I've read how cartels will ship base methamphetamine from mexico, then convert it to the hydrochloride in the US.
I was wondering if anyone could answer why they do that, but also why isn't this done with cocaine? Perhaps too valuable per gram, perhaps too much trouble? I assume however they smuggle liquid meth, they could do the same for cocaine. I thought I read that base is cheaper than the hydrochloride, so it may make economic sense as well.
Thoughts?
