Can Cocaine Be Whipped?
Question by Richard F: Can cocaine be whipped?
Now I know what this question looks like…a guy trying to invent a new drug. That isn’t the case at all. This question sprung from a conversation at starbucks last night. Obviously, none of us are chemistry majors, but we know cocaine is, in essence, a powder. So we were wondering if it would be possible to create a cocaine “cotton candy” or something of that nature. We don’t plan on it (none of us have ever seen cocaine in our lives) but just for sheer education purposes, we’d like to know.

You’d have to suspend the cocaine in something that could be whipped. and then I’m not so sure you’d want to suck it up your nose. I think (not 100% sure) that cocaine is most effective in your lungs. and not in your stomach.
As for making cotton candy… it’s just sugar, some flavor and some coloring. Cocaine doesn’t have the same physical properties to be spun into small strands.
Maybe a cocaine latte? That would sure jump start your morning. LOL

Glucose has 5 free OH groups on it’s molecule to form inter- molecular H-bonds. Cocaine does not.
No, cocaine will not whip.
