Student receives free cocaine with Amazon textbook order

Any university student who has ever purchased a used textbook knows that there are sometimes strange surprises hiding between those pages. Usually they come in the form of messy scribbles or perhaps even a forgotten piece of gum, but in one student's case the unexpected (and unwanted) gift-with-a-textbook-purchase was a bag of cocaine.

When Stockton flipped through the textbook, she "discovered a bag of white powder had fallen to the ground." According to WPTV, Stockton feared that the bag contained anthrax and took it to the local police department the next day:

"I told them white powder was in my terrorism textbook and so I put it on the table and they’re like, 'oh, okay,' And so he went back and tested it,” Stockton recalls. “ He comes back and says, ‘you didn’t happen to order some cocaine with your textbook, did you?’ And I was like, no!”

I was wondering about that myself.

LOL! “Five stars!”

anhydrous silica, to keep the pages dry.

In that case, somewhere in the world a cokehead is snorting desiccant.

"University of The Valley" perhaps?

Fer shur!

I always order from amazon and I’ve never gotten any cocaine. Should I be disappointed?

That’s usually large crystals of silica gel in a paperish looking bag. Snorting that would bring on a horrible coughing spell, I’d think.

Depends on how much you wanted free cocaine.

She should be thankful the book wasn't being tracked by some multi-jurisdictional drug task force. She could have easily been the target of one of those vile SWAT raids, such as happened to a small town mayor in Maryland a few years ago. Police shot and killed his two labs.

If they’re coked enough to try snorting desiccant, they probably have no nasal septum left to get in the way.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Why not just send it to Demi Moore?

You never know where stuff is going to turn up. Back in 72 or 73 (those years are kinda hazy for me) I needed a replacement gas tank for a 1958 Bug. One has to lift the cardboard "trunk liner" to see the top of the Bug's tank to see if it is the right one. There, under the cardboard on one of the Bugs, was a little plastic baggie of something I suspected was NOT oergano.

Later testing confirmed that it was not, in fact, oregano. Testing further verified that it was a good-quality product.

Having admitted that, I can never run for office. Oh, well...

[petercooper]

Animal House right?

[Slings and Arrows]

She has her own.

[Paine in the Neck]

Huh? What?

If I really thought it was anthrax I don't think I would 1. keep it around until the next day or 2. transport it myself anywhere.

Like, don’t dis Valley Girls, dude. As if!
