I agree. I learned that everyone wants to make Kgs of meth when get the thought only to realize "Oh shit it's actually not as cheap as I thought especially since I have no idea what I'm even trying to do and have to utilize procedures 3× more expensive just because I find the best one to be too complex".
People often ignore vessel size as well only to realize that "Oh shit if I want to make this and that amount I need 20 L+ flasks which cost 4-10× that of the 1L variant." a bonus one is "Oh shit even if I have the flask I need a 20 L heating mantle which also costs as much".
Not to say this is impossible. There are people who have done it, perhaps I may have done it myself?? Who knows
... Anyways, just saying that 99.9% of people literally don't have the resources to do this and most likely never will.
What I mean is they all think they will make a kg of amphetamines on their first pull but in actuality no such lab exists without first making small amounts and selling those. Seriously you either have the money to do something like this but you're too old with no knowledge or to even enjoy the drugs that you make or you don't have the money (since believe it or not you need to eat/drink, pay utility bills, your car...) yk. So you start with small amounts and slowly climb to the very top. But without money there is no lab. And when there is no lab? There is no product. It's that simple people
