Crystallized methamphetamine can be produced using various solvents, but the most common solvent used is methanol. Depending on how the methamphetamine was produced or if it was “cut”, the methamphetamine may need to be “washed.” The washing process will reduce the amount of by-products, contaminants, and other compounds that may be mixed in with the methamphetamine. Any solvent which will not dissolve methamphetamine, but will dissolve most other compounds is ideal for washing. Acetone is a good choice in this case because it is cheap, easy to obtain, and will not dissolve methamphetamine. Therefore, acetone is commonly used to wash methamphetamine before beginning the crystallization process.
To crystallize methamphetamine, the methamphetamine is added to a solvent such as methanol. Other alcohols and even water will also work. After the methamphetamine powder is dissolved in the solvent, the solvent is allowed to slowly dry. This can be done by leaving the solvent containing methamphetamine open and allowed to evaporate.
