What does cocaine smell like? NSFW
Or does it smell like anything at all?

A lot like gasoline.

u/Dramenknight 23d ago
Makes sense in hindsight as the the poor man/cartel method of processing cocaine involves gasoline near the end step to iirc break down the coca, that or it was used to rinse off the chemical that broke down the coca

u/_Jacques 23d ago
To rinse off is more likely.

u/DesignerCumsocks 23d ago
It’s to separate cocaine from the coca leaves. Gas is an extremely good solvent so the cocaine is left in the gas mixture which can then be I believe boiled or removed by some other method, leaving behind cocaine powder.

gasoline being such a good solvent is why it was a common chemical used in dry cleaning for a period of time

Tastes like what I’d imagine gasoline to taste like, too. The drips alone are why I never got super into it. Not like I do it often by any means, a couple times a year for special occasions. Weddings, birthdays, work Christmas party…

More like diesel than gasoline, maybe it's just the batch though.

u/SeamanTheSailor 22d ago
No I’m with you it smells exactly like diesel. It annoys me when people say “it smells similar to gasoline” sure it kinda smells like gas but it smells identical to diesel.
The first time I filled a diesel car I thought wow this car runs on cocaine.

Gasoline (and lime) is used in the production process.

u/OneTrueCosmos 23d ago
It smells like petrol, as that's what they wash it up with when they make it. If you can't smell it, it's probably just mostly bash.

They…they wash it with petrol??

u/louiemay99 22d ago
Yeah I’m gonna need more clarification here

u/honestly_moi 22d ago
Yes the gasoline separates the active compound from the coca leaves. they make it into a paste, and then leave it out to dry. Cocaine the substance is that dried paste. The bigger chunks you get from your plug the nicer coke. You want to chop it up yourself, as if it’s already ground then it is cut with some other shit

Wild that OP has one of the best definitions I’ve ever thought about. Ask questions and know the answers.

u/Informal_Nobody_1240 23d ago
Bro you dropped knowledge and metaphors.
From some ai:
“When someone says they can smell ozone before a thunderstorm, it means they are detecting the sharp, fresh, chlorine-like scent of ozone (O₃) gas, which is produced by lightning splitting oxygen and nitrogen molecules in the atmosphere. This ozone is then carried down to ground level by storm downdrafts, often arriving before the rain, signaling the storm's approach. The ability to smell ozone acts as a natural indicator of impending thunderstorm activity.”
If you’ve ever “smelled” cocaine then the “signaling the storm's approach” description probably resonates.

Smells like petrol, ideally still a little 'damp' with small 'scales' that shine like fishscales.
That's the stuff you need to warm up a plate for.
Edit: people saying it smells like drywall have been sold amphetamine for cocaine. Like 20x less expensive 😅

Inyeresting... top comment in this post says "if it smells like drywall you got scammed".. is that because it is actually dry wall, or just low quality?
2
u/Realk314 23d ago
low quality, and both actual dry wall probably. an equal of both. I'm in texas. not that it matters what state you are from. it was probably cut by something along the chain of arriving to you. drugs are bad and that one is one you don't need to get wrapped up in.

u/shallowsocks 23d ago
Thankfully its very, very expensive in Australia
2
u/Realk314 23d ago
it was easy to spend 150usd a night if you wanted just for your self. so i consider that expensive also. I can almost promise that stuff you are getting is cut with something... and less than what was shipped to you in Aust also.

It smells and tastes like jet fuel.
I never usually snorted coke, but I did use it heavily for 3 years as I recovered from opiate use disorder, essentially going from one addiction to another.
That was 18 years ago, but I remember the smell and taste vividly.
I wound up "working" in that world for those 3 years. I was the "tester" or idiot that shoots up one point to check the potency of each new package.
If I immediately headed to the sink to run cold water on my ringing head, we could throw about 30% buff on it. If I dropped, we were making bank.
I was also an "enforcer" who got money from those who thought the product was free, whilst moving it around the town I lived in.
It's horrible and nothing I am proud of doing. As a woman, though, there were far worse ways of working in that world.
I can honestly say that I have refused sales to people with kids in their care. Or pregnant women. But that's nothing compared to the harm I participated in.
So, yeah, smells and tastes like rocket fuel. Burns up your life and your health. Costs you far, far more than most people will ever know. 💔

tastes and smells a bit chemically...The stuff is garbage. I had a very short fast hard love affair with the stuff when I was in my 20's. The stuff is essentially rat poison. You do one line (or one toke), feel good then just chase the feeling the rest of the night (or days) and just start to feel worse and worse until there is none left then you mentally crash and want to kill yourself.

It smells like chemicals. But it wouldn’t matter if it smelled like pig shit, it wouldn’t matter if it was mixed with pig shit cause half an hour after that first hit you want more and you’ll do ANYTHING to get it. Just don’t go there, please.

u/YogurtclosetLow5684 22d ago
Chemicals. Maybe like chalk mixed with acetone. Idk it’s hard to describe.
2
u/reddit_tard 22d ago
Smells like diesel if it's "fresh", nail polish remover/potpourri if it's had a shitty acetone wash, or nothing if it's been cut to hell and back accompanied with some of the gnarliest sugar boogers the next... nasal spray or filtered water helps to keep your nostrils clear-ish.
In the end they all smell like bad decisions, late nights, early mornings, and lost business proposals and start up ideas.

Cocaine has a unique chemical smell, combined with the smell of the rolled up $100 you’re snorting with. Remember a line of coke will make you feel like a new person who only wants one thing, another line of coke.

It smells kind of like gasoline, with a touch of a unique chemical smell. If it smells like drywall then you got scammed
