Cocaine Cocaine melted from being left out... any ideas on how to salvage it?

Still nice and white. Just melted... how can I get it back to powder? Or if crack is it easier...

I can't, it's almost like liquid form. Should I open the bag up and let it dry on it's own? Water evaporate possibly?
 
Cocaine is hygroscopic (absorbs water from the air), there's not a lot you can do other than trying to dry it out with silica gel or something. Store it properly in the first place...

By the time your cocaine is wet, it's starting to degrade and lose potency.
 
Might be the cut that did this? I don't know normal coke doesn't react like this, I've left mine out in my black painted car (which incase you don't know, tend to get much hotter than any other colored car) in the summertime in North Carolina and it did not change. Actually it rocked up a little more, the chunks stuck together. Exactly the opposite of what happened to you.

In my eyes there's two possible solutions for you. you could either:
A) cook it in a toaster oven or oven at a low temp until it dries out...
Or...
B) search BL on how to purify your coke and follow that method to re-powderize your coke. It'll be almost pure after this, but you'll lose weight. (Mostly cut)

Pure cocaine hydrochloride acts like this, so does methamphetamine hydrochloride. It absorbs moisture from the air in a process called hygroscopy, like most salts.

That's the cocaine picking up traces of water from the air. Normally it should be a free-flowing microcrystalline powder if it's 100% dry. It starts to clump together when water gets introduced and will eventually turn to a soppy paste. If it's stored under hot, dry conditions it will only hydrate minimally. If you leave it out in a rainstorm that's different.

You pretty much have to freebase it and then re-acidify it under anhydrous conditions. Baking it out in an oven will work but it will also destroy a lot of the coke through hydrolysis (cocaine is an ester, water breaks it apart).
 
^So basically you're saying that, the OPs cocaine didn't melt, it absorbed water, which is completely different.. Leaving it in a hot car is a completely different situation. Am I right?

I would take it and dilute it in a small amount of water, and squirt it up your nose before it has a chance to break down further.

Dissolving it in grain alcohol must be a different story, because that's how much of it is smuggled these days, and I'm pretty sure you can get the cocaine back through simple evaporation in that case..

Even in a hot car there's a bit of water in the air, especially in subtropical humid North Carolina in the summer. Less water will condense/absorb onto the cocaine in warmer temperatures though - this is why you can sort of dry it out with an oven. (The heat might break some of it down though, but that can't be helped)
 
As mentioned above, you can dissolve it in water and squirt/spray/sniff it up your nose. If you're worried about ruining it, maybe just try it with a small amount first to see if sits right with you.
 
Yeah I think the best thing to do with the least chance of loosing any of your coke, is to dissolve it in a small amount of water, and just squirt it up your nose. It's actually very efficient that way.
