Default What are you paying for meth?

Is it me or does meth seem really expenssive lately? Did the price just go up or something? I bought 5gal yesterday and the total was $23.75. WTF? That's like $4.75/gal. I'm wondering if I got ripped off or if its a regional thing or if wood is scarce now.

It's been a few months but the last that I bought was $2.50 a gallon. I bought it from a guy that builds stock car and sprint car engines.

Unless it's gone WAY up since late spring/early summer, you guys need to stock up on it when you come through Kentucky.

Yeah I did a google of how to make meth here at work because I was curious, but my dumbass didn't type methanol, so naturally it got flagged by MIS.
We have a huge meth problem here in Tucson so they must have been watching me.

It actually seems easy enough to make, just messy and caustic. You basically heat wood chips up to the point where they vaporize and then you capture the gas in a tube and just let it cool and condense into methanol liquid. I don't see why the price has gone up so much. Wood is still cheap.

I know I get wood for free..






Oh wait, I am married its not free, there are hidden costs.. Ahh who the hell am I kidding the costs arent hidden..


I guess its time for someone to make a METHANOL lab, or building, or factory or whatever you would call it.

lucky for us up here in canada, I work in the oil patch so I just fill up a couple tanks for free when I'm on a location, there's usually a couple 500 gallon drums within a mile radius everywhere..
