Is potassium aluminum sulfate an additive of methamphetamine hydrochloride?
Yes, many substances are known to be added to methamphetamine in the late manufacturing stages as "cut" to increase the weight and volume of the illicit product and thereby increase the profits of the manufacturer and/or drug dealers. Substances that crystalize and have similar appearance and properties as methamphetamine are frequently used to cut (dilute) the illicit product, including alum crystals (aluminum sulfate) and MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) (a popular home remedy and dietary supplement sold in health food stores). These additives or adulterants are highly toxic when mixed with meth and smoked. Alum is also toxic when ingested orally, caustic to the skin, mucous membranes, eyes, digestive system, and respiratory system. The purity of meth sold on the street has decreased dramatically over the past decade in response to greater government regulation of chemicals used in meth manufacture. As a result, the meth sold in the US contains much more toxic adulterants than it did a few years ago. For more information, see PBS Frontline: The Meth Epidemic, May 2011.
What is in methamphetamine?
Besides the active ingredient , there are other chemicals and substances in meth that are there by accident and are added on purpose. Accidental adulterants such as ammonium hydroxide, lithium oxides, muriatic acid, and unevaporated solvents will almost always constitute a very small percentage of trace compounds. Most of these adulterants are very poisonous. In addition, unreduced ephedrine and pseudoephedrine and compounds produced with over-reduction constitute a small percentage of accidental adulterants. Also, many manufacturers and dealers will purposely put other chemicals and substances into the drug to make it heavier or look bigger so that they can make more money or so that the drug will have a better 'rush'. Examples include baking soda, flour, powdered sugar, caffeine and cocaine. In other words, meth is like a box of chocolates: you NEVER know what you're going to get!!
