That would be quite the moral quarrel... My logic behind that would be that it's not illegal by any means and I could get it purer than any person
they would get in contact with. I would probably do it just because I enjoy the concept of being paid for manufacturing common chemicals.
Un-irregardless, it is indeed used to cut cocaine. It's sold only as a topical gel (because nothing ever is just pure powder) and so it's not as easy
to get it in powder form.
I remember that corn starch was another tell that your dealer is good. It protects some nasal mucus membranes that cocaine seeks to destroy.

The amount of benzocaine needed to get high is lethal, so it cannot be used on its own for that sort of recreation. Being able to poke pins into your
hand is fun though, but only when you can't feel the pain.
IIRC, it's illegal (in many parts) to claim to sell drugs. For instance, selling powdered sugar as if it's cocaine.
But heck, you could sell as much benzocaine as you wanted, as it's not illegal.

@ Awesomeness -
That would constitute aiding and abetting the manufacture and distribution of an illegal substance, and is punishable just as harshly as the crime
itself.

Wait, selling benzocaine, or selling materials as if they were illegal substances?

Huh? If I were to synthesise and distribute benzocaine on craigslist by the kilo, surely there's no law against that?
Isn't that the essence of debate right now?

People use it or teething powders to cut cocaine so they can get more money for less coke.
How do I know?
We have the police come and give drug lectures at school, I didnt know anything about drugs until they started doing this. Now I even have a pretty
good idea how to grow a herbal plant that soothes the mind
Dont ask me, I only know enough to be dangerous

Sure, if you cut cocaine with it, but if it was benzocaine on its own, I don't see a problem.
It's an OTC product.

… but seriously folks
No actual coke dealer would cut his product with benzocaine. Especially if it were powder he was dealing (water-soluble cocaine HCl) the benzocaine
wouldn't even dissolve in water if the customer cooked it, and it would stay in one's nose like sawdust if one was a snorter of the drug.
I don't know how benzocaine might smoke (vaporize). I suppose if a dealer of crack or rock (freebase) figured out a way to mix his freebase with
benzocaine, it might physically work. Interesting…

As a rule of thumb, never believe in drug information provided by the school.
OnT: Is PABA available in any otc product of some sort?
Would like to try this preparation, without going via the para-nitrotoluene route.

PABA is used as a nutritional supplement, try looking for it in health food or vitamin stores. If not, look online, nearly every nutritional
supplement retailer sells PABA reasonably cheaply.
