Not as bad as the s**t which some Russian junkies shoot up these days: http://digg.com/news/science/russia_s_new_flesh_eating_drug_epidemic_krokodil_nsfw_due_to_rotting_flesh

I read that article also...scary stuff there...

In soviet Russia, cocaine snorts you!

I hate to burst everyone's "the government is just trying to scare us" bubble, but this is actually quite real. One of my main news sources--a blatantly and non-apologetically left-leaning newspaper in Seattle--has been writing about this for quite a while. Here's a whole bunch of articles with a whole bunch of information:

I think the Nov. 2nd article is the best in explaining how it happens.
dvddesignJun 28, 2011
Easy answer there. It is happening and it's being done at high gov't levels to give legitimacy to the scare. /tinfoilhat
The answer, from a dealer's level, is to test their product's purity and if it's not good, get a new supplier.
I realize that drug trafficking is not the same business as fast food, but if you were buying tainted meat, you'd switch vendors if people started dying.
Right?
canudi9itJun 28, 2011
Best to get your supply straight from the CIA. Cut out the middleman.

We cant get marijuana legalized, so i hate to suggest it, but legalization is the only logical answer. I in no way advocate the use of cocaine but it will be used by copious numbers of adults that would be extremely safer if legal and not making the cartels rich. So legalize & tax drugs already, the war on drugs cannot be won but it can positively effect the economy and stop funding gangsters

You want people on cocaine driving semis behind you on the interstate, running daycare centers at their homes that take care of your kids, handling your payroll system, taking your credit card at the store/restaurant, operating on you in the hospital, piloting the jet plain you are riding in, driving your bus cross country, and deciding whether a gang gets prosecuted for killing someone or not?Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

1. some of those people are already cocaine users, guaranteed.
2. just because its legal doesn't mean everyone will do it all the time. alcohol is legal, but the vast majority of people do NOT show up to work drunk, and those that do have consequences.
scottdaddyJun 28, 2011
You're right Johnnie. Truckers would love it
mediagrumpteamJun 28, 2011
agreed, the more the government can tax illicit drugs, the better off small businesses would be. Just think of the revenue the government could make then give us small business owners a tax break. lol Not that it would likely happen, but I could be optimistic.
dvddesignJun 28, 2011
Oh HAI Johnny!
In any of these circumstances, you've already been handled or around someone who was on illegal substances.
If you think making it legal makes it more rampant, you're a feeble-minded idiot. Smoking and alcohol are legal, yet every day, you're serviced by people who smoked at some point or drank at some point earlier in the day.
Probably to the point where they were intoxicated. And then, so they could handle your righteous pain in the ass attitude, they drank a bit more, smoked a bit more, then came into work.
But, as has been pointed out, if they abuse it and it affects their work, just like alcohol, gambling, sex, or any other addiction, there are consequences if there is a negative impact to your performance.
But you're going to think your angle is right, so my opinions don't count for squat. You go take a valium or hydrocodone with your evening scotch, chill out, and try not to think about all those nasty "addicts" out there that haunt your day to day life.

Dealers step on their product - it's what they do.
The more hands the product passes through, the more stepped on it becomes.
The primary concern for stepping agents is cost. Dealers want to use something that costs as little as possible while being as difficult to detect at point of sale as possible.
They also have a concern toward maintaining and expanding profits - career dealers are unlikely to profit from cutting their product with something fundamentally dangerous that will harm their sales to repeat users. Dealers like repeat users because they are a safe predictable income that is pre-vetted. Finding new customers to replace customers they have lost due to those customers being harmed by the drug and moving on to another dealer, exposes the dealer to undue risk of being netted by law enforcement.
All economic pressures reward dealers for cutting with the cheapest most benign and least easy to detect agent possible. Cutting with this agent mentioned in the article sounds legitimately horrific, but also unfeasibly counterproductive for dealers.
It just doesn't track, and smacks more of hype and yet more dishonesty in the discussion of drugs in society of no constructive value.
johnnysoftwareJun 28, 2011
undue?
UncleTogieJun 28, 2011
Yeah, the risk management numbers for dealers might be a little different than you're used to....
graehJun 29, 2011
Methinx on the subject of drugs, Johnny's software's opinions are informed overwhelmingly by moral considerations, to the point that he's blinded himself to simple language. When straightforward utilitarian language such as "undue" raises questions from him, that's a pretty big red flag that he's not motivated or capable of rational discussion on the subject such as ours.
ryanwbJun 27, 2011
This is just part of the psychological war on drugs, scare tactics.
starmanjonesJun 27, 2011
ya. my thought too. funny how they sort of show up in russia and the u.s. these mutant zombie concoctions... of who really knows what. either scare tactic or new campaign in the war on drugs. sad part is politics being what they are its got to be pretty high on the list of possible explanations.
number4940Jun 28, 2011
100%. It's stupid to say they would go so far out of their way to acquire vet chemicals to cut their drugs with! Besides, you snort enough of anything dry, and you will screw up soft tissues like the nasal cavity. They are just advertising an illegal product with news like this.
mediagrumpteamJun 28, 2011
I am not a supporter of using drugs at all, but I agree this whole "fear campaign" is getting ridiculous.
snafflepaffleJun 27, 2011
Another reason to legalize.
zirchxworldJun 28, 2011
a good reason to get pure cocaine.
ultrasparcJun 28, 2011
Or you could just drink some Red Balls.
yony1Jun 28, 2011
legalize only in Wyoming so all drug addicts can move there
morginoJun 27, 2011
Well now that's just bad business
quintinfieldsJun 28, 2011
Guess it'll be easier to figure out who's a cokehead and who's not eh?
zirchxworldJun 28, 2011
we expect the government to tell us the truth? I think not..
barackalypseJun 27, 2011
I'm not sure I see a problem, except for misguided drug prohibitions that prevent pharma companies from supplying safer versions of the drugs at far lower prices and removing most of the crime and violence from the distribution of these drugs.
icwydJun 28, 2011
No grasp in reality at all. Did it hurt when they removed your brain?
barackalypseJun 28, 2011
What a completely useless comment, you don't even bother to even mention what part of what I said you are disputing. The lessons of prohibition bear out what I am saying. Illegal substances that people demand equates to criminal incentive to manufacture and distribute them. This leads to quality issues and violence.
icwydJun 28, 2011
The reason for the problem _IS_ the big pharma. They don't want you to use something they can't patent. This is the reason Marijuana and other drugs are illegal now. They can't patent it so they don't want it to be available.
Your answer is big business for everything which is the answer maybe one percent of the time so I really have a hard time saying anything when someone is as stupid as you. It is way too much work to fix. You really need complete retraining. Maybe shock treatment would help but I really believe another lobotomy would be better so that you would just be removed from the conversation because your ideas and thoughts are so completely f**ked up that it is not worth even salvaging.
NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND? Probably not. Your kind of retard isn't easily fixed. YOUR CHILDREN WILL HAVE A NAME FOR YOU AND THAT NAME WILL EXPRESS HOW MUCH HATE THERE IS FOR YOU. Most likely the name will mostly mean huge f**ktard!Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

Cocaine is a dangerious drug that ruins lives and dealers will do anything to meet the high demand I know lost thrity years to addiction more has to be done to get drugs out of of the hands of dealers,legaliization would stop some of the sneseless acts that drugs cause.
zbeastJun 28, 2011
My cocaine problem is I can't find cocaine...
drwordsmithJun 28, 2011
There's a Charlie Sheen joke in there somewhere.
dvddesignJun 28, 2011
The answer to the problem is to just buy Tiger Blood™ Brand Cocaine. You can snort it through your Adonis™ Coke straw, all available at CharlieSheen.com.
It's SO pure, you can quit it anytime you want.™

That what mommy and the big state police told you in middle school? Aww...
weapongod30Jun 28, 2011
Drugs like heroin? Those are definitely bad for you. I don't need the "big state police" to tell me that to know it.
snafflepaffleJun 28, 2011
Heroin isn't nearly as bad as you've been led to believe. Mostly what's bad about it is the life of poverty and crime that people who are addicted to it are forced to live. If we cleaned up the supply, gave people a clean and safe place to do their drugs while giving them a bit of help getting OFF the drugs, we'd eliminate a lot of misery in the world.
pendrachkenJun 28, 2011
So does life, I haven't heard of anyone who regularly got high on life not dieing at some point. Even life users who hate it die, sometimes even by quitting.
Face it, everything and anything is bad for you. Microbes in water and food can make you sick, naturally occurring isotopes in same water and food are harmful... hell even sunlight which is needed to produce vitamins that are necessary for health is almost as harmful as it is beneficial.
ihookupvegasJun 29, 2011
That explains all the funny looking people in the vegas nightclubs...
agmlauncherJun 28, 2011
So? If people want to assume the risks of getting high, then let them pay the consequences.
laurahoustonJun 28, 2011
we pay from our taxes to care for them.
This articles pretty good and talks about a lavamosole test kit. They also mention how the wormer is used because it passes the purity test and looks the same color.

sounds like a local stepping on the blow who does not know what they are doing.
there's really no valid reason for exporters to do this.

Fortunately, the effects are not noticeable on zombies.
neurosineJun 28, 2011
I remember hearing, some time ago, that the same thing was true of marijuana going around. I'd be more concerned about the boneless catfish restaurants. I wonder if they started the rumor as a red herring? (pun coincidentally intended)
