You have just purchased the most complete and informative bookon recre-ational drug manufacture available. It is based upon a great deal of experienceand a tremendousamount of research. I have used easy to understand terms to aid in comprehensionof the formulasgiven and in the theory involved. I have patterned this book after what would appear to be acollege textbook or a college accredited correspondence course in illicit drug manufacturing.Please follow carefully my instructions and advice on safety, purification, andreferred to reading.If you have any questions about even seemingly trivial details, then ask someonethat knows.Call a college professor, an analytical laboratory, or one of the chemical consulting firms thatexist in metropolitan areas. Aldrich Chemical Co. has a toll free number (1-800-558-9160) thatenables you to ask the chemist on duty questions concerning what you may need toorder fromthem and what cheaper analogs you may be able to substitute in the formula thatyou areinterested in. Something that may appear to be insignificant may turn out to bethe differencebetween completing or failing a formula and this chemist on duty gets paid to answer anyquestions you may have. Do not be afraid to ask them (many other chemical suppliers have thistype of service also), but do not be a total idiot in doing this. Use common sense, read up onyour subject thoroughly and then you will sound like a legitimate operation, nota clandestinedrug lab. You will also be able to understand this person instead of having hiseducated talk goin one ear and out the other. Try not to let them realize what you're making, ifpossible, findanother use for the chemicals or reaction that is not illegal and tell them thatis what you're doing.Never give a real name or address, if possible.Always put safety and caution before time, ease, and expense. If these formulascan be carriedout by taking short cuts or by using cheaper reagents, then the scientists who invent them willexplain how to do them this way. I have a total hatred towards underground chemists who rushout impure, improperly made drugs with unclean, half-assed equipment. These peop
