TEK - LeJunk's Cocaine Purification Technique / acetone wash

[radiometer]

When I posted this thread it sat practically unnoticed for a while. Also as I indicated, I lacked the qualifications to know whether or not all the facts were correct.

I'm really glad to see that it has proven useful for so many!

very interesting info LeJunk !
epsom salts, hope they can be found here, not sure swim's ever seen magnesium sulfate for sale before. Organic shops perhaps ?
would the magnesium sulfate method work for obtaining an anhydrous solution work with other chems as well ?

oh, one last thing, would swiy have any experience in working with *simple* extractions for *small* amounts of coca leaves or would that be pushing swim's luck ?

Blushes! Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to go thru with my process. And I'm glad to hear everyone's results were above and beyond their expectations. Good stuff, huh?

Hey, it only took SWIM 4 years, $30,000, and almost cost me a great marraige to perfect it! Keep the results coming. It's great to hear......

your humble servant, Le Junk

SWIM has tried Le Junk's method several times now. SWIM says go to the letter and don't hurry this. SWIM believes it DOES take some time for the cola to settle down after the wash and no matter how desperate you are WAIT. SWIM also does the plate tapping thing and around the 48-72 hour mark believes the result is excellent.

Ah also wanted to say SWIM is in the UK and ends up with around 1.75g from 3.5g

[CircuitBoy]

Someone's pet gerbil has used LeJunk's method four times on batches of coke that originated in the US. Batches were from 1g to about 7g and for 3 of the 4 batches, recovery was in the 85%-95% range (one batch was 61%). SWIM observed that after evaporating the acetone, the resulting residue always had very little in the way of solids in it and was motly a brownish varnish-like resin. Perhaps his US-originated coke is not cut too badly.

Out of curiosity, my pet gerbil wonders what your pet lizard has found remaining in the way of residue, after boiling off the acetone that contains the washed away cut. Anyone?

[lollylouise]

Thank you so much for supplying so much valuable info.
SWIM but some fun powder but it even went as far as to taste a touch like baking soda; needless to say it has been heavily stomped by Baking powder.
SWIM read where dissolving the stomped stuff in 90% or better rubbing, pulling off the liquid, and pouring the alcohol and cocaine on to a pyrex dish to evaporate in the oven would work.
SWIM tried it and after about 10 hrs the plate in the oven seemed to be covered in an oily grime, not a powder.
Any insight on what went wrong and/or how to remedy?
Glad SWIM only did a test patch~

Okay so my badger just brought a gram of coke hoping he would finally get the real product (came as a solid lump) and guess what *rolleyes* it caused "a hard hitting, edgy, ampy, non-social, uncomfortable, paranoid, heart racing, tweeked out, geeked out, introverted, and just plain miserable buzz".

For christs sake. Soo expensive too. Will definately be using the tek in the furture. Nice one

SWIM cleaned up some cola with acetone, made anhydrous using the technique given here.

Something VERY strange happened though. SWIM left the used acetone sitting out for a couple hours, then evaporated it with a blow dryer to see what the stuff removed looked like. After awhile it stopped evaporating -- there was a bunch of water mixed in with it! Does making it anhydrous also make it absorb large quantities of water from the air? SWIM thinks out of 25 ml evaporated, maybe 10ml of that was H2O!!! He has no clue WTF happened. How could so much H2O be absorbed from the air in so short a time?

All solvents absorb moisture from the air. Leaving it out for an hour will allow for a bit of water to get in, but 10 ml.s worth? May I suggest using a bit more mag. sulphate next time. Also, make sure you cover every beaker/container used during every single step of the process. I personally use a watch glass (circular glass cover....looks like a big eye contact). That way you can look thru it while waiting.

It is imperative that you have NO water near any part of this process. For example, 1 gram of pure cocaine is entirely soluble in just .5 ml. of water. Scary, huh?

P.S. Why am I still up at 7AM?

The mag. sulphate he did use didn't even clump up! It just settled as a powder to the bottom, so the acetone was almost anhydrous to begin with. Also, if there'd been that much water to start with he wouldn't have had any cola left after doing the wash. Something very bizarre happened, and SWIM is not sure what. He will closely observe things next time he washes some cola and see if he can figure it out. Maybe he added some water to the acetone after doing the wash, with his head out in the stratosphere somewhere (?).

P.S. the end result after evaporation (i.e. what the acetone removed) was a bitter, very sticky goo on the bottom of the container. Yuck, as usual SWIM was glad to get rid of whatever it was. The cola was not as good as last time, but he thinks that one is the fault of the dealer... the acetone obviously removed less of the non-coke ingredients this time around.

Swim wonders how much powder to cola ratio there should be after the new evaporation method. And how important is this step? It seems no matter how many times SWIM taps the plate the fluffy side still has some cola.

Also. ultimately whats more effective? not putting it in the oven and just let it airdry 48 hours or to put it in the oven and air dry?

By far, letting it air dry on it's own for 48 hours! Best results possible.........

Thank you sir...WHen swim did the oven and tap method it felt ok...definitely higher quality. Swim then just left what was thought was the powdery stuff out and kinda forgot about it he went back to it a couple days later and it definitely felt better then the stuff swim did earlier.

I can't stress enough that patience is the key here. It's like a fine wine, it simply needs time to breathe.

Le Junk

P.S. Huge tip: let your cleaned product air dry for an hour or two and then place the contents into a cigar humidor for 24 hours. Unbeleiveable!

how much cocaine would be lost if swim were to use "hardware store" acetone instead of anhydrous? swim understands everything that has been said above, but he doesn't have access to an oven (epsom salt method) and doesn't really want to buy anhydrous acetone online. swim is contemplating using "hardware store" acetone, and is willing to sacrifice some cocaine in the process. losing 10-15% would be no big deal to swim, so would "hardware store" acetone fulfill my wishes?

Absolutely not! Let me give you a very disturbing figure that you should first take into consideration: 1 gram of cocaine is soluble in just .5 ml.s of water. Enough said?

yes sir.

[smowkah]

First of all i'd like to thank Le Junk for sharing this information.
About that Epson salt, is there an alternitive?
I don't know for sure if SWIM can get that here in the Netherlands.
Hope someone can help SWIM out with this...
Can't wait to snort some pure coke.

Epsom salt is so common, I just can't see them not having it anywhere. Try a hardware store, drug store, grocery store, home store etc. If you can't find it at any of those locations, then there really is one place in the world you can't get epsom salt. The Netherlands!

Le Junk

[smowkah]

OK SWIM try that, then get the rest of the stuff.
SWIM is gonna try to aceton-wash some coke in a week or two.

Have you simply considered getting anhydrous or nearly anhydrous acetone in the first place? According to one person, you can get it on xxx You'll need 99.5% or better. Should be easier to find than epsom salt apparentely.

Good luck. If you lived near me, I'd just let you have some of mine.

hey there everyone.
SWIM can see that there is still a lot of debate over what method works best

well this is the last time SWIM will post this

10g cocaine dissolved in 600mL water
dilute ammonia is added little bits at a time while stirring
impurities stick to rod and also on sides of vessel
base forms and sinks
dry out the base SWIM means completely dry OK!!!!!!!
should get back around 6-7 g of base if using high quality coke
1g of base dissolved in 15mL anhyd ether
.2 mL HCl (38% if possible) dissolved in 10mL anhyd acetone
pour acetone into ether soln and bamm!!!! crystals
filter out cocaine HCl and wash with clean anhyd acetone
let dry and enjoy
this can be scaled up as needed
make sure to capture all solvents used in process because they will still contain cocaine base

SWIM has gotten a lot of harsh remarks over this method and has been put down by even more.
The method works and is still the best method available for the average chemist
This is not a cut paste method or something that has not been proven
so beleive what you will........

and so that all the haters can shut up.....ask LeJunk SWIH can tell you what SWIH thinks about it.....

pics don't lie do they LeJunk??????

oh by the way Junk please don't share the pics they were for you and you only....thnx

In answer to Deckstruct's comments and technique, I can only say this, Deckstruct makes me look like a third grade chemistry level student. His technique is not only infalable, it's ingenious! I have seen the glory with my own eyes as he gave me the priviledge of letting me view the procedure in it's entirety. It is simply amazing! I have not been a member of this forum for long, but I will say this, anyone questioning Deckstruct's method is sadly mistaken. I've seen it from beginning to end and was absolutely blown (no pun intended) away! He's even made adjustments to adapt to todays exceptional crap being produced. He is more valueable to this forum than myself or anyone else that I am aware of. Granted, my technique is awsome, but his is pure Heaven. My hat's off to you Deckstruct! I just wish you could post those beautiful pictures/instructions for all to see, but I fully understand your privacy. But it would definately dispell any and all critics of your process. I have yet to perform your very well instructed process, but you can count on it that I will in the VERY near future. You my friend will be the first to know the results. Thanks again for choosing me to share this with.

your friend always, Le Junk
