Default Naphtha, bad news, good news

If the rumor is true (naphtha as drug precursor), it
will likely become restricted across the nation as it
has in California.


Instructions for extracting from "honey" (freebase methamphetamine in an
acidic solution):

"Geez extracts with VM&P naptha most of the time, and always does at least
one wash with hot naptha. Washing the reaction fluid with the solvent used
to extract will remove anything in the fluid that is soluble in that
solvent, which means it will not be in the fluid to be extracted with the
meth. This logically translates to cleaner meth. If you plan to "ker
plunk" -- or extract with hot naptha, Coleman's fuel, or equivalent-- wash
with hot naptha, Coleman's fuel, or equivalent at least one time."


Laws have a way of becoming more restrictive and
ubiquitous over time, not less so.

I wish I had known about the restricted availability
and spike in prices for materials I use in my metal-
working hobby in advance. I'd have 'stocked up'.

Thassall I was saying.
