How Crack Cocaine is Made

by John P.

How to Make CrackAs 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 actually struggled with myself as to whether or not to actually share this information, but ultimately I decided to post it for the following reasons:

  • The criminals already know how to make crack cocaine. It is only the law abiding citizens that wonder what it is.
  • The manufacture of crack cocaine requires that one already possess cocaine. These instructions won’t hurt anyone that doesn’t already have a serious issue on their hands.
  • The information already exists on the Internet.

Here is the step by step process outlined by the “instructor” in the images:

  1. How to Make Crack CocaineMaterials Required: Cocaine powder, teaspoon, measuring cup, pan, baking soda.
  2. How to Make Crack Cocaine Step 2Pour about an ounce of cocaine in the measuring cup.

  3. How to Make Crack Cocaine Step 3Add about a teaspoon of baking soda.
  4. How to Make Crack Cocaine Step 4Fill with about 3/4 cup of water.
  5. How to Make Crack Cocaine Step 5Pour the mixture into the pan.
  6. How to Make Crack Cocaine Step 6The mixture will start to bubble. Get a knife and flatten the bubbles.

  7. How to Make Crack Cocaine Step 7Continue to flatten the mixture while cooking it.
  8. How to Make Crack Cocaine Step 8Continue to cook it until it is solid white.
  9. How to Make Crack Cocaine Step 9Place the solid form of cocaine on a towel or napkin to drain.
  10. How to Make Crack Cocaine Step 10Place crack rocks in freezer for 15-20 minutes.
  11. How to Make Crack Cocaine Step 11Place crack rocks in freezer for 15-20 minutes.
  12. How to Make Crack Cocaine Step 12Congratulations you have successfully made crack cocaine.


If you are here because you are curious about how people make crack cocaine, now you know! And if you are here because you actually want to do it yourself – get help. And I don’t mean getting help making the crack cocaine. Get help with yourself.

Hi, I jst made a batch and it turned into black tar. Man, it strong as hell, but not really saleable here, people are used to white. Anything i can do to recook it and make it whiter. The only additive I used is baking soda.

Also, this is a new venture. We are making the stuff far too strong to make a decent profit, although we are making a profit. Should we cut the raw coke with something? if so, what do you suggest and where do i find it? Thanks

hey chris, i’ve “heard” that some people cut it with wax, it gives it that perfect off-white color and good consistency. of course it is terribly harmful to the lungs, but it’s not as if smoking crack was a healthy activity to start with. oh, and you can try some plain old flour to make it whiter. Just to make it clear, I’ve actually never produced the drug for sale, but I’ve cooked it from powder to rock before – it reeeeally hinges on the amount of cut in the powder; and I’ve had to recook it to be able to actually smoke the shit.

I like how the author eggs on the paranoid drug users while excusing his posting the recipe for a schedule I drug on his blog for, as I saw, no other purposes than that of a user be able to make it. At least I didn’t see any other context.

Normally I purchase my raw cocaine from surplus Police inventory at auction.

Also, I would suggest that you find a way to bake it into chewing gum. My brother and I have a theory that if you combine cocaine with chewing gum you can give the people two things they really love combined.

We have trademarked the term “Crack Gum”, so don’t anyone go infringing on our patent.

Note to the Feds: It’s called humor. Look into it. :-)

what temperature do you cook the cocaine at to get the white clumps but not to burn the crack..thanks

Reply

8 phd April 1, 2007 at 11:28 pm

If you turned your stuff into black tar then you have burned it and your screwed, technically, you dont cook crack, its just a common way to say it. You actually just heat it enough to dissolve the coke and sodium bicarbonate so that you change the cocaine hydrochloride into its smokeable bicarbonate or carbonate salts. You then can cool it to precipitate out the cocaine and then seperate or further heat it to a gentle boil to evaporate the remaining water. So as you can see there is no cooking, just dissolving and if you choose, evaporation. As far as how high the temperature needs to be, when you first combine them and add the water, you only want to heat them enogh to dissolve them, and if you choose to evaporate, you only heat them enough till you see a numerous bubbles every few seconds and the evaporate wich rises up in the form of steam. To avoid burning your stuff, you need to stir it occasionally and not heat it more than a gentle boil.

Geez! How to cook crack! Man better you should offer an article as to where to get help for addiction to crack. I was a crack addict. Being addicted to crack is not like being addicted to any other drug. Crack is an entity! It’s insidious! regardless of the reasons you mentioned for posting this article it’s just tasteless to to do so.
Do you really think people are THAT interested in learning how to cook cocaine to arrive at crack. By the number of comments I think not!

Sorry about my bad english, i hope you can understand it. This is really a strange topic to talk about, but i find it usefull in some ways. I have some family and friends using this drug, and i used to see strange stuff at they´re home, like the soda and other stuff… now i know the reason why they have that.
In another way, it shows people how to do it, but i believe that the problem it is not this topic, but the drugs that are for sale on the streets.
It have helped me to understand why the parafernalya of “stuff” i saw with the people i talked about before, and now i can know if they´re using it or no…
I hope that you can understand my bad english…
Keep away from drugs, they will destroy your family and friends…

what the heck were you thinking? way to go inspire a new bunch of desparate people to create this deadly life destroying drug. You need to get rid of this post. no matter how you try to justify it, this is sick and wrong and you should be ashamed or yourself. This kind of information is even available to kids, and im appauled. Are you trying to start up a crack cocaine brewery with 6 year olds? Not to mention the shifty posts youve been getting. You cant do this! Even if it is all over the internet, with less people uploading this information, it might disappear someday. You say that law abiding citizens are curious, Law abiding citizens dont want to have anything to do with this! this information should be available from government websites that require valid id to access, not some random guys blog! I hope you are ashamed of yourself.

The point to this post should be to warn parents as to the dangers of drugs and to show what paraphanalia is used to make drugs ,not a how to manual.This way if we see someone with glass tubes copper brillo and baking soda we know what someone is up to.And for everyones edification ,baking soda is used to change the ph of the water to help the cocaine oil to precipatate and then bind the oil to the sodium bicarbanate,which lowersthe melting point of the cocaine oil and remove the impurities from the cocaine in its powder from.Anyone who who took high school chemistry would know this.

brewery implies that something is being fermented by the conversion of sugars through a yeast to produce ethyl alcohol and co2. when cooking up crack, no sugars or yeast are involved, and alcohol is not produced. Therefore, he is not teaching kids to “brew” crack cocaine. So instead of worrying about how bad the world is, maybe you should go teach these kids to understand that drugs are bad and that they need to make a decision to stay away from them instead of sheltering them from the world and and making them curious and therefore more likely to experiment with these activities.

I am an ex-addict. I smoked crack for a few years. All I see is a bunch of people like you making HUGE f***ing deals over nothing! You can google anything you want, whether it’s “cooking crack” orfixing your car. It’s not a forum on drugs that is harmful, it’s keeping your goddamn kids sheltered from it. Wanna know why? Because as you go to all these lengths to keep your kids from hearing about drugs, they’re out doing them! So F**k you! What you should be doing is educating your kids on drugs so they know all aspects, therefore diminishing any curiosity. If you shelter your kids, then when they are introduced to it, they wonder why you hid it. Curiosity steps in so they try it, like it, get hooked on it, and then they start pawning YOUR s**t to pay for it. As far as I’m concerned, that’s karma dished out to you. Like buddy said earlier, am I not aloud to read this because you don’t want your crackhead kid reading about something he already knows how to do? Filter your internet and quit your bitching! You’re like a little girl

What happened to free speach? It is our right as Americans. Parents should be involved in their Children’s daily lives enough to censor the information they are given access to. Our rights are being taken from us everyday. Why give them away just because u don’t like some information out there. Do you want someone else deciding for you what you can and cannot know about? Are you too afraid to think for yourself?

36 Jeps May 6, 2011 at 1:28 pm

WOW! Your right as American Citizens? What a joke. There is a reason why you don’t find crack in European countries anywhere need to the extent as the States. This reason is because when we are kids our parents give us small amounts of alcohol- with dinner. Increasing through age. Parents allow kids to try cigarettes and don’t fly off the handle with weed- I know nobody who does anything more serious than alcohol or weed- and I live in one of the roughest neibourhoods in England! Move with the times- your country sucks- realise this, and change it. Thats why every nation outside of America thinks you are f***ing morons!

Reply

37 Vance November 11, 2011 at 8:12 am

I disagree on all points.

1. Most people in Europe love the USA

2. Alcohol is not less harmful than cocaine

3. The main reason you see less crack in Europe ( and there is plenty crack on the streets in England) is because cocaine comes much more expensive here than it is the States.

4. Half of the the people in your country wish they were born American citizens . . . and the other half at least want to move and live in the States.

5. UK (as well as other European countries) are famous for widely spread binge drinking, which I find much worst than doing coke.

6. I personally find smoking cigarettes to be possibly one of the dumbest recreational activities to be shared with one’s kids. But then again, having spent many years living in the USA and now being back in Europe, can’t say stupidity is rare here.

I don’t really give a Goddamn WHO tracks my IP or e-mail address; there are no laws broken simply by doing research for a paper (or anything else, for that matter, except maybe something truly vile, like child pornography) and going to a web site, like I’m doing. Just try to bring it on, all you online narcoswine; last time I checked, this was supposed to be a free country, which includes the right to research anything you want. So again, just try to harrass all of the visitors to this and similar web sites, including me, because I have a BEVY of attorneys working for me. I wonder why the pigs prefer to harrass people doing online research instead of going after the REAl criminals, like rapists and murderers? Could it be due to the fact that’s easier to hide within the anonymity of the internet and harrass others, like the fat, lazy bullies and cowards that they are?

like the fbi DEA are going to drop what they are doing because someone entered a site that talks about how crack is made. They are going to come to your house and say “did you get on this site? are u a drug dealer?” “NO” “ok then sorry to bother you” You are a dumb and no nothing about cops! They do not have time to follow up on Internet users that look at sites that talk about drugs. Need a little more than that to come tracking people down dummy.

My name is Rev. E. Hopkins, I am a former drug user as well as dealer, and the truth of the matter is I have seen it from both sides. I therefore can understand the majority of the comments that have been posted. I was just bored and wondered what information would be available on the subject. We must understand that even before the www and all the information that it bought us, this information was in circulation. And to be honest we have more people to point the finger at then just those who share the recipe, what about those who allowed it in the first place. And what about the info that the CIA introduced it into certain communities. But my post is to offer my assistance with your son. I have been blessed to be a part of quite a few individuals being delivered from that dreaded drug. If you chose too please contact me for results

OK, so, out of pure boredom i searched CRACK ROCK. i think this post is hilarious. To those who say, “There’s little kids reading this garbage!”. Well, hopefully there parents aren’t CRACK HEADS and can supervise what there children and friends are doing. What little children are going out and copping cocaine in the first place?? They shouldnt even be in a kitchen cooking anything, for that matter, regardless. And if they are going to start selling drugs or using it at that age, its coming from an ADULT ! one very fucked up adult

@hehehehe…your so right! First of all, if a 6 yr old is surfing the internet, they should be supervised,…better yet, a 6 yr old shouldn’t even be surfing the internet, if they want to visit a child appropriate website, their parents should get them set up, and they should still be monitored. Also to those bitching about this article, guess what? You can go to Youtube and find similar “how to” videos….some worse than how to cook crack. Kids should be monitored on the internet, period. Besides, if they have good parents who care and are involved…they wouldn’t be worried about their kids seeing this or knowing it’s out there…just saying
