Stick it in one of those e-cig vaporizer things.  not the ones for liquids. 

From what I've seen, once SnB topics start hitting a forum, most, if not all, people there who actually know a thing or two about chemistry start leaving/ being very withheld.  They can see the level of education in the forum has gone from knowledgeable discussion to "How can I makez my own meth so I can get uber high n rich"  I know this is not a SnB thread, but it is a substantial indicator of the forum's actual chemistry knowledge level.  I'm not a rhodium or anything, but I have enough knowledge to know this method is doomed to fail.

A prime example of the knowledge level of SnB'ers is all their references to how SnB is the nazi method.  ANY SnB post referencing nazi's should be disregarded.  The birch reduction reaction wasn't even discovered until 1944, and was reported by Arthur Birch who was working at the University of Oxford at the time.  As anyone who cites nazi's knows, (or in this case probably doesn't), Germany and England weren't getting along real well in 1944 and probably weren't swapping science notes until after the war was over.  Just to finish off this nazi SnB non-sense, the original report utilized sodium as the original dissolved alkali metal, not lithium(I've never seen a shake n bake that doesn't use lithium batteries).

While I know this is chemistry and not history, I think anyone attempting a Birch should have the knowledge level to understand that the original Nazis didn't have shit to birch reductions, let alone SnB's, and if they can't figure that out, then they probably shouldn't be cooking dope.

Something about that 2nd carbon on the propane chain in the end product being chiral makes me think this method isn't worth a flying fuck.  L's are bad, D's are good.

Nuff said

OP, your story sounds extremely similar to the start of my 3 year addicton to various phenylethylamines (amphetamine type drugs).  I'm on my phone now and don't feel like writing the whole story here anyways, but will send you a PM when I get home.

Bout time sploo

Pretty much, you know you're getting everything at cost as the chemist, therefore always getting the best deals.  You control the quality of product on the market, volume, easy of access, etc.  You have the control, you have the power. 

That or some dealer thats already huge kidnaps you and forces you to cook for him

Web filter here at work won't let me open the link and I don't feel like booting up tor, but we were in TX.  Maybe we're one of the cooler states(doubt it though). 

I never looked into the written laws on it, but just assumed that's how they did things in my area.  I'm sure if someone overdoses and EMT and the cops show up and find like 10 kilos of heroin then someones gonna get in trouble, but for personal shit, I wouldn't expect much trouble.
