Topic: Levamisole

Medical reports from Harbor-UCLA Medical Center highlight a trend of cocaine contaminated with levamisole, a livestock dewormer that causes skin necrosis and "rotting flesh." The hosts speculate that the government may be using these health scares to push users toward other substances or to maintain control over the drug supply.

Reports of cocaine laced with Levamisole, a veterinary deworming agent that causes flesh-eating skin reactions, have resurfaced. The hosts jokingly suggest this is a government tactic to push users toward heroin, which is sourced from U.S.-controlled poppy fields in Afghanistan. They frame the drug trade as a competition between different government-backed warlords.

Reports indicate that 90% of the cocaine supply in San Francisco is currently contaminated with Levamisole, a veterinary deworming drug. This adulterant is known to cause severe health complications and potential death in human users. The contamination is discussed in the context of shifting drug supply chains and the risks associated with the current illicit market.

The CDC and DEA report that 69% of seized cocaine shipments in the United States contain Levamisole, a veterinary deworming drug. The hosts speculate that drug cartels may be using the "dangerous side effect" marketing tactic used by legal pharmaceutical companies to shift users toward heroin.
