Test E. Synthesis

[meowmix]

(This is more of a general theory question)

In researching AAS I often read that, excluding scams, testosterone enanthate is rarely "faked" or swapped for other substances. Whereas I hear that substances like anavar are occasionally swapped with winstrol because the latter is easier/cheaper/whatever to make.

If testosterone enanthate is so simple that it's usually legitimate (diluted maybe, but test e nonetheless), then why don't we hear more about people synthesizing the actual molecule?

Perhaps the lab equipment needed is too expensive to justify it? But on the other hand, people are creative. I mean if some drug addled idiot can get busted like 90% of the way through a fucking methamphetamine synthesis.. in a Walmart shopping cart.. while in walmart.. by shoplifting the materials...

I dont think anyone is making bath tub testosterone, it's easy enough to get the powder sent here from china or india.
There are certain oral compounds that are more expensive than others, that is why you might get anavar that is realyl dbol or anadrol/

With meth your the reaction can be made for common materials. Also money. There is no money in making testosterone powder for the ordinary guy. How many people use test vs meth. Easier cheap and more efficient to get test powder than trying make it.
