Commonly used fillers include cornstarch or flour or other drugs – such as amphetamines or fentanyl – which can add harmful, and even fatal, side effects to an already unsafe drug. These “fillers” make the drug even more dangerous because the user does not know how much cocaine he or she is taking or what fillers may have been used. Powdered cocaine can also be smoked via a process called “freebasing.”ĭrug dealers mix cocaine with other substances so they can have more of the drug to sell. People snort cocaine through their nose, rub it into their gums, or dissolve it and inject it with a needle into their veins.
Cocaine is a stimulant drug that is made from the leaves of a coca plant and comes in the form of a white powder or a “rock.” Street names for powdered cocaine include snow, nose candy, coke, Big C, flake and blow. It arrives in the country in powder form and is converted to crack by the wholesaler or retailer (gangs make up most of the retail market in the United States). Ĭocaine is usually smuggled into the United States across the Mexican border, often vehicles modified for maximum concealment, or even via underground tunnels, or off the coast, in small submarines. Hundreds of thousands of acres of arable land are used to grow coca plants, and farmers see it as a regular source of income rather than a criminal operation. In spite of decades of political maneuvering, social upheaval, and border policing, Colombia was still the world's biggest supplier of cocaine in 2017. Most of the cocaine that comes into the United States today originates in Colombia, Bolivia and Peru. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), crack rocks contain between 80 percent and 100 percent pure cocaine. Ĭrack rocks are white or tan in color and typically range in size from 0.1 to 0.5 grams. You only need a few household chemicals and basic chemistry knowledge. Recipes for crack cocaine are readily available online, and it's a relatively simple task to convert cocaine into crack.
Step 4: Cool the separated mixture and cut up the solids into "rocks" Step 3: Boil the solution to separate out the solids Step 2 : Add sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to the mixture
