"Fish scale" is the sorta pinkish flakey stuff and it's washed in ether? I know the fish scale is more desirable, but I didn't know it had anything to do with a particular solvent.

This thread makes me glad I never really did coke

Cocaine was legal in the U.S. until 1914. Cocaine caused too much devastating addiction and mental health damage and nose bleeds.

The only way that will happen, is if they cut them out the Pinochet way. Which happened in the 1970s in Chile.

That was my take on it.

I'm sure that Euros are in awe of the $12 fifths of Evan Williams when the visit here, just like any of us would boast about the $6 bottles of awesome local vodka in eastern Europe.

It's all relative.

Edit: how about those $11 bottles of Cuban Rum in Mexico? You're not getting anything remotely as good as that in the US under $25. It is what it is. It just so happens that Colombia and Peru make cocaine whereas we specialize in tobacco and whiskey

I have always wondered if cubanos covet cuban cigars, or if they wished they had stuff from here. I know the russians would pay top dollar for levis, which i never understood; and that people at fast food places routinely swapped food with each other, which I understood completely LOL

I saw a documentary about the first Mexican cartels. They would launder their drug money via truckloads of Levi's jeans Apparently they've marketed well to the point other countries consider them a luxury item. I had a Mexican national visit just 4-5 years ago asking me where was the best place to buy Levi's

I asked him: why do you want crummy pants?

I read an article in micrograms the dea lab tech publication on how to purify cocaine. Apparently all it takes is turning it into either crack cocaine or freebase cocaine, then converting it back to cocaine hydrochloride with dilute hydrochloric acid.

All that stuff is easy to get. From the sounds of it freebase would be better than crack but either would purify it. Freebasing is what uses ether.

" Of all the nations of the world, the United States consumes most habit-forming drugs per capita. Opium, the most pernicious drug known to humanity, is surrounded, in this country, with far fewer safeguards than any other nation in Europe fences it with.. "it has been authoritatively stated that cocaine is often the direct incentive to the crime of rape by the negroes of the South and other sections of the country".  -Hamilton White

There wasn't a widespread problem with legal cocaine.  The regulation of cocaine was started as a racist thing, much like Michigan's pistol permit system.

ETA: I've never used cocaine, by the time I was old enough to consider it, it was cut with things like levamisole, and then opioids.

Columbia is the capital of South Carolina and the name of a space shuttle that disintegrated reentering earth’s atmosphere.  Colombia is a country in South America.

Ours in Bogota was nice.  Excellent service, too.  There is an area called Zona T that has some great restaurants and seemed safe, lots of night life.  The shoe shiners, fake jewelry sellers and pan handlers are pretty aggressive.  While waiting in Houston to board a flight, a Colombian native gave us advice to not wear any jewelry or talk on the cell phone in public.  Don’t take cabs or Ubers unless you request them, not ones just waiting around asking if you want a ride.  I guess it reduces the possibility of kidnappings.  Also, unlike Mexico, where I can get away with not speaking Spanish, English is extremely limited in Bogota.

Coco leaves are sold everywhere.  I guess people chew them for a “pick me up” like we drink energy drinks.

What is more poisonous for humanity, cocaine, coal or oil?' Petro publicly queried before adding: 'The war on drugs has failed'

Well the war on coal and oil is going to be lost too but I like the way he used it to turn the knife.

I knew the war on drugs was lost when I went to the drug store to buy parapectalin. A anti diarrhea and vomiting med that had per the bottle a quarter gain of opium.

That stuff would stop the dry heaves or vomiting in its tracks. Similar to the nasty  but potent paregoric which was even more effective.

We could buy pot or anything else on the street but could not buy anti diarrheal meds without a prescription.

I’m sure that unadulterated Cocaine is safer than all the backyard meth and that scary ass fentanyl  that people are dying from by the thousands.

Cocaine should probably be legal the only reason it’s not legal is there is more money to be made if it’s illegal.

Idk if it's safe, but there are absolutely areas that maintain an almost constant 70 degrees year round. My wife wants to buy a second house in Mexico, so I started reading about other countries...parts of Colombia looked pretty nice on Narcos...I discovered that there are indeed those temperate areas.

Regardless, it's Latin America. If you're white, you pretty much need to live in a gated ex pat community or downtown in the monied districts if you want safe.

If you wanna live in a tent and do coke all day, Id imagine that personal safety is NOT your primary concern

Holy shit.

I used to watch the Levis plane take off and land at Aguadilla, P.R. back in the early 80s.  The plane was flown by two guys right out of central casting- hawaiian shirts, raybans- no shit.

I thought years later they were Air America, but never considered they actually might be freighting real Levis.  I thought they were just transporting money/coke/whores/guns.

A person can't live in a tent there, do coke all day, and also be safe?
