This is a fascinating 6 minute video, created by a reporter living in Colombia named Matthew Bristow, documenting the process that cocaine goes through from the point at which it is a plant growing in the ground until it is refined enough to actually use as a drug.
They stop just short of the point that it gets sold to a drug trafficker or guerrilla – who further refine the drug.
I feel really bad for the guys in the video as they probably never even heard of the Internet, and as soon as the drug lords find out about the video they’ll be killed for sure. Heck, I can’t even believe that Matthew Bristow is still alive.
Matthew has a blog which documents tons of information about the Colombian drug wars. Much of it is sad, but also quite enlightening.
Update 8/20/2007: I just noticed that Matthew’s video has been removed from almost all of the video sharing sites! I don’t know why, but I hope it’s not because of something evil. It’s still embedded here from one of the only sites I’m aware of still showing it, but if the first video disappears please let me know by dropping a comment below.
Someone also posted another similar video, but not as nicely done:
I use the "No Adverts for Friends" plugin by Donncha O Caoimh
[...] As a follow up to my previous post regarding the manufacture of cocaine, I came across the attached image documenting the process of transforming normal cocaine to crack cocaine. [...]
i recently tried cocaine and didn’t find it to be a horrible drug! The first time I did it I was very careful, i didn’t want to O.D. I found that I was able to function as I normally do! I actually liked it! It gave me a tremendous amount of energy and I completed so many tasks, that without cocaine, it would have taken me weeks to attempt doing them. REALLY…. I feel that as long as we don’t abuse the drug, we should be allowed to do whatever we want with it!
I know what Cocaine did to my son, he wasted away. He tried very hard to get awayfrom this horrible drug, but in the end a bullet got him because he owed money.
So i ask you this.. is cocaine worth it? what it does to yourself, your family, your friends, your job.
the answer is hell no.
if you take cocaine, seek out help! and turn in all the drug dealers
Original video not working for me.
I’ve seen it ages ago but didn’t save it. Can’t find it now anywhere
the first video about “How to make Cocaine” is not loading
it’s been taken down, can some one post a link of where to see it
ok i know how to make this but the problem is the coco plant you can order seeds online and have them imported from canda completly legeal but growing them is harder then anything i have ever tried they died after about 3 weeks what i want to know is is there anything i can use as a substitute for the plant extract itself
