The chemistry behind Walter White's famous meth

Again with these afraid-to-tell-all “science” stories. Christ, a lack of easily accessible documentation on synths isn’t what’s keeping scores of potential cooks from going into the meth game - if that’s the road someone wants to take, they’re taking it, legality and safety be damned.

Keeping people from making illegal drugs is the job of law enforcement. Not scientists. Not reporters.

What does omitting the words “phenylacetic acid” from this article - a chemical already named on the show - accomplish other than forwarding the efforts of cowardly journalism?
