Right then, so first off I would never do an extraction, I'm just too stupid and so not a chemist. So anyway my friend did an extract, hes much better looking and smarter than I... here is a rough overview of what he did and his end result.

Mats:
100g MHRB (powdered)
100g Food Grade 100% lye (makin drug salads here)
200ml VM&P Naphtha
1.5l Distilled Water
4 beakers and funnels of Various size (500-1000ml)
2 Milk Jugs
2 9" pyrex pie pans (say that 3 times fast)
A pinch of Soda Ash

Pretty much he used followed the wonderful tek Gir posted, only he evaped the naphtha at the end instead of freeze percip, due to lack of cold enough freezer, I'm guessing.

End result was 1.12g of pretty nice spice that he promptly tossed out the window. He is very happy with his first work and will continue to refine and experiment.

About uploading photos from your phone: tell your "friend" that digital pictures contain rather elaborate exiff-data, such as date, time, lattitude and longitude, make and type of the apparatus used to take these photos and more depending on what you use. Not much use in SWIMming (if at all) when you blatantly toss around that kind of information. Your friend is committing an illegal act, prudence is necessary. Educate yourself in various fields, not just kitchen chemistry.

well i hate to get him in trouble though im sure his phone is rooted and location always set to off. ll take it down and delete it off the web best i can.

check for exif data manipulation programs, for linux there are plenty. For windows I'm not too sure, google it I guess...

Be safe and happy travels.

Will do! Thank you very much for the advice.

ACTUALLLLLlllyyyyy lol

EVERYTHING SENT AND RECEIVED ON THE INTERNET IS TRACEABLE....phones are just a little easier.

Simply put. The second you post something on this website (or anything on the internet) and you press sent/post/go/add/etc.) Everything is sent over the internet in the form of a PACKET

A PACKET is simply "boxed" data like you picture or a site you want to goto, that is sent from one network to another network (when you type www.google.com and hit enter.

BUT DUDE! The internet is enormous! How in the world does that packet find its way?

WELL. without writing out a wiki page.

A packet is normally made of of 3 parts, Header, Payload(data), Trailer.

The important one for this post is HEADER!!!!

Header is where you get caught.

The header contains things such as Length of a packet, a sync, Packet number (to keep noumours packets in order when sending) protocal, DESTINATION ADDRESS, ORIGINATING ADRESS.

When I mean address were talking about your MAC ADDRESS and IP ADDRESS.

As you can see IF you were a cop or nerd you could easily triangulate or get the info from the ISP for legal reasons.

HOW DO I FIX THIS?

Well really only 3 things you can do to prevent this.

1) VPN - Virtual Private Networks - These sites/places spoof your IP so you can "securely" browse the web.

2) Spoof your mac address. Theres tools such as Backtrack 5 and Net Tools 5

HOWEVER even with these measures a real hacker and decrypt even an encrypted packet.

Simply put there is no such thing as secure unless your on a Fiber Optic.
