thing about cocaine is that the stuff which it is derived from, Coca leaves, have been planted and cultivated in the area for as long as time immemorial...
people in Bolivia are rarely seen not chewing the stuff, and it is part of their culture.. you want to be polite, you offer Coca, you want to propose to someone, you offer Coca...
however, dunking it in kerosene and then treating the stuff with sulphuric acid turns it into Cocaine...
then using the low grade stuff and treating it with other things crystalises it into Crack which is seriously more addictive and hits harder than Cocaine...
however, the raw material, coca leaves, when chewed, is an almost harmless stimulant much akin to coffee.. -
The coca plant, Erythroxylum coca
A pile of Cocaine hydrochloride
A pile of crack cocaine ‘rocks’ -
all these stuffs chemically processed. Not good.. bad for health.
