Profiles = trios of tidbits on a theme, culled from wherever.
Importantly, these are not things I'm necessarily condoning or identifying with, but they are things that alternately amuse or floor me. Sometimes it's the interposition of some raucous melody over a poignant lyric, or vice versa (and to that degree, it is probably unfair of me to post just the text without the musical complement). Sometimes it's me playing off the irony if something were applicable to me. And sometimes there are just things that become rather risible when you strip them of their context and lay the words bare.
Now that we've cleared that up.
"turning coca leaves into cocaine is a three-stage process. first, the dried leaves are treated with an alkaline solution (lime, sodium carbonate, or potash), which begins to break down the fourteen alkaloids contained in the leaf, one of which is cocaine. the leaves are then stomped in large plastic vats full of kerosene, the blackened leaves removed, and sulfuric acid added to the mix. the substance left at the bottom of the vat is known as cocaine paste. in the second stage the base is usually washed in kerosene again, dissolved in sulfuric acid, and mixed with potassium permanganate and ammonium hydroxide to get a purer form of the cocaine alkaloid known as cocaine base. in the final stage the base is dissolved in ether, hydrochloric acid is added, and the mixture is then dried and filtered until it reaches the final stage, known variously as hcl, hydrochloride, or pure cocaine."
