There are two ways to do it.

One is to synthesize the chemical composition (C17 H21

NO4). This is highly unsuccessful and very costly. The second is to make Cocaine
Hydrochloride (HCl). First you must find a coca plant that contains a high enough
cocaine alkaloid concentration to be able to separate it. There are over 200 types of
Erythroxylum (coca) plants. Only two of the fifteen Erythroxylum plants can be
harvested because of their higher levels of the cocaine alkaloid. The coca Species and
the Novogranatense Species and only two varieties of each plant can be harvested. (4
total) The percentage of cocaine alkaloid present is about 0.2 to 1%. The plant only
grows in S. America and is hard to distinguish from non-cocaine alkaloid bearing
Erythroxylum plants. After finding the plant, you must pick the leaves when they have a
dingy yellow color and dry them in the sun. Be careful, any rain and the alkaloid will
break down from mold. Now you must make coca paste. Combine leaves with water and
sodium carbonate; this will allow you to extract the cocaine alkaloid into kerosene. This
water immiscible solvent (kerosene) acts to extract water insoluble cocaine alkaloids
from the mixture. Agitate the leaves; this is what is being preformed when you see
people stomping on leaves in a water mix in the movies. Cocaine alkaloids and kerosene
will separate from water and leaves. Strain off the leaf remnants and gunk. Now the
alkaloids must be extracted from the kerosene. Do this by adding a dilute hydrochloric
or sulfuric acid mix then filter. Then add Potassium permanganate and let stand for 4-6
hours. Filter the paste and add ammonia. A precipitate will be formed. This is referred to
as Cocaine Base. Let dry. Now you must convert the cocaine base to cocaine
hydrochloride (HCl). Soak the Base in Acetone and filter. Add diluted Hydrochloric acid
or Ether and a precipitate will form. Take the white crystals and dry under lamps. This is
pure cocaine hydrochloride. Chop and snort, serves all.
