The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

I knew a guy who did actually make method in his apartment bathtub.
It was in part to make clean up easier and also had ventilation!
Although that guys was an odd duck and chemistry genius. He's a PHd student now and was actually making them meth so he could try meth he "trusted"
I doubt your average method manufacturer cares that much about safety though.
Purdue pharma followed strict manufacturing and purity standards to produce a drug that killed more Americans than the Viet Cong and Al Qaeda combined.
Can we say that the American healthcare industry really protects it's customers from harm any better than the cartels?
Comparing a drug manufacturer who supplies drugs to people in hospice care and an insurgent group is such a strange comparison.
Did a pharma company make a drug that could cause harm to patients? Yes.
Did they pretend it was less harmful than it was? Yes.
Did they encourage over prescribing? Yes.
Did they intentionally try and kill off their paying customer base? No.
Probably not, BUT people DID make whiskey in their bathtubs during prohibition. The term bathtub whiskey became a nickname for home made liquor.
They just replaced whiskey with meth.

Bathtub gin was the phrase used during Prohibition.
"Bathtub" is a holdover, like bootleg.
I am pretty sure you can't just use a bathtub. It's not just mixing things together. There's a buttload of chemistry you need to know and perform. That's why methlabs are prone to exploding or catching fire; because part of the process requires heat.
It's actually really simple, which is why it was made everywhere. But it is very dangerous from flammable vapors, to caustic chemicals, and generally it was idiots making it, who aren't great with safety or following directions.
I don't know any formulae but I do know that a type of meth can be made in 2L soda bottles. Makers pay people to carry a few bottle around in a backpack all day to keep the liquid agitated(?).
They have to get paid because there is a non-zero risk of explosion.
Given how durable and versatile bathtubs are, I wouldn't be surprised.
