay to price an item. Sure they were asking $500 for it, but did they sell it for $500? Did they sell it at all. You'll be shocked when you start checking references ina lot of peer reviewed journals, the references are fake, they don't make the claim the author citing it says they do, they misquite the source. It's wide spread and an known issue. I publish something today showing a link between stevia and homosexuality and people cite it and quote it for 2 years before its rejected, but they don't put up a neon sign that says it was rejected, its in tiny print in the index of a journal 2 years later. I couldn't find any legitimate evidence it was used in abundance in the US (then again we are land-locked to Mexico, so the shit is dirt cheap. I tried to sell some for $125/ounce and people laughed because you can buy it all day for $125/ounce if you know somebody. I know a guy in Arizona selling it for $100/ounce
It doesn't appear as if it made a difference in appearance. I sent some cold dry acetone through my meth packed tube, less than 2ml for 3g, and a little extra to rinse it off. 3g turned into 2.3g dry after the wash. Noticable observations during the first bowl with washed tina include a noticably less yellow-ish / square pattern to the crackback and progression of smoking it - it is much more bright and clear. It still cools into the non-homogenous crust but the pattern is much less pronounced.

I got some meth a couple of weeks ago that didn't test positive for amphetamines via marquis reagent, so I climbed in that rabbit hole and at the bottom appeared to be PABA, a crystalline substance that they sell at GNC and the like, it's closer to meth in looks and melting point than MSM. I suspect it is the new msm, harder to detect, but just as easy to buy.
