I got a better idea. How about you just realise that doing cocaine is about as unethical as running over a dolphin in a humvee and stop doing it. Cocaine = Slave labour, literally

Retard #2 here.

@3 Why do you think that America is the only western country that abuses coke and hence supports slavery. But well spotted that I'm not from Seattle.

@4 Good point. It'd be good if people didn't try Coke for the first time because they were aware that it is made in the equivalent of sweat shops.

@7 I am saying 'Stop doing it'. But I'm saying why. There's no reason to stop doing a recreational drug if it's not hurting anybody. But it is hurting someone every time you do a line. That sucks. Switch to something else.

You have got to be kidding.. right?? WTF? NONE OF YOU BRAINIACS CAN COME UP WITH SOMETHING SIMPLER THAN A METH LIKE LAB??...seriously, come back when you have where you can put a gram of coke in a glass, add one part water, one part of your tester, and if it turn red it POSITIVE! You can buy a 40$ test kit at walgreens that detects 7 diferent drugs.

14 For what's it worth: boric acid and its salts were recently (2010) found to be much more toxic than initially thought, causing damage to the unborn child and fertility of both sexes. It is being phased out curently in the EU under the REACH program. Not that that will withold unscrupulous distributors of cocaine of course.

According to Rev. Bras. Cienc. Farm. [online]. 2003, vol.39, n.1, pp. 71-75, of the seized samples of Sao Paolo in 1997, 3.8% contained borates as a diluent.

When such a case is suspected, I suppose one could use those borate test strips, commonly available from pool supply houses.

Sodium borate can be removed by its insolubility in alcohol, or maybe by precipitating with metal ions as insoluble borate salts (many metal borates are insoluble).

I have a far simpler test method. When you pick up your Kilo just find a crack head and give it a couple 8 balls, a few stems and lighters and lock them in a closet with it. Then just open it up in 3 days and see if they are dead covered with oozing lesions or looking to buy more! lol Another technique to clean up crack infested hoods is to rock up a batch with 50% sodium cyanide(much cheaper then potassium cyanide), package it into 1/2 gram packets and sprinkle them here and there in areas heavily infested with crack heads such as Wall Street, country clubs, police stations, the white house... Basically anywhere people that can still afford cocaine are found. When they see someone try it and tip over dead they will assume it is really good shit and fight to the death over the pipe and remaining product so each packet can eradicate 3 or 4 undesirable criminals and leeches from the white collar welfare role that is crippling the nation.
