And That's Why It Vaporizes At Such A Low Temperature - Tumblr Posts

this made me curious and I ended up reading a bunch of the wikipedia article on cocaine and also some lists of slang for it and here are my takeaways:

idk about regular cocaine but crack cocaine apparently vaporizes at around 200°F. I don't think I've ever baked bread below like 400°F so I guess you have to specifically not use crack cocaine in the story, unless it's just in, like, fillings? but crack cocaine is for smoking I think so this might all be irrelevant anyway

one slang term for cocaine is apparently "white girl." I propose to make the baker a white girl and call the story, like, "the white girl's bakery" or something

i want to write a horror story where a baker is secretly putting cocaine in their pastries and has gotten the whole town addicted to

based on the fact that there is a traditional medicinal tea made from the leaves of the coca plant (from which cocaine is derived) (btw coca leaves/tea are essentially harmless and it's only the concentrated form of the cocaine chemical that's bad) i would guess that the whole mixing it with baking soda thing for the process of making crack cocaine does something to it and that's why it vaporizes at such a low temperature bc that's (just barely) below the boiling temp of water (212°F) and tea is made with boiling water so if the tea is medicinal then it probably still has the chemical constituents anyways there haven't really been a lot of studies on whether or not this medicinal tea is actually effective or it just works bc tea is tea so all this isn't really very helpful for determining that. probably you could just look it up also. disclaimer i know Nothing aboht recreational drug use ok well not nothing but Very Little so all of this is just stuff i read on the internet drug horror tw drugs cocaine
