Make Crack with Ammonia Make crack with ammonia Continue Image via Wikipedia Updated November 2015 NOTE: Be sure to check out our article on cocaine - How do you take yours? This looks at the ways in which we take our coke, talks with peeps involved and gives some helpful harm reduction tips to users. This information has been collected through in-depth research on the internet (from the best users/chefs) from our crews of own experience, and some brilliant books - or rather, one brilliant book - Cocaine Handbook - from Dave Lee (there's a reprint I believe). Now it would be wrong to start this article, let alone that Cocaine Clean-Up is really about the two ends of the sword; In our black market world horrible adulterers and God knows that in our street cocaine these days is a really good thing to be able to do something to take control back into your own hands and do something to clear your cocaine of adulterers in it. And the truth is, while we can't get rid of them all, even through the freebasing old-school way (levisomole, cattle de-wormer is thought to survive in the process!), it significantly makes for a better tasting product - in that you'll feel much less wired, fast, agitated, etc. and quickly realize that a purified product is very different from the street's drugs. But when there's a good thing - there's a crappy thing around the corner - in this case - the incredible thrust after a single pipe base is waaaay more than a line or even an injectable... You should really consider things hard before embarking on this road - yes clean your product if you are a regular user, but put some strict rules in the beginning, i.e. never use your money card a second time (take out enough cash that you can afford and score a ONCE-hand over the card for your partner or leave it in the office, etc. Do not continue to use after midnight. Only use after you have eaten and slept, and only Friday nite, etc. These kind of strict rules can help from the very morning. Hold on to them. There is nothing more desperate, frighteningly outa control and fallout than someone you love, or yourself who has lost it on the rocks. The scale of the losses can be mindblowing. You've been warned! Don't stand up to it when you have nothing to do, otherwise it will soon be the only thing you want to do. Well, to the text... How to make Crack and how to make Freebase cocaine this first piece (not from our magazine) came from david Lee's Bible - Cocaine Handbook. At least you'll know what's in it right? Procedures for both substances (crack and cocaine free base) are based on the fact that while cocaine hydrochloride (regular cocaine) requires a high temperature to ignite, basic cocaine requires lower temperature to ignite. This makes it ideal for smoking. These methods are based on personal experience and information found in a printed book called Cocaine Guide, by It's Lee. A truly excellent book, and a must-have for any Coke user. Refs at the end of this article. How to make Crack (common street method) is the most common method, but rather rude to be honest and not the best way to get a better product. Get a spoon and mix 2 -3 pieces of hydrochloride cocaine (regular cocaine) up to 1 portion of baking soda in 20 ml of water. (Some say 3-1, others say 2-1: it's better to start smaller and add a little more if necessary) Heat the solution gently (with a lighter) before forming white precipitation and stop heating when precipitation stops. After soft heating, freebase cocaine will float to the top, any excess soda will settle on the bottom. Just assemble a connection that rises to the top and you have a finished product, it's ready to use. Note that what you are trying to do is start and maintain a chemical reaction (link hydrochloride to the base of soda), so as long as the reaction occurs, you should not continue heating. Dig this dudes crack the pipe! What you can't see too well is a rubber tube pushed at the end of a glass pipe, which then trails around your feet or maybe even 45 cm or so into the dudes' mouth. I think this will work well by creating a low fire burn and burning that cracks nicely and slowly and low temperatures, which is the recommended way. None of this is WHOOSH! And all this rose in one light smoke. It should be sipped, say, like the cheap wine that it is. But apart from Whitney Houston's 8 balls wrapped in a hemp joint, all wrapped tightly in... Now whats the name of these cigar paper that big smokers roll their wet??? Is it a bomb? Memory ran away from me, it's funny that. (Gee, his thumb saw some of the best days, lighting pipes before sunset in Texas... How to make Crack (unusual method) I have never seen anyone try this method. You make a crack as described above and then wash it with water and let dry during the day. Its for a connoisseur, no doubt, but the patient kind of ... Mix 2 pieces of hydrochloride cocaine to 1 piece baking soda in 20ml water - or enough water to make a thick pancake paste styled. The heat solution is very soft until white precipitation is formed; This is best done by putting a glass bowl of pyrex (with a cracked paste inside it) neatly placed in a pan of boiling water; It will heat the crack gently without cooking it and humiliating your product. Continue to stir adding water droplets if necessary. Turn the knife (copper penny, or steel knife tip) over and over again as it starts to collect crack drops. Stop heating up when the precipitation stops. Collect the cocaine-free base that floats to the top. Ideally, you should wash this crack freebase once with water (this usually omitted in a street product). Dry for 24 hours under a heat lamp. Voila (this procedure is usually omitted in the street product impatient!). How to make a freebase freebase -Old School Way These days, and after many accidents Ala Richard Pryor, the ether is not really recommended as a method of encouragement from chefs. It is believed that the simple use of acetone is the safest method that has the best result. Ammonia is also used- However you have to be patient and prepared for both of these things to thoroughly dry -48hours dry - before smoking - or you will be damaging your lungs. For information for the sake - here's the Old School Ether way. Crack cocaine is less pure than using ether to make freebase cocaine (there is a lot of baking soda left), but the procedure is safer. Ammonia appears to cause real damage to the lungs, especially because the coke is often not dried properly before it is smoked, thus inhaling ammonia vapors. Mix about 1 g of coke in 10 ml of water in a small bottle. Slowly add drops of ammonia to the solution. White milk sediments will be formed. Stop adding ammonia when additional drops no longer cause precipitation. Add 5 ml of ethyl ester, close the bottle and shake. Precipitation (free base) will dissolve on the air. Siphon off the ether with a pipette (ether and water do not mix), and slowly drip it on a plate. As the ether evaporates, white crystals are formed. It's an evil free base. Grind the crystals and place under the heat lamp for at least 24 hours to allow the solvent to evaporate. ETHYL ETHER IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. IF THERE IS AIR, IT CAN FORM PEROXIDES THAT SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODE! IN ADDITION, THE ETHER CAN CRAWL OUT OF AN OPEN BOTTLE AND CAUSE AN EXPLOSION IN A FEW FEET. So Richard Pryor almost died. Many untrained people have committed suicide by doing this procedure, which is why cracks are now more popular. What does it achieve? By doing something like one of the methods above, resulting in freebase cocaine being easy to smoke, it requires a lower temperature to ignite than nonfree cocaine. If someone smoked cocaine as is, it would be too much waste. Some people smoke cocaine as is, but it is much more effective to freebase or make a crack. Warning you feel great when you inhale cracks or freebase cocaine, but begin to descend soon after exhalation. Once you start, it's super hard to put the pipe down. Never inject crack or cocaine-free base, it can cause a heart attack or stroke. Both of which are likely to kill you. Note - The use of baking soda FREE base cocaine from cocaine hydrochloride (regular cocaine) leads to a substance people call crack. Crack is a less pure form of cocaine-free base than the use of ammonia and ester and gets its name from the crackling sound it makes when smoked. Using ammonia (and ether) to free BASE cocaine out Hydrochloride (regular cocaine) leads to a substance people call freebase cocaine. This form of base release is more laborious and dangerous than making a crack, but the result is cleaner and can give a give output than converting the same amount of cocaine into a crack would. Although both forms of the drug can be called freebase cocaine, only by using the method of baking soda leads to a product that can be called crack.

The choice of a particular salt formulation is based on numerous factors such as API chemistry, intended dosage form, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. The appropriate salt can improve the overall therapeutic and pharmaceutical effects of an API. However, the incorrect salt form can have the opposite effect, and can be quite detrimental for overall drug development. This review summarizes several criteria for choosing the appropriate salt forms, along with the effects of salt forms on the pharmaceutical properties of APIs. In addition to a comprehensive review of the selection criteria, this review also gives a brief historic perspective of the salt selection processes.

  • The Levels of Use of Opioids, Amphetamines and Cocaine and Associated Levels of Harm: Summary of Scientific Evidence
    ISSN 1725-0579 LITERATURE REVIEW The levels of use of opioids, amphetamines and cocaine and associated levels of harm: summary of scientific evidence Author: Kateřina Škařupová Supervision: Tomáš Zábranský, Viktor Mravčík Editors: Danica Thanki and Julian Vicente March 2014 Summary This report presents the findings of a literature review to identify the most frequently occurring patterns of use and their relation to harm in users of opioids, powder and crack cocaine, and meth/amphetamine. The behavioural factors that were studied included: frequency of use, duration of use, routes of administration, drug type, dose, severity of dependence, and (the presence of) polydrug use. Research on stimulants covers a relatively broad spectrum of patterns and severity, and thus provides some indications of the levels of use that are more harmful than others. Similar evidence is relatively scarce for opioids, where the overwhelming majority of studies concentrate only on the most risky injecting and addictive use. For cocaine and amphetamines, it appears that weekly and higher frequency of use and patterns involving heavy periods of continuous use (bingeing) are related to increased prospective risk or actual existence of harms. Similar conclusion cannot be made for opioids, although research provides some indication of controlled use of heroin on a weekly and monthly (or less frequent) basis. Similarly, some evidence exists that crystal forms of stimulants — crystal methamphetamine and crack cocaine — are often positively associated with more harmful patterns of use and more severe consequences, whereas very little attention is paid in the literature to the different forms of heroin/opioids. Routes of administration range from injecting, through smoking and inhaling, to snorting and oral consumption when ranked from the riskiest to less risky routes, although the less risky routes of snorting and swallowing are not considered to be risk-free behaviours.

We determined whether prior nicotine and alcohol treatment would alter amphetamine reward. Also, we examined whether age and dopaminergic neurotransmission are important in this regard. Male and female adolescent and adult C57BL/6J mice were tested for baseline place preference. Mice then received six conditioning with saline/nicotine (0.25 mg/kg) twice daily, followed by six conditioning with saline/ethanol (2 g/kg). Control mice were conditioned with saline/saline throughout. Finally, mice were conditioned with amphetamine (3 mg/kg), once in the nicotine-alcohol-paired chamber, and tested for place preference 24 h later. The following day, mice were challenged with amphetamine (1 mg/kg) and tested for place preference under a drugged state. Mice were then immediately euthanized, their brain removed, and nucleus accumbens isolated and processed for the level of dopamine receptors and transporter and glutamate receptors. We observed a greater amphetamine- induced place preference in naïve adolescents than adult mice with no change in state-dependent Citation: Stojakovic, A.; Ahmad, place preference between the two age groups.

Lewis, acids are not limited to proton donors, but an acid is any substance that contains an element having a vacant orbital that can accept a pair of electrons in forming a bond. According to the Lewis concept it is the bare proton with its vacant s orbital that is the acidic entity in protonic acids. But bare unsolvated protons do not exist in solution and it is now customary to differentiate between proton acids and Lewis acids. The term 'Lewis acid' is used to designate substances having a vacant orbital, usually substances containing an element that is two electrons short of having a complete valence shell.
