Warning: Cocaine, Crack Being Cut with Levamisole

June 9th, 2009 by Rick

Big bags of cocaine

A reported three drug users required hospitalization in Seattle stemming from close to fatal poisoning from the drug Levamisole, a deworming medication for animals, that was used to cut the crack and cocaine they consumed.

Public Health of Seattle & King County claimed that one patient alone had a medical bill of $100,000 and another needed surgery. Apparently, Levamisole can wipe out a human’s white blood cell count and create other serious health problems:

  • high fever
  • chills
  • swollen glands
  • painful sores on the mouth and anus

They issued an alert last Thursday to rehab centers in an effort to reach the users about Levamisole. Director of the public-health department, David Fleming, said:

You can’t tell if the cocaine or crack is contaminated with Levamisole by looking at it. [...] Don’t take a chance and risk your life.

According to Bob Wood, AIDS-control officer with Public Health, until last fall, little was known about Levamisole, because it was “obscurely reported” in the medicinal field despite it being discovered in the 1960’s.

Wood noted:

It’s a good time to remind people that cocaine is a dangerous drug. [...] Now, it’s dangerous for another reason.

Cases in a couple of states as well as areas in Canada and England have appeared within the past two years — so apparently it’s a growing epidemic. Cocaine and crack users are essentially playing Russian roulette while chasing their next high.

Vincent Van Gogh Loves Crack, We Swear

Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh: Poor, earless artist by day, coke addict by night? No, not him. A different one.

On Monday, May 4th, 42-year old Vincent Vladimer Van Gogh of Delray Beach was sent to Palm Beach County Jail charged with possession of cocaine and driving with a suspended license, after Boynton Beach police officers pulled him over and found a suspended driver’s license and 2.6 grams of crack cocaine in his cup holder.

As badass as it would be to be born with a name like Vincent Van Gogh, he actually changed his given name of Vincent Rossman to the more illustrious one, after serving two years in prison for bailing the scene of a traffic homicide in the late 90s.

Delray Beach Van Gogh remained in county jail Tuesday night pending a $3,500 bond.


Microwave Used as Ultimate Crack Tool

April 13th, 2009 by Russ

Ding! Crack's done!

Spending long hours traveling back and forth to your local lab? Tired of lining up huge networks of hydroponics to get the grow houses running? Then, drop all that effort-intensive work and try some crack today! And all you need to start is a microwave oven. It’s the easy, breezy way to create your very own illegal narcotics.

According to the TCPalm, Javaris Kirk, of Fort Pierce, Florida, was arrested last week after allegedly admitting to making crack-cocaine with his microwave oven. Mr. Kirk later admitted that he was a convicted felon and, as such, felt a special bond with Martha Stewart.

Authorities searching his home also found five ecstasy tablets in his bathroom, a 9mm pistol with no serial, and a homemade tea cozy crafted out of extra table cloth. Jokes aside, don’t do crack.

How to Setup Your Kid for Failure in Life

November 19th, 2008 by Alex

Step 1) Name him/her after a notorious underworld figure – and don’t forget to fuck up on the spelling.

Step 2) Finished.

I mean, really. This kid shouldn’t even be on trial. His parents should be dragged before the judge and asked if they saw a crack possession charge coming when they named their bundle of joy “Dalcapone Alpaccino.”

I would pay a serious chunk of change to hear just a piece of the conversation about how Dalcapone got named…

Mom: Let’s name this thing Lucciano Pescci Denirogotti.
Dad: Nah woman, Dalcapone Alpaccino.
Mom: Nailed it!

Hmmm, I wonder if anyone else was unlucky enough to be named Dalcapone? Yep, this douche was.

Back to Dalcapone Alpaccino, his whole docket’s available online, but you shouldn’t be able to charge anyone with parents as stupid as this. No matter what he allegedly did, it’s not all his fault, he didn’t even get a fair start.

Just Say No: Cartoon All-Stars

December 20th, 2006 by Alex

Sponge Bob who? If you need to learn about saying NO to drugs, it’s time to get real with the Cartoon All-Stars. Here we have a couple of outtakes from this ironically hilarious anti-drug PSA.

No one drops knowledge like Alf or Bugs Bunny, Baby Kermit or the Chipmunk kids. They give it to you straight – Marijuana leads to craziness, you turn into a ghoulish zombie on drugs and the smoke monster loves crack. There really isn’t anything more to say.

Entire episode action after the jump.
