So glad we're funding critical research like this...

My worries are that all these drugs are not being filtered out at the waste treatment plant and coming back to us all in our tap water. Not good.

That's why I never drink sewage from senior centers because of all those pharmaceuticals and vaccines they're taking. /s

They can’t filter out meds already. It’s not good and the greenie left hides it.

Yeah, the government needed a "study" to figure out that use increased.

I think I could have saved them some money.

Water treatment plants remove solids, pathogens, nitrogen, and phosphorus, not drug residue. However, the chemicals are highly diluted after being released into your reservoir or river.

A sewage plant employee dropped his jacket into the cesspool and was trying to fish it out with a stick when his friend asked him why, and he said - “my lunch and reefer is in the pocket, dude”.

“However, the chemicals are highly diluted after being released into your reservoir or river.”

I can now understand why the salmon industry is having so much trouble up here in Washington state. The fish are getting high and can’t, don’t want to, or can’t find their way, travel up the rivers to spawn or get caught. There is probably a large conglomeration of them right at the entry to the Columbia River right now just as stoned as clams.

LOL! Also, even if they made it to the spawning grounds, they couldn’t reproduce because the water is full of residue from birth control pills.

They found similar findings when prescription drugs became a problem.
It is going to get worse.
“Cross and the Switchblade” was written about the NYC drug problem in the 60’s and this is going to be far, far worse.

Now it is a weapon of the left to control and motivate their Bots.

Look at the “men” all around you. You can see the results of decades of female birth control hormones going into our water supply.

Marijuana use causes permanent psychosis, szhizophrenia and brain damage. It destroys the areas of the brain involved in rational thinking, motivation and future planning. But Big Marijuana and their allies on the left and leftist media cover all that up. And yet everyone wonders why we have hundreds of thousands of brain-damaged, mentally ill “homeless” wandering our streets.

the dream of leftist is to get everybody stoned so they’re more easily manipulated. That’s why the left always Advocate marijuana legalization.
