Secrets of Methamphetamine Manufacture: Including Recipes for MDA, Ecstasy, and Other Psychedelic Amphetamines
A revised and expanded edition of one of our best-selling "cookbooks". "So much has changed since the Third Edition, that this is almost an entity new book", say Uncle Fester. The result of a decade of practical experience, this is a step-by-step how-to-do-it book on the manufacture of methamphetamine and psychedelic amphetamines. This book is not meant to encourage anyone to break the law, but it does joint out the ultimate futility of government prohibitions of "controlled substances" by showing just how easily these substances can be manufactured. Covers methamphetamine, methcathinone ("cat"), and much more.

Only Fester, Clandestine Chemist can show you. Went through 8th edition, include European Variation, by Geert Hendricks and Russian Advance but no 'Shake and Bake' discussed.

Earlier editions of this work correctly get a lot of shit from knowledgeable reviewers (see Erowid and the other usual suspects), but by the eighth try, Fester (Steve Preisler) has locked everything down pretty well. Given his background in biochemistry (and clear willingness to involve some hand-dirtying work, as seen in Practical LSD Manufacture's chapter on infecting rye and harvesting the result for extraction of ergotamine), I'm surprised he doesn't cover the work this century regarding production of l-PAC (right stereoisomer of phenylacetylcarbinol, trivially taken to ephedrine, and then stepped up in a bit of fourth-grade chloro+catalytic hydrogenation to your friend and mine) via benzaldehyde's bioconversion among Torulaspora delbrueckii, but who knows.
(or so i'm told by a friend)

The book is decent. It has 8 editions and none of them have subtracted any content, so it’s unnecessarily long. Most of it is already outdated, as precursors have been prohibited or the means have become outrageously expensive.
If you want a somewhat viable option, check out the chapters on oxidating toluene to benzaldehyde, brewing or cooking your own ephedrine and converting that to your favorite molecule (toluene - benzaldehyde - L-PAC - ephedrine - mæth). I don’t quite remember but I think the last step could be done with zinc powder or smth cheap.
I’ve also seen the chemistry of the book be strongly criticized on Erowid and Reddit. I would have no idea as I’m a complete ignorant on the matter, so just watch out. In any case I think the book is good if you want to go from zero knowledge to some. Also keep in mind all this shit is toxic and dirty.
As I said, decent book.

Hillitöntä ja hauskaa sekoilua Loompanicsin hengessä (kustantaja). Toivottavasti kukaan ei ottanut kirjaa vakavasti ja yrittänyt perustaa tehdasta autotalliin :D :D :D
