Black cocaine, also known as
Coca Negra, is a combination of regular
cocaine hydrochloride and various chemicals, such as
potassium thiocyanate, usually added at 40%
admixture. This renders it undetectable to drug sniffing dogs and the regular chemical tests. Since the result is usually black, it is generally smuggled in as
toner in fake
IBM or
HP brand toner cartridges,
fingerprint powder,
fertilizer or
pigment. The potassium thiocyanate substance is separated out after delivery with a solvent such as
acetone and discarded.
The Securtec "Drugwipe test" has been one of a few that have worked in detecting the mixture.
