Do you think meth is synthetic?

exactly, i know codemeister proved a legit point, but the fact remains that the meth that people use is cooked with numerous chemicals

 

I hope you are not calling me ignorant...

Yeah, meth can be a bad drug. But now I have something to hold against people who say "I only use stuff that comes from the earth", which I know a lot of.

Unlike most people, I don't think meth is bad. It is just a drug. The reason I am saying though is to make people understand that a 'synthetic drug' is just the same as a natural drug. They are all drugs. The end.

And yeah, plants make way more than the active ingredient. I see how that is not good for you.

 

Yeah, but so are pharmaceutical drugs. There is no way you can make a true 100% product. I would venture to say that there are many more by-products in natural drugs than in man made ones.

One thing I think people don't understand is that you HAVE to have strong bases (lye, a type of draino is a common one) and acids (muratic acid, common) to conduct chemical reactions! The chems they use in professional labs are just as (if not more) dangerous as 'draino' (which is make professionally). It just so happens that a 96% lye mixture is extremely basic and common, so people use it instead of more expensive chems that are harder to get.

I hear so many people complain that there is bad by product in meth. "Man, that meth is made with concrete cleaner! You are doing concrete cleaner!". When in actuality they use muratic acid (HCL acid, concrete cleaner) to make most pharms into thier HCL form...

 

There isnt a usable amount of any amphetamines. Trace amounts means that you could never get a usable extraction, its like 100 parts per billion or something, plus youd have to seperate out like 30 other alkaloids. And it wouldnt be any safer, anyways, its still the same chemical.

 

I think differentiating between synthetic and organic is stupid to begin with. What difference does it make? There's safe synthetic drugs and dangerous organic drugs, that has nothing to do with anything. Besides, how do you even draw the line? Can something be semi-synthetic (technically it can, but do you think so I'm asking)? If so, how? Shouldn't it be all or nothing?

It's a dumb distinction, period.

 

So why did you bring up an old as shit thread? Especially to say negative stuff like that? You know thats going to start this thread up again. OBVIOUSLY I cared enough to post about it, so its not 'dumb'. Sorry its not up to your standards.

Some people think organic drugs are better than synthetic drugs. If you read the posts then you might know that I am not one of those people. Now you have the reason I wrote the thread, if you read it. So, yeah obviously I think it should be all or nothing.

No offense, but do you know what a troll is? If not, I suggest you look it up to know what it is your doing.

 

I think deafrabbit was agreeing with you, not trolling you

 

well, people synthesize it, it's not naturally occurring...so its synthetic.

meth is a chemical...it in and of itself can't be called evil because it is inanimate. it is a very addictive drug that makes people do stupid/fucked up things and it can ruin your life.

what's the point of this thread?

 

The point was that the difference between a synthetic and a natural drug that a lot of people make is really all in their head, and theres no validity whatsoever. Its called Fallacy of Natural Preference. Besides, humans are natural, so anything we create with natural resources (everything) is a product of the Earth itself.

 

Did you even read the thread? It is naturally occouring. Just not normally.

 

Shermin man, common. Please read the thread.

Norcali took the words right out of my mouth. Word for word.
