I meant that for it to be completely converted to freebase, the pH would need to be 12+ (it was actually closer to 14 and I made a mistake when I typed it here) and that with a pka of ~10, there was no way that even half of the vapors blown out would turn into freebase. So cleaning a house...

I doubt it is exhaled as freebase, because if I recall, I can't get drain cleaner (sodium hydroxide) from the store because it is used in the manufacture of meth. I did a quick google search, and I'm seeing Meth Hcl has a pKa of 10.1 and it would take an aqueous solution with pH > 12 to turn it...

I just registered to let you know that most of you are wrong. Acetone is useless to remove Meth. Methamphetamine in the US is sold in its salt form, i.e. Methamphetamine Hydrochloride - also called Ice. It comes as a white powder, or more commonly white crystals that look like broken glass...
