Not Looking for a recipe or a how to guide. But when meth rolled thru my town they called it either redneck speed or bathtub speed. With all chemicals did people really do it in a bathtub??

Probably not, BUT people DID make whiskey in their bathtubs during prohibition. The term bathtub whiskey became a nickname for home made liquor.

They just replaced whiskey with meth.

Bathtub gin was the phrase used during Prohibition.

"Bathtub" is a holdover, like bootleg.

I don't know any formulae but I do know that a type of meth can be made in 2L soda bottles. Makers pay people to carry a few bottle around in a backpack all day to keep the liquid agitated(?).

They have to get paid because there is a non-zero risk of explosion.

I knew a guy who did actually make method in his apartment bathtub.

It was in part to make clean up easier and also had ventilation!

Although that guys was an odd duck and chemistry genius. He's a PHd student now and was actually making them meth so he could try meth he "trusted"

I doubt your average method manufacturer cares that much about safety though.

Given how durable and versatile bathtubs are, I wouldn't be surprised.
