Illegal drug trade - Manufacturing and processing | | Illegal drug trade - Manufacturing and processing: Encyclopedia II - Illegal drug trade - Manufacturing and processing | | Illegal drugs can be broken down into two major classes: those extracted from plants, and those synthesized from chemical precursors. For the first class, such as cannabis and cocaine, the growing area is important, and substantial farming is needed for mass production. For the second class, such as MDMA and methamphetamine, access to chemical precursors is most important.

Illegal drug trade - Manufacturing and processing
Illegal drugs can be broken down into two major classes: those extracted from plants, and those synthesized from chemical precursors. For the first class, such as cannabis and cocaine, the growing area is important, and substantial farming is needed for mass production. For the second class, such as MDMA and methamphetamine, access to chemical precursors is most important.
Major drug farming and manufacturing countries include
- Colombia and other Latin American countries, mainly for cocaine
- the Asian Golden Triangle of border areas of Thailand, Burma and Laos, for opium
- the United States, for methamphetamine
- Afghanistan and border areas of Pakistan
Synthetic illegal drugs can either be manufactured in the country of consumption, or abroad.
For the most part, the manufacturing of botanically-based drugs consists of several layers which may be isolated or conglomerated: growing and harvesting, initial botanical processing, chemical processing, and final processing.
The initial botanical processing prepares the plant for chemical processing, by cutting, drying if applicable, separating parts with a low concentration, and etc. The chemical processing extracts the drug, and the final processing sizes it, provides assurance of quality, packages it, and may convert it to another form (such as crack from cocaine).
