Cocaine Found in Shrimp in UK, No One Surprised

Scientists found cocaine in freshwater shrimps when testing rivers for chemicals, a study said.

Researchers at King's College London, in collaboration with the University of Suffolk, tested 15 different locations across Suffolk.

Their report said cocaine was found in all samples tested. Other illicit drugs, such as ketamine, were also widespread in the shrimp.

The researchers said it was a "surprising" finding.

Professor Nic Bury, from the University of Suffolk, said: "Whether the presence of cocaine in aquatic animals is an issue for Suffolk, or more widespread an occurrence in the UK and abroad, awaits further research.

"Environmental health has attracted much attention from the public due to challenges associated with climate change and microplastic pollution.

"However, the impact of 'invisible' chemical pollution (such as drugs) on wildlife health needs more focus in the UK."


I read some of the paragraphs, but the BBC makes that boring. I just thought the headline was hilarious as fuck. However, it does bring up some interesting theories about this:

1. Shrimp are evolving at a rate we previously didn't know. The fact that they were found to have drugs on them means they may be getting smarter than shit, possibly having already the process to make cocaine and possibly the Anti-Life Equation. We should enslave them and learn more about them.

2. It's Suffolk. While cocaine isn't such a problem, more harder drugs such as ketamine and Irish potatoes make for a possible conclusion that when Doug the Dealer wakes up after coming down from Smarties, he goes to find his bag of cocaine and asks, "Dude, where's my crack?"

3. It's actually a guy named Shrimp, a drug dealer who is literally made out of thousands of shrimp. When the bobbys come walking by he throws himself in a nearby river, breaking apart and being able to put himself back together again. His favorite sauce is actually Worcestershire.

What do you think is going on NSG?

That's why I saw trump flying in the sky when I went to London last year. Thought it was the litter of meth I thought I pumped into myself.

Plus they're pretty clueless in the states most of the time.

It's not the easiest method of drug smuggling.

Much less noticeable than when a whale shows up in the Thames, though.

I mean, there's got to be a reason they like fish and chips so much, right?

Blegh, seems like it's just trace amounts and that eating coked up shrimp wouldn't have any real effects for a human. Boring.

Run suspiciously with a salmon full of drugs in England. Although the salmon running is illegal, the officers might laugh and not stop you... Do it first without drugs stuffed in it and if it works, load up your salmon.

business idea: refine cocaine from trace quantities in rivers near sewage outflows???
