Guide to Ghetto Chemistry
Starting out
So, you are an average Greytide and you want to be a Walter White. How do you do it? First off, you're gonna wanna get these things to get started with ghetto chem.
A few beakers, soda cans, bottles, etc
A couple of tables to store your beakers, so you don't spill your shit on the floor
Most importantly, without this you dont have ghetto chem:
An all in one grinder, to grind up shit for your methexperimental chemistry
Optionally:
A couple friends (that is, if you have any)
A ChemMaster 3000 to separate and bottle chemicals.
tl;dr go to the holodeck and boot up the medical program! Remember that you can use matches, lighters and igniters to heat containers as well.
Grindables
Not only can you steal things, you can shove them into a grinder to retrieve chemicals from them!
If you're stealing from Botany, check out the Guide to hydroponics.
