Question

What does cooking drugs mean and why does it make it worth more?

Answer 1

To dilute or concentrate a drug, making more of it, more to sell. ^^

It generally means cutting it, when someone gets a pure drug like cocaine, you mix something like powdered sugar in it to make it weigh more etc.

But a better explanation is like the way crack is made The coke is dissolved in baking soda and cooked up on the stove. Making it diluted, and smokable form etc.

Same with heroin powder heroin is transformed into tar type. Shoot up version.

And cooking a drug kind of means making a drug from scratch. Like crystal meth, PCP etc. Cutting a drug is what makes it worth more because you can sell more.

Answer 2

Like "cooking" methamphetamine?  Or making marijuana brownies?
