also meth isn't blue

[Foogoowoman]

Wasn't the whole point that meth isn't blue and so making it blue ended up being their signature?

[pr00ch]

I think so, I think it had to do with some substitute acid they used or something. And other drug dealers used food coloring for imitation.

But I think he meant that it wouldn't be blue regardless of what they used, though I'm no chemist so I wouldn't know.

[Patrick]

in the show i think he said it was the use of methylamine and phenylacetone that made it blue. i don't think that happens if you make meth that way in real life though.

[OvB]

They made meth more industrially using methylamine like you said rather than street shit using Pseudoephedrine and other stuff. You can make meth both ways irl but they'll look the same. There are cartel run labs that mass produce meth similarly to what we saw in Breaking Bad. Almost always outside the US though. Here's one they found in the Philippines.

Aw yis, LegalEagle is a really channel (also good if you want to actually be a lawyer).

point was that holding shows to realistic standards to this degree is a farce

[Big D Duchovny]

I mean the point of these videos isn't to say "this show should be more realistic otherwise it's bad", it's more like "how realistic are these shows?". He even says it's pretty close so idk what you're on about.

He's just talkin shit really.
