How is cocaine made?
<|assistant|>
Cocaine is usually made from the processed leaves of the coca plant, which grows in certain regions of Latin America. The leaves are first left to dry in the sun and then processed in various ways to extract the drug. One method involves making a purée with the leaves, water, and other additives, and then refining and crystallizing the mixture to obtain cocaine base. Another method involves the synthetic extraction of cocaine using ethylene dichloride.
