Why you might be scammed by so-called pure coke ? An element of response. : coke | Torhoo darknet markets
Hi there !
I'm not a chemist, but since I was just scammed by a seller who sent me some cocaine that only made my heart race without any other effect, I looked into the question of HPLC-UV tests. Here's a partial answer I got by doing some research. If anyone here has any chemistry knowledge (and not just lame theories), feel free to contribute.
Summary : Why ~90% HPLC‑UV Purity Doesn’t Guarantee Real Cocaine
1. HPLC‑UV measures total UV-active compound content
A ~90% result means 90% of the sample absorbs at the UV detector’s wavelength, not necessarily pure cocaine.
Common UV-active adulterants like caffeine, lidocaine, phenacetin, benzocaine, levamisole, etc., all absorb UV and contribute to that percentage
2. These adulterants co-elute or overlay on the UV trace
Method development shows that cocaine can co-elute with phenacetin, and caffeine can overlap with lidocaine/levamisole at typical HPLC conditions. If chromatographic separation is imperfect, UV peaks merge, inflating the “cocaine” area.
3. Large-scale forensic findings back this up
Analysis of 512 Brazilian street samples via GC‑MS revealed groups with 50–20% cocaine and 60–80% caffeine + lidocaine, despite “purity” >90% under UV
A Brazil study (31 samples) found caffeine and lidocaine present in 76% and 67% of samples, respectively
Another survey of seized cocaine showed nicotine, phenacetin, diltiazem, etc., among most frequent adulterants
4. Real effects: no high, but strong cardiovascular response
Caffeine, ephedrine/cathinones, and anesthetics like lidocaine can raise heart rate and blood pressure without triggering dopamine-driven euphoria.
This matches testimonials: strong tachycardia and numbing sensations, but absent usual cocaine high.
5. How to get the true composition
Only structural identification via GC‑MS or LC‑MS/MS can accurately quantify each molecule (cocaine vs adulterants).
HPLC‑UV alone is a fast screening method, but non-specific and susceptible to matrix effects. UV-DAD helps, but mass spectrometry is necessary for precise profiling
