Nearly a third of all cocaine seized in the United States is laced with a dangerous veterinary medicine — a livestock de-worming drug that might enhance cocaine's effects but has been blamed in at least three deaths and scores of serious illnesses.
The medication called levamisole has killed at least three people in the U.S. and Canada and sickened more than 100 others. It can be used in humans to treat colorectal cancer, but it severely weakens the body's immune system, leaving patients vulnerable to fatal infections.
But what kind of idiots would murder their customer base during a recession?
Authorities believe cocaine manufacturers are adding the levamisole in Colombia, before the cocaine is smuggled into the U.S. and Canada to be sold as white powder or crack.
Here's a picture I came across earlier of the Colombian foreign minister:
This guy definitely just shoved a brick of levamisole up his nose.
Conclusion: this fashion week is going to be a real snooze. Or totally killer. Take your pick.
Everything used to be more fun.
