Hi,
Just regged here because i am starting a little grow soon
I noticed this chemistry thread and since my uncle is a bit of a garage chemist himself ...
I just want to say that it took him maybe all in all 3 years to figure and work it all out but he managed to synth
MDA in his kitchen

Everything he used is o.t.c (over the counter) if you know where to look.
Even piperonal
(it has many legit applications and can be extracted and purified from otc products ! )
He said he could have made MDMA instead but where he lives it's everywhere and cheap.
Note: I'm not suggesting that it is easy to make MDA or MDMA yourself but if you are determined enough it is still possible!
