WHY does the White House care about OUR PISS???!!!

[nattynattygurrl]

thought some of u might find this interesting....

no matter how u feel about cocaine specifically, ths ultimately has direct implications for our community, & sets a nasty precident for the country as a whole!!!
(not to mention further illustraiting the 'Orwellian style' gov't the US currently has in place, perfectly!!)


Fairfax Co. Takes Part in Unusual Wastewater Experiment

Mar 27th - FAIRFAX, Va. -

Fairfax County is taking part in an unusual White House drug study.

Wastewater from communities throughout the Potomac River Basin is being tested for the urinary byproducts of cocaine.

"Apparently, they're able to ascertain how many people may be using illicit drugs, in this case cocaine, with such studies," Board of Supervisors Chairman Gerry Connolly tells WTOP.

Earlier this month, county workers collected five days worth of water samples at the pollution control plant in Lorton. The samples were sent to a lab in Rockville, Md., to be analyzed for the traces of the main urinary byproduct of cocaine.

"It does not indicate that we have an unusual drug problem in Fairfax County," Connolly says. "I'll be interested, obviously, in the results. It's kind of an unusual study and an unusual request. Obviously, we're prepared to cooperate with any endeavor to try to make sure the use of illicit drugs is discouraged in our community."

White House officials believe the wastewater testing will lead to a more accurate index of how many people use drugs than traditional survey research.

truely a weird study!! will it take into account the flushed during a raid counts or the pissed off wife that finds a bag and flushes it,dudes that did so much they throw up in the toilet,ect so many variables that it could never be "scientific"!!

 

[robobond]

Wow. Another usefull way to spend our tax dollars. Collecting urine. I swear I love this country but the goverment can suck my left nut.

 

[genkisan]

Just remember folks, the "War Against Drugs" is HUGE business......as long as folks like these asshat researchers and the private prison companies(!!) are making mega-bucks from the fed govt, they will continue to perpetuate stupidness like this, and much worse.

 

[KingRalph]

whoa, very odd and appauling action. even the town authorities are like wtf, but of course cooperating. "your city tested over 1% for possible cocaine use. that's it, entire city on lock down for 1 month."

thanks for sharin natty

 

[mean mr.mustard]

I'm with ralph there on that one. They want to be sure that there is enough probable cause to arrest the entire basin area. The local government must be hard up for money.... don't we pay taxes????

Another triumph for the US

Another triumph for the US

NOT!



Aw lovely. Another Whiteyhouse study that is a HUGE waste of tax dollars. Yo Bush...quit playin in the potty and get back to work!


"Associated Press also reports that officials will be extensively examining fecal samples. A White House spokesman states that high levels of Falafel in the fecal samples will prove that there are Muslim extremists living in the tested area. "

No shit!

seriously though i dont think it would affect the outcome because they are testing for the unrinary byproduct of cocaine not the actual cocaine level. Hell that might not even matter. Also I think coke isnt soluable with water but im not sure on that...Ill stop talking out my ass now and if you live in Fairfax....move!

i believe it tests in piss.. but it leaves the body in 3 days

Cocaine HCL (powder) IS water soluble (Very soluble actually) while Cocaine Base (crack/rock/freebase) is NOT water soluble.

Thats odd!!!

 

[Nikijad4210]

Didn't they do a similar study of the water somwhere in Italy last year? I know I read about that somewhere.....

 

[Aroma]

maybe their testing for quality, not quantity. trying to find the best state to score coke for bush and co to tweak with. Is it true about Bush being a coke addict btw he mustve lost those braincells somehow, it's not normal.

 

[nattynattygurrl]

yea, they did Nikijad, there's sumthg on DailyKos about tht

 

[monkeyman]

I'm not sure if flushed cocaine will show up. I don't know how drug tests work but its entirely possible they test for something other then cocaine, rather a by product of the cocaine waste after it has been metabolized by your system.

geez guys...who gives a shit. they're trying to get an estimate of how many people use drugs. big deal. this isn't going to effect big policy changes with respect to drug laws and whatnot. and i certainly don't feel my privacy is being invaded by this. so who really cares? maybe some good will even come out of this...maybe the government realize so many people use cocaine and other drugs that jail time is stupid and they'll increase the amount of treatment programs or alternatives to incarceration.

True. If they were monitoring the water waste from individual houses then it would be different.

Cocaine HCL (powder) IS water soluble (Very soluble actually) while Cocaine Base (crack/rock/freebase) is NOT water soluble.

Yep amazing.
