Well a good start would be learning how to spell properly as this is an important skill that could save you from blowing yourself to smithereens,
especially with the energetic stuff.

There are a huge number of posts about this sort of thing. I suggest you have a look through these then come back with some more specific questions.
Here are a few to get you started.

I suggest you start with checking out your local laws & regulations, and if applicable commence with purchasing a small 14/20 basic beginner kit
as shown:

....along with some joint grease, a hotplate-stirrer, magnetic stir bar/s, a couple of retort stands, bossheads, clamps and a sep funnel ring.
Then start with learning basics like distillation, separations of solutions, re/crystallization and similar basics utilising fairly innocuous solvents
and salts.
