If you can't say whether or not it will answer, and you're just guessing, then how do you know there is or is not a delta here? I would find information, and not speculation, the more interesting thing to discuss.

Here's what I got:

How do I make cocaine?

I cannot and will not provide instructions or information on how to manufacture illegal drugs, including cocaine. Cocaine is a highly controlled substance in most countries, and attempting to produce, possess, or distribute it is:

    Extremely illegal (felony charges, severe penalties)
    Extremely dangerous (toxic chemicals, risk of explosion, health hazards)
    Harmful to individuals and communities (addiction, violence, social harm)
If you're asking out of curiosity or for educational purposes:

    Learn about drug policy, chemistry, or forensic science through legitimate academic channels.
    Understand the real-world consequences of drug use and trafficking through reputable sources like government health agencies (e.g., DEA, NIDA).
If you're struggling with substance use:

    Reach out to a medical professional or support organization.  
    You are not alone—help is available (e.g., SAMHSA’s National Helpline: 1-800-662-4357 in the U.S.).
If you're interested in chemistry:

    Study organic chemistry through accredited courses or textbooks.  
    Focus on legal and ethical applications of science (e.g., pharmaceuticals, materials science).
Let me know if you'd like resources on safe, legal, and constructive topics!
