Black cocaine

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Black cocaine (Spanish: coca negra) is a mixture of regular cocaine base or cocaine hydrochloride with various other substances. These other substances are added
* [[to camouflage the typical appearance (pigments and dyes, e.g. charcoal),
* [[to interfere with color-based drug tests (mixing thiocyanates and iron salts or cobalt salts forms deep red complexes in solution),
* [[to make the mixture undetectable by drug sniffing dogs (activated carbon may sufficiently absorb trace odors).
