How much pseudoephedrine does it take to make methamphetamine?
Q. I don't care how it is made. But isn't it a pain to buy allgery medicine nowadays. The Patriot Act signed by President Bush on March 9, 2006, prohibits the sale of more than 9 grams of pseudoephedrine in a month. Plus you have to sign and show picture ID. Is anybody else finding this a royal pain in the a$$. I have respiratory allergies, so does my girlfriend and her two children. We have to alternate buying the allergy medicine so we do not go over the 9 gram limit. Now the meth problem in the United States is affecting normal every day people who just have allgeries. Your Thoughts?? Can you really make Methamphetamine from one box of Claritin D?

A. I too have allergy problems BUT I have also worked in public safety and know some of the problems faced by law enforcement with this. People buying this stuff and cooking meth is happening everywhere. The by-products are dumped and can cause serious health problems. Like leaking into the soil and then into streams and wells. And cops who bust the lab, have developed serious health problems. Its sad, that some people will try to abuse anything. And to try to prevent this abuse, the rest of us have to change our lifestyles. And yes, you can make a small batch with a box.

Is the whole proses of making methamphetamine just removing oxygen for pseudoephedrine?
Q. if not then what else needs to be done? no yes, or no answers, explain your answer.
Asked by Matt - Thu Oct 1 19:22:51 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Not quite. Although the reduction of pseudoephedrine will result in the manufacture of methamphetamine, it is usually achieved by hydrogenation of the hydroxyl group on the pseudoephedrine molecule. It then needs to be extracted and purified. This step requires the use of dangerous solvents. The chemistry is quite simple, however there are risks associated with the manufacture of meth, such as the release of poison gas during the reduction stage and the strong possibility of explosion.

Will John Q. Law become suspicious if I buy a lot of pseudoephedrine?
Q. I have pretty bad allergies, and pseudoephedrine seems to be a lot more effective for me than phenylephrine. I go through like two boxes of 48 capsules in a month, which is within the legal limit (I think the limit is 7.5 grams of pseudo per month per individual, which would equate to about 250 capsules). So my question is: does the DEA ever launch investigations or anything like that against people for buying regular amounts of pseudo, even if they're within the legal limit?

A. YES! Be very carefull. My wife who, like you has allergys, has found that claritin D is the best thing for her. Just last week, she got a letter saying she had a warrant for pharmacy pseudoephedrine sales restriction. She went to get rid of the warrant and she had bought 4 too many pills and had gone over the legal amount in January. She now has court in one month and where we live it has a max. of 350 dollar fine and 1 year in jail. Thats pretty scary when all she was doing is taking allergy medicine. Needless to say she has a doctor's apt. in one week to get a RX.
