Can crack be converted back into powdered cocaine?

I've found on the internet several conflicting Waze that's crack can be converted back into powder cocaine. I don't know what information is legit and what is just BS.

The information I found has been anywhere from pretty elaborate, with multiple steps that includes using one or more liquid chemicals, to something very simple as using a dozen drops of fresh lemon juice and 15 seconds in a microwave.

What is the proper correct step by step and turning crack back into powder cocaine?

I got a good deal on a gram of crack for a friend who in turn backed out and didn't want it anymore. I don't smoke crack and don't really need to be tempted by having the stuff around.

I would like to turn it back into powder cocaine if possible.

If I have a gram of crack, about how much product boss will be expected by the time it is completely converted back into powder?

One thing I read on the internet said that the powder will be of higher quality what's the process of converting it is complete. Is this true?

Is the powder cocaine completely converted back to the same powder that it started off as before being turned into crack or is the powder slightly different then what's the original powder was? In other words, is it converted back into normal cocaine powder or is it converted into a different form of powder?

Can a crack rock be crushed and chopped back into a powder and snorted with the same effects as powder cocaine or will it have different effects?
 
the right way to do it would be dissolving the crack in ether or similar nonpolar solvent and treating it with hydrochloric acid gas, generated from sulfuric acid and either table salt or concentrated hcl in water (or by adding e.g. pre-prepared anhydrous hcl in ether)

alternatively you can drip concentrated hcl, or a concentrated solution of vitamin c - not sodium ascorbate but ascorbic acid - in water, or strong white vinegar onto it until it all dissolves & evaporate the remaining water and hcl off - just keep in mind that heat + water + acid can break cocaine down to methanol and benzoylecgonine (which is why the above, more complex procedure is used)

using lemon juice or ascorbic acid will leave acid left behind and the powder will be very irritating to the veins and mucous membranes. lemon juice can be used but again, residual acid will irritate your nose. (lemon juice should NEVER be injected)

the lazy man's option would be to dissolve the crack into a coca-cola and drink it.
 
Ignore everything said above.unless u have chemistry knowledge your not going to understand it and only having a gram makes it pointless to attempt using such a method for such a small amount.
So get a bit of hydrochloric acid (2-3mls u probably won't need all of it) and an eye dropper and some p.h. test strips.these are the 3things u will need.and a matchstick or a tiny little wizzfizz scoop or a McDonald's plastic sundae spoon with the spoon bit cut off to stir it with.the thinner the better. and a shot glass to mix it up in.
Slowly drop the HCL onto the crack which should be sitting in a small amount of cold water (2-3 mls) drop the acid onto the rocks until the p.h. of the cold water is around 7.dont go any lower than 6 by this point all the rocks should have dissolved into the water if there's some salty looking stuff at the bottom that isn't dissolving it's just salt ignore it as long as it's not crack don't worry about it dissolving.then use the eye dropper to transfer the liquid into
a pyrex dish or something that u can put on top of a pot of boiling water.let it sit until u have nothing but powder left.scrape it up and wash with acetone to remove any excess hydrochloric acid.let it dry and enjoy.

a hand to hand transaction might be the easiest way to turn that crack into coke
 
Amigo mio, when you say hcl do you mean 100% from chem shop or the thing that you clean toilets with which is i think 5%

The amount of times I injected that or vinegar when didn't have citric acid to break down heroin lol

Can't crushed up crack be snorted what would be the difference if she ended up doing that?

It can't be snorted as it's not water soluble, it's a base.

Glad you're ok after using lemon juice - an old face on our scene got very seriously ill from an infection after doing that...was close to death

Ah I see yeah I get it, I'd of swapped it then for a drug I actually like

I wouldn't be so silly these days but this was back before Internet so no harm reduction or info about, no one thought anything of cooking up with lemon or vinegar it was just normal

Depends on your social circles I guess. And desperation is a bitch, I'm only too well aware

I mean yeah, I'm suprised to still be here after realising how reckless my drug taking was in my teens...but still back in the 80's my heroin injecting friends were still somehow aware not to use lemon juice - with all due respect it's obvious that there could be organic matter in it...

Snorting crack is nothing snorting powder. And I just broke down a rock with about 15units of vinegar, balanced it out with some good ol h2o and I’m still ringing.
 
would using the citric acid they give out for injecting freebase H and coke dissolved in water work? like dissolve the rock with as small amount of vitamin C as possible, evaporate, and scrape up and reclaim Cocaine Citrate salt?
 
heating cocaine in water with acid will probably cause hydrolysis -> cocaine decomposes to the non psychoactive benzoylecgonine

What's the difference between these two? Also, I swear I used to aim for pH 7 before when I would convert crack to cocaine citrate for injection but @sekio told me salts are slightly acidic? At a pH of 7, would it still partially be a base for this specifically?

This can be done with ascorbic acid alone to precipitate a powder?
