Basuco

Basuco (pronounced: ba-su-co) is a form of low-quality cocaine often referred to as "cocaine paste" or "coca paste". It is primarily used as a recreational drug and is particularly prevalent in South America, especially in Colombia.

Etymology

The term "basuco" is derived from the Spanish phrase "base de coca", which translates to "coca base" in English. This refers to the drug's status as a byproduct of the process used to create higher-quality cocaine.

Usage

Basuco is typically smoked, often in combination with tobacco or marijuana. It is known for its highly addictive properties, which are even more potent than those of regular cocaine. This is due to the fact that basuco contains a higher concentration of the psychoactive alkaloid cocaine alkaloid.

Effects

The effects of basuco are similar to those of cocaine, but they tend to be more intense and shorter in duration. Users often experience a rapid onset of euphoria, followed by feelings of restlessness and agitation. Long-term use of basuco can lead to serious health problems, including respiratory disease, mental illness, and addiction.
