Sharks in Brazil test positive for cocaine

Candygrams don’t deliver themselves.

Next up: Heroin hawks! Ecstasy eagles!

Marijuana sloths.

Crocs on crack!

Anacondas on acid! then it can fight the crack-o-dile in the sequel.

As we speak, there is a network executive being pitched a show where they have a bear and a shark fight for the last hit of cocaine.

Meth marmots.

[How would you even know?]

Actually I think they’re partial to sloe gin.

I know you’re the pro in these matters not me.

OTOH, a reasonably effective dose of Fentanyl legitimately prescribed might be 25 micrograms per hour. Into a critter with ~5 liters of blood. So about 5 micrograms per liter is enough to have real physiological / psychological effects.

I’m imagining scientists in a lab looking for all sorts of contaminants in marine life; microplastics, carcinogens, petrochemicals, etc. One of them gets bored one day and looks for cocaine. Bam! Stop the presses!

This being the waters off Brazil, I’m surprised they didn’t test the sharks for fentanyl. The effects could more than balance out the cocaine, leading to mellow sharks that don’t bother anybody.

A materials engineers told me recently “You can fine trace amounts of everything in everything if you look hard enough.”

Let’s say you are in an e-boat that is obviously going to sink because the battery is too heavy. Do you go down with the ship and get electrocuted? Or, do you jump over by the sharks? What if you knew the sharks weren’t hopped up on cocaine…would that influence your decision?

That’s nothing to sniff at.

I hope Hannibal is in the boat with a nice Chianti.

I thought cocaine would be off the West coast of South America.

Now we know the real crop planted in the deforested areas of the Amazon!
