Question Cocaine extraction from clothes.

[drugmolestor]

Hello, dear experts. I have a question on how to extract cocaine from clothes.

I have some t-shirt soaked in cocaine. It's pretty stiff, cardboard like.
As far as I know I have to soak this t-shirt in distilled water, squeeze out the remains and just let this water dry with a little bit of heat of around 40C.

Am I missing something or that's it?

Your missing something. Although I know that sounds good on paper, I've never seen a person successful with dehydrating the water out of cocaine by evaporation. It always ends up being like Karo syrup or caramel you can wring the clothes out and collect the cocaine water, but try evaporating 5-10 ml first, and see what happens. The obvious answer is add a basic ph chemical to the water mixture, deprotonating the cocaine to the base, which falls out of suspension and precipitates on the bottom of your vessel, filter the precipitate off, and rinse it with some water, then you can dissolve it in a non polar solvent,,and bubble hcl gas through the liquid or use acetone or methanol or both and mix it 1:1:1 with 37% hcl get the reaction mixture stirring vigously, dump 0.75ml per gram of cocaine and don't stir it again at all for at least 4 hours

Thank you very much for your answer, I have a follow-up question tho. Could you please be more specific on what "basic ph chemical" is?

not an expert but a soxhlet extractor with gasoline wouldn’t work?

It would have to be basic for it to dissolve in octane
