Items found at a meth production lab in Fitchburg, Massachusetts in 2009. Clandestine chemistry is chemistry carried out in secret, and particularly in illegal drug laboratories. Larger labs are usually run by gangs or organized crime intending to produce for distribution on the black market. Smaller labs can be run by individual chemists ...
Chemical structure of cocaine. The biosynthesis of cocaine has long attracted the attention of biochemists and organic chemists. This interest is partly motivated by the strong physiological effects of cocaine, but a further incentive was the unusual bicyclic structure of the molecule. The biosynthesis can be viewed as occurring in two phases ...
The environmental destruction caused by the production of cocaine has been well documented, with reports made the UN and other government bodies. [2] Due to the illegal nature of coca production , farmers make little effort in soil conservation and sustainability practices as seen in the high mobility and short life of coca plots in Colombia.
This is a list of cocaine analogues.A cocaine analogue is an (usually) artificial construct of a novel chemical compound from (often the starting point of natural) cocaine's molecular structure, with the result product sufficiently similar to cocaine to display similarity in, but alteration to, its chemical function.
At least that seems to be the hard lesson that Colombia is learning as deforestation and cocaine production skyrocket following an end to its 52-year internal conflict. The reason is that the ...
The Civil Guard, which said it was the largest seizure of cocaine smuggled into southern Spain by speedboat, posted video on social media showing officers unearthing the alleged drugs.
Coca leaf is the raw material for the manufacture of the drug cocaine, a powerful stimulant and anaesthetic extracted chemically from large quantities of coca leaves. Today, since it has mostly been replaced as a medical anaesthetic by synthetic analogues such as procaine, cocaine is best known as an illegal recreational drug.
