In this video, I describe a technically possible but absolutely ridiculous way to go from Lego bricks to methamphetamine. And yes this can just as easily be done from any source of styrene, like polystyrene cups. But talking about legos makes my educational point better. (even from polystyrene cups it would be absolutely bonkers to even attempt this.
This video was made purely for the amusement and education of undergrad students.
For the youtube reviewer: This is an educational video that talks about an interesting topic in chemistry. the chemical transformations I describe in this video are not illegal although having the products or the ingredients for these transformations in your possession might be if you are not a licensed chemist. I very clearly state this in the beginning of this video, it's such an impracticable route that any complaint about showing dangerous information is unjustified.
Seriously tough put your lab goggles on while in the lab.
22/04/23: This video took off like crazy, yes I'm aware that I misspoke halfway through the video and yes I am aware that there is 1 reaction in this video to which you can have a long-form scientific discussion to if it would even be possible ;D.
