On the bright side, if you run out of heroin you might look at getting a job with the London sewer system.


"You could take this down to a community, a street, even a house," Daughton said. "You can do all kinds of stuff with this. It's sort of unlimited."

What would show up if they tested your house?

I'd probably be busted for excessive caffeine consumption.

The next time I see the sewer guys I'm going to ask them if they're narcs.

Daughton, who was interested in environmental ramifications, realized that the data could help law enforcement, sociologists and others trying to gauge trends in drug abuse.

Most of those experts rely on door-to-door annual surveys, which are based on questioning of 70,000 people nationwide. Based on that, they estimate more than 20 million Americans used illicit drugs in 2006.


Uh huh.

Question 20.

Do you use illegal drugs? Yes or No.


Why ... NO of course! I'm sure they get a good view of people's drug habits via surveys!:p

Question 21:

Would you provide a stool and urine sample?

To get a typical dose of cocaine, someone would have to drink 1,000 liters of raw sewage, Field said.

Finally. With rising gasoline prices putting the squeeze on people's discretionary income, at last there's a cost-effective alternative.

so, who's testing the drugs for poop?
I mean, considering where/how they are made (http://www.usdoj.gov/methawareness/) (I really doubt conditions are sanitary), where they are put when smuggled (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_packer)...

Can they detect self loathing and regret in poop?

I don't think *they* can, but the bike gods sure can. Its why I always get two flats on already-bad days- so I'd stay away from that self loathing/regret shizz... its dangerous.

They can read our email, listen to our cell calls, follow our spending and banking, image us naked at the airport, BUT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ANALYZE MY POOP!!!

I'm bottling it until democracy returns.
