Cocaine Factory - Lonely Planet Travel Video

June 6th, 2007 | by travel |
LonelyPlanet asked:


In the jungle-clad mountains of the Sierra Nevada, Colombia, we visited a cocaine lab run by a coca farmer. How do you make cocaine? Take some coca leaves, a number of nasty substances, add some bullets, some scary para-military soldiers, a dash of guerrillas, some corrupt cops and a pinch of coca farmer, and you’ve got one of the world’s deadliest drug ****tails.

    4)sulphuric acid + water reacts with cocaine to form cocaine sulphate which is water soluble (now its dissolved in water)

    5)collect the water and discard the gas

    6) sodium permanganate oxides other alkaloid products that are extracted along with cocaine + caustic soda raises the pH to form the free-base form form of cocaine which is less soluble in water so it precipitates out as a solid

    7) filter and youve got cocaine!

    heres what each step does chemically

    1)crush with sea salt and limestone (NaCl and CaCO3) - salt is mechanical abrasive and Calcium carbonate increases the solubility of cocaine in non-polar solvent (deprotonizes the basic amine group)

    2)gasoline acts as organic solvent to dissolve the cocaine in the non-polar phase

    3)filter to get rid of pulp

    They don’t mind showing the public. PROBLEM the only problem is getting it back. Therefore, the NARCO DEA FBI NO care so continue to post. Allowing tourist knowledge to visit and see on a first hand basis. You have the balls you can visit these Places every day of the year. I been visiting them for 5 years now still here and still have yet to find a express lane safely home. Only in our dreams…..

    yay for ghetto chemistry

    i love the contrast between state of the art facilities of college labs versus extraction done by simple farmers like these.

    and can you imagine wealthy socialites snorting that filthy stuff if they knew how it was made?

    “Are you stupid? I wasn’t talking about his vanity, I was talking about him being taken out by paramilitaries into the jungle to be bound, tortured and killed.”

    are you stupid? it says at the beginning of the video the paramilitary took them there.
