I think I heard its like 200 lbs of leaf to make 20 grams of cocaine. I could be WAY the fuck off tho.
edit
It may have been 20 lbs to make 2 grams ? :/

I know where a huge fucking tree of it grows, and its right where tons of people pass by every day and they have no idea what it is . I have a friend who tried to make some type of Coca paste and then maybe pure cocaine, but he never got past the first step. He was soaking it in some buckets in something, I forget what. I just like to chew on the leaves ( though they burn my mouth pretty bad) or smoke the dried leaves. It kind of trips me out in a weird way.
Where does all the coke on the streets come from? Do they synthesize it in a lab or purify it from the plant?

actually getting hold of viable is not so difficult. I friend of mine grows 2 plants but have never extracted it for cocaine or anything like that as far as i know.

100 pounds of coca leaves = 1 pound of cocaine. They wash the leaves in gasoline or kerosine to make the paste then they wash that shit with ether. I dont remember. I think erowid.com should have information on how to make it.

# The cocaine content of the leaves ranges from O.1% to 0.9%. # Coca plants grown at higher altitudes contain a higher percentage of the cocaine alkaloid than those grown at lower altitudes and are consequently more potent.

It takes 5kg of dry coca leaves to make about 24 grams of cocaine.. thats with an average amount of alkaloid content

Most of the world cocaine supply is grown in the Peruvian Amazon then shipped to Colombia where it is extracted and purified. Of course other countries contribute to the world supply, but reliable figures put almost 2/3 of the worlds coke from these sources. From there its shipped world wide. FOAFOAF is involved in this. It comes from Peru, via Colombia(where its refined etc.) then Venesuala then by boat to UK and US etc.

oh and this is what ive found as far as manufacturing, though there are no numbers or exact chemicals. so im sketch on how to do it.
if you know any one that has sucessfully done this or are willing to try please tell us, im sure were all curious
There are two ways to do it. One is to synthesize the chemical composition (C17 H21 NO4). This is highly unsuccessful and very costly. The second is to make Cocaine Hydrochloride (HCl). First you must find a coca plant that contains a high enough cocaine alkaloid concentration to be able to separate it. There are over 200 types of Erythroxylum (coca) plants. Only two of the fifteen Erythroxylum plants can be harvested because of their higher levels of the cocaine alkaloid. The coca Species and the Novogranatense Species and only two varieties of each plant can be harvested. (4 total) The percentage of cocaine alkaloid present is about 0.2 to 1%. The plant only grows in S. America and is hard to distinguish from non-cocaine alkaloid bearing Erythroxylum plants. After finding the plant, you must pick the leaves when they have a dingy yellow color and dry them in the sun. Be careful, any rain and the alkaloid will break down from mold. Now you must make coca paste. Combine leaves with water and sodium carbonate; this will allow you to extract the cocaine alkaloid into kerosene. This water immiscible solvent (kerosene) acts to extract water insoluble cocaine alkaloids from the mixture. Agitate the leaves; this is what is being preformed when you see people stomping on leaves in a water mix in the movies. Cocaine alkaloids and kerosene will separate from water and leaves. Strain off the leaf remnants and gunk. Now the alkaloids must be extracted from the kerosene. Do this by adding a dilute hydrochloric or sulfuric acid mix then filter. Then add Potassium permanganate and let stand for 4-6 hours. Filter the paste and add ammonia. A precipitate will be formed. This is referred to as Cocaine Base. Let dry. Now you must convert the cocaine base to cocaine hydrochloride (HCl). Soak the Base in Acetone and filter. Add diluted Hydrochloric acid or Ether and a precipitate will form. Take the white crystals and dry under lamps. This is pure cocaine hydrochloride. Chop and snort, serves all.
hope this is right, keep snortin
