"Seems like there's a lot of irony in psychopharmacology. People who take opiods are crippled by pain, people who take benzos are overhelmed by anxiety and insomnia and people who take stimulants are tired and unmotivated." -Hamilton

[@jellyfishbones0]

and perhaps the reverse is true. People who take pain (in physical exercise) end up strong, people who take anxiety (from a philosophy like stoicism) end up with inner peace, people who take on being tired (and push on despite how they feel) end up with a drive they can use as they need to.

@4:40 Hamilton makes a great point which goes to the core of substance abuse. When someone takes a drug to eleviate a symptom, the symptom will always come back and sometimes even stronger than before (rebound pain, anxiety etc.) which causes a continuous need for more drugs to hold back that symptom.

[@TheNewb187]

all the time stronger....and now that u can end it for however long by doing drugs its never like the first time that got u hooked, and u have a harder time fighting it.

[@kidsgrowingup]

i'm not so sure if that's the point he's making. when framed how you've put it, i see validity in what you're saying. but in the world around me i don't see that being a working model for substance abuse or dependence/addiction.

[@jegr3398]

So ultimately you have to fix the root problem

[@kidsgrowingup]

@@jegr3398 logically that would be the solution. but there's not much that's logical when it comes to addiction. I could say a lot of things about drugs and drug addiction and about the culture of "recovery and rehabilitation." But I think the most important thing, the thing that is most worth sharing is that education on drugs and drug use and addiction is something that is blatantly ignored and yet it's so fucking vital. I could rephrase that to further say that education in its entirety appears to be on the decline in the u.s. right now. Culturally we don't value intelligence and we don't have inspiration to drive the pursuit of knowledge. In high school more than half of my teachers were not only terrible teachers but about half of those were shitty people as well. I'm beyond grateful for the good teachers that I had classes with. Ive met a lot of very fuckin intelligent people who struggle with drug addiction, but I have also met some people who are pretty fucking dumb and uneducated who struggle with drug addiction as well, and those are the people who always seem to have it the worst by far. They get taken advantage of the most and I can't recall knowing anyone in that kind of situation/circumstance that was able to rebound and start moving towards a better life. Always seems to be a free fall until it's not for them.

[@mmmuuuuuuuuiiiiiiiiirrrrr]

I knew a guy named Ray who blew himself up cooking meth. He wasn't a really bad guy. It was very sad. He was actually a Jim Beam & Coca-Cola guy. He was going through a devastating divorce, and he was always kind of fragile to begin with. This other fellow, Chris, latched onto Ray while Ray was in an emotionally weak place, but still had his nice, big, empty house and plenty of money and time with his wife and kids being gone. Ray was VERY occasionally using meth, along with a few friends, at this time. (This was back in the days of occasional meth use, for real.) This sorry, sorry, Chris guy started flopping on Ray's couch, bc Ray had too good a heart. Eventually, somehow, he talked our good ol boy, Ray, into cooking up some bathtub meth recipe, for themselves. Soon enough, there was an incident. Ray's lungs were burned, inside, and his eyelids were burned off. He lived for a couple more years, then the severe chemical and lung damage made him sick again and he died.

[@AHD2105]

That's very sad. That stupid series 'Breaking Bad', I think it was called, probably increased cases of good guys crossing the line. Either way if you never blow yourself up, it would soon end bad. Greed and paranoia, or addiction or murder or some other awful outcome.

[@ChrisM-bn5vr]

@@AHD2105 Breaking Bad isn't stupid, it's the greatest and most critically acclaimed television show ever made. If you don't like it you have terrible taste in television. Also I highly doubt it's convinced people to cook meth, if someone decided to cook meth they were already criminals and meth users in the first place, I doubt the show had anything to do with it. Also cooking meth isn't a popular thing anymore, the Mexican Cartels make all the meth in superlabs and ship it across the border. It's so cheap and plentiful there's no point in cooking it anymore, it's also much harder to get the pills needed to cook it.

He failed to do that. This is a common way to produce meth been around for like 20 years.

[@justinhayes2194]

@@alberteinstein3078 oh I know how to shake n' bake too, it just didn't look like that guy knew what he was doing whatsoever. It looked like he was shaking, making gas and trying to make phosphorus? All which are 3 different methods that done together do absolutely nothing..lol. it was just very comical whatever he was doing.

[@alberteinstein3078]

@@justinhayes2194 Agreed he was all over the place plus they mix up the process during filming to stop people from copying so that could have contributed to the confusion. It was hard to watch. I cooked hypo-phosphorus not to many people know this method not "red phosphorus" but I have cooked several different ways. I love the chemistry but hate the drug. I have been clean for 10 years now.

Bring back Hamilton episodes hes the one that made me love vice

[@jaimeortega4940]

A Pharmacopeia first fail home brew synthesis. In all honesty though this weird meth synthesis was destined to fail. The guy looked like he was trying to hybridize the AMMONICARB with Shake N Bake methods while spun out on meth. Probably neither a wise nor safe move. I was worried about both of you when he placed the fire extinguisher on the stove as he could neither see the progression or fail of the synthesis and that the extinguisher might blow up like a bomb.

I doubt the cheap Walmart fire extinguisher he used was stainless steel. The metal itself could have reacted or inhibited the reaction.

he didnt he failed in making it, Hamilton explains this.

[@jaxturner7288]

That same assumption and level of gullibility is what allowed you to claim that you just witnessed something that didn’t even happen in this video. That would go to show how many people you have actually seen do it. This was a complete failure and yet you believed and clame you had just witnessed someone accomplish something, when no such thing was actually done. So even if you really believed you have seen it done before in the past…. Obviously it doesn’t take much of a show for you to be faked out, and then go on to claim you have seen something done, when it actually didn’t even happen, like this situation could easily repeat itself. You might of been convinced you saw something get done, but historically, what you claim to be a witness to is not reliable.👌

I’d wager he fits in his social circle just fine with many other like minded gullible kids. It is kinda sad though, starting to wonder if all the young bucks have an iq just above brain dead. 😔

[@DUKEHadToDoItToEm]

It's pretty unbelievable that he failed, I met someone 5 years back who claimed they could make it in Gatorade bottles while in a moving vehicle no problem, said it was easy no brain stuff to do. Said "if you can follow instructions to make hamburger helper then you could follow the instructions to cook", and that 95% of people who fail or blow themselves up are smoking it while cooking like this guy. Can't believe the camera guys stayed after he started doing that, I'd have left at that point

The synthesis processes that we use are much better than this disgusting synthesis because of lithium and ammonia. We use other chemicals. Methamphetamine has several methods. I prefer cooking meth. It is interesting and enjoyable with a lot of chemicals. I cook in my laboratory, but I lack a beautiful girl who accompanied me on the cooking trip.

​@@WaelG-bp9xhBrother, I am from Iran, can you tell us the recipe

[@hjv7121]

I thought for sure the reason he was using the fire extinguisher was because he could remove that downstem inside and then just squeeze the trigger a little bit whenever he wanted to “release some of the gas and smell it to see if it is making ammonia at all” but instead it didn’t seem like he used the fire extinguisher in any way to justify it’s use over pretty much any other container 😂

[@fredd3.14]

the fire extinguisher holds certain pressure required for the chemistry to work. i mean it is built to withstand those pressures and is the cheapest solution that works for its purpose. i don't know exactly but probably makes reaching some boiling point of a molecule easier as you need less heat under high pressure.. or the high pressure interacts with some reaction in other ways. not a chemist, but that's why you can't use any other container :)

[@joefox9765]

you have to let some oxygen in for the electrophile reaction. putting the mixture in a fire extinguisher canister killed the reaction. also you need to release gas at times. also you need to shake it. this was the craziest episode one may be able to save such batch if you re-heat it and add more lithium in a more controlled environment. some of it anyway. add more acid first. don't try this at home(use your friends home : )
