As for the 'precursor', Methylamine...first let me say that I work with chemicals daily - but I do not know, nor desire to know, the chemical route to any 'entertainment' compounds. But their use of methylamine is at least partially fuzzy truth. Methylamine is a gas at room temp/pressure - it is very similar to ammonia, with one hydrogen being substituted with a methyl group. They would not be handling it in 55 gal drums, unless it was severely diluted in water - a very inefficient way of introducing a raw material. It would be shipped in pressurized gas cylinders like welding cylinders (or larger versions).
OK...that was just bugging me. Carry on.

Whatever it is, Wiki says the DEA has it listed as a Schedule 1 substance for producing Meth.
