Cocaine killing dozens in U.S. with pseudo-AIDS
You know all that de-wormer Levamisole people keep finding cut into their cocaine? ... You don’t? ... Ok, well not to get all technical but the cartels have started cutting cocaine with an anti-helmitic (that means ‘it kills worms’) called Levamisole. No one really knows why, but suffice to say, if you’re doing cocaine in America, you’re doing a de-wormer.
Ever more gross, Levamisole kills your white blood cells. That means it destroys your immune system, and leaves you open to death by infection just like AIDS. Cocaine can now give you pseudo-AIDS and has killed potentially dozens in the U.S. in 2009, the Harm Reduction Journal reports.
Best of all, there’s no way to test your bag for the cutting agent, aside from a site called Ecstacy Data. They’ve only received one test request from the U.S. – and yes it had pseudo-AIDS-inducing Levamisole in it.
You might be wondering: What’s it going to take to get some pure cocaine in this country?
The answer: work for the Stepan Corporation. They have an exclusive license to import coca leaf, and process it into pure cocaine for medical use while giving sloppy seconds to … you guessed it: Coca-Cola.
There, now you learned something.
