A Tennessee police department is warning residents to stop flushing drugs down their toilet and sinks out of fear they could create "meth gators."

"Now our sewer guys take great pride in releasing water that is cleaner than what is in the creek, but they are not really prepared for meth," according to a Loretto Police Department social media post. "Ducks, Geese, and other fowl frequent our treatment ponds and we shudder to think what one all hyped up on meth would do." The police posted the warning to Facebook on Saturday after officers found a suspect unsuccessfully trying to flush methamphetamine and paraphernalia at their home.

I am more worried about the mutant gators from Oak Ridge.

I wonder this solves Florida Man. All the meth that has entered the FL water supply might be driving the epidemic of Florida Man incidents.

Like druggies give a poop

What’s the big deal? The meth head gators will lose their teeth anyway so they can’t hurt anyone.

“Don’t pollute before you shoot!”

OH GREAT!
Now, you've given them a movie idea to compete with Sharknado

“Meth Gator”. That would be the perfect name for a Southern Rock band....

On the plus side, they’ll have no teeth.

That is an incredible grasp of the brutally obvious kind of funny. Bravo!!

Gators in Tennessee? Had to check that one out and it surprised me that yes they have been spotted.

No gators here in Oak Ridge, winters too cold, but
Deer hunts on the reservation require
turning the deer in to be counted,
and their not counting points on antlers,
but liver specimens for Strontium-90 and Cesium-137

1-2 are sequestered per year

Drugs also come out from urine. What goes in, must come out.

In New York City, the band would punk and called “Albino Gators on Heroin”.

And if you flush you cocaine down rhe toilet, you could be creating crackodioles.

A handful of pills into millions of gallons of water.
Sure you can detect the presence chemically but would it not be too diluted to have any practical effect on wildlife?

[C19fan]

There are claims all the hormones excreted by urine from women taking birth control is responsible for mutant amphibians.
