[@keithjurena9319]

The initial process is a solvent extraction at high pH. Portland cement or slaked lime assure high pH. The second step is acid precipitation. Sulfuric acid is used as it also precipitates any calcium from the lime or cement. Crude paste is further refined by a second acid-base extraction yielding the chloride salt which is what is snorted.

[@Knockouts_Republik]

Send me your product to sample. 😂

[@lootbird]

But they used to use ether and other products and now since the late 80s and the just say no campaign the blocked the chemicals needed for clean pure processing and that why they use diesel now, not gasoline or petrol”.

[@marty3076]

It's Australian dollars so nearly half in USA dollars. On top of that Australians never sell pure it's always cut half and half a half again as it goes down the chain because they are so greedy. So a kilo will be cut up to a million.

[@dorkbrandon4422]

Probably because they know that dealers through the chain keep cutting and adding glucose and whatever else so by the time the mugs buy it from the street dealer each wrap has less than 30% coke in it whilst charging 40 plus bucks for it
