The Construction And Operation Of Clandestine Drug Laboratories (2nd Ed: 85178)

E-Book Overview

I bought this book (and will buy many others on similar subjects) becuase of a self righteous book burner on this sight reviewing another book. She doesn't want anyone to learn how to make drugs and explosives. So in response Im going to read as much of it as I can get my hands on. HA! Suck it, up. This book, for what it is, is good. Well written and decently illustrated. It shows how to make a few peices of lab ware, key notes and tips on lab hiding and operation. It's really just a book of cliff notes, tips hints and precautions. No real chemistry at all. Make a seperatory funnel, fume hood, and my favorite... the ram proof door. That is a good idea... but if I might add... you could always hide the whole apparatus by hiding the auto springs inside the door. Any way... the author even says that the book is just a list of ideas and warnings. Worth reading though...something for everyone. As he says, a lab can be made for survival, resistance or medical reasons as well. I think the author is genuine, sincere and dang well concerned with the well being of others... makers, users and enforcers. He's got my support.

E-Book Content

The Construction And Operation of Clandestine Drug Laboratories Editor & Transcriber’s Introduction. This is not an exact copy of the original. Some spellings have been corrected & changed to the British. Many sentences have been completely changed (with the meaning staying the same). Some bits may even have been added. 95% of the original book is still here. Experimenters should also check out articles from old Scientific American about home-made apparatus (there is a CD compilation of them available) and the Journal of Chemical Education has many excellent articles on money saving devices for chemistry. Always use borosilicate glassware or plastic containers if you are using heat, soda-glass isn’t worth the risk. Beware of using glass-ware with ‘flaws’ in it (you’re likely to get some of these if you buy second-hand). Get the “Chemical Technician’s Ready Reference Handbook” by Shugar & Ballinger [Pub. McGraw Hill] and/or “The Laboratory Companion”, by Coyne [Pub. Wiley.]. Go to college and study chemistry. It goes without saying that this book is well out-ofdate.
