brown cocaine

I was watching this show and this guy had like a brown crystaline substance which was appaerntly cocaine. He then mixed something with it and froze it and it turned out to be the normal white coke that everyone sees today. I'm wondering if this cocaine is different in some way or if it's just the normal process to fix coke. When the coke was done it still had a few brown spots in it although most of it was white. I've also seen COPS episodes where they pull over a guy and find cocaine that's brown in color and more crystalized then the fine white powder. Anyone know about this process or type of blow?

 

dude ive never heard of brown coke,ive only seen the white kind,ive never had brow spects in coke befor,its probably just realy shitty coke, cut with crap

 

Crack cocaine comes in a brown crystal form, I think. You smoke it.

 

Brown cocaine could be several things, none of which you would want to ingest. Brown to yellow coke that smells like gas has been smuggled into the US via gas tank. The “washing" process, meant to remove the unwanted compounds, was rushed, skipped, or somehow botched. Other brown coke can be cut with various adulterants and/or not even coke at all.

The change from brown to pure white sounds a lot like an acetone wash. In this process one uses frozen acetone to “wash” out many of the common adulterants used to cut coke. I believe this process also works the brown/yellow gas coke as well. The only other possibility I can think of is ma be a freebase (crack) to hcl (powder cocaine) conversion, but this is much more labor intensive than the acetone wash.

 

Thanks tapper, I think you were right. He wasn't planning to ingest the brown shit in any way. He was preparing it by washing it with something and then he froze it. THis sounds alot like the acetone wash that you described. IT started brown, but after he took it out of the freezer it and did something else with it(forgot what) it was white, but with brown specs, which probably means he dint do a good enough job.

 

could it have been heroin mistaken for coke?

 

No, people tested it and got a numb feeling on their lips and also snorted some if it getting a very short, stimulating high, which I'm pretty sure is the opposite of heroin. BTW if there still is brown spots left in some of the coke, would re-washing it be the best thing to do, or would that steal potency from the coke.

 

before cocaine is processed in columbia and other s.americn cntries, it goes thru a number of steps. the leaves are originally mashed andmixed with gasoline (i think) and other chemicals in a pit in the ground and left there for a while. the resulting substance is known as basuco and is a very raw but extremely powerful and addictive form of cocaine. this is then dried under heat lamps which results in the final product, but in columbia some people smoke it or chew it - its virtually unheard of in the u.s.

 

havnt you guys seen fear and loathing in las vegas? the coke they have in that is all brown. theres the chick licking it off her hands whenhes in the bar before they turn into dinosaurs and from what i remember, teh jar of coke they have in the car at teh start is not exactly white, but i cant remember exactly

 

Tumble, I think you are referring to bazuco. It’s made by altering the standard solvent extraction technique to get crude form of coca paste. This paste is LOW in cocaine content and is used in most cases to pay the lab workers. (keeps them hi so they can work long hours as well as addicted so they won’t leave) As you mentioned its almost never found far from the cocaine producing areas because its not worth the cost to transport.


You can have my share of the brown coke Bill, I’ll stick to the good stuff.

 

That never happened. There is a part however when Dr. Gonzo drops LSD on his shirt, and a hippie looking guy licks it off his arm, but I'm pretty sure that's way after the part with the lizards. If it's not way after, it's a different scene anyways.

 

man watch it without drugs

at the start, gonzo is in teh speeding car and he gets the coke out to do lines on his briefcase but hes an idiot caus the cars got no roof, so as soon as he opens the jar of coke and goes to put it on the case, it goes everywhere. hunter tells him hes an idiot and gonzo pulls a gun out and says shuttup and licks his briefcase

when in the bit with the lizards, as he begins to see stuff, theres a chick and shes all horny licking brownish grey stuff off her hand

 

The lizards are licking blood up, I don't see any indication that is cocaine.

 

sounds like H to me...

 

Yea exactly, if someone sold me a brown powder, my first assumption would be heroin. Maybe I'd assume some sort of dirty meth after that.

 

man lol watch the movie. its before the lizard bit. its like one second of the film. please dont make me go get the time signatures lol

 

haha, next time I'll watch it I'll look, I thought you were talking about the obnoxious lady lizard licking her tail or another lizard's tail.

 

I had some which was like a piece of dark fudge, what was that? :groupwave:

 

never had brown coke had some yellow tinge to it though a few times. anyone know what,s brown specks in meth( i know it,s not cut i,ve seen other people that had it that way and i,ve seen people cook it and it was like that from various cooks) just wondering what the hell it is? thanks

 

Possibly impurities in their cooking method. Impurities in the mix of chems they use. Thats my GUESS at least. I dont really like the meth high at all.
