The Process:
The process for the Red White and Blue method means that equipment is
gonna have to be used. The cooks use these things plus all the
ingredients that i told about earlier.
- 3 Plastic jars with lids
- Coffee filters
- Eyedropper
- Glass dish
- Funnel
Now to start off they take those Sudafed pills and do what they call
wash them in the ether. Because you know you dont want that dangerous
red color in your crank! haha
They they crush up the pills and and put them into one of the jars so
their like a powder. They put the methanol in there and shake it real
hard and the length of time depends on who you ask but around twenty
minutes sounds like what most of them say more or less. Then they leave
it to settle and separate out which means that the psudeoephedrine part
floats on the top and the wax and other crap in the pills goes to the
bottom.
Then they put one of those coffee filters into a funnel and hold the
funnel over the glass dish and they pour the seperated mixture with
psudoephedrine into the glass dish but they say you got to be real
careful so you just get the psuedoephedrine and not the other stuff
into the glass dish. Of course thats got the alcohol from the methanol
in there so you got to find a way to heat it that will burn off the
alcohol but remember you cant see it burning. Some of them use an oven
and some say a hairdryer. Obviously the fumes from this are gonna make
you sick so they wear those painters masks over their mouth and nose.
Once they got the pseudoepehdrine all by itself they add it to another
jar where theyve got iodine and red phosphorous and hydrochloric acid.
They screw the lid on and shake the hell out of it for half an hour
then leave it sit for another half an hour. Then they open it back up
try not to breath the fumes and add in the sodium hydroxide. Now they
leave the lid off and shake it gentle trying to swirl it until it gets
cloudy looking which means the chemicals are reacting off each other.
Then they add in ether and screw the lid back on so they can shake it
for another 10 minutes. After that they leave it set for another 5 mins
and then look for a middle layer in the jar. Theyll sit there tapping
at it to get the middle layer as thin as possible which is what they
want.
After that they go in with the eyedropped and start taking the middle
layer off bit by bit but make sure you unscrewed the lid of the jar or
this will be real hard to do! hahaha They want the whole top layer
without getting any of the bottom layer because they throw that layer
away and just keep the top. Then they fill up the third jar with water
about half way and drop in 10 drops of hyrdrochloric acid to it. They
they pour that top layer they sat there taking out with the eyedropper
and put the lid on it. They shake that jar for another 10 minutes
before they start using the eyedropper again to take off the top layer
and throw that away.
The bottom layer is what they want to keep and they evaporate it by
heating which leaves behind crystals and those are the crank meth
they're cooking for. Simple as that so they say and some people will
call this the cold cook method.
Remember that all the stuff they just used to make the crank cant be
left where cops will find it because even if they did it wrong you
still go to jail for having the ingredients and trying to put them
together even if you didnt make the meth the right way.
