I'v seen on tv before that people goto their local pharmacy and buy some over the counter drugs take them home and brew up some illegal drugs. What drugs are theese and how is it done?

 

Note: i have not intention of doing this its just for educational purposes.

it`s unlikely you`ll get many answers to this question.

but like almost anything OTC it will be subject to abuse by some fool or other. whether it cough medicine, taking the buffer agent out of pain killers and injecting it

However due to legislation and security measures, it`s much less likely to occur as most Pharmacutical outlets monitor stock very closely and have video surveilance also, so you may get away with it once, but very unlikely a second time without a good many questions being asked.

Iodine tincture and ephedrine are available at most pharmacies and are typically used in methamphetamine production.
