TUTORIAL: Basic MDMA "Re-crystallization"

Basic MDMA, Cocaine, Amphetamine, Methamphetamine, 2Cb and DMT "Re-crystalization"

Acetone wash whatever gear you want to re-crystalize as laid out in my previous tutorial...

Let air dry overnight...

Put washed MDMA in mason Jar... (You don't have to Acetone wash if your re-cystalizing DMT you extracted)

Add "Anhydrous" (Dry) Lab Grade Acetone at the rate of 1 Ounce per gram of MDMA...

For this tutorial lets say we have 8 grams of washed MDMA...

We would add 8 ounces of the "Dry" Acetone to it...

Make sure Acetone is "Crystal Clear" coming out of can or Bottle...if its brown at all throw it away!!!

Stir well and place mason jar in Hot Water Bath, preferably outside...

Don't do this with a gas flame anywhere near it or direct heat to the mason jar...

Heat till small bubbles form...

Add warm water drop by drop till all MDMA is dissolved...

You want to add just enough water to dissolve MDMA completely and not a drop more...

If the acetone goes clear but there is still a little powder left, stop adding water - that stuff isn't MDMA and will never dissolve...

Reduce volume of Acetone in mason jar through evaporation in the hot water bath by 3/4

For this example we started with 8 ounces Acetone so we want to reduce it to 2 ounces...

Take mason jar out of water bath and let cool...

Add 1/4 the original volume of Acetone we started with to the mason jar using "DRY" or "ANHYDROUS" Acetone ONLY...

For this example we started with 8 ounces of acetone so 1/4 of the original volume would be 2 ounces...

Stir well, add some seed crystals (about 5 milligrams) from original 8 grams of MDMA to acetone in jar...

Put in Freezer for 24 hours and watch the snowstorm begin to happen...

Filter off acetone and dry MDMA Crystals...

Chop, crush and dry for at least 24 hours although 2 to 3 days is better...

Enjoy!!!!

That sounds a bit of a pallava. The trouble with reducing the volume by three quarters is that the acetone evaporates off, but the water tends to remain.

I do recrystalizations pretty much every day of the year, they're very simple. You just need two pyrex bowls of the appropriate size, a plastic funnel, cotton wool balls and an ELECTRIC hotplate. You also need some kind of stand for the funnel, such as the cardboard box cat food sachets come in, with one side ripped off and a hole in the top for the funnel neck.

Oh, and your most-vital tool:- a plastic chop stick. They're the chemist's magic wand, and they're made out of a type of plastic which doesn't melt or dissolve. Use them for prodding, scraping, poking and stirring.

First, place a clean pyrex bowl underneath the funnel, and poke a cotton wool ball into the funnel's neck to act as a filter to remove particulates. Place your dirty MDMA into the other bowl, If you can, powder it in a coffee grinder or pestle and mortar first to help it dissolve. Cover it with twice its own depth of dry or dry-ish acetone, put the bowl on the hotplate and bring it JUST to the boil, stirring with the chopstick and crushing any big lumps with it.

Then, from a baby's feed bottle add water, dropwise with stirring to the boiling acetone. You want just enough to dissolve all the MDMA, If the acetone goes clear but there is still a little powder left, stop adding water - that stuff isn't MDMA and will never dissolve.

Don't worry, acetone can boil all day and very rarely causes a fire, but DON'T use gas or a flame or it definitely will!

Pick up the bowl (it will only be about 60 or 70C) and pour its contents into the funnel. They will filter through the cotton woll leaving a bowl of liquid underneath, which is probably already forming crystals in the acetone as it cools and the water it contains can suspend less and less MDMA in solution.

Let it cool for 10 minutes, cover it with clingfilm and place it in your freezer to maximize the MDMA crop. This also works for any amphetamine salt:- meth, 2CB, and also cocaine. These all hate acetone but love to dissolve in water, particularly hot water.

A full dual-solvent recrystalization gives much cleaner product than a simple "acetone wash", which is best performed in a baby feed bottle with a ball of cotton wool in the "teat" so you can squirt the dirty acetone out whilst retaining the cleaned product.

Solvent extractions and recrystalizations are my specialist subject. All dual-solvent re-x's have a carrier solvent like actetone, MEK, or ethyl acetate which the amphetamine doesn't dissolve in normally, and something it likes, like water, methanol or isopropyl alcohol ("Propan-2-ol" as we are supposed to call it nowadays). We add just enough water or methanol to dissolve it all, hot, in the acetone. As it colls, the amphetamine crystalizes out but the impurities tend to stay in the acetone. Black Magic usually gets 3 or 4 of these, as well as a steam distillation and an acid / base extraction.

Is there a point to recrystallization other than making it easy to sell?

This Tek also works for DMT!!!!
