Yikes. Sharks near Rio have cocaine in their muscle tissue & livers.
The article didn't have a share button, so here's the title shot & most pertinent text.

Yup. But that they suspect so much excess cocaine coming from the sewers into the ocean is staggering.
Guess I didn't realize that cocaine use was still so prevalent. Thought it had taken a backseat to the newer crap out there.
@VictoriaLandis1 Exactly. I didn't even realize there could be a by-product but then I never thought to learn about how cocaine is made. Until now. Thanks for the prompt to learn something new today.
Now I wonder about all the other cities with inadequate sanitation facilities and high drug use. Also wonder about all those orcas turning boats over a while ago. And whales that beach themselves, did anyone test them for cocaine?
Huh. Interesting thoughts. Logical, too.
@CJLavoie my mind wandered in the same direction

...and Paris, during the Olympics, will there be a spike in the Seine afterward, from all the "celebrations"? And wherever the river enters the ocean...
Makes me wonder if the animators who did Nemo knew something we didn't? 😜
@VictoriaLandis1 if you swim with the sharks you’ll think you can swim with the sharks until the sharks choose otherwise.
I pictured chemicals running downriver from where the cocaine is first processed but I didn't think of smugglers losing product.
I lived in South Florida for 25 years. Believe me, square groupers are still a thing. One of my SO's dive boats found a huge one about a month ago.
Square groupers?
Damn, there's simply no way to escape this Minecraft trend.
Enjoy that next direct to streaming movie series!
@VictoriaLandis1 Horrifying!
