Title: Why is Levamisole used as a cutting agent in cocaine anyway? Answers....
Post by: northsidepk on March 23, 2012, 08:49 pm
• Something about the chemical structure of levamisole retains the iridescent fish-scale sheen of pure cocaine, according to a chemist with ties to the cocaine trade, giving cocaine cut with levamisole the same appearance as pure cocaine.
• Levamisole is a bulking agent for crack. The process of making crack involves "washing" cocaine and filtering out impurities and cutting agents. Levamisole slips through this process, meaning you can produce more volume of crack with less pure cocaine.
• Levamisole passes the "bleach test," a simple street test used to detect impurities in cocaine. When dropped in Clorox, pure cocaine dissolves clearly. Procaine (a common cutting agent) turns reddish brown, lidocaine turns yellowish, and other impurities float to the bottom. In a lab test conducted by ­Dr. Clark, levamisole stayed clean and clear.

I also heard that with levamisole the coke goes quicker to your blood and you get stoned quick!
It is also very cheap and every farmer has it!

If you read the link there was some talk about Levamisole being a catalyst for cocaine.

That it may be put in the coke to make it seem more potent.

Among the other reasons
