    Default Would you do it?

    Imagine you are broke, unemployed, going mad at home (I mean literally insane!), have a good degree in science and are more than capable of producing high purity illegal compounds (drugs mostly).
    Would you make them, if it meant you could move out of home, and live comfortably?
    Feedback would be very much appreciated. I am very seriously considering doing this.

    Considering the criminal justice system in Ireland and the UK would probably give you more time in prison for making and distributing drugs than they would for going out and robbing a bank it's probably not going to be worth it. You have a science degree, a good one so you say I would be more interested in applying to any position worldwide in a pharmeutical company lab somewhere who knows maybe if you apply for those you might even get to move abroad to somewhere interesting. Ofcourse if you fancy spending xx many years in prison if and when you are caught go ahead.

    Please explain to me your plan for acquiring ingredients for narcotics without being caught and I will sign your guild charter.

    Until then you will make more money being an intern at an actuary.

    I have been applying for jobs for 2 years and not so much as a ripple in the proverbial pond. I have an MSc in analytical chemistry and a Degree in Forensics. Because of the forensics, I am not so worried about the justice system here as I know the ins and outs of the system. Not to mention, I have had advanced training in evidence retrieval (so evidence destruction is easy to do). But should I do it for a short term solution?

    I doubt you even have the proper ingredients around to produce the illegal drugs you may be planning to make if you strongly consider doing this. That said, I would have to answer your question with a strong no because of the risks involved. The rewards of doing this isn't great if I don't know the proper people involved with this.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    I wouldn't do it. I would work my ass off as a waiter or something.

    All the ingredients required to make Methylenedioxymethamphetamine are readily available by order over the internet and fo order in a number of widely available shops. The only difficult objects to obtain are the glassware needed for synthesis, reflux, cooling, condensing and collection not to mention hot plates and analytical balances but all are easily obtained at a reasonable cost.

    If it were something like weed, I'd say go for it. But anything else... eh. Too risky.

    Actually I was considering enhancing cannabis. By synthesising THC which is perfectly legal and adding it to the cannabis, it would enhance the high several fold. But I don't know where I would get the Gallic acid I'd need for synthesis.

    I wouldn't condone making anything that could explode on you. I don't really know what it takes to make most drugs though. I know a few people who make their living off growing weed though, so I say go for it.

    Also I don't is scared of you. So you will not be a menacing enough debt collector.

    Yes. It worked for Walter, it can work for you.

    Though regardless of the amount of knowledge you have of the system, and the idea that you have to destroy whatever evidence you can to make it impossible for you to track, you will still get caught because you have left a digital footprint with this thread. Congratulations.

    I would join the army. I know this because that is exactly what I did when faced with the situation of being bored at home to the point of going mad without much hope of a good job when it would have been entirely too easy to continue and prosper in the drug subculture.

    Synthetically created THC itself is still legal in many areas, so why not make that instead? I'm sure there's some stipulation for selling and making it without a license, but it would almost certainly be less than being caught for operating a meth lab.

    There's also the risks of the distribution network and the contacts you make. Anyone you sell it to is a potential risk. None of that says, "Good idea." to me.

    Unfortunatley THC on its own won't make you high. It is a combination of various canabinoids in cannabis that crate the High effect!
