Matthew Bristow, a journalist working in Columbia films how it is done, starting with the stripping of the coca bushes, putting the chopped leaves in a big pile, then the adding of the following healthful ingredients...
- cement
- caustic soda solution
- ammonia
- gasoline
- quicklime
- gasoline again
- sulphuric acid solution
- recycled gasoline
- fresh gasoline
- sulphuric acid
- ammonia
After a bit of mixing ( people kicking the treated leaves and chemical mixture about wearing wellies and shorts, then more mixing using plastic barrels and buckets and sticks )and filtering ( through dirty laundry) you get cocaine alkaloids, which makes the base. Which is then sold to guerillas for $800 a kilo. Also from Matthew's excellent blog, an interview with Professor Gary Becker, winner of the Nobel Prize for Economics, about the War on Drugs

Why? Read on...
Fascinating stuff.

I grow my five marijuana plants in organic soil and use seaweed and natural organic fertiliser. The illegal drugs market is the source of much misery and environmental damage.
