Dirty diaper coke is cocaine that has been adulterated or contaminated with the dirty diapers of cartel members.
It is rumored that during the trafficking process, cocaine that is broken down to be cut and rebricked is often tampered with by cartel members for various reasons. In
2019 videos surfaced on social media of cartel members mixing
bricks of cocaine into a vat containing acetone before adding unnamed powdered adulterants. At one point one of the cartel members also appears to
add a dirty diaper, plastic silverware, and an unknown liquid into the container as him and the camera man laugh and watch the objects
melt into the sludge of boiling acetone and cocaine. The video then
cuts to the men drying the remaining acetone and pressing the cut cocaine into
bricks for redistribution.
