If you live in Britain, and think you are addicted to water, you might not be crazy

[Slash]

Apparently, everyone in Britain snorts so much cocaine, that they are actually finding traces of it in the water supply.

Interesting article.

I came across that article not long back. I'm very picky about my water qualities, so maybe one type of water has a bit more cocaine in than the others

 

[Liquid]

It's also claimed that all £5 banknotes circulating inside Greater London have traces of cocaine on them.

That's what you get when Charlie Sheen takes a slash while visiting the UK.

I think the problem is that as you find a lot of this in council estates it is that we have just hit the sweet spot for massive crime of this sort.
Some people are poor enough to want to rebel against the system yet rich enough to buy a few grams of drugs now and again.

Really? All the people I know who use coke regularly are in well paid jobs, I'd say coke is much more middle class, illegal pharmaceuticals seem much more popular at grass roots level, so to speak.

Any way, the trace elements wouldn't register in your body. It's much less than the fluoride

Maybe I am thinking more of Cannabis.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Definitely cannabis

Could be worse. Imagine if there was lysergic acid diethylamide getting into the water supply. Now, that would be very bad indeed.

I know people who work minimum wage jobs in the states here and can get ahold of it.

 

[Roger the Horse]

I know how to get ahold of the most addictive substance on the planet for free. Doesn't make that a good thing.

 

[TenEightyOne]

@Slash for sure, and in the UK you'll find coke on council estates but not with anything like the prevalence that you'll find it in the burbs.

@Roger the Horse... you sellin' religion?

 

[Roger the Horse]

Haruhiism is a sort of religion.

This isn't a unique problem:

I've no doubt there are trace amounts of all kinds of stuff in drinking water everywhere.

This is why I only drink special distilled potato water from Russia.

 

[Slash]

I have heavily filtered well water

 

[Azure Flare]

Or as what Russians call it, "drinking water".

"Voda", "Vodka"... Same thing.

try tellinsh that the polis though ossifer.

 

[Danoff]

You can find traces of meth on pretty much any dollar in the US.

Likely. Coke has gotten cheaper over the past decade but the quality is all over the place, and then you have the crack cocaine options as well. Still, I see coke pop up often enough in the working class and more grassy types as well.

MDMA is the current yuppie drug of choice, last I checked.

Could be worse. Imagine if there was lysergic acid diethylamide getting into the water supply. Now, that would be very bad indeed.

So bad it would be amazing.

Coke has got much better over the past couple of years however it is double the price - Rip Off Britain.

Look forward to Dominic Littlewood kicking in the door to some crack houses. That's a response I want to watch...
