Levamisole in Cocaine
 

"Doctors say the cocaine hitting the streets in New York and Los Angeles is now cut with a drug that veterinarians use to de-worm livestock, causing cokeheads' skin to rot off."

A friend pointed that article out to me yesterday. Now, what do you bet you'll have to sign your life away to get wormer now (like you have to do with decongestants)

That was my EXACT thought eclipchic! :bored:

Oh great. Now they're going to ban Levamisole because of the stupid druggies out there. We shop in DE since we live close, and they already stopped selling syringes and needles at TSC. :mad:

It really ticks me off how people that are not drug addicts have to sacrifice because of drug addicts. Prescription pain killers is another example. They now load them up with Ibruprofin so they will ruin your liver if used in excess to deter the addicts. Does anyone actually think that a drug addict is worried about their liver?? So if someone is in real pain and needs a heavy dose of pain meds...they risk their liver health. That just doesn't seem right to me. My hubby's liver is probably swiss cheese after all the pain meds he used for days of pain from a botched root canal.

I agree totally. Plus some people (like those with uterine fibroids) cannot take any knid of ibuprofen, since it causes bleeding : (

It doesn't take much for some dummy to ruin it for all the rest of us!! Irritates the crap out of me too!

On another note, personally I don't really care if coke-heads skins are rotting off. Sorry, but I don't. except for the fact that we all pay for thier medical bills....

Agreed = Trailrider -

My vet said they are going to only be making it in paste form or something like that because of how it is being used.

This makes me so ANGRY. Addicts and abusers will find a way to abuse and misuse anything. My local drugstore doesn't even stock original Sudafed because of its misuse. I'm used to having to ask for it from behind the counter, but now they don't even have it in the store. I don't recall what state it was in, but the man who got high off bath salts and killed his neighbors pet ND comes to mind, too. That state is working on banning the sale of bath salts!

Those "bath salts" were never really bath salts at all, and were sold only to be used as a drug, since they weren't illegal.

Normal , REAL bath salts will still be for sale

I love how reporting left that out. The reports made it out to be bath salts that were purchased from the bath aisle were the "poor man's cocaine." What do you bet the lavender bath salts flew off the shelf for a bit... Thank you for the clarification!

Here's some info about it:

Now if we could figure out how to get it into other illegal drugs perhaps they'd ALL die off and we could buy the stuff we used to easily again.

I am so sorry to say this. Let them drug addict go and let them die like I care because we cant even control them. I am tired of this. It is not fair for regular people that needs those stuff for their animals and etc.. SHEESH!

What if we just made drugs legal and held to the same purity standards as other drugs? Then we could all go buy whatever we want because there would be reason to ban anything. The hard core drug addicts would tweak till their hearts exploded, we could buy psudoephedrine (cold meds) again, and everyone would be happy.

I think I'm the last to know about bath salts. Thats a new one. I say let the addicts have the skin rotting dewormer...it will make them easier to catch if they are so obvious

If it rots off people skin, does it rot off animal skin?

Hmmm,

I've used lots of it (on my SHEEP) and never had bad results.

But I don't put it up their noses so that may be the difference ;)

Dump it by the truckloads on street corners, and let them have at it.
