A new study by a Spanish pharmacologist has revealed traces of human faeces in the vast majority of the cannabis sold on the streets of Madrid, Spain, and that it presents a very real health danger.
Manuel Pérez Moreno released his findings in the journal Science Direct and claimed to have found Escherichia coli bacteria, commonly known as E. Coli, in the vast majority of the 90 samples he had purchased off the street and tested, broadcaster RTL reports.
According to Moreno, the presence of E. Coli can be explained as being related to the faecal matter contained within the cannabis.
How the human excrement got into the drugs was explained by Moreno. He said that it had to do with the way the drugs were being smuggled into Spain, saying that many drug mules put the cannabis in plastic bags which they swallow and then defecate the drugs out when they arrive in Spain.

Last December, the Spanish government arrested a group of 42 North Africans and seized 3.25 metric tonnes of hashish during the operation. Five boats and five other vehicles used to help transport drugs across the Strait of Gibraltar were also seized.

For your interest.
You’ve never scored any Barcelona Brown? ;)
that is some good... stuff there.
She’s cute today, but ten years from now she’ll look like H E Double Hockey Sticks.

I doubt it. This seems like a ridiculously inefficient way to transport something like cannabis.

Steve Martin’s dog in ‘The Jerk’ comes to mind.
It’s got some Labrador in it, man
You beat me by 5 minutes (I’m getting slowww...).
They would sure need a lot of “mules” to do that...
Must be the good sh*t. I’m just sayin’
Exactly. I can’t imagine how it would be successful.
My dog ate my stash, man.
You are correct. Makes no economic sense to smuggle marijuana like heroin.
A lot of it is how you define “Human feces.” A general bacteria category like Coliforms, or even E. coli (which has mostly non-harmful strains) are found on many plants and vegetables. 75% is high, so pot growing operations are clearly not sanitary operations.
Every industry requires some oversight, especially imports.
Drug dealers and users are dirty, disgusting people. I’m just shocked.
Once upon a time in a far away land, the locals found that if they took some camel crap added a pinch of strychnine and baked it in the sun in a hashish mold until it was a golden brown, it looked almost like the real thing. Adding a bit of black shoe polish helped it acquire a mild hashish scent.
So they put it one the market and low and behold because of the very low price it became a runaway best seller found in all the best drug emporiums in Europe.
As the profits mounted, the markets in the US opened up and there too it became a run away best seller, particularly in the New York-New Jersey area circa 1975 when the yellowish variety became widely available.
How can a person tell if you have the real thing? The real thing has no bits of straw mixed in.
Leave it to stoners to get poop in the pot. At least it is organic poop.
