All of the stuff Bozenko analyzed was made from ephedrine, a natural substance commonly found in decongestants and derived from the ephedra plant, which was used for millennia as a stimulant and an anti-asthmatic.
Large quantities of it were coming up out of Mexico, where traffickers had industrialized production, and into the American Southwest.
Meth was the drug that Bozenko analyzed most in the early years of his job. He saw the world through the protective goggles of a hazmat suit, sifting through the remains of illegal labs in three dozen countries.
His first foreign assignment was at a lab that had made the stimulant MDMA in Jakarta, Indonesia. In time, Bozenko began traveling abroad to clandestine labs after they’d been seized. He analyzed what they produced and worked out how they did it. Bozenko’s job was to understand the thinking of black-market chemists, samples of whose work were regularly plopped on his desk. “Chemist by day, chemist by night,” his Twitter bio once read.īozenko had joined the DEA seven years earlier, just as the global underworld was veering toward synthetic drugs and away from their plant-based cousins. Bozenko, a garrulous man with a wide smile, worked in the DEA lab during the day and taught chemistry at a local university in the evenings. The field seems to breed folks whose every waking minute is spent puzzling over chemical reactions. Organic chemistry can be endlessly manipulated, with compounds that, like Lego bricks, can be used to build almost anything. I guess epsom bath salts can be used to cut meth, unless you are referring to bath salts which is not in crystal form and is powder and a shitty fuck drug.Check out more from this issue and find your next story to read. I've had some clear glass crystals that looked the same as the other batch from someone else, but even after 9 hits i didn't get as high as i did off 4 from the other one. I know i have pretty good meth if i reach that point where my face is literally tingling everywhere along with my head and arms. I watched a documentary that a lot of the meth that comes into our country from Mexico (especially on the west coast) Is cut 50% Immediately.
Usually they are better than the powdery or clumpy/cloudy kind but it varies. Now i read in australia their "ice" can get upto 90% pure and if your lucky enough to get meth even 70% or above you really won't need much more than a few hits even as a tolerant user to "feel" the effects.Īlso people are always thinking because they have "clear/transparent" glass looking shards that it's 100% pure, but that's not really true. A lot of users that have "high" quality meth is usually 50% meth, sometimes a little more. Meth can be cut with a bunch of different shit, since it's typically rare you will get like 90-95% meth.
