Do they make cocaine in pill form?
No that's why its bullshit. Cocaine isn't psychoactive orally at quantities that could be pressed into a pill. Its also fuckinhlg expensive and MDMA is dirt cheap. Pill pressers could've added 10x more MDMA in a pill for less amount of money then a non psychoactive amount of cocaine. Makes no sense.
Not saying this didn't happen. But outlets never understand how shit works irl.
Yeah, it's like back in the early 90s we'd do pills and people would say the heavy ones had smack in them. I had to explain, weight for weight, smack was way more expensive than mdma. And I was doing both. They cut it with some other shit. Really good pills back in those days, though. Best night of your life, every time.
What probably went on: dealer weighted his cocaine, after that with the same scoop MDMA. That MDMA now has cocaine traces, and ends up in pills.
Not that I don't agree with going w/ every opertunity to get this fucker locked up. But this is also how people end up multiple years jail for one pill, if they really hate you.
That's what I was thinking. Either that or the coke was a false positive.
I mean, yeah, your suggestion is plausible. It would only be trace amounts though.
Fact is, there's never an excuse for dosing anyone, ever, not without their knowledge and informed consent. That shit is unforgivable.
Also, looks like this fucker dosed his own granddaughter. And I'm thinking he probably didn't do it just to give her a nice buzz. Particularly as he's a republican. His own granddaughter.
Edit Shit I've just realised ppl might not understand 90s British slang - to dose someone meant to give them drugs without their knowledge, usually a debilitating amount.
