Misc Weird Gooey Ketamine

[khaosddt]

Hi all, long time, wasn't here.
So a friend of mine, purchased some ketamine in crystal needles form, he dissolved them in water to transport, once he tried to cook it again, the ketamine get brown very quicly and is gooey and sticky.

I assume it was cut with some adulterant, but what can it be? Anyways, to get it off?

I'd suspect it was cut with sugar, but it's impossible to tell for sure.

Aside from acid/base extraction I don't think there's much you can do.

I tried with lemon juice, but lemon Got also sugar so it Was even Brown more quickly.
If i turn the pan quite often i can preventes it from going Brown, however it still sticks like some cocaine pasta, or amphetamine.
The quality is good, however its very disappointing having gooey ketamine.

I remember a mr shambles on bluelight, k expert, is hé still there?

I heard from a friend that in holland they make some ketamine with the garbage chemicals from mdma, and its not quite ketamine, anyone can tell me what it is?

Clarke's: HCl: Soluble 1 in 4 of water, 1 in 14 of ethanol and 1 in 6 of methanol; sparingly soluble in chloroform; practically insoluble in ether.
SWGDRUG sez: base is soluble in water, methanol, chloroform, insoluble in ether, acetone, and hexanes

I guess you may not be able to seperate them in a normal acid base extraction then.

"Acid base extraction" doesn't mean add lemon juice and cook it, either

So you could probably use methanol to dissolve the ketamine away from the sugar (sucrose has poor solubility in methanol, 1g per 100mL) and evaporate it after.
