No, you need to be able to stop talking to swim

That seems pretty obvious on its face doesn't it? Have the scientists ever done coke? If they had they likely wouldn't have needed to zoot up a bunch of salmon, there's a reason it's called marching powder, disco dust, etc. it's not because of its sedative like qualities, I'd bet.

But imagine what it could've meant if it /didn't/ work.

I heard it only lasts like an hour though so it seems really crap for marching compared to adderall

It'll last as long as you have more lol. Back when I dabbled, my buddies and I would go through a quarter oz (7grams) in a weekend occasionally. Coke is cheap here b/c of proximity to Mexico, and is relatively un-stepped on because of its prevalence. It's really common in clubs and bars here.

So what I'm hearing is we need to dose rivers with cocaine to sufficiently bring salmon populations back to normal levels

[–] insurgentrat@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

seems like it was necessary to abuse some animals for this?

How do you get a mirror and cocaine in water for the salmon to snort? Also, do dollar bills hold up while submerged?
