I will be showing you how to make your own Pepper spray at home!
Commercial Pepper spray is made using capsaicin, the active chemical in chillies. We will be extracting capsaicin from chillies using acetone solvent extraction. We will also add a pepper extract for coughing and sneezing effect.
DO NOT WORRY, there is no complicated chemistry involved
I am not responsible for any harm you cause to yourself, or others, in the process of making, or using, these chemical solutions.
Be very careful with this as it causes coughing, sneezing, temporary blindness, and severe pain.
Please note this is illegal in certain countries and should only be used where it is legal. Only for use in self defence.
The effects will only last for 30 seconds, but the pain may last longer.

Step 1: Equipment and ingredients
First, you will need to get a few pieces of equipment and ingredients together.
Equipment:
Coffee filter papers
3 small glasses
A funnel
250ml acetone
Ingredients:
10 chillies (Trinidad Scorpion dried chillies hotter is better!)
About 50g of ground black pepper
Food colouring of your choice (I used red)

Step 2: Preparing chillies
Now, we will prepare the chillies so we can extract the capsaicin from them.
First, chop up the chillies as finely as possible. Put them in one of the glasses. Try to compact them down a bit.
Mash them with a fork until the are in a pulp. Make sure there are no large lumps or the extraction will not work well.

Step 3: Extracting capsaicin
Pour enough acetone into the glass to cover all of the chillies. Then cover the top with cling film to stop the acetone evaporating and put in a cool place for 24 hours. Shake the glass every hour or so. After 24 hours remove the clingfilm and pour the liquid through the filter paper and funnel into a glass. Leave the glass in a warm place for the acetone to evaporate.
When all of the acetone has evaporated, you should be left with a red sticky substance or small crystals, depending on the water content in the chillies. Smell the liquid and if it smells of acetone leave it for another 24 hours. Put this to the side for now.
Step 4: Making the pepper extract
To make the pepper extract, pour the pepper into one of the glasses and repeat step 2, substituting pepper for chillies.
You should be left with a grey-brown syrup. Put that to the side.

Step 5: Making the pepper spray
Take all of the extracts from both the chillies and the pepper and mix it in a glass. Add in about 20 ml water and mix thoroughly.
If you want to colour it, add in your choice of food colouring until it reaches the colour you want.
Transfer the liquid to a small bottle or a small spray bottle. I would recommend the spray bottle, so you can spray it. Pepper spray is meant to be sprayed!
