- Subject: Crack and Freebase
-
- I want first to express my personal opinion that freebasing is
- a very bad thing to do for your body and mind. I have seen a few
- people hooked on it, and it is not a nice thing to see. I strongly
- disrecommend doing it. It is easy to overdose and die of cardiac
- arrest. Some people doing freebase will exhibit the same kind of
- behavior as those rats whose pleasure centers are electrically
- stimulated: they will do it until either the supply runs out, or until
- they die.
-
- The recipes are readily available. In fact, a few years ago,
- police officers would go to great lengths explaining how crack was
- made when given interviews (at least in Montreal)! There was also an
- article in Time a few years ago explaining the procedures.
-
- I have never tried any of those procedures or smoked freebase,
- and will never do it. The information I post comes from a used booklet
- I bought a long time ago ("Cocaine Handbook", by Davis).
-
- Crack is actually a impure form of freebase. Procedures for
- both substances are based on the fact that while cocaine hydrochloride
- is very soluble in water, base cocaine is almost insoluble.
-
- freebase:
-
- mix about 1 g of coke in 10 ml of water in a small vial.
- Slowly add drops of ammonia to the solution. A white milky precipitate
- will form. Stop adding ammonia when additional drops no longer result
- in precipitation. Add 5 ml of ethyl ether, close vial, and shake. The
- precipitate (freebase) will dissolve in the ether. Siphon off the
- ether with a pipette (ether and water don't mix), and slowly drip it
- on a plate. As the ether evaporates, white crystals will form. This is
- the evil freebase. Crush the crystals and put under a heat lamp for at
- least 24 hrs to let the solvent evaporate.
-
- ETHYL ETHER IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. IN THE PRESENCE OF AIR IT
- CAN FORM PEROXIDES WHICH WILL SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODE! ALSO, ETHER CAN
- "CRAWL" FROM AN OPEN BOTTLE AND TRIGGER AN EXPLOSION MANY FEET AWAY.
-
- This is how Richard Pryor almost died. A lot of untrained
- people killed themselves doing that procedure, and this is why crack
- is now more popular.
-
- crack:
-
- mix 2 parts ok coke HCL for 1 part baking soda in 20 ml of
- water. Heat solution gently until white precipitates form, and stop
- heating when precipitation stops. Filter and keep precipitate. wash
- precipitate once with water (this procedure usually omitted in street
- product). Dry 24 hours under heat lamp. Voila. The product is much
- less pure (there is lots of baking soda left) but the procedure is
- safer.

-
- insofar as cocaine use is concerned, i have - after many years of
- foolishly self-destructive behavior - discovered a very nice way
- to do coke. take a nasal decongestant sprayer bottle, empty it.
- take a small amount of powdered cocaine - 1/4 to 1/2 a gram - and
- dissolve it in maybe a cubic inch of water. add a drop or two of
- vodka or other ethanol. stir it. the cocaine dissolves into the
- water, leaving the cut(s) on the bottom, a side benefit i didn't
- originally anticipate. pour the solution - a 7% solution, if i may
- offer a nickname - into yon vile vial, and apply to your nasal
- cavities, judiciously.
-
- if overfilled, you will get a jet of solution. otherwise, you get a
- nice mix of solution and air in a mist that dissolves easily into
- your nasal passages, with consequent bodily effects approximately
- equivalent to a cup of coffee. this is advantageous for many, many
- reasons ...
-
- (a) no waste. you get exactly what your body can absorb, and
- no crumbs clinging to your nasal passages and falling down
- your front. you don't get so much that the effect borders
- on toxicity, as you do when doing lines. and you can make
- a 1/2 gram last up to a week, in this fashion.
-
- (b) no paraphernalia. this fits nicely into a night bag with
- toothbrush or toothpaste, and is bust-free, in the car, on
- one's person, at one's desk, or crossing international
- borders. no razors, no straws, no mirrors, no 'bullets' or
- little brown vials waiting to fall out of your pocket.
-
- (c) no addictive sequence. it's much easier to forego tooting
- when using at this level, and put it aside for the night,
- instead of staying up 'til the wee hours. and it combines
- with being productive about the same way that coffee does.
- ( i have also applied small amounts of methamphetamine in
- this fashion, with similar low-impact effects. )
-
- It's really a shame that the Establishment doesn't apply itself to teaching
- people how to use drugs intelligently and creatively, since, clearly, such
- paths to competence and maturity exist. If I had known ten years ago what I
- have learned through much reading and thinking, I would have saved myself a
- lot of money, and, more importantly, a lot of grief and self-destructive
- behavior which I have, fortunately, survived.
-
- Please perpetuate this information as widely as possible, the better to teach
- people how to avoid addictive behavioral sequences while continuing to explore
- the realms of awareness in a mature and thoughtful manner.

- Let me first say that this is also freebase. Its not as pure
- as the other recipe and has a *much smaller return* than using
- ammonia (no one really does the ether part, just ammonia and heat it).

-
- After gentle heating, it will float to the top, any excess soda
- will precipitate to the bottom. Given that, you'd never filter
- it, and the 24 hour heat lamp thing is unrealistic, too. Note that
- what you're trying to do is start and sustain a chemical reaction
- (bonding the hcl with the base-soda) so as long as the reaction
- is happening you don't have to continue heating.
