Making Cocaine

man what are on about!!! what you saw here is pure cocaine!!! its the shit they cut it after with whats sick. SAY yes to coke

after i so all thos kimics they use i change the way i use to see it, it's not natural, ill chuw, the leaves better

That is nasty, and to think I used it in the past, to a point, of losing my free will to make a good decision. But the destruction the judicial system did to me for using it, or having it, can never be healed.
I can understand some politicians thinking on taking harder action in stopping the flow of this demon. But in reality you can’t Stop something like this. And by making it harder to get raises the cost and the consequences will create more desperate and violent repercussions. For example gov. make the consequences harder, the suppler get more desperate killings, crimes, robberies, and other crimes. Escalate. Individuals addicted generally good people do things they would not do under normal circumstances. Now on that note. The addict now losses get locked up is labeled and can’t work can’t pay his bill let alone pay out rages fines and legal cost. And the family turn apart. And once the family structure breaks down so does the community as a whole. The cost on fighting it and housing non-violent addicted individuals not to mention the impact on society.
We should educate and help those that need it. To under stand there is a better way of life.
Quit trying to fight a loosing battle.

Come on: your hip , your cool . All your veiwers are doing it........you know you want too!!!!!!!!!!!! !

makes me sick to think how much money I have spent on coca.

the republican party loves cocaine!

Hey, I think I could help clear some stuff up. First I'm not a coke head or something crazy like that (Though I have snorted my share in the past, it loses its fun and romance when you see what it does to people who stay around it.) I also worked at a psychiatric hospital for several years where drug induced psychosis were an everyday occurrence; through that and the knowledge I’ve gathered from the way that I was brought up I have learned what I am about to tell you.
Coca paste is different than cocaine; it’s the second step in the transformation of the leaves in to cocaine HCL or “powder cocaine” and as far as I know, it’s rarely consumed outside of the slums of South America. I don’t know how much cocaine HCL can be derived from a kilo (2.2 Lbs/1000 grams) of paste, but I imagine it’s quite a bit more than that. Then after it gets to the United States it’s usually cut or "stepped on" or "Stomped" to less than 75% pure cocaine. On the streets of Seattle (where I’m sure it’s been stepped on again) a gram of coke goes for around $40.00. However, if a person was to use the coke to "cook" or make crack; it’s usually done with a ratio of 7:1 baking soda to cocaine; I’m sure you can follow the math.... These farmers are getting a raw deal by a few hundred thousand a kilo.
And for the people who think that our government should do something about the flow of drugs in to our society; you need to rethink your philosophy on life. YOU should educate yourself and your children about the “dangers” of drugs. I think progress in society is based on open dialogue between people; not sanctions created by detached policy makers.

Until celebrities stop sniffin' this stuff, farmers are gonna keep cropping and smugglers are gonna keep smugglin', Thank Your TV Celebrities, Oh what a Cocaine smile. terrible, terrible

Everything in Hawaii cost more (including white). Looking at 80 a G everywhere on island. Amazing; these guys get $700 for what goes for $80,000 ($40,000 bulk) here. That is unprecedented.

The people who sniff this @&^$T are dumb!

this is very well put together. i agree, very informative. i did not know that they added gasoline to it! mmm, great information.

Wow they make it look so easy- If only I could get some plants!

cocaine, coffee, cotton, whats the diff? none. we are rapping people of their wellbeing with our habits, because we want it, we want it now, and we don't want to pay too much for it.

I feel like if this were shown in schools, kids would not really care. They would go out and try to make it themselves if they could. A lot of high school kids and younger have no respect for societies or people other than themselves.
This pod was great. It makes me hate drugs even more now... dealers make money off of misery to look glamorous, farmers raise the crops just so they can survive...

The war on pot is the major issue?!?

That was a very well done story. Thanks.

Amazing pod. I never knew that so many chemicals went into said drug and am surprised it does not kill users sooner.

People buy cocaine in florida for $50-120 a gram. I have experimented in my younger years, but I had no idea. This should be shown in drug educational classes, I would not have used if I knew it was processed like that. My friends told me it was "made from nature!" How naive we were. I want to apologize for being part of the "demand". .............Sometimes i wonder, how can anyone do anything to help. How can i, just one woman in florida, change this. And then I feel sad, because i know i really cant.

GREAT POD,

Thank you so much MANUEL

Intense.

Nice coverage.

This is such a twisted world where there is a higher demand for drugs than for food.

amazing to see how it all starts and that its not all controlled by a gang lord in all cases and the fact that they barley make money off of it. Great Pod!

great pod. easy to blame americans, since we are the biggest consumers. but there will always be a market for this. if not here, then europe

you right i can't blame them for creating human misery but they are part of the blame for creating this drug problem in america.

although I dislike both ollie and reagan you cant blame them for the drug issue. humans have always done drugs and always will. no amount of money will stop it.

this government created this drug problem and the america's drug war will never be won thank reagan and oliver north for destorying americans live with cocaine

Great access!

That video was very informative, thank you.

Its kinda scary to think of what the farmers are doing with the left over chemicals after they process the coca into paste. I wonder what the ecological impact is ?

Wow. This strips coke of all the "glamour" and hype that usually surrounds the drug when ppl talk about it.
The plight of the Colombian farmers is made so much more compelling since you actually got access to people who have no choice but make their living this way. The footage of the step-by-step process gave the data and statistics you included all the more impact. Well done

i only did it once unfortunately before I had to quit drugs.

wow really fascinating, great work!

Brilliant!

Really amazing pod, I had no idea that that is what goes into the production of cocaine. I think this could work as a good anti-drug pod because it isn't preachy, it just shows that you are putting ammonia and gasoline into your body....nasty.
