The present article documents an authentic process of heroin manufacturing in Afghanistan: white heroin hydrochloride produced using simple equipment and a small quantity of chemicals. The quantities of chemicals actually used corresponded to the minimum needed for manufacturing heroin. The only organic solvent used was acetone, and only a very small quantity of it was used. Because the chemicals used in the demonstration were from actual seizures in Afghanistan, some of the chemicals had been disguised or repackaged by smugglers. Others had been put into labelled containers that proved to be counterfeit, and some glass containers used were not the original containers of the manufacturer displayed on the label. The brown heroin base prepared as an intermediate step in the process shares some of the characteristics of the South-West Asia type of heroin preparations often seized in Germany. The final product of the documented heroin manufacturing process was white heroin hydrochloride, which shares the key characteristics of the white heroin occasionally seized in Germany and other countries in Western Europe since 2000. The present article demonstrates that this kind of heroin can be produced in Afghanistan.
使用简单设备和少量化学品生产出白色盐酸海洛因。实际使用的化学品数量与制造海洛因所需的最低量相符。唯一使用的有机溶剂是丙酮，且用量极少。由于演示中使用的化学品来自阿富汗的实际缴获，一些化学品已被走私者伪装或重新包装。其他化学品被装入贴有标签的容器中，结果证明这些标签是伪造的，而且使用的一些玻璃容器并非标签上显示的制造商的原装容器。在此过程中间步骤制备的棕色海洛因碱具有德国经常查获的西南亚类型海洛因制剂的一些特征。记录的海洛因制造过程的最终产品是白色盐酸海洛因，它具有自2000年以来在德国和西欧其他国家偶尔查获的白色海洛因的关键特征。本文表明，这种海洛因可以在阿富汗生产。
