Medellin cocaine?

[JordanBelfort]

I was wondering about the quality of cocaine coming from the medellin cartel. I realize that quality varies from location to location, but does anyone have any first hand experience with cocaine from this part of colombia? Good? bad? How was it?

Anything coming straight from the source is goimg to be infinitely better than anything you get in EU or USA, which averages about 5-15% pure

Though unless you're in South America right now, whoever is telling you that watches too many movies and is full of shit, and nasty cutting agents.

Back in Escobar's day cocaine was shipped to wholesale distributers in the USA uncut (or minimally cut...sometimes the workers who worked in the crystal labs or in some part of the production process would take a little for themselves on the side). In any case, it was minimal. But now cocaine is cut while still in South America, so that's a big difference I think.

"Cocaine Handbook: An Essential Reference" by David Lee (published in the early 80's IIRC) has a really interesting chapter which details the cocaine trade and the many steps the drug goes through to transition from being a plant in South America to being powder in some American's nose.
