Cocaine Share your thoughts and findings about the purification methods

[Knokkeltje]

Hey,

I didn't explained anywhere who I was or where I come from so I'll do that here, shortly:

I'm a 20-year old from the Netherlands. Why I'm here? There are some drug related forums in my language, but I don't think there are many "wise" people that reply on them. So thats why I joined the forum over here.

So, my question to you all is:

Have you ever done a purification on your own? What did you do? How did you do it? What is the result? Was it actually worth it? Any do's or dont's?

I also read you can use Acetone and/or Ethanol, what do you prefer? Can you use them both?

I would like to try it sometime, because the product I can manage to get my hands isn't that good.

I hope it isn't to much of an ask!

Unless you know what you're trying to seperate your drugs from don't go trying to "purify" it. You'll just waste your time

For cocaine especially, you should verify that it is actually cocaine and not a random cocktail of stimulants & anesthetics. (methanol/KOH or Scott reagent)
You should also figure out what you have to seperate it from.

Some simple cuts (salt, sugar, flour etc) can be "removed" by dissolving the cocaine salt in alcohol, filtering to remove the insolubles, and evaporating alcohol. Others like benzocaine can be removed with gently washing crushed cocaine with anhydrous acetone, or methyl ethyl ketone (dried well with finely powdered, oven-baked magensium sulphate, filtered, & used rapidly).

Otherwise you have to go to either acid/base extraction, column chromatography, or chemical treatments like permanganate to purify your cocaine.

But it isn't possible to tell what it is mixed with, right?

Because when I bring it to a test center, they will need a week to tell me what's in there exactly. But in that week the dealer can have other stuff that's filled with other cuts, right? He even can have other stuff the same day..

So is it possible to perform multiple washes (a/b extraction, acetone wash together maybe) just to make sure I get everything that doesn't belong there out of the product? (even if it's not in there, if it was it will be out..) Or is that a stupid thought?

Is there anyone 100% sure he is purifying his cocaine perfectly?
