Cocaine extraction from Coca Leaves

[sulpo]

i have just made with leaves , but i will buy tea and cook to check it have a difference even i was looking out and i find coca flour cheaper than tea and leaves

 

[Hank Shrader]

Did you buy the leaves or do you have plants?

 

[sulpo]

i buy them but somebody else ask to me for seeds , but my house is too small for have trees but i think i can get seeds if somebody want

 

[Hank Shrader]

Is possibile to plant in a garage?

 

[Hank Shrader]

however I asked for information and the coca plant hardly grows outside of Colombia, Bolivia and Peru so I do not think it is convenient to plant it

 

[KokosDreams]

Both works, in this synthesis there was just tea used.
I guess the advantage of using tea is to not use up too much space as the amount of coca leavs is larger I think

 

[KokosDreams]

Also, the amounts needed and the time to grow a full sized coca bush/tree would not make this an idea worth to proceed with It's better to just buy the tea/finished leavs

 

[Hank Shrader]

yes, I started to see which drug costs more in Europe as you advised me, apparently it is cocaine, so if you can get it out of coca tea and it's pure, it might be worth it, otherwise I saw that there are amphetamines after cocaine, as the most expensive drug

The synthesis of Cocaine displayed here is not very worth it.

The price for tea can be around 70EUR/Kg, the price for leavs 38EUR/Kg.

According to this synthesis you'd need around 210Kg of Tea to fullfill this synthesis which would drive the cost of the tea alone to 14.700EUR for 1Kg of Cocaine.
As for the leavs it is said that between 750-1.000Kg of leavs are needed to synthesize 1Kg of pure Cocaine, which would bring the price up to 28.500 - 38.000EUR for the leavs alone you'd need for 1 Kg of Cocaine.

For your reference: Farmes in South America get payed between 0.5 - 3EUR for 1Kg of leavs, depending on how they are dried before selling them (low prices for undried leavs, higher prices for air dried leavs). The price for leavs/tea would need to be reduced by a lot to make this synthesis ready for commercial use. If you can manage to find a good vendor for coca leavs/tea it could be worth ti pursue, otherwise not really.

Regardeless, it is still a cool synthesis and I might do it as I like cocaine and would love to try to make my own..but not for commercial use

i came from the market and the best price i can get per coca leavs is 11,52 euros/pound , and the coca tea are 6,28 euros/box the box have 100 tea bags and i'm sure every bag equal to 5gr/bag but i will check it out right now

 

[Hank Shrader]

it looks very interesting

 

[sulpo]

right , but well lol my mistake 1 tea bag = 1 gr , seems get the coca leavs is a better deal

 

[Hank Shrader]

wherr did you buy coca leavs?

 

[sulpo]

in the markets you can see grannies with giant bags of coca leavs

 

[KokosDreams]

Funny

 

[sulpo]

finally cooked

 

[KokosDreams]

Sick man looks yummy!

 

[mithyl2]

what can be used in place of:

H2SO4 5%
Potassium permanganate
Ammonia solution
Diethyl Ether

 

[G.Patton]

>>>Diethyl Ether
Petroleum ether, probably

 

[mithyl2]

thanks. can you say anything about the other chemicals?

 

[G.Patton]

Probably, you can substitute H2SO4 and NH4OH. For instance by nitric acid and sodium hydroxide but I'm not sure.
