I do not have to prove that it will be reprotonated. And in any case, a subatomic particle, less than a single atom, does not a synthesis make. If that logic would lead to it being called synthesis talk, then we would ban snorting coke, because nasal drip would lead it to go down to the stomach, and it would be bathed in a SEA of acid, protonating the bejesis out of it. Hell, it could lead to some degree of acidic cleavage of the ester functionalities. All he has to do, is not to prove that it will be reprotonated, but not specifically to say that it would not.
And in any case, the DRUG is still cocaine, be it a salt, or the base. Cocaine, stays cocaine, be there a counterion or no counterion. And again as I said, a hydrogen ion, or proton, it is less than an ATOM, a subatomic particle that changes the nature of the drug, the SELFSAME drug, not one iota, merely the vaporization point and solubility in H2O and other polar solvents. Solubility, NOT character. Not action. Cocaine, is cocaine, is cocaine.
And also, it (removing potentially HARMful adulterants is HARM REDUCTION.) And what, tell me, pray thee, is bluelight's message and raison d'etre?
Correct me if I am mistaken but I believed it to BE harm reduction.
And lets look at it this way, if changing the state (and NOT the essential nature) of the drug, which is as I said, still what it started to be, unless he accidentally uses too strong a base (which I warned him against, to use ammonia rather than hydroxide) if he did that he would be left with ecgonidine or one of its monoesters. These are inactive if ingested. And yes, sure, whilst I myself possess the capability knowledge to do things with ecgonidine which quite certainly would amount to synthesis, is not what I am talking about. Hell if it were me. I'd get enough coke, clean it up, hydrolyse the benzoyl ester and do things to it that most CERTAINLY would be counted as synthesis talk if discussed openly, things that involve glassware and plenty of chemical manipulations, transformations et cetera.
But, in this case, I most certainly do know what I am talking about. I have, lets say, a good understanding of chemical transformations and whats more, of what constitutes one and what does not. Freebasing a drug no more changes the essential molecule itself any more than changing the concentration by adding it to nothing more or less than distilled H2O, in which case the drug if a salt and water soluble has a dissociation constant, just like an acid or base does, and will ionize into drug molecules and the charged species (MUCH more complex than a mere single proton, solely by virtue of its dissociation in water, yes, ordinary water brings about a greater change, So does adding vinegar to baking powder.)
And again, Le Junk was permitted to publish his procedure. And in ADD it specifically says things that are alright, such as the included extractions are permissible. Does it not go counter to the very spirit of bluelight at the most fundamental level, restricting discussion of extractions and procedures for cleaning out potentially harmfuk byproducts/cuts?
To me, it does indeed go against what BL stands for.
