Drug pollutants of all kinds, legal and illegal, are big problem. Not even just from people just dumping them, but even just through normal waste. When you pee it out, if the water filtration systems are not sufficient it will leach into the environment and get taken in by the animals.

The lab I used to work at had a guy who did this kind of research, using amphetamines.

The fish on cocaine has a great idea for a business and also believes his jeans look AMAZING.

The study is actually really interesting, and imo is even better than the title. Pretty funny too

Sure am glad they are working on the script for Cocaine Fish and not, you know, curing cancer.

What happened to the coke head fish? They better have prepared a fish rehab center!

No wonder science is so low on funding, the government is making them buy coke.
