Up To 90 Percent of US Money Has Traces of Cocaine
mmmscience writes "Scientists have found that up to 90% of US paper money has some cocaine contamination, up from the 67% mark measured two years ago. Looking at bills from 17 cities, it's no surprise that the city with the highest level was Washington DC, where up to 95% of bills gathered there tested positive. From a global standpoint, both Canada and Brazil tested rather high (85% and 80%, respectively), but China and Japan were well behind the curve at 20% and 12%. The researchers hope that studies such as these will be of help to law enforcement agencies that are attempting to understand the growth and flow of drug use in communities."
I think this was actually Obama's Stimulus Plan... how else did he plan to spend $878 Billion so fast?
Jesus Obama is a known coke head, and now he has his hands on trillions of dollars.
It's not IN ITSELF that big a deal that there's a detectable amount of cocaine on most of the money.
The problem is that that amount is sufficient to get a drug dog's attention and that in turn is deemed 'sufficient' cause to confiscate the cash. Once they do that, it's difficult and expensive to ever actually get it back. Most are forced to just let it go.
Lets just say I wouldn't ever want to be in any airport or anywhere in Louisiana or Texas (amongst others) with more than pocket change in my wallet.
Perhaps with enough studies like this the courts will be forced to finally admit that trace amounts of cocaine on money proves nothing.
Just... Wow. And that's why I will never visit Dubai - not because I'm a drug smuggler or user, but because I might step on a grain of heroine or something while in the airport and lose years of my life to those idiots.
They pretend to be a normal civilized nation, but in the end they are nothing better than the medieval goatfuckers from which they descended.
