isn't crack just freebased cocaine?

[alexthealien]

my friend is telling me otherwise

 

[sekio]

Yes, though sometimes it contains impurities from "synthesis" like salt and baking soda.

 

[alexthealien]

doesn't converting it crack eliminate many impurities

 

[sekio]

Not neccesarily, only the non-alkaloid ones.

Not neccesarily, only the non-alkaloid ones.

Which includes most of the cuts. In many areas, the coke going around is cut to hell and back - sometimes leading people to choose crack because it's comparatively purer (because it's somewhat harder to convincingly cut, and the cuts tend to get removed in the preparation process - of course, it doesn't remove all cuts, and can introduce salt/baking soda).

I'm happy to be corrected but it was vmy understanding that;-

The Crack making processs (there is no HR is me explaining that) is one way of making Freebase Coke

There are others which tend to be a bit more tricky and dangerous to carry out in your kitchen

I would imagine you are right and there are several methods you could use to convert cocaine into it's freebase form but I definitely do not want to see any details of drug synthesis in this thread

Infact seeing as the initial question was a simple one which has been answered, I'm going to close this. Pm me if you have any queries
