Ok, kids, let's get a few drug facts straight. Coca leaves = These leaves are used in the cocaine-making process. Natives of Colombia and Peru used to chew on them while they worked for the slight boost in energy. Think of it as chewing tobacco in this country. Coca paste = Also called basuco. It can be smoked, and is not far from becoming the white powder that junkies everywhere love. Cocaine = Powder. It is snorted. A true kilo that's sealed in wax will dip in the middle. Most coke is usually "cut" several times with several different white, powdery substances referred to as "cutting agents." e.g. "The cocaine was cut with [insert name of odd substance here]." Crack = Highly refined cocaine (Meaning, all the little impurities are cooked out of it). It comes in "rocks" and is smoked. Since it's so much more pure, it's more addictive than coke. A dealer will buy some coke, then go to their kitchen, cook it into rocks, then go out and sell it. And something else that bugs the hell out of me: "Crack cocaine." How many other types of "crack" are there? "Crack heroin?" "Crack marijuana?" Please. "Crack" will suffice. Anyone who doesn't know what you're talking about needs to go out into the world.
