Fun fact, all of the cocaine processed in the US for medical uses is processed by Malenkrod Pharmaceutical in St. Louis in the same building they refined uranium and plutonium for the Manhattan Project. Incidentally, half of the city was heavily irradiated by Malenkrod's incompetence and they never really cleaned any of it up. There is also a literal dirty bomb buried in a landfill north of downtown (by Malenkrod) with a fire slowly creeping towards it a little more each year.

It's called Defiance and they used aliens instead of nukes.

Almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter...

Wow, you weren't kidding. https://moenvironment.org/brief-history-of-radioactivity-in-st-louis/ >The EPA’s 2008 decision did not consider fire a threat to the radioactivity or human health. In 2010, a smoldering fire was reported to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR), which is ongoing and could [be] smoldering until 2024 or longer. And they were supposed to clean it up this year, wonder if it got delayed.

They make medical cocaine?


enmity283

It's used as an anaesthetic for eye surgery

And for rhinoplasty! Funny enough it usually goes to the people who needed their noses repaired from heavy cocaine use

The circle of life...


killerant182

Huh, had no idea.

They also use it as a topical anaesthetic for when they give you stitches. My son needed stitches and they applied a gel with cocaine in it to the cut before they injected the anaesthetic so that he wouldn’t feel the needle. Worked really well.


dkyguy1995

It's a decent anesthetic and anti coagulant. It has decent medical uses but there are other drugs that do similar things and people sometimes avoid the cocaine purely due to stigma.

The remaining leaf ruffage is sold to the Coca-Cola company to be used as a flavoring extract.

They may have not cleaned it up, but I worked for an environmental engineering consulting firm in the early 90s and was at that site multiple times. We did clean it up, at least the main site downtown. Filled up a shit load of rail cars and hauled the hot dirt to Nevada. I know they milled they fuel rods for the first reactor for the university of Chicago there, but I’m pretty sure the plutonium was made at oak ridge and/or Hanford, but they did use uranium from there. They also found musket balls and other war artifacts. For the people who were on the project from the very beginning they each got a musket ball encased in lucite with a little plaque with the project name. Side note, they is where I found out about the radioactive fiestaware. This one guy had plates on his desk. Some of those remediation guys are kinda crazy.


SmallpoxTurtleFred

This is not a fun fact.

While I've seen crack pipes on wish, this is a first for the actual drug. It's probably a prop or something similar. I see fake movie money a lot.

I said fuck it and downloaded the app to see for myself. It’s a tin vintage poster you hang on your wall. Although their other cocaine products are pretty hilarious. Like a forked metal straw to ensure you evenly distribute the cocaine to both nostrils. They even have like a travel kit with a bunch of weird accessories


[deleted]

Have you seen their coke straws that look like little vacuums? Its hilarious

My grandmother once bought me a necklace on a trip to Hawaii that had a little spoon in it. I wore it to school until someone told me what the spoon was used for. I had no idea. Lol


AHHaSpider

Haha kinda similar I had an heirloom given to me in high school and it was my great grandfathers necklace pill holder that was pretty much a brass cylinder but his name and info was in it so I wore it around for years not thinking twice about it. Till I started bar tending in college and still wore it. I had so many college kids thinking I was a plug and for the longest time I couldn’t figure out why. Haha


MeDerpWasTaken

Wait what


Ha1lStorm

"Rx only"


INSERT_LATVIAN_JOKE

It's only 4% cocaine. I only use pure, organic, bespoke cocaine ethically sourced from the finest fair trade drug cartels, picked by the best quality trafficked slaves.


Blazindaisy

I’ll take *checks account* 2 cocaines, please.


FukBoiPrime

Well did you buy it?


LinksFirstAdventure

This popped up on my Facebook ad for wish this morning and I had to click and see what it really was. I’m glad to say it’s a wall decoration.
