Blue Crystal Meth is a type of crystal methamphetamine with a unique blue color, as opposed to traditional crystal meth, which is usually clear and has a slight yellow tint.
It is an extremely pure form of meth, much more so than most street-quality products, and is free from many of the impurities found in ‘pre-cut’ methamphetamine.
Because of its purity, blue meth can only be produced in an extremely clean and high-quality meth lab, which makes it difficult to produce, since most meth labs are simple and domestic.
How To Make Blue Crystal Meth
Traditional crystal meth is a mixture of over-the-counter drugs. Including pseudoephedrine, which is a decongestant in medications such as Sudafed.
By making a reduction of pseudoephedrine or ephedrine with battery acid or ammonia. A certain isomer d-methamphetamine isomer is the product.
Users prefer this over the l-methamphetamine isomer because of its purity and superior high-production qualities.
To circumvent the necessity of pseudoephedrine. A different method to combine phenylacetone (P2P) with methylamine, producing a 99.1% pure meth product.
Where Blue Crystal Meth Comes From
As real-life interest began to take hold in the drug. Methamphetamine use levels skyrocketed due to budding superlabs in Kansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.
In other instances, the nickname ‘smurf’ with a blue dye to avoid detection in drug tests. As field tests generally turn blue when discovering meth.
Since blue meth is already blue, it complicates the accuracy of the field test. But is unlikely to get anybody off the hook for meth possession.
Why People Use Blue Crystal Meth
The popularity of Breaking Bad enticed many people to try the drug. Generally deeming it ‘sexy’ and ‘fun’. Which drug producers immediately latched on to, and began to create in earnest.
