This is the way we wash our drugs, wash our drugs, so early in the morning! (A step by step guide) : coke | Torhoo darknet markets
Preface: This isn’t limited to any specific drug, but the people that will find the most use are going to be cocaine and MDMA users, but also any other MDxx, and can even be useful for amphetamines, research chemicals and just about anything you can think of. The main difference will be solvents. If you want to wash coke, acetone will not dissolve coke, but will dissolve some cuts, and leave the coke separate.. or ethanol will disolve the coke and leave the cuts sepeate… but if you want to wash meth, and you use ethanol, the meth will dissolve, so you really just need to know what drugs are soluble in what varying liquids. Sometimes washing is a one step process, sometimes its many steps depending on what you are starting with, and what you want to end up with. There are too many varied substances and solvents to get into each one, so as stated previously, this is geared towards MDxx compounds and cocaine.
I. Acetone Wash
An acetone was is probably one of the easier ones to perform, and I will start off with that, since it is the only one necessary for MDxx compounds.
Key Factor for a successful acetone wash: Anhydrous Acetone. See my other post on how to obtain this, it was too long to include in this one.

How to wash a powder
Required equipment: A few glass containers, a funnel, and coffee filters at a minimum. I HIGHLY recommend getting actual slow/low flow filter paper,its cheap, can get it online even on amazon and it is exponentially better than a coffee filter, especially when dealing with ultra-fine powders. For instance, the average coffee filter holes are 20-30 microns and a slow flow filter is 1-2 microns… and no, if you do 10 layers of 20micron coffee filter, its not the same as 2micron, its actually worse due to all the extra layers for good product to get trapped in. You can use a vacuum flask and funnel if you have one, but otherwise, not really required. My preference for a starting container is a really dark blue shot-glass I've had for years. The reason being, its really easy to see a white powder on it, so I know if I have missed residue when rinsing, but you can use any glass that you think will be easy to rinse and decant etc. You will also want a waste container for acetone. If this is a one time wash for personal use, not really needed, but if you plan to do it often, safe the waste acetone that you filter out, because it has product in it, and you can actually reclaim that later, which is another guide for another time :)
1. The finer the powder the better. Similar to how you want your MgSO4 powdered for surface area, you want your substance powdered for the same reason. Especially with a substance like MDMA that is actually crystalline in nature.. you cant wash the inside of a crystal, in general they are not porous, so you can only wash the outside, so the finer the powder, the more surface area you are going to wash.
2. Put1-2g of the powder into the shot-glass. (It is fairly important to know how much you are starting with, so that you know about what the starting products purity was, or if you seemed to have lost more than you should due to wet acetone etc.)
3. Use your syringe, pipette, turkey baster, whatever you have, to draw up your dry acetone and put the lid back on. For an amount like 1-2g, I stick with a fairly small amount of acetone, like 10ml maybe.
4. Slowly empty that acetone into the shot-glass with the powder.
5. Gently swirl that around to mix it well.
6. Let it settle for a minute (cover with something if possible while resting, tinfoil, mason jar lid.. just something to help prevent more water from being pulled in from the air.)
7. Decant the acetone that is now sitting on top of your powder, being careful not to lose any, into your waste container, using a funnel with a filter in it. The filter will catch any you accidentally spill out while decanting.
8. Repeat steps 4-7 a few times.. I generally do 3, but you can do more,but I wouldn't probably do less unless you really need it washed, and are really limited on acetone.
9. Pull the filter out of the funnel, turn it inside out, and put it back in, but now use that funnel to rinse more acetone back into the shot-glass with the powder. That will help rinse back in any powder that you lost accidentally. You can repeat this step a few times, but you don't want to overflow your shot-glass, so keep an eye, and if its just one small batch you are doing, you don't really have to reclaim from the filter like this if you don't want to.
10. Put a fresh filter in the funnel, back into the waste container, and swish the acetone/powder mix and a really fast dump so that most of the powder goes out with the acetone into the filter. Add more acetone to the shot-glass, swirl and repeat until you get all the residue… like I said, easy to see on a dark colored container.
11. Let it drain through until all the acetone is now filtered into your waste container (remember to keep things covered if possible.)
12. Carefully collect up that filter, and fold it up, and start blotting it with a paper towel. You want to remove as much excess acetone as you can without letting it just evaporate, because that acetone can still contain contaminants that you washed out, and if it evaporates, they are right back in your final product.
13. Once it is blotted pretty dry, you have a couple options… you can use a hair dryer on medium to help evap, or leave it under a heat lamp for a bit, but you generally want to remove from any heat once the acetone smell is gone. At that point, even if you cant smell it, there is still acetone, so leave it out, exposed to the air, for at least another 24 hours.
14. Carefully unfold your filter paper, and use a razor blade to scrape out and collect all your nice washed powder, being careful not to scrape in an overzealous manner and pull up filter fibers etc. You will lose some product in the filter, you can rinse this one again into your waste container for reclaim later if you want.
Congratulations, you now have acetone washed MDMA (or whatever you were washing.)
TIP: ALWAYS pre-soak a filter before use (whether its acetone or ethanol being used, just use the same solvent you are using to wash.) If you dump acetone with product into a dry filter, the acetone races to the top of the filter edges to get it wet, all the while taking product with it, and you really want the product to stay in the very bottom point of the filter to make recollection easier.
TIP: Mentioned before, but always try to keep things covered. If things are filtering slow, something as simple as a large plastic bag placed over the whole thing helps.. keeping in mind that acetone melts most plastic, so don't let it touch.
TIP: If you fuck up, and your solvent was wet, or way more dissolved than you thought would, dont fret, all is not lost. For MDMA it will be a little easier due to its heat tolerance… but just dump everything into a flat Pyrex, waste acetone/elthanol and all, and evaporate it.. just leaving it out will easily get rid of the acetone fairly quickly, but generally your issue is water, so that takes time and heat.. can heat in the oven at 215F, and watch constantly till water is gone, then scrape it up with a razor and start over. You want to watch it because you dont want to keep it cooking after the water is gone. MDMA is fairly heat tolerant, cocaine is not.
II. Ethanol Wash
For cocaine, doing an acetone wash removes quite a few minor cuts, but one thing it doesn't remove is amphetamine or methamphetamine. This wont either completely, but does help a little as well as other cuts. So, you will want to do an ethanol wash/recrystalization. For the laymen, Ethanol is the alcohol you drink to get drunk. The procedure for using, and making it is identical to an acetone wash, with a notable exception of your arent keeping whats in the filter, you throw that out. You then use a standard recrystalization with the ethanol. If you have ever done an IPA recrystalize on MDMA, its about the same. You dont need it to be anhydrous. Not enough room with character limit for the full explanation, so i will do a different post and insert a link here at some point.
III. Chloroform Wash
The third wash I will briefly touch on is chloroform. If you are a kitchen chemist, you probably still want to stay away from this, as chloroform is highly toxic, and even if handled PERFECTLY it naturally degrades into phosgene gas. Everyone remember the opening scene in breaking bad where walter white tosses the red phosphorus into the pan of heated water and kills the one guy and almost kills the other? That's phosgene gas, and something you don't want to fuck with unless you are an actual trained chemist. The reason I mention it at all is, some of us are actual chemists, and others will do it anyways, so I just wanted to put the warnings out there. The main thing you would use it for, is washing out levamisole, which will stay in coke through both acetone and ethanol washes. There is generally another easy way to get rid of that, by freebasing the cocaine and rinsing with hexane, and converting back to HCL.. but that's also very sciency and there is no easy way I can tell you to practice it (like with the salt in drying acetone) without possibly having a really expensive lesson if you ruin your coke, and there is already a guide for that here, so that’s all I will say on that subject :)
While this may not be the most in depth guide ever written, it covers most of the basics that dread users would find useful, and has some helpful tips and tricks that are otherwise not included in other guides I have seen, so hopefully some find it helpful, and if anyone has questions, feel free and I will do my best to answer them

I think you are mistaken with your Ethanol Wash process. Cocaine is ethanol soluble. An ethanol wash is actually a recrystalization, where the material in the filter is waste and the solution contains the cocaine. Cocaine is also soluble in water, so ethanol doesn't really need to be anhydrous. There is a possilbity that unwanted material may be water soluable but ethanol insoluble, that is the only reason I can think of to use anhydrous ethanol.
Looking at your recent wash, this mixup could easily explain your loss during the ethanol wash. Table salt is not soluble in ethanol but cocaine is.
